Hi All,
Would you know if krdc can work in listening mode (like the traditional
vncviewer can?).
If krdc won't cut it, then should I emerge vnc or tightvnc? Which is better?
I'm only interested on the viewer part to connect to a remote WinXP machine
which is seating behind a firewall.

Thanks for the input, I have successfully resolved the pam-login issue,
I have to adjusted all the /etc/pam.d entry to remove the pam_stack
entry and update them with " include system-auth".
I just removed the dhcpcd-2.0.0 since it is not part of the system tree
anymore.
I am still working

Emerge recommends that you run 'etc-update' and 'revdep-rebuild' after
updating.

At the end of an emerge process I saw two
recommendations: etc-update and ?-update. The exact
name escapes me and I can't find it in the logs. It
seems pretty significant with 100+ updates pending. Do
you recall the full name?

I'm trying to print from my remote server to my local printer. It's
working great via CUPS, but I've been warned that this is not a good
idea and that I should be using Net::Printer instead. Net::Printer
docs say:
Net::Printer, by itself, does not speak to printers running the CUPS
protocol. In

you are lost as portage does not work without python. You have to do
something like this to get around it.
