ip_conntrack and IPv6
by Trever L. Adams
Well, while we are at it, I do have one very serious request: conntrack
and such need to work with ipv6. Right now, I don't believe they do.
However, the iptables people have a new nf_conntrack that works like ip
conntrack but covers (or can cover) many other protocols. I believe they
have ipv6 working. I was following it closely until about a year or so
ago, now I just check in on it.
It would be nice to actually have as an update to FC3 if possible, but
definitely in FC4.

bugzilla.fedora.us down
by Toshio Kuratomi
Look like fedora.us bugzilla is down again.
Anyone care to give us an update on Fedora Extras (Official) status? It
seems we get a status report near the start of every FC cycle saying
it'll be here soon. The last one, IIRC, said the hardware would be
installed shortly.

repository error in up2date
by Otto Haliburton
When using up2date it fetches the updates correctly but fails when
trying to get the source for the rpm, is this a local problem for my
machine or is it a error at the repository. If it is local where are
these repositories stored. It is not sources in the sysconfig
directory. It always fails on fetching the source only.

Stateless Linux experience...
by Mike Herrick
Thought I'd give this a try. Still in progress, but a couple of pointers to
pass on to anyone who wants to give it a go.
1) First, make sure you get the latest source from CVS. There are a couple
of bugs in parsing arguments that have been fixed (as noted in
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-November/msg00233
.html).
2) Even with the latest code, there is a typo on line 96 of
stateless-snapshooter.py ("--protosytem" should be "--protosystem").
3) I tried this on a machine that initially had 128MB of RAM. When I got to
the "stateless-snapshooter -n -p DemoSystem" step, I ran out of memory:
"device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Cannot allocate memory". I added 128MB
of RAM and still had the same problem, so I stopped some non-essential
services (httpd, sendmail, etc.). Then I was able to continue.
4) Because I needed to reboot to add RAM, all of the files that I had copied
from the 'test' system to /srv/stateless/protosystem/DemoSystem seemed to
have been lost. It wasn't until after I had re-copied them from the test
machine that I remembered the "mount /dev/mapper/VGStateless-DemoSystem
/srv/stateless/protosystems/DemoSystem" command in one of the previous
steps. Moral of the story: add it to the /etc/fstab so it'll be
automatically remounted on reboots.
5) In the /etc/dhcpd.conf file, it refers to "linux-install/pxelinux.0" as
the PXE bootable image, but when the PXE client connects this file is not
found. I copied /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 (from syslinux RPM) to
/tftpboot/linux-install.
6) Because of the RAM problem above, I'm not sure that subsequent
invocations of "stateless-snapshooter -n -p DemoSystem" actually worked as
designed. When I execute "stateless-snapshooter -l", I get:
Protosystems:
DemoSystem
But it doesn't say anything about snapshots. This makes me nervous. What
should the output look like?
7) When I run "python statelessGenPXEConfig.py" after adding the MAC
addresses, I get "Unable to get NFS location of DemoSystem snapshot
DemoSystem-1". I'm not exactly sure where it's supposed to have picked up
the NFS path definition from. It appears to me from browsing some of the
code that somewhere along the line I was supposed to have executed
"stateless-servers", but I didn't see anything about that in the
documentation.
Since the statelssGenPXEConfig.py script failed to generate any PXE
configuration, I generated my own by hand:
DEFAULT stateless/DemoSystem/DemoSystem-1/vmlinuz
initrd=stateless/DemoSystem/DemoSystem-1/initrd.img
NFSROOT=6.6.6.1:/srv/stateless/snapshots/DemoSystem/DemoSystem-1
I then added the following to /etc/exports:
/srv/stateless/snapshots/DemoSystem/DemoSystem-1 *(ro,async)
With these changes, I was able to get a machine to boot from the snapshot,
but there were many errors/warnings stemming from having a read-only root
(and /var) filesystem on a diskless client.
When I finally got the machine to boot, it wouldn't let me login! I suspect
some read-only root problem during the login process that prevented the
login process from completing.
Mike.

Stateless Works! but...
by Carlos Knowlton
Hi,
I finally got a diskless machine to boot from a stateless server!
There are a lot of "can't do that on a read-only filesystem" messages,
at boot, and I can't login, there must be something I'm missing.
Is there a "post-image-installation" document describing how to overcome
these problems? Also, I had to figure out how to use the
"stateless-servers" command to add the nfs/rsync paths before the cron
job would work that configured the client pxelinux files under
/tftpboot. I may have overlooked it somehow, but shouldn't that be in
the tutorial?
Thanks!

A single FC4 wish
by Elliot Lee
I wish that someone would volunteer to collect all these wishes, requests,
and observations, and organize them into a single coherent picture of what
people want in FC4.
Without this, all these points are likely to be ignored because they're
scattered through a thousand mailing list posts across multiple lists...
Anyone?

FC3 DNS resolver issue
by Gianluca Sforna
Hi all,
I am experiencing what I consider somewhat "strange" but probably
there could be some sort of logic behind, due to the great amount of
changes introduced in FC3.
Basically, the the FC3 boxes I am using in my office (a laptop and a
workstation) could not resolve internal names.
For example, I have an host named "trex":
[giallu@molzilla ~]$ ping trex
ping: unknown host trex
[giallu@molzilla ~]$ host trex
trex has address 192.168.1.101
The dns server runs dnsmasq, really useful for resolving host names
dynamically attached to the network with DHCP.
Any ideas out there??
thanks

rescue boot
by Jamie Zawinski
As long as everyone's tossing out wishlists...
In FC2, the boot.iso doesn't have a self-contained way to give you a
minimal shell. If you boot from it in "rescue" mode, it insists on
having (ftp/http/mount) access to the full set of install ISOs before
it will even give you a shell.
I just needed a bootable CD to install grub on a new disk; I didn't have
the FC2 distro CDs around, so I just downloaded and burned the small
boot.iso, and was shocked to find that it didn't have the ability to
just give me sh and mount, or busybox or something, without having
access to the whole enchilada.
