RE: file sharing

In order for you to authenticate to AD you need to have SMB running since it's the bridge between Windows/Everything Else, that means you need to have ports 137-139 open, open ports = security risk... Especially common ones like these.

And once again, I am not talking about servers, and I do not see how being able to authenticate to Active Directory by default is "unsafe".

RE: file sharing
by Epps, Aaron M.
That's something I've had a ? About ever since FC1 was released, why doesn't smb:/// work in Nautilus? It seems to be a feature regression to me, considering that it worked fine in RH9. So what is different about FC1 that causes this problem, is it a Nautilus, Gnome-VFS, or Samba 3.x problem? In RH9 all you had to do was edit your smb.conf, start up samba and make sure that ports 137-139 were opened in your firewall.

Sorry about the tone... I a relaying my managers questions... They want something that just works... They read about Linux and how great it is; but this does not match their experience when sitting down in front of a Linux machine.
This is a desktop related issue, naturally. Knowing that Apple uses a UNIX core and manages to make it easy to use, they wonder when the Linux vendors are going to do the same.
I am frequently challenged by managers and my colleagues: "why do they have to make it so difficult?"
This makes Linux a hard sell for me.
So: why not have a default configuration that works? By default, when you install FC1, FC1 has these issues:
1. When clicking on the network browser, you can not actually browse the network. Instead you get an error about wins servers... Windows works fine.
2. Name resolution does not work correctly because FC1 does not pick up all the information from the DHCP (win2k DDNS) servers (wins, multiple search domains etc.) I am sure that somehow it is Microsoft's fault, but it needs to work none the less to be accepted.
3. Checking the SMB authentication box and entering the right domain name and server etc. does not result in being able to log on using the AD credentials. It is misleading to have such a dialogue box that does not do what it says... or have any information of what else to do...

If you're working with Xandros, use Xandros -- or at a minimum examine its Samba configuration so you are empowered to duplicate it.
/etc/samba/smb.conf is the likely place to start.
I don't mean to sound cranky, but the challenging tone of your question is more appropriate for vendors who actually owe you something. If anyone is helping here it sure isn't because you paid them.

Java and Fedora
by Ryan Nix
Why is Java always so difficult to setup? Specifically speaking, I'm
trying to install Limewire for a customer to appease her for trying a
Linux desktop.
Is there something that has to be configured in each user account to run
Limewire?
Are there any plans to bundle a JVM like Sun's or IBMs in the future?

No. The 'development' packages are built in a rawhide build
environment -- you certainly don't want those ending up as stable
updates for Fedora Core 1.
Basically a package is either built for testing (and then perhaps
moved to stable) *or* for development.

And in the case of GCC, there are so far no reasons to have different
compiler for FC1 updates and development, which means that
the package has to be built as FC1 testing and when it becomes FC1
stable
it will be automatically inherited into FC2 development.

Hey Tim,
Ok, i guess that makes some sense. My own feeling is that the
development branch should not be behind the testing branch of
the current release. All i was really asking was shouldn't it be
released to"rawhide" ie. development branch first or at least in
parallel? If it's good enough to be pre-stable, isn't it good enough
for the development branch?
This would increase the exposure and perhaps reveal additional issues,
prior to going stable. My other reason is admittedly somewhat selfish
in
that i only have a local mirror of the development rpms and would
dislike
having to mirror all the testing rpms just to get the odd rpm that
appears
there first. This can't be good for the download sites either.
Cheers,
Sean

Jakub,
Thanks for the response. Would it make more sense that FC2 development
inherit the package when it goes into testing instead? Development is
meant to be most current and isn't garenteed to not break. This should
speed up the discovery of any issues. If it's good enough for FC1
testing does it not mean it's good enough for FC2 development?
Thanks,
Sean

Because the vendor assumes that you are a UNIX admin, and want to do
everything yourself... It is like distributing Windows programs and
expecting the user to go and edit the registry by hand to make the
program
start. --it is insane.
Making a symlink in the /bin folder pointing to the Java executable
worked
for me... This seems a lot simpler and global than fiddling with paths

Jakub,
Ok, bandwidth-be-damned i've setup mirroring for binary and source
rpms of both core/testing and core/development from redhat.com.
Would still be interested to hear if you think a change is in order
about
when rpms are automatically inherited by FC2 development. Don't you
think
it would be better if it happened at testing time, rather than when
moved
to stable? Although i do like the notion that we test our rpms _before_
we develop them... That's got to make development easier. ;o)

I don't think this test/stable and development/rawhide system is setup
that way. Testing is for making sure the package works before it is
moved to production up2date for the current release.
Development/rawhide is for working on the next release, which once a
package is working fine for the current one, then it's made to work with
the new-to-be release, which will probably have lots of different
dependencies/mechanisms, like the 2.6 kernel, newer kde, gnome and so
on.
LOL, doubt I'm explaining this correctly, hopefully my point is across
at least hehe.

Please see the FAQ at http://www.linuxtx.org/amd64faq.html
There is a yum update from the original distribution site at

you

What's the fix for the problem mentioned below if you're running Yum
2.0.4-1 on RedHat 9.0.93 (Severn)?

Sorry, forgot to include "on standard Intel hardware" and my lib errors
are with /usr/lib/python2.2/urlib.py and /usr/lib/python2.2/ftplib.py .
Other than that my error message is identical.

Sure, if you'd rather do software rendering with mesa, just uninstall
the nvidia drivers and reinstall mesa-gl.
I dunno though, let's see, mesa-gl = 0.1 fps for q3a, nvidia = 100 fps
for q3a...
I think I'll go with the nvidia gl, and that is my final answer!

Has anyone had problems with printconf-gui not being able to load the
printer definitions when adding a new printer? I when I do the program
just hangs.

Yum Broken.
by Mark Lane
I have been upgrading my Taroon 2 system to Fedora Core 1 for AMD64 but
I have run into a problem. I believe that after I upgraded openssl that
yum broke.
[root@dynamic-171 downloads]# yum check-update
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ?

all_errors = (Error, socket.error, IOError, EOFError)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'error'
Any Ideas on how to fix this without putting on Taroon's version of
openssl?

launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command.

net-snmp holding up testing rawhide
by Jim Cornette
Using yum to update programs or using up2date would complain about a
required version of the library, older than the one that is currently
provided by the latest rawhide content.
Why is this a requirement for the older libs? Is the dependacy actually
needed?
Finding obsoleted packages
Resolving dependencies
.Package net-snmp needs librpm-4.2.so, this is not available.
Package net-snmp needs librpmdb-4.2.so, this is not available.
Package net-snmp needs librpmio-4.2.so, this is not available.
I successfully installed a fresh installation of Rawhide on January 4th.
I later found a conflict between net-snmp and submitted a bug on the
conflicting problems with other programs.
I have now tried to do another rawhide installation on jan 11 and jan 12
with no luck. I then decided to do a fresh install of Fedora 1, then try
for an upgrade through rawhide. This dumped also and a bug was reported
for these issues.
Also, xmms does not create a dafault .xmms directory on a clean install.
If one was to import a directory from another instalation and launch
xmms, it would work as it should.
Bugs submitted:
xmms:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=112864
FTP anaconda:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113358
This bug is for someone elses troubles. I could not track down my bug
report.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113414
---
I am amazed how one program with conflicting dependacies is able to
bring down a lot of other operating system features.
Good luck,
Jim
