NetworkManager pptp vpn and routes?
I have a laptop running F11 fully up to date, and have NetworkManager-pptp and pptp installed. In F10 I had the same setup running and I had set up a vpn connection (pptp) to work with the default route to my home LAN retained whilst the additional route to machines on the remote work LAN via the vpn was also active. In F11 I can set up the vpn connection using a vpn defined in NetworkManager tabs. However I cannot get the route behaviour correct. Can someone point me to the steps needed in the vpn set up tabs to get the behaviour I had previously in F10 with retaining the default route and simultaneously having a route to remote machines via the vpn?

I've noticed that when I do yum updates, that it tends to select local ones more likely than further away ones. I'm receiving an Australianised mirror list, and it *usually* serves me fine, but not always. Perhaps, you get supplied with a less than optimal set of mirrors, and you want to hand select one or more good ones, and stick to just them.

"make oldconfig" of current kernel config for x64_64 f11?
for the sake of experimentation, i want to build a kernel for my x86_64 version of f11 using the current /boot/config file and the current "git pull" of the kernel source tree. anyone know any reason why that might be a hideously bad idea? obviously, i'll keep the working version around, but i was just wondering if anyone had tried this and run into any show-stopper issues. thanks. rday -- Robert P.

Rant: Clamav is not well-integrated
I've just spent a frustrating two hours trying to get clamav installed and running. Ultimately I turned if off again to get mail flowing. First, there are too many different packages required to get the system working: clamav-milter, clamav-scanner, freshclam, etc There should be an easy to install package that gets everything. Second: The integration into the user system is messy, two usernames and multiple groups and conflicting permissions are in use. Third: It takes manual intervention to get sendmail.mc correctly formed and clamav integrated. I understand that this is necessarily a manual process, but there is essentially no documentation of what should be done in a recipe. Fourth: Clamav-milter is different from clamd and there is no initscript support for clamd (the scanner daemon) which should be controlled by the clamav-milter initscript. Fifth: Freshclam (the updater) should be better integrated. It takes a separate install and configuration (manual) step, and then it complains that the version is already out-of-date! Sixth: I really appreciate the work that the package maintainer has done, but the integration and logic are much less than clear and clean. Thanks for listening.

F10, AthlonXP 2500+, recently updated...System freeze?
This may be coincidence, or maybe not... After the last round of updates to F10 on my AthlonXP 2500+ system, a couple/few weeks ago, my system has been freezing. I get nothing in my logs, I see nothing in the way of the normal kernel debug output that often spews out to the screen...the system just completely freezes. I've tried in runlevel 5 (where I normally run, as I use this system as my desktop) and in runlevel 3. I seem to recall a thread, recently, where some laptop users were noting that they were noting increased heat and their fans running more often, after some recent updates (and specifically noted that they were not having this issue when dual booting into Windows)...has anyone else noted similar issues on desktop type systems? While I realize that there are risks to using "bleeding edge" operating systems, I've been a Red Hat user since 4.2, and a Fedora user since FC1, and not having my desktop system usable is causing me great distress, at this point.

Re: Rant: Clamav is not well-integrated

First, there are too many different packages required to get the system working: clamav-milter, clamav-scanner, freshclam, etc There should be an easy to install package that gets everything. Second: The integration into the user system is messy, two usernames and multiple groups and conflicting permissions are in use. Third: It takes manual intervention to get sendmail.mc correctly formed and clamav integrated. I understand that this is necessarily a manual process, but there is essentially no documentation of what should be done in a recipe. Fourth: Clamav-milter is different from clamd and there is no initscript support for clamd (the scanner daemon) which should be controlled by the clamav-milter initscript. Fifth: Freshclam (the updater) should be better integrated. It takes a separate install and configuration (manual) step, and then it complains that the version is already out-of-date! Sixth: I really appreciate the work that the package maintainer has done, but the integration and logic are much less than clear and clean. Thanks for listening.

simple LDAP for address book?
Every once and I while I take a look at trying to setup an LDAP server on my system for keeping address book info (so I can access it remotely as I already do with my dovecot IMAP server). Every time I start looking at it, I find way too much information about enterprise class directory servers and sql back ends and user authentication, etc. Anyone know of a simple howto somewhere on the net for setting up LDAP just to use for a personal address book?

When I got up this morning I discovered a message that I've never seen before on all of the open gnome terminals on my desktop: message from syslogd: disabling IRQ #16 I checked /var/log/messages for further information and all that I found was this: Jul 13 04:53:01 mutt kernel: irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Everything seemed to still be working, but I just rebooted this computer as a kind of a precaution.

