Possibly nothing.  Check the ownership and permissions of your home
directory.  "username") should own it and have rwx permissions:

[rick@prophead ~]$ ls -ld ~rick
drwx-- 102 rick rick 12288 Oct 10 18:30 /home/rick

If not, as root, change the permissions and delete the
~username/.ICEauthority file:

sudo chown username ~/username
sudo chmod u+rwx ~/username
sudo rm -f ~/username/.ICEauthority

Then log out.  When you log in again as username, the file should be
recreated.  This has been reported on Ubuntu and several other distros
and whatever caused it may have crept into Fedora somehow.

It appears to be something from an upstream package that Fedora also
uses.

The problem is not solved but if I disable debugging, the terminal is
not "flooded" and application finish without blocking.

tcpproxyreflector does exactly what you want. Install it on the 3
computers and run it :

- as a server at home, to get connection from the the client and console
- as the client at work, to open and keep the the connection open with home
- as a console on your laptop at the hotel to activate a tunnel and
connect through SSH or directly on port  "3389" to another computer
inside the company.

Re: double update : i686 & x86_64

[Errol Mangwiro]

Yup. Wine does that that's why I'm now sticking with qemu-kvm & vbox for my 
virtualisation/emulation needs. I hate having 32-bit dependencies in my 64-bit 
installation. I'd rather do without that program (which explains the skype-less 
& adobe flashless, until now, machine). And the size of your 
installation/dependencies just balloons once you start down the 32/64-bit road.

In my case, running "yum erase orc.i686" just to see what it wants to remove
shows that wine pulled it in.

Even a muted microphone would still appear as a choosable device under
their preferences.

I'd be looking at the output from dmesg before and after plugging in the
headset, to see what the system notices being plugged in.  Probably,
some unknown hardware will be detected, showing just a product code
number, rather than the name of something that it knows how to deal
with.  Post that, here.

There are many companies that would frown upon doing what you are
proposing.  I would suggest that you talk to your network/firewall admin and
see if they will make an allowance for you.

Remote access

[KC8LDO]

Is there a way to use ssh to get through a firewall for remote access to a 
system? The situation I'm looking at is a Fedora system sitting behind a 
company firewall, which I have no control over, that I wish to gain access 
to by logging into it over the Internet from a remote computer. In other 
words the connection is initiated from outside of the firewalled company 
network.

What I'm thinking is using ssh to forward a port, 3389, to another computer 
on my own private network (also behind a firewall and NAT router) at home 
acting as a middle man. Then from another computer, lets say at a hotel, 
logging in to the same computer on my private home network and have it pass 
traffic bidirectionaly between the two end point computers.

Is this something than can be done using ssh and if so how? I would also 
like to have the remote Fedora system connection to the middle man computer 
remain even if the remote computer is not connected.

Leland C. Scott

Bulk installing using a line media

[Danishka Navin]

Hi,

Next week I weill attend a workshop and I have to install more than 80
systems in a training college.
I have Live image of F14 based remix.

I was trying to configure cobbler on my F14 box but i wasn't worked.
I followed following link but it gave

httpd does not appear to be running and proxying cobbler

but both httpd and cobblerd are running

and then I disabled SElinux on my system but same result appears.

[root@localhost danishka]# cobbler check
httpd does not appear to be running and proxying cobbler

I've looked through the fldigi site a couple of times since
receiving your message and have never been able to understand
what it is they've created? Perhaps you can 'splain it to me in
terms I can understand. There's plenty of information on how to
install, etc. but nothing telling me what it is.

Right now I have psk31lx running in the receive mode it was easy
to install and it works well. Transmit is awaiting delivery of
some parts.

Thanks,

yum clean all clears all the information for all enabled repos.

Re: Results of the voting for the Fedora 17 release name

[Roger]

The Fedora 16 release name is: Beefy Miracle


Curious.
To me Fedora is neither beefy  nor a miracle.
Fedora renditions - here today gone tomorrow, life span of a moth 
dancing round a flame, a year passes and we update or suffer. At least 
that, to me, is the perceived threat.

What is beefy about that? Beefy to me means tasty, of substance, 
fulfilling, delicious. Not, as the image implies,  full of fat, gristle 
and bone flavoured with condiment and stuffed in an over aerated bread roll.

