One thing I can think of.
by Kyle Pointer
As FC4 becomes more stable there is one package that I still h ave quite
a bit of trouble with. gnome-pilot still doesn't work. Other than that
everything else it pretty great. :)
Well.. There *is* the SELinux rules, and the Firewall still has problems
with active FTP. But other than that I haven't seen a single thing wrong
with it in ages.

fsck.ext3 different?
by Rajmund Krivec
Is it possible that FC2 fsck.ext3 wrill not be able to verify
the FC4 partitions, and therefore it will not be able to mount
FC4 partitions into FC2? (Multiboot, cross mounting of user
areas while transitioning).
FC2 could not boot smoothly while a FC4T2 partition was in
/etc/fstab.

- Allow all domains on ppc execmem priv, otherwise it crashes
* Mon May 02 2005 Dan Walsh <dwalsh(a)redhat.com> 1.23.14-1
- Update to latest from NSA
* Added afs policy from Andrew Reisse.
* Merged patch from Lorenzo Hernández García-Hierro which defines
execstack and execheap permissions. The patch excludes these
permissions from general_domain_access and updates the macros for
X, legacy binaries, users, and unconfined domains.
* Added nlmsg_relay permisison where netlink_audit_socket class is
used. Added nlmsg_readpriv permission to auditd_t and auditctl_t.
* Merged some minor cleanups from Russell Coker and David Hampton.
* Merged patch from Dan Walsh. Many changes made to allow
targeted policy to run closer to strict and now almost all of
non-userspace is protected via SELinux. Kernel is now in
unconfined_domain for targeted and runs as root:system_r:kernel_t.
Added transitionbool to daemon_sub_domain, mainly to turn off
httpd_suexec transitioning. Implemented web_client_domain
name_connect rules. Added yp support for cups. Now the real
hotplug, udev, initial_sid_contexts are used for the targeted
policy. Other minor cleanups and fixes. Auditd fixes by Paul
Moore.
* Fri Apr 29 2005 Dan Walsh <dwalsh(a)redhat.com> 1.23.13-8
- Fixes for consoletype, kudzu reading proc_t
- Add label /dev/adb

Weird wireless network issue - came up when NOT requested
by Michael A. Peters
IBM Thinkpad T20
Atheros wifi card (using madwifi)
I'm not using NetworkManager - it was continuously losing my connection,
so I turned off that daemon, and configured my user to have permission
to start both the eth0 and the ath0 interface but have them set to NOT
start at boot.
I then put the "Network Device Control" control panel and the "Network
Monitor" applet on my panel.
Works just how I want - when I need internet connection, I just specify
which interface to bring up and it comes up.
Yesterday I was on my laptop for roughly 8 or 9 hours using LyX and
playing AisleRiot Solitare (Klondike - the dondorf cards are awesome).
Left it on overnight, shut it down this morning - just powered it on,
and it brought up the ath0 connection by itself.
I checked - it still is configured to NOT start at boot. What could
cause this? Could that be a bug in gnome saving the session?
I don't want it to come up unless I request it up.
NetWorkManager is turned off (I checked, and asked its status - it's not
running)
Rawhide gnome desktop up2date except for kernel (it's running
2.6.11-1.1275_FC4) which I only plan to update every month or so (no
compiler, need to build madwifi driver on a different box)
Previously I've been shutting it off via telinit 0.
The "ShutDown" option had disapeared from gdm and the log out menu
option. They are back after last update, that's only thing I can think
of that I did differently.

Stealthing Ports in system-config-securitylevel was: SSH brute force attack
by Roger Grosswiler
Hi,
Taking again the thread about the SSH brute force attacks, but with a
question.
We have a nice tool called system-config-securitylevel, why isn't it
possible to indicate some ips or ranges there an click to "stealth" so,
this port is just visible to the indicated ip-adresses??

Just curious, I haven't seen any updates for a couple of days...Do I
have to modify something on my system to get updates again, or are we
waiting for T3?

How to create a custom rescue disk
by Richard Ray
Can someone point me to info on how to replace the isolinux/vmliunz on
FC3-i386-rescuecd.iso. I've found docs that explain how to replace the
packages but not the boot kernel. I've tried but I get a panic after the
modules load.
Loading vmlinuz
Loading initrd.img
.. checks hardware
.. loads modules
Creating root device
umount /sys failed: 16
Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
Switching to new root
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Thanks

evolution crashes during upgrade?
by nodata
Is anyone else seeing crashes during or after a yum upgrade,
particularly in evolution and in epiphany?
(Luckily epiphany retains state..)
