anaconda help RFE and other Fedora developmental queries
by Matt Hansen
Hi guys
I have a few items I'd like to mention:
* I suggest the Help sidebar for the firewall setup section of the
anaconda installation procedure (test2+) should contain some notes
explaining the SELinux extension options available. (i.e. Disabled,
Warn, Active). Sure, people should have read the release notes but
adding this keeps with the trend of briefly documenting each section of
the install procedure.
* Within the system-config-network tool, it is now possible to set up
IPSEC VPN links. ( great!) However, the /usr/bin/internet-druid tools
still lists a wizard for setting up CIPE tunnels. Further, it even fails
mentioning that package "cipe" is needed to continue with the setup.
Now, clearly, this is a hold-over of previous OS releases and as such
should be removed from this Internet Config Tool should it not? (esp.
since Red Hat have explained its dropping of the package from the
distribution due to insecurity issues; see recent discussion on the
fedora-test-list)
On that note, would it not be reasonable to replace this CIPE wizard
with the IPSEC one?
* Fedora Core's rhn-applet still associates somewhat with Red Hat's RHN
service now used exclusively with Enterprise products. (Such as
right-click, "RHN Website", etc.) Is it not reasonable to remove any
mention of "RHN" from this applet's configuration screens/options so as
to not mislead/confuse new users into thinking up2date is still
associated with RNH?
- A small side-issue for up2date: Is there any need to continue
inclusion of the "View Advisory" button within up2date screens?
Currently it provides no intended purpose; is there maybe a future
infrastructure being developed to enable a functional button for this?
My apologies if these issues have already been discussed and/or a
work-in-progress.
Regards,
Matt Hansen.

Ok so now I know what djinni is. And it does nothing to increase the
security of mach. It says "vserver-djinni is used to do privileged tasks
like directory mounting in unprivileged vservers.".
It is in fact a workaround to using a vserver kernel, which I did note
as a possible security improvement for someone willing to invest the
time to figure it out.
All that being said, to my knowledge vserver consists of a patched
chroot call, a series of capabilities and resource limitations, process
tree separation, and a bunch of tools to facilitate binding to a single
network alias, etc. Most of this stuff is irrelevant to building as an
unprivileged user.
I'd like someone to please demonstrate how building under a chroot
running under a non-privileged user is a true security risk to a
development machine. Moreso than, for instance, exposing an http or ssh
daemon. An SRPM will do fine. Again, the system is supposed to be secure
against local root exploits from unprivileged users to start off with,
and running in a chroot only provides an added level of security. If the
mach chroot installs weak suid binaries, then that's an os-level
problem, and for that matter one that could be fixed pretty easily in
mach by removing the suid bit on every file it installs.
I don't have a problem pointing out to prospective QA'ers that they may
get rooted, but by that line of reasoning we'd better start including
those disclaimers with every copy of bind, sshd, or apache that get
shipped with the OS too. There is an element of risk in everything, and
smart security is all about risk management, not paranoia.
If you're really concerned, there will never be a better option than a
dedicated machine without network access, but how usable is that? We're
trying to REDUCE barriers to entry, aren't we?

I don't disagree that mach wasn't designed to be secure, but otoh, the
methodology it uses isn't by definition insecure, either.
Well it DOES still chroot. It's not supposed to be easy to break a
chroot. Do you have an example package that breaks it? What is djinni,
and why isn't it included in mach if it makes it secure enough for
casual use?

Re: automatic downloading. My thought is that it's fine to be automatic,
since we print out the url that was downloaded in the TODO section to be
checked manually by the user as they see fit.
The TODO list is currently eliminated in batch mode, but not for long.

Agreed. I think it's going to have to be left up to the documentation
for now though, since I'm not aware of many standards for how this is
done. We could probably check for SRPMFILENAME.sig or something though,
I guess. Any thoughts?

Guides for Fedora Core
by Leonard den Ottolander
Hi,
Just wondering if there are any plans to adapt the Red Hat Linux guides
for Fedora Core. These are very useful guides, but some newbies might
not understand it if you point them to RHL guides when they are using
Fedora Core. Also the information available in them will out date over
time.
Leonard.

Would this be why we are getting "/home/<username>" doesn't exist
messages (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119597)?
So far, we've found that fixfiles relabel hasn't fixed anything.

I hope I did not rain on your parade, but I have submitted pstoedit in the
Fedora QA bugzilla. This is a great app, which can work as a plug-in to
gsview 4.x. See: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1440
libEMF is busted building on Fedora-1 (properly) , even with gcc patches
poached from other distros. Needs some massaging and it is an abandoned
project AFAICT. I would be curious to see if it can be made to work properly
on FC-1 and FC-2..
I have not finished the plotutils package yet, so submitting this to QA would
be welcome.
Package submission guidelines and other pertinent info:
