[gentoo-user] /usr/share/doc/openrc/net.example not found

[Chris Stankevitz]

Hello,

The file

  /etc/conf.d/net

reports that I can seen an example format at this location:

  /usr/share/doc/openrc/net.example

On my machine that example file does not exist.  Did I do something
wrong or is this just a documentation oversight?

Thank you,

Chris

PS: I'm trying to find a way to prevent dhcpd from updating my ntp.conf

Try this:

ls /usr/share/doc/openrc-0.11.8/net.example.bz2

You may have to edit the version.  Tab completion may be of use on this
one.  It's how I found it. 

Hmmm, why is it compressed?

As dale found, it's under a compression suffix. In fact, most (all?) of
the stuff that goes under /usr/share/doc is compressed by default under
gentoo. This used to be gzip -5, and was then changed to bzip -9, and
you can change it to anything else, including no compression at all.

dhcpd? Don't you mean dchpcd (the c stands for *client*, dhcpd would be
the DHCP daemon granting leases to clients)?

If so, and if you don't mind using the same settings for all network
interfaces, have a look at /etc/dhcpcd.conf, which has an option "option
ntp_servers". I'd guess that disabling this would do what you want.

Actually, you can use /etc/conf.d/net to turn off receiving NTP 
configuration for just one interface, if you want. The `dhcp_IFACE` 
parameter takes several values, one of which is `nontp`, which will do 
exactly that. For example:

config_eth0="dhcp"
dhcp_eth0="nontp"

When you find the net.example file, you'll find that documented under 
GENERIC DHCP OPTIONS, about midway through the file.

What about software that refers to files in /usr/share/doc?  I can't
remember what program it was, but one I used a while back had a Help
menu item that tried to open a manual living there, but of course the
manual was compressed and under a different name and it couldn't be
found.  It's a minor inconvenience, but should files be left
uncompressed for cases like this?

Cheers,
Bryan

You can, at least with HTML documentation, have it linked to a consistent
location, see DOC_SYMLINKS_DIR in man make.conf.

See PORTAGE_COMPRESS and associated variables in the same man page.
