My home server has been mis-behaving of late :sick:.Bash keep segfaulting during emerges - one time it caused zlib to get merged incorrectly which meant I had to haul a keyboard and monitor to it as ssh wouldn’t let me in anymore. I was not a happy chappy :(
I’m not sure why this is, as everything is as stable as rock (except for my horde + php5 combo which causes iconv utf8 assert errors in my apache logs).
….. because we have to …. and you must accept this :puzzled:
Thanks for making me laugh Kumba :D

OK - the number of forum posts regarding being able to specify the name of an interface and the kludgy solutions they came up with was making me cry too much :sick:
So, I wanged a new net-scripts module into baselayout svn today which should remedy the situation. net-tools (ifconfig) ships with nameif and I finally discovered that ip (iproute2) can do the same with the “ip link set name” command.
pump - one of the least liked dhcp clients for whatever reasons.
Due to changes in baselayouts networking (basically moving /etc/{resolv,ntp,yp}.conf to /var/lib/net-scripts/state/${iface} and symlinking) I’ve had to pour over pumps code and make up some patches to enable this and route metrics. The code base is actually very clean - much like udhcps (in terms of readability).
So what does this mean for you? Well, probably not much - but it does mean that pump gets to stay in portage a while longer :P
Actually, the date was on the 19th of April but I’ve been loathe to post anything mainly as I took some very nice pictures and I have a technical problem transfering from my camera to here?
But Abbey has moaned royally! So here we go!
Here’s to two fantasic years with Abbey!
She’s consistenly made me very happy in many wonderful and different ways ;) We’ve accomplished a lot- moved down south with my work, bought a house and we’re now spending loads of hard earned pennies improving it :jawdrop:
