Router logging -
by Bob Goodwin
I'm looking for a Linux application for logging the output from a
Cisco/Linksys WRT54GL/tomato ver. 1.28 router. I've been googling
and everything I've found seems for Windows [Surprise!].
I need a detailed log, preferably one that will tell me which
computer on my LAN is going where so I can deal with high usage
problems. This is for Fedora 17/64 bit.
What do I need?
Bob

Cargo Cult sysadmining
by Javier Perez
Hi
Is there any list of Cargo cult sysadmin practices for Fedora?
I include myself in that group somewhat.
I leave out SELINUX on my personal systems, haven't wanted to test out
whether it was as obnoxious as I felt it to be several versions back.
It would be good to know what has actually improved while we were not
noticing (or were busy doing something else)
Thanks.

Why not start with using the radeon driver which is shipped with Fedora?
Afaik there's no need to setup anything as it's automagically detected.

I use the radeon driver on an X2300 without problems on a Compaq 6910 laptop

Yes sir. All the other machines are Windows machines.

Thanks so much. I am storing this information away
for the next time, which will probably be in a couple
weeks. I just downloaded and installed VMWare on this
new Windows machine.

by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I cannot start properly a fedora 16 machine.
Attached is the /var/log/message, in addition it does not start in
graphic mode
(no /var/log/X11.0.log file generated).
I also tried to relabel and to run SELINUX=0
Thank.

Xerox 3140 Linux drivers (oct 2009) support "Fedora Core 2 - FC10" (?) (!)
by Fernando Cassia
Everything hints that the Xerox Phaser 3140 is a GDI printer aka WinPrinter.
However, all cheap lasers are nowadays (whish I could find one with PCL5... ).
The printer was apparently discontinued last year but they´re still
selling it down here in South America
They provide binary drivers for Linux (dated October 2009) at
http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-3140/downloads/enza.html?oper...
Since I don´t have access to my F17 system right now (I have it shut
down while I assemble a RAID sata enclosure)
could someone please let me know if at least the package provided by
Xerox installs fine in F17 ?
I´d really appreciate it. TIA...

The Windows 7 is working as it is intended to work, but I
don't like the way any windows works since Win2000. In
Win 7 the search is broke, getting to the desktop is too
hard, and dragging a folder or file to another folder is
WAY harder than it was in any other previous Windows version.
The "restore previous versions" is very nice, and I guess the
remote desktop if pretty good, but MS makes too many stupid
decisions for my liking.

Moonlight/Silverlight addition for Linux Firefox?
by Paul Erickson
Has anyone been able to get the Moonlight addition for Linux Firefox to
work? I've have been trying to watch some of the Olympics online, and
after installing the Silverlight/Moonlight extension as instructed
cannot see the webcasts. I suspect MS deliberately broke them for non
MS users. Anyone having any success?

lxdm theme
by Trutwin, Joshua
Anyone have any lxdm theme's they care to share - google isn't coming up with much. I'd like to change the default theme as the huge "Login:" looks odd and also add some custom text. Not familiar with glade3 so any examples others have would be helpful.
Thank you,

Hi folks.
I'm using Exim and Spamassassin at work and would like to add a check.
I've noticed that a lot of SPAM has the recipient in the from header. Does
anyone know how to check for this?
