grub.conf options
by Jonathan Ryshpan 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Where are they documented? In particular: * What does the quiet option do? * How can I get the system to display messages during shutdown? rhgb suppresses messages during bootup. Is there a similar option for shutdown? If so what is it? * In my grub.conf, timeout=5. Nevertheless the grub starts the boot process after 3 seconds. What am I missing? Thanks - jon

Re: Linux problems with Flash in Firefox
by Hugh Caley 26 Oct '09

As I said, Roger, not everyone has this problem. I have had this same problem on this particular hardware combination from at least FC7 onwards. I'm guessing it may be a problem with interaction with the proprietary nvidia driver and Firefox? I have a 6200 nvidia card. I also had the same issue with FC11 on an IBM/Lenovo laptop I had; I think that machine had integrated Intel video. My brother in law has a box running FC10 with an ATi 7500 and he DOESN'T have this problem at all.

Fedora 11, amavisd-new, clamscan and Thunderbird 3.0b4
by Frank Murphy 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

My clamdrib (TB extension) has stopped working despite changing instsll.rdf So how can I setup amavisd-new\clamav for use with TB. Most of the googling bring up refrences to user:clamav. http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/clamav-redhat-amavis.html I have users clamscan and clamupdate. What would\should be changed from above link? No manual entry for amavisd-new amavisd --help (can't make out how to use in my setup from this) -- Regards, Frank

Hi all, I have a stock FC11 install with all updates applied. Dev tools is installed. I am now trying to add a HighPoint Rocket rr2320 RAID PCI-e RAID controller. I have unpacked the source files into a subdirectory of user's home directory. Upon navigating to this directory the follow is the response to 'make'.

straight dope on SSL certs?
by brian 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

My self-signed SSL certificates (for Postfix & Cyrus-IMAP) have just expired and so I'm faced with once again trying to decipher (heh) the multitude of instructions for setting this up. I still have my notes from a year ago but, though everything's been working fine (AFAIK), I'm not convinced that what I'm doing is correct. I've read many tutorials online but each one seems to confuse the issue further. For one thing, before I'd even started, I'd found some cert files already existed. I believe they were set up by the Apache rpm. In any case, I just ignored them, as I'm not currently using SSL through Apache. I probably will want to use it in the future, however I don't at all understand how/why these already exist, as they couldn't possibly contain the correct information (commonName, organizationName, etc). So, anyway ... I'd like to create new certs and, at the same time, clear out some of the deadwood under the /etc/pki tree and attempt to get all of this into proper order. This is my current setup: /etc/postfix/main.cnf: smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/pki/tls/certs/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/pki/postfix/newcert.pem smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/pki/postfix/newkey.pem /etc/imapd.conf: tls_ca_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/cacert.pem tls_cert_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/newcert.pem tls_key_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/newkey.pem I have no idea what I was thinking when putting these in separate directories. I assume that's a redundancy I can do without. /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf: SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key #SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server-chain.crt #SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt Here, localhost.crt and localhost.key were created by something other than myself. I have no idea what they're good for, if not self-signed. However, I'm guessing that I could probably create a cert/key.pem pair and use them for Postfix, Cyrus, and Apache. Note, though, that the httpd versions are not PEMs, so that's another source of confusion. This is from my notes for Postfix/Cyrus: -- snip -- # cd /etc/pki/tls/misc ./CA_noDES -newca [creates key file in /etc/pki/CA/private/cakey.pem] ./CA_noDES -newreq [creates newkey.pem & newreq.pem] ./CA_noDES -sign [creates /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem] ADD THE PRIVATE KEY # cat /etc/pki/CA/private/cakey.pem copy this into: # vi /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem # cp /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem /etc/pki/tls/certs/ -- snip -- Could/should I simply use the above instructions to create: /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt.pem /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key.pem ... and use these for all 3 apps? Also, I'm not really clear (surprise, surprise) on the purpose of the last line. Why should I copy cacert.pem from one directory to another? I understand that the CA dir is readbale only by root. However, by copying the file elsewhere, that security seems superfluous.
