Asterisk 1.6 (in the Fedora repos) can receive and send faxes over audio and 
T.38. I'm not sure what hardware you have which may affect this completely.

Once Asterisk receives a fax, it just dumps it as a TIFF into a directory from 
where you can do whatever you want with it.

I'll give you the link to what I do, which is called Asterisk FAX Gateway 
which is for sending and receiving faxes via e-mail.

http://messinet.com/trac/asterisk-fax-gw

If all you do is receive, it would be really easy to do a "System" call from 
within Asterisk to simply mail the TIFF to the recipient.

Up until a few months ago, I had been using OpenLDAP successfully for several 
years with replication via syncrepl working perfectly between a master and two 
off-site slaves.  Then, I ran into an issue where OpenLDAP would use up all of 
the available file descriptors and lock up the system.  I had been researching 
389 DS over the past few years anyway and wanted to try it out -- so I did.

Both OpenLDAP and 389 DS are capable and will be able to achieve what you want 
without problems.

eGroupWare is a php-based CMS and doesn't really need packages.  I'm sure 
there are other CMS systems that would do just as well, but eGroupWare does 
allow you to have your accounts AND addressbook data in LDAP.  It also gives 
you SyncML, which enables you to sync calendars, addressbooks, etc. to things 
like BlackBerry, other phones.

I had created my own LDAP addressbook web frontend a few years ago and found 
that eGroupWare more than made up for its shortcomings. (I'm not trying to 
advertise eGW -- it's a little heavy in my opinion --but it works 
fantastically well with LDAP -- if there are alternatives, I'd like to hear 
about them too.)

I use eGroupWare via subversion: 
http://www.egroupware.org/wiki?wikipage=subversion

If you do decide to use eGW and you need SyncML, go with "trunk" instead of 
1.6 as the SyncML features are part of the main development and 1.6 only gets 
security backports (1.6 didn't work with my BlackBerry).

unfortunately, i did not file a bug report as i sent the original email to see 
if there was a larger scope to the problem (more people, etc.)  only you and 
one other person have responded as having the same issue.

i did notice, however, that the "too many open files" was not a problem with 
OpenLDAP on my remote i386 slave ldap machines, though they got hit much less 
than my x86_64 master did.

since i had previously been thinking of migrating to 389 Directory Server 
(FDS, RHDS) -- http://directory.fedoraproject.org, i just did the migration 
and said screw OpenLDAP.  i now run 389DS on 3 separate servers: 1 hub, and 
two slaves.  i'll eventually be moving towards multi-master replication.

there were some issues getting the right ACIs for 389DS as that was the only 
major problem in the migration (i use egroupware as a content management 
system).  i have some notes that may be helful on that here:

I'm not sure how KDE does is, but I get wall messages via the "KDE write

in my xinetd, my service file is "sane-port" not just "sane" 
(/etc/xinetd.d/sane-port)

not sure if you're using tcpwrappers or not, but you may need the following in 
/etc/hosts.allow

sane-port: 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0
saned: 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0

and in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, the "net" must be uncommented.

you may also need to expand your sane-port xinetd service definition.  mine 
looks like:

service sane-port
{
disable = no
port = 6566
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
group = nobody
server = /usr/sbin/saned
only_from = 192.168.2.0/24
bind = 192.168.2.3
flags = IPv4
}

it all works here.  -a

Not sure which video driver you use, or exactly what it is you are looking to 
do, but I use the following xorg.conf file with the nouveau driver.  This is 
based on the XRandR 1.2 capabilities and I do not need to use any special KDE 
configuration. (I have to have DPMS off on my VGA monitor or the backlight 
keeps going on and off when the system is not in use and I don't want to kill 
the monitor over time. You may not need this.  I have also disabled the 
Composite extension as the nouveau driver is crap for this.  You may also not 
need this.)

Fedora 11 slapd "too many open files": /lib64/libnspr4.so

[Anthony Messina]

I'm running into a problem with Fedora 11 and OpenLDAP's slapd instance (the 
same configuration that I've used for F8, F9, F10 and now F11).

