It will cause messages to repeat in your mail. I experienced this from my fetchmail. To fix it I changed fetchmailrc to include logging and expunge 1 to erase mail from my server. here is a copy of my .fetchmailrc file. # Configuration created Sun Jul 11 10:36:42 2004 by fetchmailconf set postmaster "rmiles" set bouncemail set no spambounce set properties "" set daemon 90 set no syslog set logfile /home/rmiles/fetchmail.log poll mail.comcast.net with proto POP3 user 'r.godzilla' there with password 'xxxx' is 'rmiles' here expunge 1 -- Richard E Miles Federal Way WA.

But the package "libselinux" is actually installed .So What can I do if this incident happened again and what would it caused to happened ? Although the problem happened and I can perform install by yum.

Startup Scrpts
by paul lawrence 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

Hi, I am new to the world of linux, for my sins I have been entirely a Microsoft person; untill now, and I need some advice on how to do something. I have a server running Fedora Core 3, with Resin. I want to be able to create a startup script that will set some environment variables for Java, start up Resin and the call two custom scripts I have been given. I have been playing around with a file called resin-a.sh which a web site suggested creating to run the commands I want. >From a promt, if I type the following the variables are set OK, but if I include them in the resin-a.sh file and type sh resin-a.sh they are not set. export set JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06 export set RESIN_HOME=/usr/local/resin export set PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/bin I also want to somehow include in this script a startup command for httpd.sh to start the resin web server and also to call to other scripts. Any help would be much appreciated, as I said I am completely new to this and its a little confusing. Regards Paul

Enable Firewall, But Allow Specific Inbound Connections
by Robert L Cochran 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

On Fedora Core 3, I want to enable the firewall, permitting inbound TCP connections from anywhere on port 80. I also want to allow inbound connections on port 3306 but only from hosts 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2. It looks like I can't do this from the Applications --> System Settings --> Security Level GUI. I can allow ports 80 and 3306, but it doesn't look like I can limit the port 3306 connections to just 2 specific hosts. I would have to craft an IPTABLES script. Am I right here, and if so, what would be the right way to add specific IPTABLES rules without interfering with the Security Level applet? Thanks Bob Cochran Greenbelt, Maryland, USA

Re: Fedora Core 3 sound problems.....?
by Peter Lesterhuis 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Hi there, I'm new at this Linux thing and i've just installed Fedora Core 3 on my desktop, so i hope someone would be kind enough to help me out with my problems. After installing Fedora, the first thing i notice is that i can't play any VCD, DVD or even normal audio CDs; I "tested" my soundcard and it work find because i can hear the sample sound played in the "Sound Card Detection" section and i can also hear all the system events sounds.... so far that is my worries after installing Fedora into my desktop apart from not being able to access my NTFS partition but that i can solve..... so pls help me out with my sound ( & video ) problems. thanks Hi, I seem to have exactly the same problem. I cann't hear an audio cd and i cann't play a dvd (movie). Testing the soundcard (system settings - soundcard detection) shows audio device, model and module. When i hit "play test sound" i hear the test sound very well. I changed permissions of /dev/hdb (my cd-rom drive) to 664, but this made no difference. I checked the alsamixer for muted switches or low volume levels. When i try to play a audio-cd i can read all the tracks, so the cd-player is picking up a signal at least.

mouse bindings
by Carl Nygard 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Can someone point me to where the mouse bindings configuration went? FC3 seems to have removed easy access to it, and I want it back. Raising the window when I click inside the window is *not* what I want metacity to do, I have focus follows mouse and I want the window layers arrangement to remain the same when I'm working in a partially obscured window. Help? Regards, Carl

Fwd: How can i find out, what files a RPM is provding?

I had to, just in case the .rpm was not installed on my system. Details are in the archive on installation of the appropriate files. > I've never heard that. The query function is a standard function of RPM. If you have RPM installed (and you should) then you should be able to perform any queries of your RPM packages. Try rpm -? for additional help. rpm -q = query mode --whatprovides is an argument to the query mode that tells RPM to look at it's own data and tell you which packages provided a particular file. For example, I want to know what package I installed that provided me with libmysqlclient.so.10: rpm -q --whatprovides libmysqlclient.so.10 Then it gives me back an answer: MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.9-0 So any file that is installed from an RPM package can be queried this way to let you know which package installed the file. I didn't have to add any additional packages to be able to do this query -- or at least none that I intentionally added. -- David ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't. -- David ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.