None of these are Fedora why? because Fedora is "Bleeding Edge" full of 
bugs and problems for the unwary and just when one has it working a 
treat, it's gone, like a will-o-wisp.

Miracle, I'd say not. Just a much better operating system which takes 
into account the lightening fast changes in technology. Fedora is out 
there on the edge, leading the way, it is the light at the end of the 
tunnel, the shining beacon to a better way.

  Personally I would have preferred names that signify leadership, 
quality, rapid development and resolution.

Having said that though, a beefy miracle in a roll is out of the 
digestive system in 24 hours as waste matter, flushed away without a 
thought. Is this an image for Fedora?
FWIW
Roger

Yes, well, I cannot actually argue much about that, John and others do ave a 
point --- the artwork for "Verne" is finished, and it is a bit too late to redo 
everything in time for F16 release, even if they did have good ideas about the 
artwork related to Ritchie.

I just don't quite understand how exactly is the F16 release going to be 
dedicated to Ritchie. Maybe a banner on the website or something... ;-)

Best, :-)

Thanks a lot. From the discussion in the thread I see that we
overlooked the little bit about the artwork. :-p John's suggestion[1]
is probably more practical (given the artwork issue) and an acceptable
compromise.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to take it up with the board.

You could have rephrased your question (above) where you wrote
"Have we ever explained names like Tettnang or Zod?".

I don't care whether any other city in DE-BW or DE would have met the
requirements in the same way. It doesn't interest me _why_ Tettnang had
been proposed or _why_ Krosno and Uzhgorod had been the other choices
besides Heidelberg. If it's a fun game for some people to enter the
"competition" with a personal favourite release name that meets the
requirements, I tolerate that.

When the release name process opened up, voters could learn about _what_ a
name is, what it refers to, and the connections (if disclosed in the Wiki).  
Later users of a Fedora release would also start with figuring out what a
name refers to and then possibly ask why it had been chosen. They would
look up "Heidelberg" and draw their own conclusions. What would you tell
them if they asked why the dist was named after a city? Would you point
them at the guidelines or mention that the _real why_ is a secret?

The rules are public and official. A person's self-motivation isn't --
when entering the release name voting process with a personal favourite
name, which may meet the requirements but have some secret rationale.

And still you cannot avoid that users will find the story "childish" or
"silly". If they did, I would tolerate that.

Anyway, I don't think I want to hear the full story. Fragments of it
didn't sound too exciting. I do remember the pictures Anaconda displayed
during installation, such as the various hot-dog e.g. dancing "Limbo",
but why to continue there many years later, uhm... ;-)

My friends Dave Johnson and Bob Polaro were two of Atari's first seven
video game coders.

 If I remember correctly the Atari 2600 had a 6502 eight-bit
microprocessor.  They didn't even bother with compilers; one couldn't
get anywhere with those games without using tightly hand-rolled
assembler.

There was a single eight bit "frame buffer" in which the graphics were
rendered by rapidly varying the value in that byte in synchronization
with the electron beam sweeping across the TV screen.

The actual game processing would take place in many very small chunks
during the horizontal blanking intervals, during which the dimmed beam
would be swept back to the other side for the next line, or in fewer
longer chunks during the vertical blanking interval.

The coders had a choice of 1 KB ROM cartridges or 2 KB.  One could get
richer, more complex graphics and gameplay into 2 KB, but because the
ROMs were so expensive to manufacture, the per-unit royalty that the
coders earned was twice as much for the 1 KB cartridges!

Dave told me once that it happened all the time that a game would go
over 1024 bytes by just a few bytes, but that any changes that made
the code fit in the smaller cartridge would screw up the timing for
the graphics.

The result of that was that the coders would often go insane in the
middle of their coding projects.

I don't recall what game Dave wrote to make his fortune, but he
invested it first in Greene, Johnson Inc., then after buying out MIke
Greene, founded Working Software, where he gave me my first retail
coding job, writing Mac software.

CoreEdit, the word processing engine of our QuickLetter specialized
word processor, was also written in tightly hand-optimized assembly,
but for the 68000.  It was also the text engine for Apple's MacWrite.
The people who wrote CoreEdit must have done some really hard drugs,
but on the other hand I learned quite a lot about software
architecture by reading its source.

