file system overhead
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht
What is the filesystem overhead percentage supposed to be for FC4
systems? I have 2 200GB disks attached to the system and I let FC4 do
its thing and claim all of the space for itself. When I do a df(1) I
see that only 279 x 1024^3 bytes are available after overhead. That
comes out to only 71% of the original disk space. Over 128GB is being
lost. Is there really supposed to be that much overhead used?
In contrast, on a BSD system under I see only about 5% overhead when
looking at df(1). Thats more in line with what I'd expect for the
space taken by inodes.

Hi Gowri!
A couple of thoughts. When it is connected with Hyperterminal, look into
the hyperterinal com port settings. The baud rate, data bits, parity, stop
bits, hardware flow control, and software flow control settings. In minicom
these appear to be under ^A P for the baud rate, stop bits. and parity - and
a ^A O selecting Serial Port Setup to set the hardware and software flow
control.
Good hunting!

Hi Dan!
Check out 48.5 in the webpage referenced below:
http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/TrinityOS/cHTML/TrinityOS-c-48...
In Ubuntu Breezy, BTW, the ppp files are .ko rather than .o if you get into
wanting to run it in Linux.
Enjoy!

FC4 - Does Fedora recognizes memory?
by Hoffmann
Hello:
In the future, I intend to add more memory to my
machine. Does Fedora (automatically) recognizes the
new memory, as Windows does?
Thanks,

I would like that too.
For some reason, things are starting to work now. The remaining problem (which I am not overly concerned about) is the the simple WIN32 Hello program does not compile. The reason is that FC4 is packaged with qt-3.3 and not 3.2 which the program wants.
I guess now I have a lot of reading to do. I hope that I read where I can get a hardcopy of the manual

iptables rules to connect through a linux firewall.
by Dan Track
Hi,
I'm trying to connect a windows XP client to a remote pptp server. I'm using
windows XP at home on my home network which connects to the internet via a
fedora linux firewall using iptables with nat.
What iptables rules do I need to insert to allow this to happen. I guess I
just need to forward packets.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Spamassassin emails have wrong perms
by Justin Willmert
I am hoping somebody can help me solve a problem I am having with
procmail and spamassassin (specifically spamd). When spamassassin has
marked a message as spam, it gets sorted to a Junk folder, but the
problem is that it is owned by root:mail when it should be owned by the
user. When this happens, dovecot will not serve the email to the user. I
sort other emails into folders with simple matching rules and those work
fine. Spamassassin is the only rule that is piped out to a program.
Here is the relevant portion my procmailrc file:
DROPPRIV=yes # Make this run as a normal user. If
you need
# root privileges for something, do
it before
# this line.
# Send mail through spamassassin
:0fw
| spamc -u $LOGNAME
# Now that we've tagged the spam, put in the appropriate folder
:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
.Junk/
I've tried taking the -u $LOGNAME portion out too and that doesn't work.
Following is a maillog sample.

Below is what showed up in audit/audit.log when I sent a message through
spamassassin. I'm _*really*_ rusty on SELinux...it's the one thing I
have to deal with quite often that I haven't been able to learn how to
use...it's so foreign to me. I've never looked in audit.log before: the
avc messages used to show up in messages, but now as far back as my logs
go, I don't have a single avc message. This all looks like jibberish to
me, so I need your guy's help.
Thanks,
Justin
