Yum broken = no testing
by Seth Nickell 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

Yum in rawhide has been broken by Python changes (caused by Python 2.4.0 brokenness, I believe) for the past 2+ weeks. Ordinarily a broken package shouldn't be a cause for list discussion, but in this case the breakage has been going on for a while and effectively halts the testing of other packages. Can we please resolve this one way or another so Fedora development can continue? Relevant bug is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138535 Sorry for the fuss... -Seth

FC3 memory usage problem
by Peter Arremann 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

I just upgraded my laptop from FC1 to FC3 a few days ago and since then I'm seeing terrible memory usages. The laptop has 1GB plus 1GB swap but I've ran it out of memory by simply using openoffice, mozilla and a few other smaller kde apps. Nothing similar has ever happened to me before and I checked everything I can come up with without result. Example Mozilla: Just after starting mozilla I see this: $ ps -eo"comm,vsize,rss" | grep mozilla mozilla-bin 97084 29392 After just visiting /. for a few stories the memory usage has grown to $ ps -eo"comm,vsize,rss" | grep mozilla mozilla-bin 142016 44528 Example OpenOffice: Starting OpenOffice $ ps -eo"comm,vsize,rss" | grep soffice soffice.bin 143976 51996 Opening a 9 page document with very simple layout (25000 characters) $ ps -eo"comm,vsize,rss" | grep soffice soffice.bin 157708 68780 After typing the word hert and the rightclicking to get corrections: $ ps -eo"comm,vsize,rss" | grep soffice soffice.bin 323336 234440 Example Kmail Starting Kmail: $ ps -eo"comm,vsize,rss" | grep kmail kmail 44352 24276 After viewing 15 emails from ebay: $ ps -eo"comm,vsize,rss" | grep kmail kmail 49796 30760 After viewing 100 random emails (about 30% html) $ ps -eo"comm,vsize,rss" | grep kmail kmail 69144 47132 Viewing the same 100 emails one more time: $ ps -eo"comm,vsize,rss" | grep kmail kmail 78956 53624 I'm a little suprised to see such memory usage within 15 minutes of booting my laptop. If I keep going, I'm running my laptop out of memory within about a day. Anyone got an idea? Peter.

sshd: it is permit to login with a Empty Password
by Dario Lesca 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

On a standard installation of FC1 and FC2 (and FC3?) is permit to login with a user with a empty password ... is this correct? [root@igloo root]# man sshd_config > PermitEmptyPasswords > When password authentication is allowed, it specifies whether the > server allows login to accounts with empty password strings. The > default is “no”. [root@igloo root]# grep PermitEmptyPasswords /etc/ssh/sshd_config #PermitEmptyPasswords no [root@igloo root]# useradd nopasswd [root@igloo root]# passwd -d nopasswd Removing password for user nopasswd. passwd: Success [root@igloo root]# ssh nopasswd@localhost nopasswd@localhost's password: <type ENTER> Permission denied, please try again. nopasswd@localhost's password: <type "x" then ENTER> [nopasswd@igloo nopasswd]$ id uid=505(nopasswd) gid=507(nopasswd) gruppi=507(nopasswd) [nopasswd@igloo nopasswd]$ How to disable this "feature"? Many thanks -- Dario Lesca <d.lesca(a)solinos.it>

OT: Help Kyrre with his LDAP authentification headatches :)
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

After reading to many pages on screen and on dead wood, asking (with no results) on forums, never receiving sign-up confirmation for the padl.com pamldap list, getting my post rejected at other LDAP mailing lists, and generally banging my head against the monitor for way to much time, i am hoping for a merciful harbor here. Please? If for nothing else, to save the forests from my printer? I am trying to set up a login-system based on LDAP - with a Debian (sarge) box as LDAP (and NFS) server, and Fedora Core 3 machines as clients. So far, no luck. (not for 2 months...). After finally getting the server to *start*, and adding what i (think is) an appropriate directory basic layout using phpldapadmin (running on an apache server on the same box), i still can't login. If i try to login (using su - *username*) from root, all i get is "user does not exist". I know the client is okay - if i direct it to an (older) ldap-running box, it works mountainously. I have a structure where all the user accounts are put in ou=People,dc=valler,dc=vgs,dc=no (as "PosixAccount" and "PosixGroup" according to phpldapadmin). This does work on the before mentioned box (if i have "copied" the setup right using gq to read it, and phpldapadmin to edit the new servers directory.) If i try to connect to the server using directory administrator, I can see all users/groups. Trying to change the user password gives an error, and if i try to create a new user i get "object class violation". Anybody who can help me? I am quite inexperienced when it comes to LDAP, and does now think i have spent way to many hours reading dead threes/on screen documentation of varying quality and relevance. I shall post any material you ask for. Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk
