Timer applet, alarm applet?
by wwp 31 May '06

31 May '06

Hey all! I've given a try to the timer applet (1.2, FC5/GNOME). Does anyone know a similar GNOME applet for reminders/alarms? The timer applet only does countdowns, and I'd like to set similar alarms at fixed date/time for instance. Any hint? Regards, -- wwp

different ssh settings for different users
by Ankush Grover 31 May '06

31 May '06

hey friends, I am using openssh-3.9 on FC3.Is it possible to have different ssh settings for each user means if there is a user john and he can only connect through the port 3309 and if there is a user mary she can only connect through the port 4067 ? Rest of the users should be able to connect through the default port that is 5009. Moreover is it possible to restrict some users to login only from few machines for example I want to restrict user tom that he can only login from one machine ? Please let me know if you need any further inputs. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

Dear all, How can the system administrator notify all users include those use gui only about an event? I have been thinking combining 'wall' and 'notify-send' but can't figure out how to send to all gnome and kde users? Any ideas? Thanks -- Leon

High Speed Internet & FC5
by jery_wang 31 May '06

31 May '06

Hi everyone, I am French and I just arrived in California. I am using a FC5 distrib on my computer and I would like to get a High Speed Internet connection like this proposed by AT&T with an External ADSL Ethernet Modem. But At&T claims that other distrib than Windows or Mac are not supported for their DSL connection. :-( Could I get some advices for the best solution for high speed internet with FC5? Many thanks in advance! :-D -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org http://fcp.homelinux.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=89663&topic_id…

IPV6, Fedora and apps
by Douglas Phillipson 31 May '06

31 May '06

Do network applications written for Fedora, or any Linux distro for that matter, require any modification to work with IPv6? or is that a "TRANSPARENT" change in the protocol stack under the application layer? Is there a different API for IPv6 for network apps, socket servers, etc? Thanks Doug P

Viewing and printing a big PDF
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage 31 May '06

31 May '06

If this isn't really an FC5 problem and should be addressed elsewhere, please point the way. I'm trying to double-side print a 339-page PDF on a new HP LaserJet 2430dtn. The document's properties include: Creator: Acrobat PDFMaker 7.0 for Word Producer: Acrobat Distiller 7.0 (Windows) Security: No Format: PDF-1.4 Optimized: Yes FC5's stock PDF viewers have a variety of troubles with this document: Document Viewer (Evince) Long load time KGhostView Extreme load time ending in failure KPDF Quick load, but can't read CUPS' printer duplexer setting (a CUPS or KPDF problem?) Xpdf No access to printer options at all I downloaded and installed the Adobe Reader v7.0.5 RPM from their web site. It overcomes all of the stock PDF viewers' problems, but the printout is bizarre. The image of each succeeding printed page is smaller than its predecessor. Like a series of perspective drawings, by the 15th double-sided page the page images have shrink to a microscopic dot. A few more blank pages and the job ends -- long before page 339. CUPS is configured to use FC5's LaserJet 2430 Postscript driver on a JetDirect port. Its print queue Driver options are nothing special: Send Form-Feed (FF) [ ] Send End-of-Transmission (EOT) [ ] Assume Unknown Data is Text [ ] Prerender Postscript [ ] Convert Text to Postscript [X] Effective Filter Locale [C ] Double-Sided Printing [Long Edge (Standard) ] GhostScript pre-filtering [No pre-filtering ] Resolution [Printer Default ] Media Source [US Letter ] The queue options are also routine: Banner pages At start of job [None ] At end of job [None ] Imageable Area Top margin (pt) [18 ] Right margin (pt) [18 ] Left margin (pt) [18 ] Bottom margin (pt) [18 ] Filter options cpi 12 lpi 7 page-bottom 86 page-left 57 page-right 57 page-top 72 scaling 100 scp-fc5 true wrap true Has anyone else seen similar shrinking printout behavior. Is this an Adobe problem or a CUPS problem? I'm guessing CUPS. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL

OT question about time tracking consultant software
by Lonnie Cumberland 31 May '06

31 May '06

Greetings all, I greatly apologize for asking this question on the forum but I was not sure where to find out good information on this topic. We are setting up a Fedora server and on that server, I need to locate some good web based software that will allow some tech support consultants to login, enter information on a customers support issues, and something that will track the amount of time that the tech spends resolving a customers issue. I am thinking that this is some type of IT consultant time tracking software that we can add many consultants and they can help to resolve customer IT issues and then we could know what the consult did and how long it took them to resolve the issue that might be in terms of hours, or possibly days depending on what was needed. Could someone please point me in a good direction to find some software that we can install on our web server for this? Thanks and again I am sorry for the off-topic posting. Lonnie
