How to tell dhcpd I don't want to use LDAP?
by Robert Nichols
Is there a way to tell dhcpd explicitly that I'm not using LDAP? Right
now dhcpd is logging a "Not searching LDAP since ldap-server, ..., were not
specified in the config file" message, and logwatch notes that as a
"Config error".
The patches that add LDAP support to dhcpd fail to add any mention of the
various LDAP options to the manpages. I don't want to file a "This is not
an error" bug report against logwatch if there is some way to stop the
original message from dhcpd.

Printer brings system to a crawl
by Mike Chambers
I have an All in One Canon PIXMA MP190 printer, that attaches via USB.
There isn't a driver for this one, so I have used both the mp180 and
mp220 drivers (one below and one above the 190). It doesn't seem to
matter which driver I use, but when the printer starts doing anything,
printing or even just resetting itself or whatever, my desktop is
unusable. I can't even move the mouse hardly at all while it's doing
it's thing.
Is this a printer thing, a Canon thing, and/or USB thing? If others
tell me they have certain brand printers that work and don't have this
problem, only include them if they are basic printers, sort of all in
one, and under $100.
Soo, anyone have ideas?

Installing FC12 on MBP 5,2
by Henrik Frisk
Hi,
I want to install Fedora 12 32bit on my MacBook Pro 5,2. I downloaded
the Live CD but that wouldn't boot giving me the following message:
nouveau 0000:02:00.0 PRAMIN flush timeout
and nothing ater that (similar to what is described in this thread:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=234023). If I added
nomodeset to the boot parameters the system loaded but froze before
when the vertical bars reached the end. If I boot without graphical
interface the system boots and I get a prompt but I can't start x
(result = black screen).
I have downloaded the DVD install instead and will see if that makes a
difference (I found a thread that said it might but I can't find it
now...). I will see if the DVD makes a difference and report back any
findings.
I also wanted to ask advice on how (where) to install. I'm currently
in a dual boot configuration (using reffit) with OSX and Fedora 11
which works great. I want to keep my FC11 install intact until I have
everything up and running in FC12 and if possible install FC12 on the
same disk (in its own partition). Is this a good/bad idea? Would it be
better to install FC12
on a USB disk to begin with (that doesn't seem good to me but I know
very little about these things). I will be using the system for real
time audio work so performance is important.
Thanks for any advice.
best,
/Henrik

itcl i686 and x86_64 conflict
by Gene Smith
I need the i686 and x86_64 versions of itcl. When I install the i686
version with yum it conflicts with the existing x86_64 version:
Transaction Check Error:
package itcl-3.4-6.fc12.x86_64 (which is newer than
itcl-3.4-5.fc12.i686) is already installed
I think the comparison is messed up since it is comparing files of
different architectures which shouldn't matter since they need to
co-exist, it seems to me.

bruteforce protection howto
by Arthur Bela
Two pc's:
1 - router
2 - logger
Situation: someone tries to bruteforce into a server, and the logger
get's a log about it [e.g.: ssh login failed].
What's the best method to ban that ip [what is bruteforcig a server]
what was logged on the logger?
I need to ban the ip on the router pc.
How can i send the bad ip to the router, to ban it?
Just run a cronjob, and e.g.: scp the list of ip's from the logger to
the router, then ban the ip from the list on the router pc?
Or is there any "offical" method for this?
I'm just asking for docs/howtos.. :\ to get started..
Thank you!

Troubles starting fetchmail from init scripts
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I have a little script to start fetchmail, which is activated in
rc.local. It runs perfectly when started from a root login; but it
fails when started from rc.local.
Here is the info:
=========================== Scripts Start ===========================
$ more rc.local fetchmail-start
::::::::::::::
rc.local
::::::::::::::
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
# Fork a script that will start fetchmail for jonrysh in a few seconds
/etc/rc.d/fetchmail-start
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
::::::::::::::
fetchmail-start
::::::::::::::
#!/bin/sh
#
# Start fetchmail for jonrysh
su jonrysh -c 'sleep 5; fetchmail'
=========================== Messages Start ===========================
Fetchmail emits the following error message and fails:
fetchmail: open: /home/jonrysh/.fetchmailrc: Permission denied
What's happening? How can it be fixed?
Thanks - jon

Fwd: Freeze due to Xorg server??
by Antonio M
A friend of mine has installed F12 (that has been fully updated) on
her AMD system with Radeon graphic card, but she js experiencing some
freezes randomly.
So she added some option to grub and situation greatly improved, but
sometimes during operation system locks
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE)

initrd /initramfs-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE.img
I suspect that something is wrong with Xorg, so I got from her by
e-mail all Xorg log files, that are attached.
I can't understand why thereis a Xorg.0.old.log file that is empty, anyway
can someone have a look to these logs and comment them?
Tnx for help

How to remove non-Fedora kernels?
by Antonio Olivares
Dear fellow Fedora users,
Is thare a way one can remove non Fedora kernels manually, i.e, remove
/boot/vmlinux-2.?????
and
/usr/src/linux-2.???
or
/lib/modules/2.6.????/.....
I have compiled two kernels and none of them work as well as Fedora kernel, I can't compile modules against them.
I have compiled 2.6.33.1 kernel from kernel.org, I get bootsplash but booting takes longer than Fedora 2.6.32-9 kernel :(,, it has bigger intramfs? see here:
