PAM with Credit Cards
by Brian Fahrlander 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

I'm looking into something...maybe some long-term plans. Let's say I handed out a bunch of magnetic cards for students to use, each with a name on it an/or PIN, and wanted them to walk up to a PC with a reader and use that card (probably authorized by LDAP somehow) to 'be' their login/password. How tough would it be to write that kinda PAM module? Has anyone here done it?

FC 3 -- Ready for Production Deploymnet??
by Timothy A. Holmes 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Good Morning Folks: I have just finished loading my first FC3 box, and the updates are running right now. I will be testing this box for a period of time, but what I am wondering is if FC3 is ready for production deployment at this point, or if I should wait for a further period of development. We are mostly a windows shop, and my normal time table is to not deploy an operating system until it has gone through the first service pack update, but there are exceptions to this rule. I am newer to using Fedora and I don't have a good time table established for deployment. I have 2 webservers (apache) a database server (MySQL) and a file server (samba) currently deployed, as well as a Nagios box, one running cacti and one that will be shortly getting mailman Your insights and thoughts would be appreciated TIM Tim Holmes IT Manager / Webmaster Medina Christian Academy A Higher Standard...

Firefox/Thunderbird: opening links in running browser new tab
by Mark Weaver 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi all, I know this has been discussed here previously, in fact I read the thread in which it was discussed, however its been a while and since reading this thread i've had to reload my system. ( new box ) Now, i'd like to be able to make thunderbird load links into the running browser on a new tab, but I can't remember how it is done. At the moment links are opened in a brand new browser window. This is a pain and I'd like to change this behavior. been googling for hours, and have checked the archives, but I can't find it anywhere. Could some kind soul refresh my memory? thanks, -- Mark ----------------------------------------------------------- Paid for by Penguins against modern appliances(R) Linux User Since 1996 Powered by Mandrake Linux 8.2 & RH Fedora Core 3 ICQ# 27816299

Now when I use system settings soundcard detection it shows the correct hardware but I do not hear the test sound. Do I need to load the modules by hand? Can anyone help :-? -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org

Problems burning DVD
by Gérard Milmeister 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi, I just burned a couple of AVI-files to a DVD. This seemed to work fine. I mounted the DVD afterwards, and played an AVI-file with mplayer. While the video was ok, the sounds was completely noise. MPlayer produced errors like: big_values too large! Blocktype == 0 and window-switching == 1 not allowed. big_values too large! big_values too large! big_values too large! big_values too large! Badly interleaved AVI file detected - switching to -ni mode... How can this happen? -- Gérard Milmeister Langackerstrasse 49 CH-8057 Zürich

Firefox Extensions Update Button
by Sandeep Shekhar_Prasad 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Dear friends, I have installed some extensions in my firefox browser provided with the FC3 system. The extensions source was the mozilla update site. But, I don't seem to find any button or link to update these installed extensions, like the one provided in the version of firefox available from mozilla website. Like, i need to update flashgot0.5.7.5 to version 0.5.7.6. Does any one know how to update these extensions automatically or do I need to manually update them? Thanks in advance ...

Linksys WPC-11 wireless card
by Vincent Cocco 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

I have an older Linksys WPC-11 wireless card plugged into a Linksys wireless PCI adapter on my Fedora box. I also have an ethernet adapter plugged into a PCI slot. Linux sees eth0 as the wireless device and eth1 as the 'wired' device. In the network configuration utility I have the eth1 profile disabled and also have eth0 to be disabled at startup; have it enabled at system boot seemed to hang the system for a little bit before the device failing then successfully booting the system. The network configuration utility sees the card as something other than a Linksys card; I believe it's attempting to read the chipset and coming up with the closet driver available. When I go to save my configuration info in the network utility and attempt to start up the card I get: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device eth0 ; Device or resource busy. Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : SET failed on device eth0 ; Device or resource busy. Determining IP information for eth0... failed. This particular card worked pretty well on my older RH 8 system running on a laptop. Has anyone gotten the Linksys PCI adapter/wireless card combo to work on Fedora? Thanks, V
