First, let’s set up the hostname and start up the network. Let’s reboot to make sure ssh starts up and all looks good as well:
localhost / # nano /etc/hosts localhost / # nano /etc/conf.d/net 127.0.0.1 localhost srv-1 gateway="eth0/10.50.100.82" iface_eth0="10.50.100.49 broadcast 10.50.100.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" localhost / # rc-update add net.eth0 default * net.eth0 added to runlevel default * Caching service dependencies... * rc-update complete. localhost / # localhost root # rc-update add sshd default * sshd added to runlevel default * Caching service dependencies... * rc-update complete. localhost root # localhost / # reboot Broadcast message from root (tts/0) (Fri Dec 31 14:27:04 2004): The system is going down for reboot NOW!

Network looks good, and the host name is fine. The next most important tool for us is vi (Vim):
srv-1 root # emerge vim Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 3) dev-util/ctags-5.5.4 to / >>> Downloading http://gentoo.osuosl.org/distfiles/ctags-5.5.4.tar.gz --14:30:58-- http://gentoo.osuosl.org/distfiles/ctags-5.5.4.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/ctags-5.5.4.tar.gz' Resolving gentoo.osuosl.org... 140.211.166.134 Connecting to gentoo.osuosl.org[140.211.166.134]:80... connected.

Hrmphh…. It appears that we can’t compile this via the serial console. Let’s try an ssh session (and investigate this more when we are really, really bored):
usr-1@mach-1 usr-1 $ ssh root@srv-1 Last login: Fri Dec 31 14:29:27 2004 srv-1 root # srv-1 root # emerge vim >>> /usr/bin/ex -> vim >>> /usr/bin/view -> vim >>> /usr/bin/rview -> vim * Updating documentation tags in /usr/share/vim/vim63 * * gvim has now a seperate ebuild, 'emerge gvim' will install gvim * * To see what's new in this release, use :help version6.txt * >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... * Caching service dependencies... >>> app-editors/vim-6.3-r1 merged. >>> Recording app-editors/vim in "world" favorites file... >>> clean: No packages selected for removal. >>> Auto-cleaning packages ... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. srv-1 root # |
That works. Now let’s install system logging and cron:
srv-1 root # emerge syslog-ng Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 2) dev-libs/libol-0.3.14 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) libol-0.3.14.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking libol-0.3.14.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/libol-0.3.14/work >>> Source unpacked. ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=sparc-unknown-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedi r=/var/lib . . . --- /etc/init.d/ >>> /etc/init.d/syslog-ng >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... * Caching service dependencies... >>> app-admin/syslog-ng-1.6.5-r1 merged. >>> Recording app-admin/syslog-ng in "world" favorites file... >>> clean: No packages selected for removal. >>> Auto-cleaning packages ... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. srv-1 root # rc-update add syslog-ng default * syslog-ng added to runlevel default * Caching service dependencies... * rc-update complete. srv-1 root a root # emerge vixie-cron Calculating dependencies . . . >>> /etc/init.d/vixie-cron >>> /etc/crontab >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... * Caching service dependencies... >>> sys-apps/vixie-cron-3.0.1-r4 merged. >>> Recording sys-apps/vixie-cron in "world" favorites file... >>> clean: No packages selected for removal. >>> Auto-cleaning packages ... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. srv-1 root # srv-1 root # rc-update add vixie-cron default * vixie-cron added to runlevel default * Caching service dependencies... * rc-update complete. srv-1 root # srv-1 root # ps -ef UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 1 0 13 15:20 ? 00:00:09 init [3] root 2 1 0 15:20 ? 00:00:00 [keventd] root 3 1 0 15:20 ? 00:00:00 [ksoftirqd_CPU0] root 4 1 0 15:20 ? 00:00:00 [ksoftirqd_CPU1] root 5 1 0 15:20 ? 00:00:00 [kswapd] root 6 1 0 15:20 ? 00:00:00 [bdflush] root 7 1 0 15:20 ? 00:00:00 [kupdated] root 9 1 1 15:20 ? 00:00:00 [khubd] root 10 1 0 15:20 ? 00:00:00 [kjournald] root 147 1 0 15:20 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/devfsd /dev root 922 1 0 15:21 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/syslog-ng root 1149 1 0 15:21 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd root 1190 1 0 15:21 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cron root 1205 1 0 15:21 tts/0 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100 root 1206 1149 1 15:21 ? 00:00:00 sshd: root@pts/0 root 1209 1206 0 15:21 pts/0 00:00:00 -bash root 1213 1209 0 15:21 pts/0 00:00:00 ps -ef srv-1 root # crontab -l no crontab for root srv-1 root # |
We have a complete system.
