Shared encrypted filesystem
by Bill Davidsen 26 Feb '11

26 Feb '11

Any thoughts on remote mounting a filesystem securely? Clearly I could just export it and count on the encryption in the WiFi and the VPN to protect the data, but that leaves it mounted in clear on the server. I looked at putting the data in a file mounted with cryptoloop on the client, which works, or creating a loop device and then having that be a LUKS device. I haven't tried that last one, but my notes say I did create a local loop/LUKS device for a demo, so I suppose it could happen. Is there some simple and common additional method I've missed? The file is "shared" at various locations, but it would work if only one client at a time could access it, writes are rare, even needing access is unusual, but it does happen. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Yum's database and configure, ..., make install
by Suresh Govindachar 26 Feb '11

26 Feb '11

Hello, On Fedora-14: 1) if I install things by "configure; make ; make test; make install", will yum automatically know how the system has changed? If not, how does up update yum's database to reflect the changes? 2) Similar question for perl modules (perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install). 3) Similar question for "make uninstall" Thanks, --Suresh

Extending snmp
by Donald Russell 26 Feb '11

26 Feb '11

I'm thinking of adding some function to snmp and it seems I can call custom scripts based on specific OIDs... My question is, how do I know which OID number hierarchy I can use so I don't conflict with other MIBs? And where can I find information on coding my own MIB so my snmp reads/writes can use more meaningful references? Thanks -- --- Hey! Hey! You! You!

HELP! Can't compile a program or an RPM due to a missing .pc file
by John Aldrich 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

I'm trying to build/compile a new RPM of the latest and greatest PAN newsreader, but I can't even get the tarball to compile because it's complaining about a missing gmime. Now I've *got* gmime installed and it's newer than the minimum version, but the gmime.pc file is missing and I don't know enough to create it. How do I fix this problem??? Thanks!

LDAP/SASL/GSSAPI
by Trever L. Adams 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

Hello everyone, I am having some difficulty. I am using dovecot. I have it working with LDAP as the backend for userdb. Unfortunately, the LDAP I am using is now requiring SASL binds (GSSAPI/Kerberos is what I am going for). Dovecot uses OpenLDAP/Cyrus SASL (at least in Fedora). I can't seem to be able to convince it to use a keytab with service principals. It keeps trying to look in a KRB5CCNAME cache file or the standard one for each user. This is fine, other than I am not sure how to get a non-expiring ticket that way. So, this is all LDAP client, not server. Anyone have any ideas?

If your Dellhas a Broadcom hybrid bcm43xx you might find the modules package at rpmfusion. kmod-wl-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64-5.60.48.36-2.fc14.1.x86_64.rpm broadcom-wl-5.60.48.36-1.fc13.noarch.rpm They are not open source -- they work for me. -J From: Suresh Govindachar <sgovindachar(a)yahoo.com> To: users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Cc: Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 10:38 PM Subject: FC14 Live CD and wireless connection to the internet Hello, Neither Fedore-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso nor Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso on a laptop seemed to detect the wireless network.

Perl in FC14-KDE, but why missing in FC14-GNOME?
by Suresh Govindachar 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Hello, I tried both Fedore-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso and Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso. I thought perl 5.12 was in every FC14, but it turned out that while FC14-KDE has perl (5.12), "which perl" returned nothing in the default FC14. How come? Thanks,