Bob made his fortune on Defender for the Atari, and is still in the
video game business.  He operates a mail order business on the side,
where you can buy games directly from him:

http://www.polaro.com/

These days though his games aren't in assembly, but in Java, Javascript and C++.

I never knew his name, but Atari's wealthiest coder was the nineteen
year old kid who wrote Pac-Man.

I understand he blew his million dollar royalty check up his nose.

Ever Faithful,

Don Quixote

Any USB-connected parallel port devices in use?

[Geoffrey Leach]

My parallel-port printer is connected via a Belikin parallel-port-to-
USB connector.  Worked fine in F14, completely broken in F15. Bugzilla 
discussion (742398) places the blame on the driver (uss720) for those 
converters, and there the problem sits.

I'm curious if there's anyone out there that has a similar setup, and 
what your experience might be.

Guaranteed.  Worked at Nat Semi back in the mid 70s and a state of the 
art, 1 bit by 1 k, static, 1 uSec response time, cost 2 bucks.

An old copy of Byte from August, 1980 show an ad for 64KB RAM MEMORIES 
at the low price of only $750.00.  The same issue talks about how 
different groups tried to minimalize object code sizes, and the 
differences they were scrabbling over were measured in bytes.

OK, I already have the main if not only apps that I used to use 
Wine for (topo map software for GPSs), installed and running better under 
XP in VirtualBox. And I can get along fine without skype and adobe.

But I do have a lot of data, especially waypoints, routes, and

scrub first Wine and then other 32-bit things?

IIRC, Unix was first designed to run on machines with very limited

My copy is, alas, long gone, but I got it in either '84 or '85.  I was 
working at JPL at the time, assisting a blind programmer who was busy 
doing pointer arithmetic in FORTRAN77[1].  He's the only person I ever 
knew who could write PL/1 programs in FORTRAN instead of the other way 
around.

The stack traces you provided give us some clues.  I would suggest 
lowering nsslapd-threadnumber in cn=config to see if that makes a 
difference - one factor could be excessive thread contention based on 
your stack traces.

You can use the logconv.pl script to analyze your access log to see if 
you need to tune your indexes or other performance related settings such 
as nsslapd-lookthroughlimit or nsslapd-idlistscanlimit.

Hi kid ;D

The copy on my shelf is 1978.

My first intro to the Unix world was a Bell Labs blue book that 
described its conception and how it was written in B.  K & R came up 
with C, wrote a compiler for it in B, and used the whole shebang to 
recompile Unix from the world of B into the world of C.  Geniuses.

It is happening because of one of two things. Either the
krb5-auth-dialog is broken and isn't recognizing that krb5_cc for the
user doesn't exist, and that it shouldn't complain, OR it isn't started
with -a (that is LOWERCASE -a) which will cause it to not start if you
have no valid credentials.

It appears that whoever set it up in Fedora15/16 (I just upgraded from
14) has it as -A and not -a. I use kerberos so, it really doesn't affect
me. You may want to file a bug.

Re: Dennis Ritchie

[Don Quixote de la Mancha]

I'm pretty sure I still have mywafer-thin first-edition "The C
Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchey that I bought from the
Caltech bookstore in the Spring of 1983, for use in Computational
Physics.

I had some trouble at first with C's lack of a Boolean type.  The
result is that I still have Line 7 of Page 41 memorized verbatim - as
well as the advice's precise page and line numbers:

   "True just means non-zero."

I'm pretty sure the much weightier second edition, which covered ANSI
C, contains the exact same statement.

Kids These Days.  You simply have not lived until you have written
"K&R C" - as opposed to "ANSI C".  That is C without prototypes;
you're lucky if you get a forward reference.

The following is perfectly legal K&R C:

#include 

main()
int argc;
char **argv;
{
   printf( "Hello, World!\n" );

   return 0;
}

There was a period of a couple years of my early career where a
significant portion of my work was going through huge codebases to add
ANSI C prototypes and to declare ints explicitly rather than having
them just assumed where such assumptions were legal.

Dennis Ritchey may be a diety but he is not quite a God.  God Almighty
would have had function prototypes from the very start.

