After installing Orion, I am told I can start/stop it as follows: * STARTING AND STOPPING ORION: * /etc/init.d/orion start * /etc/init.d/orion stop * /etc/init.d/orion restart So I try that (ignore the message about syslog-ng): # /etc/init.d/orion start * Caching service dependencies ... * Service 'sysklogd' already provided by 'logger'!; * Not adding service 'syslog-ng'... [ ok ] * Starting orion ... /opt/orion/sbin/start_orion.sh: line 4: /etc/conf.d/orion: Permission denied /opt/orion/sbin/start_orion.sh: line 10: /bin/java: No such file or directory [ ok ] Three problems: 1. Permission denied on /etc/conf.d/orion 2. No such file or directory for /bin/java 3.

Wrt to the first "error" - remove all but one logger from runlevels.
env-update && source /etc/profile then try
I think the problem is the permissons on /etc/conf.d/orion. After a fresh "emerge orion" the created orion user will not have read access to the configuration file, thus "Permission denied". A "chmod 644 /etc/conf.d/orion" did the trick for me (the file will now have the same permission as the rest of the files in the /etc/conf.d/ directory).
I masked orion for removal
moved to junkyard
