Actually, [ctrl][+] and [ctrl][a] make it bigger and white on
blue which was good enough although it makes it hard to see
hyperlinks in this case.

RE: file sharing
by Epps, Aaron M.
Good point, there's a careful balancing act that has to be done when you (Fedora) consider automatic configuration vs. ease of use. Microsoft has chosen the latter of the two and look where it got them, the next Windows XP service pack that's coming out is going to clamp down on all of the services/ports that are left wide open by a default Windows XP install because M$ has been getting burned by several different virus/worms.
I think the Fedora project has chosen to give everyone a secure installation by default, if you want to open up your system to the world after the fact that's your choice. Again, there is no "hacking" involved in setting this up, unless you consider using a CLI and editing config files "hacking". Also you must keep in mind that Samba has to reverse engineer everything to work with AD, which M$ stole from Novell, and that is by no means a trivial task. I'd say if you really wanted to demo to your company the power/flexibility/freedom of Linux to setup a Samba server as a domain controller. Then try using the GUI Samba Authentication tool and see if it works... I bet it would.

While I think that this is a bit, ok, way off topic, this thread seems to be the kind of thing that I hear all too often. People in a Micro$oft world are used to the software doing everything for them. I choose to use Linux because it does not try and do everything for me. This way I can choose the way things are setup, and what security risks that I am willing to deal with. FC1 will attach to Windows Shares with no problems, and Samba will use Micro$oft AD for Security, we use it every day. Does it take some configuration, yes. Is that too much to ask of an admin, no.
OK, I will get off my soapbox now.

RE: file sharing
This is just my point, though; why all this hacking to get this working? The
experts in the community (or RedHat) could set it up right to start with.
Customer / Client supplies data needed (NT domain name and credentials) then
voila!
You know, the more you do FOR the user the more the user LIKES you. And it
is within the scope of Fedora to make a great desktop product eventually,
right?
I am relaying FEEDBACK to this list. From several people; current IT people
(MS based as most are) and end users, and managers... Learning is expensive.
I was hoping that Fedora as a project would appreciate feedback from
non-Linux admins.

GDB 6 fork/exec hangs the debugged program
by George Garvey
I can no longer stop at a breakpoint after a fork/exec. I tried building
a gdb 6 before once was available from Fedora, and had the same problem.
All of the fedora RPMs have exhibited this.
Even without a breakpoint, the forked program doesn't seem to work. In
this case, the fork is executing lpr.
This is what happens, instead:
(gdb) break SHPrint.cc:1256
Breakpoint 1 at 0x809ebdf: file SHPrint.cc, line 1256.
(gdb) r

file sharing
by Stephan Schutter
what is the most convenient way to share files? sftp, and smb, via
nautilus or konqueror operate like ftp... you have to copy local and
edit, then copy back up again.... not very user friendly... NFS: you can
not specify a user to connect as... Is this being worked on?

Selinux and Reiserfs
by Dave Hawkes
Hi,
I thought I would try the latest development updates to see how the
selinux implementation is progressing, but was unable to relabel my
reiserfs drive.
I changed the fs_use file to include reiserfs (fs_use_xattr reiserfs
system_u:object_r:fs_t) and also changed the makefile so awk would
identify reiserfs drives.
However I still get the "Operation not supported" error from setfiles so
I assume the reiserfs selinux kernel patches (using kernel 2.6.0-1.41)
are not implemented? Does anyone know if that is the case?
Thanks

Fedora Core 1 Testing Update: ghostscript-7.07-15
by Tim Waugh
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2003-052
2004-01-13
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ghostscript
Version : 7.07
Release : 15
Summary : A PostScript(TM) interpreter and renderer.
Description :
Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript(TM)
interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which
implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and
an interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Ghostscript
translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like
those understood by your printer or screen. Ghostscript is normally
used to display PostScript files and to print PostScript files to
non-PostScript printers.
If you need to display PostScript files or print them to
non-PostScript printers, you should install ghostscript. If you
install ghostscript, you also need to install the ghostscript-fonts
package.

x86_64 vs i[36]86 arch question
by Zoltan Boszormenyi
Hi,
now I have my MSI K8T Neo mainboard with an Athlon64 3200+.
I intend to start testing the FC2 development tree.
Before I start installing it, I would like to ask
how can I make a dual arch system from both te i386
and the x86_64 packages?
Can anaconda detect the situation where I already instelled
the i386 version and keep them while installing the x86_64 version?
Justin M. Forbes suggested (Re: Fedora/x86_64 vs 32-bit user space)
that I try to make a dual boot. How can I share /boot?
Both kernel-2.6.1-1.34.i686.rpm and kernel-2.6.1-1.34.x86_64.rpm
has the same kernel filename.

evolution 1.5.1 test packages
by Jeremy Katz
I've built test packages of evolution 1.5.1. I'm going to wait a few
days before throwing them at the world of rawhide, but have gone ahead
and put them up as a yum repository. They _should_ work fine on either
FC1 or the current development tree but are mostly being targeted for
the development tree. I'll warn that there are bugs, migration of
address book stuff isn't there right now and there are probably other
problems, but it does seem to basically work and it hasn't eaten my mail
yet :-)
To use, add something like the following to your /etc/yum.conf
[evolution]
name=Evolution Devel Snaps
baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/katzj/evolution/
Bugs regarding packaging can be filed at https://bugzilla.redhat.com
(make sure to mention that it's the 1.5 packages, exact version
preferably). Functionality bugs should be filed at http://bugzilla.