Ever Faithful,

Don Quixote

f16 beta: kerberos credentials expired

[Ian Malone]

Hi,

F16 beta, whenever I log in, tells me "Network credentials have
expired" or, as the message puts it, "Your Kerberos credentails have
expired." (sic). I didn't know I had any up to this point. Choosing
list tickets in the notification shows I don't have any tickets,
choosing get ticket brings up an error message saying "Kerberos
Authentication Error" and "Couldn't acquire kerberos ticket: Cannot
resolve network address for KDC in realm "EXAMPLE.COM"'."

Does anyone know why this might happen?

Thanks

Re: [389-users] 389 pauses every 5 minutes under load

[Justin Gronfur]

Well, I figured it out!

After removing the Java stack completely from the equation, I noticed 
that I was getting worse, but more consistent performance.  The worse 
performance indicated something to do with caching, so after I dug into 
the Java code for a while I found that we were caching certain object 
classes (therefore making them not need to be rebuilt from ldap).  The 
timeout on that cache was 5 minutes.

So during load testing, the tests run great until everything in that 
cache expires at once making all 15 threads hit 389 to rebuild the cache 
entries at the exact same time.  My data sample used for testing 
involved about 150 objects being cached, which takes 150 queries to 
generate.  So when the cache expires, 15*150=2250 queries hit 389 at the 
exact same time which causes it to seemingly lock up for 20 seconds 
while it handles all of that.

I am still surprised that 389 can't handle that better, but I haven't 
spent much time tweaking settings or indexes for performance.  I'm sure 
that we are running very sub-optimally right now.

Thanks,
Justin

Possibly nothing.  Check the ownership and permissions of your home
directory.  "username") should own it and have rwx permissions:

[rick@prophead ~]$ ls -ld ~rick
drwx-- 102 rick rick 12288 Oct 10 18:30 /home/rick

If not, as root, change the permissions and delete the
~username/.ICEauthority file:

sudo chown username ~/username
sudo chmod u+rwx ~/username
sudo rm -f ~/username/.ICEauthority

Then log out.  When you log in again as username, the file should be
recreated.  This has been reported on Ubuntu and several other distros
and whatever caused it may have crept into Fedora somehow.

It appears to be something from an upstream package that Fedora also
uses.

Permissions problem? (check the uid/gid for the current account and
the uid/gid for the home directory)

SELinux labelling issue? (try restorecon ...)

These are just two possibilities of the top of the head, there could
be more obscure issues too.

Maybe check sound configuration and maybe mic is muted or needs to be

F15, Intel, External display(s) only - anyone?

[Chris Bredesen]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=715113

I'm trying to determine if this combination is viable:

* Lenovo T520 with Sandy Bridge GPU
* Fedora 15 (or 16) 32-bit
* External display as only display

Is this working for anyone?  I'm considering tagging this BZ for 
inclusion in the CommonBugs wiki area since there seem to be a lot of 
reports that look similar (see my comment [1] to this effect).

If this is working for you, did you do anything special?  I am right now 
unable to use Fedora 15 to boot my system in an external-display-only 
mode without signficant fooling around at runtime (switching modes, 
etc).  Additionally, once the system puts the external display to sleep 
(which seems to happen after at most 1 hour, no way to disable this), it 
will never return until I start mode switching again.

I'm very frustrated but trying to DoTheRightThing here and make sure 
enough info is provided on the right BZs.  Alas, not much traction.

Thoughts?

Oh, come on, what kind of bug could changing one string in /etc/redhat-release 
ever induce? I believe it is easier (and more honorable) to rebuild the 
fedora-release rpm (or is that generic-release?) for F16 and recalculate the 
hash *before* F16 is released, rather than waiting for six more months to pay 
respects to Ritchie. It certainly is a trivial change, technically.

Best, :-)
Marko

now...and not a year later, 2 releases later

F16 is more or less finished. To change it's name now would require 
updating RPMs which, though it would be effectively a trivial change, 
runs the risk on introducing bugs.

Fedora 17 is much, much earlier into it's life cycle. It could be more 
easily changed, from a technical perspective, but not likely from a 
political structure.

Having him honoured in the F18 release will still serve a core function; 
It will trigger discussion, and thus remembrance, of his legacy for the 
next year to come, at minimum. So for this reason, proposing F18's name 
in his honour will be fitting and appropriate, I would think.

