On my FC7 system, ls -a yields 42 files of the form .serverauth.* where the wild card is a number. For example: .serverauth.3016 What are these? Are they evil? Thanks, Mike. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
F8 vs F9
I need to install a few new systems in the next few weeks. My requirements are: apache; C++ code development; netfilter; KDE; openvpn; and above all, stability.

A long time ago I worked for a very large company whose name you would recognize and for those who have worked there, whose name commands respect. I worked in assembly language on control systems whose failure could rapidly cost dollars counted in millions, and potentially be quite dangerous to human life. On their control systems, the only operating systems they allowed were long obsolete, and very well understood. The idea that perhaps one should upgrade to the latest system would be met with an incredulous stare. (I remember once entering my boss's office with the question: "Is anything interesting happening?". He responded: "God, I hope not!".) To the others respondents: Thanks for your helpful comments. I'll wait for more, especially on KDE and maybe openvpn. (But, then, my present web server has no GUI at all.)

Starting from a command line results in the dump below. Can anything be discerned from it? (I deleted the long memory map, which I will post if anyone thinks it would be useful.) I renamed the .pan directory as suggested, and pan then works. I guess if there is no better suggestion, I'll restore the .pan directory and start moving out files, starting with the latest modified (tomorrow at standard -0500).

The problem was solved by removing tasks.nzb . The software created a new one. The file is a 166 line XML file; a quick look did not show any problem, but I did not spend much time on it.

cifs WinXP problem
Sorry to trouble you with what may be a Microsoft problem. On my LAN, I replaced one of my Win2k boxes with a new WinXP box. I use cifs to connect with MS boxes from an FC7 box. Here is the main part of the start script in init.d : case $1 in start) mount -t cifs -o user=administrator% xxx,noauto,suid,dir_mode=0700,file_mode=0700 //abcd30/base /mnt/base30 mount -t cifs -o user=administrator% xxx,noauto,suid,dir_mode=0700,file_mode=0700 //abcd10/mike_local /mnt/ mike_local_10 abcd30 is a Win2k box. abcd10 is the new WinXP box; mike_local is a share name on a directory. abcd30 connects correctly; for abcd10 I get: # smb start mount error 5 = Input/output error Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) The man page says little of errors. I note that: ping works fine; the new box and its shared directory are visible from other Win boxes; the real passwords are the same on both boxes and have no inappropriate characters. I tried shutting down iptables and ZoneAlarm (with WAN disconnected, of course). Thanks for your help.

Googing around, I saw a suggestion to try putting the actual ip address in place of abcd10 . It solved the problem. This is most peculiar. It suggests /etc/hosts is not read. However, for the Win2k box, abcd30, hosts is read??? There is more to this than meets the eye. But it is working.

I always boot to level 3, and for all these tests,
logged on as root. (My initial experience with
computers long predates GUI's of any kind; I
consider them a necessary evil.) I tried your
ifconfig suggestion, and eth0 is just fine, (as
are the tap devices for openvpn). This is not a
surprise, since immediately after boot I can
restart ntpd and get a rapid sync. Of course, I
can't be sure the network is up during the boot when
ntpd tries to sync. It should be according to the
order of things. I suppose I could create a fake
demon file in init.d and run ifconfig during the
boot? What do you think?
I don't know what you mean by "older network startup
mechanism". Is this something I should try? In
case this is relevant, I do not start NetworkManager.
BTW:
[root]# fixfiles onboot
Usage: /sbin/fixfiles [-l logfile ] [-o outputfile ] { check | restore|[-
F] relabel } [[dir] ... ]
or
Usage: /sbin/fixfiles -R rpmpackage[,rpmpackage...] -C
PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT [-l logfile ] [-o outputfile ] { check | restore }
This may be because my FC7 is old. As suggested in
other posts, it may be time to upgrade. Still, it
would be interesting to figure out what the problems
is (if it could be done with only moderate effort).
Mike.

FC7: Kernel panic on boot

cout << "a = 0x" << setfill('0') << hex << noshowbase <<

results in:
a = 0x0x91a1218
Is there something I can do about this?

Slow Second Access to Internet
In my FC7, using Firefox, if for example, I access www.google.com, I get an essentially instantaneous response. If I then close the browser, reopen it, and again try to access google, there is a long delay, perhaps a minute before I get the response. (I note that my browser is set to delete all private on closing.) During this delay, the browser reports that it is looking up the URL. If I then wait a few minutes I can repeat the whole scenario. I suspect that something similar may be happening with my Pan news reader. Any suggestions?

The first few tries were very slow, but now it takes only a few seconds -- still, not as fast as Firefox. Repetition does not slow Konqueror, but them I don't know how to get it to delete its data. The most interesting finding is this. After having been away from the box for a few hours, I tried Konqueror a few times as described above. I then tried Firefox. It was instantaneous on the first try. On subsequent tries it was very slow, as previously described. In other words, it seems that the DNS queries of Konqueror do not interact with those of Firefox. FWIW, I also tried "dig www.google.com". Repeated digs all respond immediately. In summery, it appears at this time that the repeated DNS problem (if it is really that) is isolated to Firefox. Most peculiar. Thanks for your thoughts.

Firefox is now fine, and I may have also improved pan, but I'll have to wait for a weekday daytime (at -0500) to be sure, because at other times there is less of a problem.

Apache 443 already in use
I am trying to bring up an https server on my Fedora 7 (I know its old) which has been successfully running an http server for a long time. It complained that port 443 was already in use. On a whim, I commented out: #Listen 192.168.1.32:443 and to my surprise, it all appeared to work correctly. So maybe I shouldn't be surprised since when I tried to add the LoadModule line for mod_ssh it said it was already loaded. So what's happening? Thanks for your illumination.

httpd fails after boot
On my Fedora 7 (I know its old) I have been upgrading my httpd.config, including adding some Includes and RewriteCond(ENV:...). I just noticed that after a boot, the web server fails. This can be corrected with: /etc/init.d/httpd restart which returns OK on both the stop and start. I note also that on boot, starting httpd reports OK. The environment variable it uses is defined in /etc/bashrc . Thanks for your suggestions.

The head suggestion won't work, because in the above example, it is the second line I want. Failing a better suggestion, I'll just have to parse the output. Perhaps I will test each line with inet_aton until I get one that works. I was hoping to avoid that.

Can it be done more concisely? Still, one of the numbers might exceed 255 ... unlikely.
