Hardware failures on Oregon State mirror
----------------------------------------
On Friday, the server that hosts gentoo.oregonstate.edu suffered two hard
disk failures in its RAID 5 array, one of which was unfortunately the hot
spare. This caused a series of problems, including a number of corrupted
files and bad digests. We are actively working with the folks at OSU to
resolve the problem, both in the short term as well as the long term. In
the mean time, users are asked to use an alternate mirror[1] until the
problem has been fully resolved.

Gentoo Linux is seeking developers for the GNOME team
-----------------------------------------------------
The Gentoo GNOME Desktop team is looking for new developers to help squash
bugs and keep the Gentoo GNOME-related ebuilds on the bleeding edge of
development. We are looking for dedicated developers, preferably with
experience in developing for GNOME/GTK, some experience in creating
ebuilds and solid problem solving capabilities. A plus would be experience
in the area of accessibility, possibly in combination with GNOME. Most of
all we're looking for people who stand completely behind the current GNOME
development philosophy. If you think you got what it takes and can help us
out then please send a resume to Marinus Schraal[2], explain why you would
like to be part of the team, include references to work you've done on OSS
and provide us with your bugzilla email address if possible.

Gentoo Linux in the news
------------------------
Gentoo Linux has been generating some good press of late, with a mention
on Slashdot[3] discussing our intent to port Gentoo Linux to the AMD
Opteron platform. Additionally, Gentoo Linux received a favorable
review[4] from LinuxWorld.com, where the author states, "[U]ntil further
notice, Gentoo is now my flavor of Linux."

GLSA: ut2003-demo
-----------------
The Unreal Tournament game demo has a bug in how it handles spoofed
negative index values. This could permit a denial of service attack on the
client.
The security fix for this bug caused problems with the game itself. As
such, it has been removed in -r2 of the ebuild until a better patch can be
integrated.
* Severity: Moderate - DoS.
* Packages Affected: app-games/ut2003-demo prior to ut2003-demo-2206-r1
* Rectification: Synchronize and emerge ut2003-demo, emerge clean.

3. User stories
===============
Mathy and lanzone.be
Mathy Vanvoorden[16] from Belgium organizes LAN parties together with his
brother and some other people. He is the webmaster of lanzone.be[17]
(where he also did the HTML and PHP coding) and politics.be[18]. A few
months ago the LANzone team decided to switch all their gameservers to
Gentoo Linux (except for Delta Force Land Warrior, which only runs on
Windows) and now we're going to learn about the tricks involved:
16. matje@lanzone.be
17. http://www.lanzone.be
18. http://www.politics.be
Avoiding backaches
All of Mathy's gameservers are thin clients which boot from a Dual Pentium
III. This setup has many benefits over regular servers. Firstly they don't
need any hard drives, which saves money and leads to lighter servers which
is really nice for the backs of the people carrying them. :-) But the
greatest advantage is the easiness of hooking up a new game server: just
plug in two network cards, set the MAC adress in dhcpd so the machine gets
a static IP adress, copy a base directory and have fun!
Details on the thin clients
The setup used by Mathy and his friends is slightly based on the Linux
Terminal Server Project[19] but evolved beyond that. Although they are
using the project's kernel patch, the initrd script has already been
modified and lots of changes were made to the Gentoo Linux init scripts
(e.g. removing dependencies so that init wouldn't try to fsck mounted NFS
systems).
19. http://www.ltsp.org
Using these thin clients is very easy: they are connected to the main
server using a 100 MBit switch and boot from a floppy (although the
LANzone guys are thinking about buying network cards with boot roms so
they can get rid of the disk drives which would be even better for their
backs ;-). After booting they just present a regular login. Based on which
user one enters a gameserver will be started. This is accomplished by
replacing the login shells with a script that starts up the server. So for
example login in using the UID 'ut2k3instadm' will bring up an UT 2003
Instagib deathmatch server.
Final words
Many other small adaptations had to been done for specific gameservers,
but this would go to far to be covered here. As a last note, LANzone also
uses Gentoo Linux for the 0.5 Terabyte FTP server (running ProFTPD[20])
and the router (using iptables[21] and Squid[22] to limit incoming traffic
to 5 kB/s per user), although Mathy's thinking about switching the router
to a BSD because he heard that they handle traffic shaping better than
Linux and he's curious about trying it out.