I might end up not linking the certificates with ssh ( probably because you
can't ) and then do public key retrieval from LDAP. I am glad that I am not
the only person who found the man page to be vague...

I will do some more experimenting to see what I can come up with and
feedback any interesting finds back to the list.

We are running a 64-bit CentOS that used to be on 5.4, but a few days ago

I think it would be more appropriate to rename F16, rather than wait for a 
whole year to pay respects to the man. Since Ritche was a key inventor of both 
C and UNIX, I believe a case can be made to make an exception and rename the 
first upcoming release, which will be F16.

Rahul, can you present the case to the relevant people, maybe open a vote on 
it so that everyone can formally state their opinion?

My suggestion is the following:

(1) Rename F16 to "Ritchie" (or "Dennis", whatever people like better),
(2) Rename F17 to "Verne" (in order not to insult the great writer),
(3) Rename F18 to "Beefy Miracle" (in order to keep the chain of "is a" 
naming).

I think that is the least Fedora Community can do to pay respects to Dennis 
Ritchie. Opinions?

Best, :-)

Re: double update : i686 & x86_64

[Errol Mangwiro]

Yup. Wine does that that's why I'm now sticking with qemu-kvm & vbox for my 
virtualisation/emulation needs. I hate having 32-bit dependencies in my 64-bit 
installation. I'd rather do without that program (which explains the skype-less 
& adobe flashless, until now, machine). And the size of your 
installation/dependencies just balloons once you start down the 32/64-bit road.

In my case, running "yum erase orc.i686" just to see what it wants to remove
shows that wine pulled it in.

You should use the test list for posting issues about Fedora 16 since it
is a test release.

This isn't the best list for such suggestions.  It is a Fedora Board

If you've installed 32-bit packages such as 32-bit Flash, Skype, or wine (which
pulls in 32-bit packages) one of those may pull in orc.i686. I'm running F15
x86_64 and have both orc.i686 and orc.x86_64 installed, don't know which 32-bit
software is pulling it in. You could run "grep orc /var/log/yum.log" to see when
it was installed and what else you installed around that time.

And in my opinion, Dennis' death is reason enough to change the F17 name even 
though it has already been voted upon... After all that is what paying your 
final respect is - changing your plans to acknowledge the passing of someone 
great. When you have a minute of silence, you don't just go out and say "mourn 
for a minute whenever don't have anything better to do" but you set a time and 
no matter what is going on, expect people to show their respects...

The second part of the question is how would this work with

this.


pam_pkcs11?  Note that ssh public keys are not the same as the
public key part of an x509 certificate - you cannot mix and match
them afaik.  What exactly are you trying to do?  Do ssh/pam
authentication and have ssh retrieve the public key from LDAP?


Hi Rich,

I will try to get my ducks in a row and explain what I am trying to do:

When you start at my employer you are issued a certificate from ejbca 
which I assume is similar in functionality to dogtag. This certificate 
is then downloaded once, and is your key to all things web based. Thus 
web servers have been modified to certificate based authentication 
which makes accessing anything very easy since you never have to type 
your password when accessing jira or confluence or any other web based 
service.


The certificates issued to people have quite aggressive settings with 
regards to expiry dates and access can thus be more tightly controlled 
even if someone forgets to execute a "leavers" process. I want to make 
use of this strong control when authenticating users on Linux boxes.


The following extract from ssh man pages caught my interest:

man ssh
A variation on public key authentication is available in the form of 
certificate authentication: instead of a set of public/private keys, 
signed certificates are used.  This has the advantage that a single 
trusted certification authority can be used in place of many 
public/private keys.  See the CERTIFICATES section of ssh-keygen(1) 
for more information.


man ssh-keygen
It is possible to sign using a CA key stored in a PKCS#11 token by 
providing the token library using -D and identifying the CA key by 
providing its public half as an argument to -s:



So after reading these man pages and reading about certificate based 
authentication in 389 I thought maybe 1+1=3 (aka might get more for my 
money/effort)


The ideas is thus that when I create my keypair in ssh I can sign them 
with my certificate ( might not be possible, might need CA to do 
that... ) this keypair is passed on when I do the authentication and 
is in turn passed on to 389 where it will deny/allow my access. This 
is very simplified and I can poke a million holes through the idea 
currently but that is what I am trying to do.
It looks as though you either need the CA cert/key to pass to ssh-keygen 
in order to generate an ssh cert with public key, signed by the CA, or 
you need to have the CA itself generate signed ssh certs.  The man page 
says that ssh certs are "simplified" versions of X509 certs - not sure 
exactly what that means, but I read that as "the cert issued to you by 
ejbca cannot be used for ssh authentication".


