F14 - Changing GDM Background
by Sawrub 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

Hello All, Setting default GDM background was a little easy till F12 by using the 'Set as Default' button, but i can't see it there now in F14. Please rescue me to change it. Is there any way to set the same for the playmouth, so as to have one background right from the time when booting starts. -- Saurabh Sharma Linux user number: 490644 http://sawrub-blog.blogspot.com/ Open your doors.......It's time to look beyond Windows

partition gone !
by Patrick Dupre 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

Hello, I do not understand what did happen. I have a logical partition whose the hierarchy seems to have disappeared. Here is the result of testdisk: Disk /dev/mapper/VG1-home - 9663 MB / 9216 MiB - CHS 18874368 1 1 The harddisk (9663 MB / 9216 MiB) seems too small! (< 9698 MB / 9249 MiB) Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection... The following partitions can't be recovered: Partition Start End Size in sectors Linux 924 18875291 18874368 Linux 1824 18876191 18874368 Linux 2416 18876783 18874368 Linux 2934 18877301 18874368 Linux 3558 18877925 18874368 Linux 4090 18878457 18874368 Linux 4638 18879005 18874368 Linux 5356 18879723 18874368 Linux 5862 18880229 18874368 Linux 6598 18880965 18874368 When I mount it is just empty. Before I made a restorecon -R -v /home In addition, before the partition was visible from one system (fedora 10) but not from another fedora 10. I also notice that when every thing was OK it was mounted as /dev/dm-6/home and not as it was supposed to be: /dev/VG1/home. I have done something wrong but I cannot understand what ! While the geometry would have change ? I also run a fixfile. The other strange thing is also that only this partition became wrong. while the mounting by using dm-x was for all the partition while it was supposed to be /dev/VG1. I can recover the partition because there is a backup but I would like to understand !

another DNS problem
by Hiisi 30 Oct '10

30 Oct '10

Hi, list! I'm trying to configure my system as a mail server. It's f12. My ISP provides me with a static IP address and I've binded domain name to it (kello.ru) I have sendmail installed and can successfully send messages from remote hosts to users on this machine (i.e. to root(a)kello.ru) However it's impossible to send messages from this machine to the outside world. Whenever I'm trying to send messages using mail command or mail function in php-scripts the recipient receives nothing. Instead, I see a lot of messages of this kind in var/log/maillog: Oct 31 01:21:41 kello sendmail[23801]: o9UA6Nvm013215: to=<saippua5(a)gmail.com>, ctladdr=<root(a)kello.ru> (0/0), delay=11:15:18, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=1290432, relay=smtp.direct.ru., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: 451 DNS temporary failure (#4.3.0) Domain name registrator told me that the MX-record for this domain points to mail.kello.ru which is just an alias for this machine. My ISP rejects all outgoing connections to port 25 except to their own smtp-server (smtp.direct.ru). Here's configuration of this system. cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost.localdomain localhost smstools.dyndns-mail.com ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost 212.16.23.132 kello.ru mail.kello.ru cat /etc/resolv.conf search ns1.eserver-ru.com nameserver 81.177.8.11 nameserver 81.177.9.11 nameserver 81.177.8.18 cat /etc/mail/sendmail.mc divert(-1)dnl dnl # dnl # This is the sendmail macro config file for m4.

openswan is unusable
by David A. De Graaf 30 Oct '10

30 Oct '10

Has anyone managed to configure an openswan tunnel under Fedora 13? The instructions in /usr/share/doc/openswan-doc-2.6.29 may have been correct once upon a time, but are simply wrong now. Someone has judged that simple exchange of RSA public/private keys provides insufficient security, so that actual access to those keys is further restricted by something called "NSS support", whatever that is. Unfortunately, they neglected to tell anyone how to penetrate this extra veil of protection, as far as I have found, thus rendering a valuable security capability unusable by the good guys (me). Can anyone point me to lucid and complete documentation of how to use the "new openswan" system? After groping through random googleisms, I found a way to create the needed RSA keys. Instead of the documented ipsec newhostkey --output /etc/ipsec.secrets one must first create an NSS password, which goes God-knows-where: certutil -N -d /etc/ipsec.d and then ipsec newhostkey --configdir /etc/ipsec.d \ --output /etc/ipsec.d/ipsec.secrets --password <thepasswd> to create the ipsec.secrets file, then move it up a level mv /etc/ipsec.d/ipsec.secrets /etc/ipsec.secrets Then you can display the public key in the usual way ipsec showhostkey --left and use it to construct /etc/ipsec.d/net2net.conf based on the example in <doc>/openswan-doc-2.6.29/config.html. After doing this on the local and remote gateway machines, so they know how to communicate and recognize each other, the tunnel ought to work. But it doesn't. When I try to start the tunnel there's a mysterious error ipsec auto --up net2net ... 003 "net2net" #1: Can't find the private key from the NSS CERT (err -12285) ... and the negotiation fails. Can anyone give a clue how to access this very well hidden private key? Google can't. -- David A. De Graaf DATIX, Inc. Hendersonville, NC dad(a)datix.us www.datix.us

The user switcher applet in the panel on mouse hover shows the tool-tip "Change Account Settings and Status". I do understand how to change the account settings, can some one explain how/of what to change the status. -- Saurabh Sharma Linux user number: 490644 http://sawrub-blog.blogspot.com/ Open your doors.......It's time to look beyond Windows
