Local binding port for SSH client?
by Jorge Fábregas 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hello guys, I'm wondering if it's possible to specify a local port when one uses the ssh client program? I'm sure the kernel is the one who decides some random port above 1024 at execution time...but I'm wondering if there's any way to control this at user level? Thanks, Jorge p.d. all references to local ports on the man page are related to port-forwarding which is not the case in this case.

HowTo Change the Login Window?
by Marc Ferguson 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hi All, I would like to know how to access and/or change the "login window" for Fedora 9. I was told it's changed dramatically; we're not using GDM or it's been split, blah blah blah. I don't know what any of that means, I'm a newb. I'd like to install a theme I found on Gnome-Look.org, but so far all the sites the folks in the chat room showed me didn't really say how to make the changes, or I'm just now reading it right: http://live.gnome.org/GDM/2.22/Configuration http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/sn-Desktop.html#sn-GNO… Thanks for any clarrification. --- Marc F.

I found: /%1 (file) /Desktop /.config /.kde in the root directory. Is this normal? Are these safe to delete? Thanks! Dan

F9: Adobe Flash: It works, it does not work - repeating syndrome.
by Dan Thurman 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

I have tried in vain to get Adobe's Flash to work in FF. It does not matter how many times I have tried installing, un-installing the adobe flash package - it says it was installed successfully. The problem so it appears, is flash works sometimes and sometimes it does not. I think this may be because the default flash plugin is actually swfdec Yes, I have libflashsupport installed as well. Under FireFox, you can try to change the swf default under 'Preferences' - however - I am clueless as how to override swfdec and force the default to be Adobe's Flash - attempts to try to do so only opens up a File/Directory Dialog box and I am clueless as to where/what directory/file needs to be loaded - I thought it was something of a library like: /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so but that does not seem to work. Btw: I have no problems with F8 - works like a charm and it does not use swfdec - but then again - that was with FF v2.0.x Any advice? Thanks! Dan

Network configuration
by Chris.Wraith＠barclayscapital.com 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

I have a Fedora 9 machine running VMware with two network interfaces, eth0 and eth1. The first, eth0, is connected to a DMZ network and the second, eth1 is connected to a more secure private network. I'd like to configure Fedora's networking such that the virtual machines have TCP/IP access to the eth0 (DMZ) and not eth1 (the private network). Conversely, I'd also like the host machine to be able access eth1 (the private network) but not eth0 (DMZ). On a Windows Server host, this would be achieved by unbinding the TCP/IP stack from the DMZ network adapter on the host, which is done by opening the interface properties and unchecking TCP/IP. As long as the virtual machine service remains bound to the adapter, any VMWare virtual machines can still configure TCP/IP on this interface but the host machine cannot. I'd like to do exactly the same on Fedora 9. Is this possible using the network scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts? Anyone done it?

off-topic callerID software for Linux
by Phill 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Does anyone know of a good caller ID application for Linux. I use a dial-up internet connection and need something to alert me when I'm receiving a call + give me caller ID info. This is probably going to depend on the modem I assume, but any info would be helpful. Using kubuntu at the moment. Thanks in advance.

Keeping Firefox+Flash from eating your CPU
by Jonathan Ryshpan 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

In a recent issue of Salon, I read: Luckily, there's a small add-on program for Firefox that lets the user prevent Flash files from running automatically when a page loads, and it turns Firefox into a stable, efficient browser. This appeared in: http://www.salon.com/wires/ap/scitech/2008/09/02/D92V0RV01_tec_tech_test_go… Does anyone know what this application/applet/plugin is? Is it available for Linux? Thanks - jon

Even ssh is broken on libplds4.so (all of these libraries are part of nspr). That's why I was saying I could try using a tarball, if my toolchain isn't broken also. gary
