[OT] Is Samba client not following the protocol?
by Deepak
Hi,
May be dumb question but I am testing this so I need to ask.
I have a windows machine sharing a folder. Using samba client in my FC
machine, I see whole lot more drives than the one shared (C$, D$,
E$,...). IFAIK these are shared for administrative purposes. Besides
that if certain folders are shared with "$" sign (for invisibility
purpose), Samba client shows all these drives.
Why?
Isn't that when you put "$" sign at last of your share (in windows),
it was not supposed to be visible.
Windows machine perfectly follows these rules. If I have Samba share
which is set to invisible, Windows machines doesn't show any of the
invisible folders in their network browser.
Since I don't have windows server installation, I cannot test it but I
guess if I share a folder from windows server with hidden status,
samba client will probably will show all the hidden shares.
So is this extra information a feature or bug?
Thanks

Excessive network traffic -
by Bob Goodwin
Below is about thirty seconds of data recorded at the RJ45 connector on
my Wildblue receiver/modem. The computer I'm using to test with is a
new F8 installation [192.168.1.10] and I don't know that it does
anything F7 didn't do but I see continuous activity, apparently the
result of DNS activity, since it is to the Wildblue DNS server on port
53. Is that normal? 60 bytes doesn't amount to much of a days usage
but still it is consuming bw.

SSL Bug in Fedora Core 8 (and 6)
by Duncan Berriman
I have found a problem with openSSL on FC8. The site being connected to has
a
TLSv1 and SSLV3 SSL Certificate, however as of Fedora Core 6
onwards if SSLv2 is disabled an SSL connection can not be negotiated.
openssl s_client -no_ssl2 -connect xxxxxx.xxxx.com:443

This encounted on a live server at a data
centre running Fedora Core 6. I then did a fresh install on
another machine at the office of FC6 and reproduced the
problem. I then did a fresh install of FC8 on the same
machine and again managed to reproduce them straight away.
I have since downgraded the live server to FC4 and it has
Fixed the issue. Problem is not apparent in FC4, Enterprise 3
Or enterprise 4.
Happy to provide the server name off list or do any debugging
If someone can tell me what they need.
Thanks in advance

Users Manual - D810 "missing in action"
by Aaron Konstam
Some time ago I made the statement that my Dell Latitude D810 machine
came without a user's manual.
I was jumped on by list members who showed me the web page for the
User's manual.
Well right now I can't find any collection of search words in google to
get me that manual, For example the search terms, "Users Manual Dell
Latitude D810" only get me the service manual.
Can anyone find where the manual is located?

Question about LVM and RAID
by Ranbir
Hi All,
I have an external drive cage which has been configured with two
separate RAID 5 arrays. I then used LVM to create two PVs, and then
added the volumes together under one VG. The whole shebang is mounted
on one file system (/srv).
What would happen if one of the RAID arrays failed (e.g. two drives die
in RAID 5 array 1)? Would the data be safe, would I lose all data, or
would I just lose the data that was on the failed array?
I believe I would only lose the data on the failed array, but a friend
believe I would lose the whole lot.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ranbir

/proc/acpi problem 2.6.23
by potat0
hello all
I have 2 elderly-ish laptops:
a Dell inspiron 2100 and a toshiba satellite 3000-x11.
Both have been running fedora since core5 perfectly happily.
The Dell is now on Fedora 8 and the Toshiba is on Fedora 7.
Ever since the update to 2.6.23 neither has recognised its battery being present. When i remove the ac on the Dell it still thinks it is on ac, when i remove the ac on the Toshiba it shuts down. The other problem is that fan control for the Dell has failed allowing it to overheat and shutdown if doing anything requiring lots of cpu activity.
In /proc/acpi/battery for both there is no entry for BAT0 and BAT1 is reported as not present.
I note that "power_supply" and "battery" modules are not loading but modprobeing these makes no difference.
Could somebody enlighten me as to what might be causing this?
thanks in advance

OT: USB<->Ethernet printer server for router
by Dotan Cohen
Hi all, this is not a Fedora question, but I am abusing the list's
collective knowledge :)
Our home network has two Fedora machines and a Ubuntu machine on a
four-port router. As none of the machines are 'always on' machines,
the poor USB printer is plugged into whichever one needs to print. I
recently saw a device for connecting a serial printer to an ethernet
port on the router, thereby giving the printer a local IP address and
any connected computer could print to it. With NAT, even a remote
computer could print to such a printer (actually a feature that we
would use a lot in our home, as I am often at the university and I
send documents home for the wife to print).
Does anyone know of a similar product for USB printers? I've scoured
Ebay but found nothing. I'd love to hear of anyone who has experience
with such devices, and who could describe possible drawbacks that I
have not considered.
Thanks in advance.

Fedora software to process "egg" photographs?
by Dotan Cohen
My brother has an "egg" lens for his camera: it takes a round 360
degree photograph that must be processed. After the processing, he has
a Java applet that lets one turn around and zoom inside of the 360
degree photo, as if he were standing in the place of the camera.
Besides entertaining, this is useful for photographing real estate
properties. Has Fedora any software that can process these images? I
don't want to attach an example photo to the list, but if need be I
can upload one to a server and provide a link.
Thanks in advance.

during fedora boot, what picks up the initrd.img from /boot?
by Robert P. J. Day
i'm sure i'm going to regret asking this only seconds after i hit
ENTER, but at what point during the boot process does the kernel's
corresponding /boot/initrd.img file kick in and get used?
i'm following along reading the logic of initramfs and early
userspace, and can see where a compressed cpio archive can be
incorporated into the kernel image itself. fair enough.
but how does the /boot/initrd.img (which is itself a compressed cpio
image) get processed during boot? it's certainly not passed as an
argument to the kernel as i can see via /proc/cmdline. so how does it
affect the boot sequence? thanks.

Recursive diff?
by Ashley M. Kirchner
What's the best way to run diff against two folders, comparing every
single file in each one?
Basically we're trying to figure out what changes have been made
between a backup folder and a current one. They both contain folders
within folders and files within them.
