The default beep does not beep when compiled on a NSLU2. I don't know if this would affect the other architectures, but patching it with the patch from SlugOS fixes the problem. I'll append the patch and an updated ebuild that also does a symlink from /bin/beep to /usr/bin/beep so that the leds script from SlugOS can also beep. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge beep on ann NSLU2 Actual Results: # beep --> silence Expected Results: a beep :-)

I think this patch is included in beep-1.3 now in CVS.
