Hello to all. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
After an exciting week of a failed hard drive (/usr, /home, /var) killing |
| 4 |
the IDE port on the motherboard, I've finally got my gentoo box running |
| 5 |
again. Thank gawd for backups (/home, /var, /etc and all data). |

I finished the 'emerge -e world', but have a couple issues. |
| 8 |
First, when issuing the 'su' command, I enter the password and then get |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
peter@crichton ~ $ su - |
| 11 |
Password: |
| 12 |
configuration error - unknown item 'FAILLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator) |
| 13 |
configuration error - unknown item 'LASTLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator) |
| 14 |
configuration error - unknown item 'MOTD_FILE' (notify administrator) |
| 15 |
configuration error - unknown item 'FTMP_FILE' (notify administrator) |
| 16 |
configuration error - unknown item 'ENV_ROOTPATH' (notify administrator) |
| 17 |
configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_MIN_LEN' (notify administrator) |
| 18 |
configuration error - unknown item 'CHFN_AUTH' (notify administrator) |
| 19 |
root ~ $ |
| 20 |
|

As you can see, I still get the root shell, but I'd like to get rid of the |
| 22 |
errors. I know these 'items' are all in /etc/login.defs, but I don't know |
| 23 |
how to get pam-login to play nice. I've seen other questions answered with |
| 24 |
changes to baselayout and/or bash, so I re-emerged both of these. No |
| 25 |
change. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Secondly, I've got a cron that updates nightly and mails me the results. |
| 28 |
One of the lines is |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
diff-eix /var/cache/eix.old | Mail -s "New packages on $(hostname)" root |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The part I can't figure out is the 'Mail' command. Even after emerging |
| 33 |
world, I have no 'Mail' on my system. In fact, I have no 'mail' either. |
| 34 |
What I have in my world file is |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
root ~ $ grep -i mail /var/lib/portage/world |
| 37 |
mail-filter/procmail |
| 38 |
mail-client/mailx-support |
| 39 |
mail-filter/spamassassin |
| 40 |
net-mail/fetchmail |
| 41 |
mail-mta/postfix |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I can get mail from the roadrunner stmp server without any problem, but have |
| 44 |
an issue with local mail. This worked for months, so I know I'm just |
| 45 |
forgetting something I did a long time ago. Any idea what I need to |
| 46 |
emerge, or where the solution may lie? |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Thanks. And backup tonight! |