An excellent question! I run a local mailing list here in the sleepy town of Framingham MA. Long ago (before I was sued in Federal Court for conspiracy to create an atmosphere of discrimination against the handicapped) I decided that people should sign their names to their posts. You don't have to use pgp but you have to sign your name. People who have anonymity tend to speak differently than if their real name is involved. In engineering circles it's less of a problem, because people tend to be more civil than in discussions involving personal and emotional content. But there's overlap. What I say here may be seen by people in other circles. If everyone I know sees that I pgp sign and then they see that there's a message that's not signed then they'll be righteously suspicious as to whether this really is Steven W. Orr, even if they don't have the software to vcrify. So now you know why I sign. A better question is not why you don't sign here, but why you don't sign at all.

I got email client freedom for the mail itself when I setup dovecot, since all clients can talk IMAP, I'm just trying to get client freedom for the address book as well, so don't want to be tied to thunderbird or any specific similar solution. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Re: simple LDAP for address book?
I've had luck setting up the OpenLDAP server (sibling of Fedora Directory Server) and getting Thunderbird to read names out of it, though I never tried writing back to it, or working with a single address book versus one global address book. It's a bit difficult at first because you have to understand that LDAP uses a tree structure, so e.g. if you wanted to have per-account address books in LDAP, you would need to configure each client's base DN appropriately, e.g. ou=AddressBook,ou=UserName,ou=People,dc=server,dc=com, or however you decide to organize it. That string path is a tree map, with each proceeding entry acting as a sibling to the one that comes next. The idea is kind of like DNS, e.g. 'com' is the master of 'server', which is the master of 'People', which has a 'UserName', who has a subtree 'AddressBook'. OpenLDAP's /etc/ config file lets you specify different usernames and passwords to access different parts of the tree. I'm sure if you decide one day to use LDAP for single sign-on, you can use those credentials as the address book credentials too. It is a bit difficult but I wouldn't say it's overkill any more so than IMAP is overkill compared to local mail delivery, and it's definitely the open standards way to do networked address books, imo.

He did a nice job of it. Please don't forget that the history of crypto is quite bloody. Lots of people have died for this stuff. Mary Queen of Scots lost her head because of lousy crypto. Galous was murdered by his math professors over it. Alan Turing committed suicide in part because his government would not help him when he was charged with homosexuality, even though he should have gotten most of the credit for cracking the Enigma machine. And Phil Zimmerman (2 m's and 1 n please) gets credit for putting it all together so it's simple for the common man to use, but he spent two years being prosecuted by the Feds until someone posted the code to Usenet. So if you want to read Applied Crypto by Schneier then you'll see that it's not impossible to read, but the books and docs that target Joe Q.

I was using signature and pgp public key interchangeably. Shame on me. Steve, when I click on your signature, I can extract your public DSA public key, F0BE3724, see that it is verified, because you registered it with the pgp servers (Thank you for registering!), but untrusted by me, and if I wish to take further steps, I could trust what you sign.

G does not write often but does so when he does think that it is worth offering a usefull contribution to a problem at hand. For some to try and to tar him with the association/way of doing things such as Karl definitely is in error. He is far more knowledgeable about Unix and Linux than Karl and has show this in his emails. He does not write as Karl has done to complain of many issues based on incomplete understanding of Linux and specifically of Fedora. Normally I only see G's responses when he is offering useful information to some question at hand. I am not sure I have ever seen him complain except in response to an email (perhaps unreasonably) attacking him on some question. He does have the support of Ann Wilson (a message long ago) and she is one that is close to the top of my list of "respected" posters to this group. David, I do understand the basis of your complaint regarding delays caused by usage of GPG public keys which are not registered which leads to very lengthy delays, and I also can see from G's response his reasoning for his current way of sending emails to this list using a GPG signature (key offered on request (manual)). I would be very sorry to not have the privelage of G's advice on this list as it always has been usefull and concise Hopefully we can all be more open minded on this question.

Exactly. Don't you just love the English language with all of its ambiguities? We smell, which can imply that we are receptors of quantum bad smelling particles called fartons, or we can be emitters of said particles. Context counts. In the wild and wooly world of PGP, Trust is not about whether I trust you with my money. Trust is only about whether I trust that your key actually belongs to you. If you're not in the vicinity of Framingham MA then it's not likely that we will be able to show each other two pieces of government issued picture ID, but if you know someone who is in the area and have mutually signed each others' keys then he and I could sign keys and then you could update your copy of my public key and see that I trust him and you trust him so you can trust me. - -- Time flies like the wind.

He was asked to either publish his public key, or stop signing his messages to the list. A reasonable request if he wants to be part of the com unity. He could even have posted an ASCII armored copy of his public key to the list. But he demanded that we send him an email asking for his key. This is being polite? Get real... But I guess asking anyone to be a good list member is not acceptable on this list any more. If you point out the list guidelines and ask that people follow them, you are labeled a NET NAZI. Politeness is sadly lacking from some members. It has the net affect of driving people away, or turning some of the more knowable people into lurkers. (jdow, for example.)