After a day or two, of continuous usage, the slapd instance hangs with the 
"too many open files" issue.  I googled around a bit and found that some have 
fixed the problem by adding the following line to slapd.conf:

# Disconnect idle connections
idletimeout 60

This doesn't really seem to make a difference.  When I do "lsof -u ldap", I 
get the normal output of files in mem, followed by a ton of these:

...
...
slapd   19221 ldap   37r   REG  8,51235360  418680 /lib64/libnspr4.so   


slapd   19221 ldap   38r   REG  8,51235360  418680 /lib64/libnspr4.so   


slapd   19221 ldap   39r   REG  8,51235360  418680 /lib64/libnspr4.so   


slapd   19221 ldap   40r   REG  8,51235360  418680 /lib64/libnspr4.so
...
...

that never seem to go away, and lead to the "too many open files" issue.

Can anyone offer some assistance as to how to fix this issue?  Thank you in 
advance.  -Anthony

I use the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. As my monitors are not exactly the 
same size, note that you'd probably need to edit the "PreferredMode" Option.  
I included those modes explicitly as one of my monitors was defaulting to a 
crappier resolution that what it could handle.

This works for me in F10 and F11 with the open source nouveau driver.

my output is cloned since that is what i need for mythtv.  you don't have to

Forgot to attach my xrandr-switch.sh script, which is attached to a button on 
my MythTV remote:

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$(xrandr -q | grep -c '50.0\*')" == "1" ]; then
xrandr -r 51.0
nvidia-settings -a XVideoSyncToDisplay=256
else
xrandr -r 50.0
fi
exit 0

I use the TV out to drive a component projector (with the dongle) for my 
MythTV setup. For me, I either want the projector on (and the DFP off), or 
vice versa so I use XRandR to switch between them.  If you want both of them 
on at the same time, replace the NULL values in the metamodes option with the 
appropriate values.

no, you're right about that, but i was thinking about this yesterday too.  how 
does one use their linux laptop like some of the coporate folks use their 
windows laptops?  when they're at the office, they use the profile on the 
server; when they're away, they use the "roaming" copy of the profile.

does such a thing exist for us?  i got to thinking about some crazy rsync 
script that would run just before disconnecting and right after reconnecting 
to the "home" network, but that's a kludge.

anyone doing something like the linux road warrior?

you need to allow apache basic user perms to write to that directory, and you 
need the httpd_user_content_rw_t:s0 context set on the public_html directory.

i'm trying to kick the nvidia habit on  my desktops, so i'm using nouveau, but 
the simplest xorg.conf i have is:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen  0  "Screen0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier   "DVI-I-0"
Option   "LeftOf" "VGA-0"
Option   "PreferredMode" "1680x1050"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier   "VGA-0"
Option   "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier  "Device0"
Driver  "nouveau"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
Option  "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

And it works like a charm and givesme two separate workspaces in KDE.  -A

I use a "HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One" with tremendous results.  I have it 
hooked in via wireless LAN and share it to many Fedora and Windows 
workstations over the  network via saned.

if you use tcp wrappers, you may need to enable 127.0.0.1 with access to

perhaps abompard should know about this? btw, what's the difference between

unfortunately, it looks like the quanta migration isn't about to happen any 
time soon.  are there any other kde4 project management-like pieces of 
software that i could drop in for quanta in its absence in kde4?  i used to 
to use bluefish prior to quanta, but then i switched.

kdesvn-1.2.1 on F9 and Quanta

[Anthony Messina]

After upgrading to kdesvn-1.2.1 on F9, I noticed that the libkdesvnpart.la 
file is not part of the upgraded package, rendering the Quanta/kdesvn 
integration useless.

As this is a feature that I use frequently, is there a configuration change I 
need to make or another perhaps "compatibility" package I need to use to 
allow F9's Quanta to continue to use the kde svn features?

Thanks for the input.  -Anthony

[Anthony Messina]

Anyone know when http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ might be back in service?  
It's been 503 Unavailable for about 10 hours.