Web Forums
----------
Gnome 2.3.2
Forum veteran Lovechild[23] started a thread announcing the ebuild he
concocted mere minutes after the new Gnome version was published, and ever
since then the band of Gnome fanatics in the forums has been merrily
patching and tweaking it to almost stable use. Get carried away by the
enthusiasm in this thread:
* GNOME 2.3.2 is out now. [EBUILDS INSIDE][24]

When Portage Chokes
You'd expect critical alerts on bugs.gentoo.org or the mailing lists
first, but whenever something affects a large number of people, many of
them look to the Forums as the main emergency alert mechanism. Last week,
Oregon State University's rsync server had temporary trouble that
immediately got spotted by a lot of users. Check the sticky thread for an
instant workaround in cases like this:
* corrupt portage? MD5 sum problems[25]

JRE Support - Is it worth it?
It has been brought up that there might be a couple of good reasons to
remove the Java Runtime Envirronment (JRE) support from Gentoo. Read the

=======================
Gentoo Poland Established
Their URL[27] points to more than just Poland as a base, but it's essentially
for their compatriots here and there and everywhere that the Polish Gentooists
busied themselves with setting up a complete Gentoo Poland framework. Started
by a handful of activists a few weeks ago, the #gentoo-pl IRC channel on
irc.freenode.net is now quite popular, and the very well organized website has
made great progress in providing translations of the Gentoo documentation, a
forum of their own, and many other features. And to round it all up, the group
around Jaroslaw Swierad is currently bringing together enough translators to
work on a Polish version of the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter, too.

German Gentoo User Meeting Planning
A small group of Gentoo Linux users, led by Gentoo developer Sascha
Schwabbauer and Gentoo Linux user Tilman Klar, have started an effort to
put together a German Gentoo User Meeting. As part of the effort, Sascha
has put up a web page[29] that asks German Gentoo Linux users where they
live. The responses to this survey will determine where the meeting will
be held. Anyone interested in attending is invited to input their location
using the above form.

Additional details about the German Gentoo Linux user meeting will be made
available in future editions of the GWN.

8. Tips and Tricks
==================
Blocking Spam with bogofilter
While we've already had one tip on blocking spam with SpamAssassin, this
week we look at another way to block spam using bogofilter (available in
portage), crontab and Evolution. This example uses MH style mailboxes but
could be extended to other types as well.
This week's tip was submitted by John Mylchreest[120].
120. mailto:johnm_NOSPAM_@gentoo.org
You will need bogofilter and a mail client that reads MH style mailboxes
such as mutt or Evolution.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a folder called SPAM and mark it as MH format. Additionally, mark
Inbox as MH format.
Add a filter for incoming mail that pipes to a shell command. The shell
command should be /usr/bin/bogofilter. Set the return condition to 0 and
set the action as "Move to Folder SPAM". Add another action to this filter
called "Stop Processing".
Create another filter than runs after the first one. This filter should
have two criteria. The first is that Size should be greater than 0. The
second is another external pipe; this time to /usr/bin/bogofilter -Sn
(notice the -Sn). The -Sn option tells bogofilter to register the text as
non-spam and to undo any prior registrations of the message as spam.
The last step is to set up a crontab to evaluate spam messages. Add the
following to your crontab with crontab -e.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 8.2: |
| crontab |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
|Go through the SPAM folder and learn what spam looks like |
|0 0 * * * cd ~/evolution/local/SPAM/mbox/ ; for i in *; do if \ |
|[ ! "$i" = "*" ] ; then /usr/bin/bogofilter -Ns < $i ; \ |
|rm $i ; fi ; done |
|Go through the Inbox folder and learn what spam is not. |
|5 0 * * * cd ~/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox/; for i in *; do if \ |
|[ ! "$i" = "*" ] ; then /usr/bin/bogofilter -Sn < $i ; fi ; done |
