ppp connection to Tungsten E fails
by Anca Tibor- Attila
Hi list,
I used my Palm Tungsten E under SuSE 9.1 prof. quite easy, without
problems. I set up the ppp connection according to a script in the net:
# PalmPPP - By Patrick Khoo - March 6, 2000
# See how we were started
case "$1" in
start)
# Start PPP Link to Palm
echo -n "Starting PalmPPP: "
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyUSB1 115200 192.168.0.2:192.168.0.5 \
passive local crtscts noauth nodeflate proxyarp \
-detach ms-dns 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 \
asyncmap 0
echo "Done."
echo " "
;;
stop)
# Stop PPP Link to Palm
echo -n "Stopping PalmPPP: "
killall pppd
echo "Done."
echo ""
;;
*)
echo "Usage: palmppp {start|stop}"
echo " "
exit 1
esac
exit 0
Thi I needed for my AvantGo and VersaMail settings. The thing functioned
without problems; I could fetch my mails, send them, synchronize with
AvantGo. Since I am under Fedora Core 3 the Palm device allways tells
me, it is not able to resolve (e.g. pop.gmx.net); it asks, if I could
provide the numeric IP of the server. I did it, but it did not help.
The device knows a primary DNS (that is my router, I am hanging on); I
did not change anything on the script above, I just burned it and
copied onto the new system.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance,

Problems with SSL accessw through a web browser
by akonstam＠trinity.edu
I am getting a little frustrated by the following. I am trying to
access imaps service through a web browser. I have constructed a
imap.pem certificate file which works well when I do accesses to the
server from mutt.
However, when I try access to imaps through a web server using a
https:// web address the results are baffling.
First the certificate the web browser returns from the server is not
the imap certificate. That is not that surprising. The certificate
returned is generic without any of the usual field filled with
meaningful content. The statement is given that this certificate
(represented by a file I cannot find) belongs to
localhost@localdomain rather than out server (which is true).
Then I get the strange error statement that:
new.host.name cannot be found.
At this point we can go no further.
Can someone hint how one creates this needed certificate and where the
file resides and under what name. I saw there was a Makefile that is
supposed to do this but all I managed to do using that Makefile is
secure the httpd server so that it could not be restarted without
entering a passphrase.
Anyone have information on this they are willing to share?

wine program
by Nathan Low
Where do I download this wine program for Fedora Core 3 Linux so I can run Windows programs?
Does anyone know of any free or low cost web browser that's like crazy browser which the user can get small window tabs in the browser when they want to see more web pages and when it clears all history when you close the web browser?
Please respond. Thanks.

Flash card detected, but system hang up when try to open it
by Xia Bin
Hi
I really like the automount function. It works smoothly with my
cdrecorder. But I have no luck with my flash card.
I'm using GNOME as my desktop, my flash card can be detected--which
means an icon will appera on my desktop titled like "131M Removable
Media". But when I click it (or type "ll /media/usbdisk) the system will
hangs up.
Here is a snapshot of my /etc/fstab file when the flash card is pluged in:
/dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk vfat
pamconsole,noatime,sync,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed
0 0
I have disabled a system serivces called "amd", could that be the reason?
Thanks

Hi all,
It seems that I have some problems in sending this post to the
gnupg-users mailing list, so I post a copy here.
The "gpg --gen-key" command failed on my machine,
Here is the error message:
----------------------------------------------
gpg: no writable public keyring found: eof
Key generation failed: eof
gpg: can't create `/home/xia/.gnupg/random_seed': No such file or directory
----------------------------------------------
Is there anything I missed?
Thanks

FC3 Stability
by danfreyjavaguy-fedora＠yahoo.com
All,
I just recently did a fresh install of FC3, moving
from FC1. Has anyone noticed an issue with stability
of apps? For no apparent reason, firefox,
gnome-terminal, etc. will just die. I have run all
updates. I can't seem to find any log entries for the
apps that suddenly die.
If anyone has any input, it would be greatly
appreciated.

How to configure CUPS
by VJ
Hi,
May be I am half brain-dead and I cannot figure out where to start. In FC2, I remember it used be called cupsd-conf or something line that. How do I configure cups in FC3? I am trying to use cups-pdf but cannot add a new printer until I can configure cups. I am using gnome.

I removed the "rhgb" option from the /etc/grub.conf and
now I can use runlevel 5 in inittab.
The same evidence is available here:
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27513&page=2
I lost some eye candy during the boot, but I prefer the text mode
anyways.

Fedora Extras is extra
by William M. Quarles
OK, someone pointed this out to me:
<http://www.fedora.us/wiki/RepositoryMixingProblems>
Join us or we'll start reproducing your software in your place anyways.
Does this not scream arrogance, bureacracy, and monopoly to anybody
else? Does this not seem very Microsoft-ish? Can you actually expect
to have a single community to maintain every single piece of free
software for Fedora Core (talk about a super bloat to the Fedora
Project)? Doesn't this seem to go against some of the good things about
free software? It seems that a set of extra libraries and applications
that aren't "Core" but are still fundamental or very widely used should
be the focus of Fedora Extras. Basically, take some software that is
very redundantly distributed by other repositories to reduce overlap and
increase compatibility, and not try to take over every package that
every other repository makes.

Iptables and logging to the console
by Robert Spangler
Hi,
How can I stop Iptables logging to the console? I don't know where else to
look. Below are my sysctl.conf and syslog.conf files
Thanks for your help

Here's my sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
# Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel
kernel.sysrq = 0
# Controls whether core dumps will append the PID to the core filename.
# Useful for debugging multi-threaded applications.
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
# Stop logging to the console
kernel.printk = 3 4 1 7
