enabling root over ssh on F11
by Aaron Gray
I need to enable root access via sshd. I will be using certificates and
firewalled access.
I tried remove the suffix " user != root quiet" from /etc/pam.d/gdm.
Also added "PermitRootLogin yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Also put SELinux into Permissive mode.
But still neither root sshd nor login work.
Help,
Aaron

Advice for "crossgrading" from 32 bit F11 to x64 ?
by linux guy
I do a lot of photo processing... things like generating 200 jpgs from
raw files at one go. My laptop has 4GB of RAM but is currently only
using 3GB because I am running a 32 bit kernel.
uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Fri Sep 25
04:30:19 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Sooner or later I want to upgrade to a 64 bit kernel and 8 GB of RAM.
Other than this article, I can't find any information on the subject.
http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/123800
I am looking to do the upgrade WITHOUT reinstalling Fedora. I've done
enough re installations in the past to know that I don't want to go
there.
Has anyone done crossgraded from 32 to 64 bit ? What advice do you have
to offer ?
Thanks

Questionable Status
by Gene Poole
I've very recently upgraded 2 of my machines. One machine was upgraded
from Fedora 9 to Fedora 11, and the other machine was upgraded from Fedora
10 to Fedora 11. On machine 1 I have 2-hard disks (both Seagate's - 500
GB and 1000 GB), on machine 2 I have 1-hard disk (Western Digital 320 GB).
All of the interfaces are SATA. The questionable status is that on
machine 1 the 500 GB drive is showing as failing and on machine 2 the 320
GB drive is showing as failing. Neither drive, under the old releases,
showed up as failing. How do I know that these drive are truly failing?
Thanks,

But that was my point! The responder indicated it was. So,
how does one get around the missing symbol, as in:
abiword: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libabiword-2.6.so:
undefined symbol: fribidi_get_type

NFS causing slooooow boot
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
I'm building custom Fedora remix with some packages from RPMFusion and
updated Fedora packages. Last Live USB image I created booted really
slow (over 5 minutes). I tracked down the issue to nfs service. Even
when this ISO image is used for installing Fedora to HDD the same
issue is present.
After stopping nfs service boot time was around 30 seconds!
Did anybody else experience this issue?
Cheers.

reorganizing /home's
by Michael Hennebry
I'm dual booting F9 and F11.
There is a partition that mounts on F9:/home and on F11:/home.
I suspect that my ~/.* directories are stepping on each other.
I want to reorganize so that the to-be-former home partition
mounts on F9:/homes and on F11:/homes.
F9:/home would be a symbolic link to /homes/F9.
F11:/home would be a symbolic link to /homes/F11.
User fred would have home directories with canonical names
/homes/F9/fred and /homes/F11/fred .
Each would have a symbolic link to /homes/fred,
his old home directory.
Once upon a time, I would boot from a live CD,
reorganize the directories, and edit the fstabs.
IIRC fstabs now get rewritten at boot time.
Mere hand editing won't do the trick.
What will do the trick?
Also, is there a way to use labels instead of those awful UUIDs?
I concede their usefullness if one has
a lot of disks or a lot of turnover.
I have four disks.

It seems that libfaad.so.2 be delivered by 2 different pacakges !
Are they the same ?
Should I just use --nodeps ?

by L
Hi,
I am looking for information how to connect evolution to MS exchange
mail server. The institute switched the mail server to MS exchange.
The temporary solution is outlook on XP on VirtualBox, but this is
not preferable. Any help is great.