If I can have ssh/pam authentication and have ssh retrieve public key 
from LDAP that might be a consolatory price.
That is possible, but I don't think that's really what you are trying to 
do.  It really sounds like what you want to do is:
1) generate an ssh compatible cert (or pub/priv key pair) using your 
existing cert that is issued by ejbca - that may be possible, but you'll 
need to have the ssh cert signed by the ejbca - could be difficult

or
2) use your regular x509 cert for ssh authentication - it doesn't look 
as though ssh supports this although it's not clear from the man page - 
would be a very good feature for ssh though


Hope this clarifies what I am trying to do. I might have a few 
concepts still muddled together in my head...

None of these links explains the actual choices, they just explain how
the games works and what the connections are. 

Explaining the *name* doesn't mean to explain that Heidelberg is a City
in the German state of Baden-Württemberg but why Heidelberg was chosen
in favor of any other city in Baden-Württemberg.

You see: You are again explaining the rules rather than the choices.
While I have to admit that the connection is a little week this time,
the name itself is easy to explain. It is more related to Fedora than
any other name before.

F16 Beta - Re-use LVM2 on luks encrypted partition?

[Steven Hardy]

Hi, 

I've tried to install the F16 beta (DVD iso on USB disk), reusing an
existing LVM layout, which is on a luks encrypted partition.

e.g:
/dev/sda1 : /boot (ext4)
/dev/sda2 : luks encrypted

single PV (luks-mapper-device from sda2), single VG, multiple LVs
containing existing (RHEL6) OS and data.

This doesn't work, it correctly prompts for the luks password, and the
anaconda storage.log indicates that it has found all of the LVM LV's,
however choosing "Create custom layout" does not list the LVM
configuration, so I can't re-use it.

It looks like an installer bug, but before I raise a BZ, can anyone
comment on this - is this expected to work, and has it worked in
previous Fedora installers?

Any information much appreciated.

Steve

Would the next Fedora name; "Ritchie Rich" pass the "is-a" test with;

"Beefy Miracle was an unlikely hero, and so is Dennis Ritchie"?

or something else creative? Might be a nice tribute to the man who 
helped bring us Unix and C to name the next Fedora release in his honour.

Dennis Ritchie

[Clive Hills]

Would it not be appropriate for Fedora to pay some kind of tribute to the
late and recently deceased Dennis Ritchie?

Good - now you have confirmed it as a bug with Gnome - please file a 
bug report and hopefully it will get fixed. Your problem sounds pretty 
unique but perhaps others have seen similar things.

Don't forget that f14 will reach EoL very soon, too.  Maybe CentOS 6 
would suit you better?

Don't know about memory stick.

  Yes. I located,downloaded and installed the ..openjdk-plugin.. and I 
found this README:
The java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin subpackage contains a version of
gcjwebplugin that has been modified to run on the IcedTea class
libraries.  The package manages an alternatives symlink,
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so, so that gcjwebplugin is
recognized by the Firefox web browser.

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so contains this *.so,
and in /etc/alternatives I find:
libjavaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/i386/gcjwebplugin.so

So then it should go well to symlink
libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so
in /opt/firefox7/firefox/plugins

but it does not work. No reference to a java plugin in Tools>Addons
but in about:plugines there is:

GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) 1.2
 File: 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre/lib/i386/gcjwebplugin.so
 Version:
 The GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) executes Java applets.

Logon via bank ID fails. So it seems that this ios not compatible.

It seem that I have to plan for Fedora 14. Have you tried to install
from memeory stick?

Is your dependency problem because of no libltdl3.so.3 the rpm can be 
downloaded from here;

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/1034703/dir/other/com/libltdl3-1.4.3-9sls.i586.rpm.html

I had to do a rpm -ivh --force   to install   iscan.i386 0:2.27.1-4
