Problems with ez-ipupdate and zoneedit
by Martin Marques
I'm experiencing some trouble with a F8 server on a ADSL when trying to
update the DNS IP definition in zoneedit using ez-ipupdate.
Up until some time last week it was working great, but now I get this in
my logs:
Jun 2 09:05:33 linus ez-ipupdate[1939]: unknown return code: 301
Jun 2 09:05:33 linus ez-ipupdate[1939]: server response: Moved Permanently
Jun 2 09:05:33 linus ez-ipupdate[1939]: failed to update
ppp0->190.31.24.47 (www.marquesminen.com.ar)
I understand what the logs mean, but I can't get a clue about how to
solve it (google hasn't helped me).
Is someone using zoneedit and ez-ipupdate?

F9, Nvidia & Direct rendering
by Jouk Jansen
Hi all,
I just installed the new Nvidia graphics driver from livna on my F9 system.
Much improvement compared to the previos version.
But,...
glxinfo indicates that Direct rendering is disabled (why???)
Because of this problem some 3D programs do not start from the Fedora-menu
i.e. the game torcs
-started from the menu trocs-wrapper is atrted which checks the Direct
rendering and fails.
-giving the command torcs in a terminal-window starts/runs the program fine
Is this a problem of the Nividia driver or can this be configured?

Mounting an NFS volume
by Francois
Hi,
I installed Fedora 9 on my laptop, and I got lots of problem with KDE. So
for the first time, I switched to Gnome, and it works like a charm. I'm
discovering it, and I have lots of questions about it, but with tests and
time, it will be ok I guess.
My pb is with NFS.
I have setted up the laptop to get its IP using DHCP. It works wireless
(wifi).
My second computer (main) is connected to the router with a fixed IP
address, and using cable.
I run an NFS server on both computers to be able to mount one from the
other. When I used a fixed IP address on my laptop, it worked fine. But
now I use DHCP, I can't mount an NFS volume of the laptop from my main
computer (but I can ping it with no pb). It works fine when I mount an NFS
volume of my main computer from the laptop.
Firewall is disabled, and SELinux est in permissive mode.
The /etc/exports file looks like that :
/ *.celtes.com(sync,rw,no_root_squash)
/boot *.celtes.com(sync,rw,no_root_squash)
/etc *.celtes.com(sync,rw,no_root_squash)
/home *.celtes.com(sync,rw,no_root_squash)
/opt *.celtes.com(sync,rw,no_root_squash)
/usr *.celtes.com(sync,rw,no_root_squash)
/usr/local *.celtes.com(sync,rw,no_root_squash)
/usr/local/misc *.celtes.com(sync,rw,no_root_squash)
/var *.celtes.com(sync,rw,no_root_squash)
The /etc/resolv.conf file is handled by NetworkManager, and is written that
way :
# generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!
nameserver 192.168.0.1
So, is it something impossible when using DHCP ?
Thank you. Francois

Fedora 9 bind problem
by John Pierce
Hello List!
I have installed F9 as a fresh install, setup bind to resolve both
local and wan side addresses.
I have no errors in the log file, but i have restart bind about every
2 minutes in order to resolve any
address.
This same configuration has worked flawlessly in the past, for at
least as far back as fc4. I am not
sure exactly is happening, but if I run system-config-network and set
the dns servers, then save and restart
the changes do not take effect. I have to manually edit the
ifcfg-eth0 file and change the DNS1 and DNS2
entries in order for it to work.
I am behind a gateway router/firewall so i have the default firewall
disabled, I also have selinux disabled.
Could this be a NetworkManager problem.
TIA

Compiling samba error's
by Collen Blijenberg
I have some problems when compiling samba from the source on fedora 9.
witch i didn't had with prior verions of Fedora.
already fixed the oplock issue, but the cifs is giving me a headache.
samba 3.0.28a
Fedora core 9
kernel: 2.6.25.3-18
gcc - 4.3.0
first i had an error in oplock_linux.c
------------
:37 error: conflicting types for capget
/usr/include/sys/capability.h:111 previous declaration of capget was here
:39 error: conflicting types for capset
/usr/include/sys/capability.h:110 previous declaration of capset was here
--------------
i removed the capset and capget from this linux file, and it continued
compiling again.
it was a quick and dirty fix. but still odd. (did i misted a library or
so ?!?!?)
after that the make command spit this at me:
--------------
mount.cifs.c: in function 'main'
mount.cifs.c: 1183 : error 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this
function)
--------------
dunno how to fix it, but what LIBS did i forget to install here.
or what changed with this new fedora release ?!?!

Diskless FC9 workstations
by Joseph L. Casale
I have a need to boot several diskless workstations with fc9. I was looking at ltsp but I
am not convinced that is a workable solution as the server I intend to use is rhel5.1 and
so the presented environment would then end up being a rhel desktop which isn't what I am
after.
Anyone got any suggestions/experience in doing this? The key being the workstations
must be completely diskless.
Thanks!

Ethernet Interface issues in FC9
by Joseph L. Casale
With networkmangler enabled, the static ip setup during install is ignored and eth0
dynamically acquires an ip. With networkmangler disabled, even though eth0 is set
to start on boot, it doesn't, so once I issue an #ifup eth0, it starts and uses it correct static ip.
What have I missed with FC9, I didn't notice this behavior in 8?
Thanks!