G is blacklisted by a few people now because of his lack of respect or understanding of how email works in general and PGP in particular. You have the option of not blacklisting his address. Sometimes people do things on the net that are considered to be minor violations of social protocols. This is all a part of being civilized. Posting html, top posting, not reducing quoted text, these are all examples of how people can get legitimately irritated. Other examples include things like having Subject lines that say "Help" or "Hi" when they're trying to get assistance with a video card that's not talking well with F11. But what G did was much worse. He insisted on putting a little bomb in his mail that causes a number of us to just plain hang for periods that are measured in minutes, not just once, but for every message that he sends and for every time that we try to read it. Having a lack of respect for other people's time is way high up on my list of things that make me go out of my way to resort to blacklisting. I'm pretty knowledgeable in a number of areas too, and I would expect that when I make a social gaff like that, that people would let me know so I could correct it. Instead, G explained why he is *not* going to publish his public key. If his key is published and someone else informs us of that happy event then I'd be happy to unblacklist him. Till then, it doesn't matter how smart, rich, handsome, famous or whatever else is marvelous about him. My time is more important. - -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.

So, I need to set up a shareable address book between the accounts with only one administrator of those lists. This seemed to be the logical answer to this problem.

Sorry - I just picked up on this thread. In fact, Webstart packages on F11 x64 ARE INDEED supposed to work. I have been dealing with this very issue. The problem is there is a bug in the current version of OpenJDK. It's fixed in an upcoming update. If you want it now, the packages can be had from: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-24.b16.fc11 The corresponding Bugzilla is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507870 I can vaouch that my F11 x64 system with these updated patches runs my Elluminate Live sessions famously.

While I am fairly sure I wouldn't make the mistake of uploading his key, I can see it happening. Because I do not have his public key, at least I can not be blamed for doing it. As far as uploading a fake key, will interesting to contemplate, I wouldn't actually do it. I am just a bit more responsible that that. Though I am starting to wounder why I adhere to proper net etiquette. It seams like fewer people are following it, and if you point out proper net etiquette, you get branded a LIST NAZI or TOP POSTING NAZI. I guess it is a crime to ask others to be polite and follow community guidelines. My post was half serious, half joking. Kind of a hint about where throwing out net etiquette can lead. After all, if all of us decided that net etiquette didn't apply to us, then behavior I posted would be just as acceptable as G's.

Whether it works or not is not the issue. The issue is "what does it work for?", i.e. "what is the appropriate use?". Needham and Schroeder famously said that anyone who thinks his problem will be solved by cryptography hasn't understood his problem, and hasn't understood cryptography. As with most aphorisms you can debate the details, but there is a grain of truth in it. What one needs to ask oneself is "what is the problem I'm trying to solve with this?". My point is that issues of identity theft or repudiation in mailing lists like this one have thus far had no practical relevance. I asked before if anyone could point to a specific case on this list. I still don't have an answer (you said you had one but it was stopped by list management, i.e. the use of signatures simply didn't arise). IOW my view is that signatures *on mailing lists such as this one* are essentially a waste of time. Signatures on personal and highly sensitive messages is a completely different issue, but in that case you'll find you invariably want to use encryption as well as signing. poc PS BTW, an excellent layman's history of crypto is Simon Singh's "The Codebook". -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

It was permissions, but not selinux. For a raw-disk machine, user needs to be in group disk. Apparently, with F11, they finally made /dev/sda* group writable again, so sysadmin doesn't need to do it.

Yup, my Athlon 2500+ is also doing the same thing. Five lockups now since release. I'm not sure if it is a kernel bug or the bad powersave stuff or the bad xorg ati radeon package.

I thinkyou can rule out the ATI radeon package...I'm running the Xorg nvidia package...but I also had the issue when running in runlevel 3 (multiuser text mode)...and this is with F10...so if you do back out, I'd recommend not necessarily updating. I also don't think it's necessarily a kernel bug, as I've reverted to the oldest kernel I have installed on the system, and the same thing happens.

Could that be causing the problem? not from this snippet, the illegal request implies media/drive issue. what happens if you try a different media in your drive? maybe a media you have successfully mounted before? if it were selinux, i think you'd see an error in /var/log/secure or the setroubleshooting app. see how it chokes on block errors? any chance there is dirt or a smudge on the media over those tracks? -- jack craig ja...@linuxlighthouse.com 831-684-1375 (Office) 831-596-6924 (cell) IM: jackcraigaptos (AIM) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

3 finger salute gone in F11
Hi; the other day I needed to kill X. Much to my surprise ctl-alt-backspace did not work. When and why did this happen? How do I get it back? thanks Mick M. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
