He's an attention whore. > He is some thing of a gas bag, isn't he. :D I've had the misfortune of hearing him speak at our local LUG. Besides being the most arrogant SOB I've met in my 37 years, he implied in his speech that he was somehow responsible for the Linux revolution and apparently forcing all the Fortune100 companies to switch to Linux. Thank god he'll no longer claim to be a Fedora user. It's sort of the same thing as Hannibal Lechter or Jeffrey Dahmer being in your dining club. -- * The Digital Hermit http://www.digitalhermit.com * Unix and Linux Solutions kwan(a)digitalhermit.com

I have to disagree with you. I configured my mail server based on comments in sendmail.cf for basic functionality. I tried various blacklists when that seemed to be the answer to spam based on instructions I easily found through google. I switched to using DSpam locally as a sendmail filter. I have the O'Reilly Sendmail book on my bookshelf but have yet to open it since I haven't needed to. Everything I needed to do to set up my mailserver was either explained clearly in comments in sendmail.cf or could be easily found with a quick search. To do *MOST* things that *NORMAL* users of sendmail need to do is easy. sendmail also provides the ability to configure a huge amount more if you need to but most people don't. Instead of a new subject we need to start a collection to buy a dead horse for people on this list who won't let go of their pet complaints. The current way sendmail is configured by default for Fedora is absolutely correct. If you can't figure out how to enable it as a real mail server, you have no business running a mail server (and perhaps you should consider a more appropriate OS than Fedora... say Microsoft's Bob).

Can't get NetworkManager to configure ntp
by Sam Varshavchik 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

I'm trying to convert from static host configurations to dhcp. My understanding is that on dhcp clients I should remove my ntp server from ntp.conf, with the understanding that when the network interface is set up by dhcp, the dhcp-provided option setting will be used by NetworkManager/dhclient to add the network's ntp server to ntp.conf. Everything works except for this part. When I plug the cable into the network port, the machine gets its IP address from the dhcp server, gets the nameservers from the dhcp server, but for some reason ntp.conf remains untouched. My dhcpd.conf reads: host t43 { hardware ethernet 00:11:25:B1:40:60; fixed-address 192.168.0.15; } # This is the dhcp client I'm configuring subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; deny unknown-clients; option routers 192.168.0.5; option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.5; option ntp-servers 192.168.0.5; . . . When I plug it in, the machine gets its IP address, router IP, and DNS ip, but ntp.conf does not get updated. How do I debug this? I tried stracing the NetworkManager process, but I cannot see it forking/cloning/execing dhclient and dhclient-script.

Status of OpenOffice.org and OpenXML (MSO 2007)
by P Jones 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Hi all; I've been poking around this afternoon looking for info on OOo and OpenXML interoperability, and specifically how it will/will not be incorporated into future Fedora releases. I see Novell has already made a translator available for their SLED and Windows versions of OOo (go to novell.com and look in the download section if you want to see them), but I can't seem to find a license... Maybe it's on the ISO somewhere, haven't downloaded it yet. Anyway, just curious if anyone knows more than I do... Maybe one of the developers knows what's happening? Thanks, -P

Beryl update broke my Beryl :)
by Kevin B 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hi I have Beryl [from Extras] running on FC6 with latest Nvidia drivers from Nvidia.com. Yesterday yum reported new packages including Beryl, Beryl-Manager etc so I updated them. Now on login, Gnome starts to load the desktop and Beryl -Manager launches and kills X and puts me back to GDM logon. I renamed my .gnome2 and .beryl?? folders and now I can get back into Gnome. Manually running Beryl-Manager from the Gnome session kicks me out again. Logs don't show anything relevent. Any help is appreciated. Thanks :) Kevin B

File-name encodings and unzip
by Colin Paul Adams 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hello, I have a file which I got from a zip file, unzipped with the unzip command. If I do ls on the directory from an X11 terminal or from the console, I see the name as xgespr?ch.xml. If I use emacs to view the directory, instead of the ?, I see a lower-case a-umlaut (which I know is the intended name). >From which I tentatively conclude that the file-name encoding is ISO-8859-1, rather than UTF-8. Are file-names supposed to be encoded on Linux as UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1, or is it configurable? This system is FC5, but a more general answer would be appreciated if possible. Also, how does unzip interpret file names? I cannot see an options to allow trans-coding of the names to UTF-8 (I'm assuming the directory of the zip file is encoded as ISO-8859-1, but again I don't know - I'm trying to find out from the originator of the zip file what the file-name encoding is on her system). -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
