SATA/Gigabyte 8KNXP Mobo
by Dave Bevan
I see that the Intel ICH SATA was 'missed' from getting into Beta-1.
Does anyone know if it'll make it into Beta-2?

GUI for dvd+rw-tools
by Alejandro González Hernández - Imoq
I have been using dvd+rw-tools for a while (before they appeared as RPM
in Severn, now I am using the Severn version of it) and want to ask:
Is there any GUI for this program yet? Google kindly told me "no", but I
just wanted to double check it ;)
If there is not... how are you guys using the program? Just
"growisofs -Z /dev/scd1 -R -J /path/to/files" like I do?
Thanks for the input.
Alex.

devlabel and console.perms question
by Pavel Rosenboim
Hi,
I'm using devlabel to automatically create device link for my digital
camera.
If I connect the camera before login, I'm able to mount it. However, if I
connect the camera after login, only root can mount it. This behavior is
probably due to fact, that the device symlink is created only when I connect
the camera, and thus its ownership is not changed at login time.
What is the best way to deal with this, besides add 'user' option to
/etc/fstab entry?
Pavel.

Re: How do I shut down this ports
by Abraham Al-Saleh
Actualy, they are enabled by default and I believe they are generally
harmless. 6000 is the windowing system and 111 is NFS portmap.
To shut down the ports you would use iptables to drop or reject packets
destined for those ports. However, unless you are using NFS it is safe
to turn off the portmapper (which is what sunrpc is) in most situations.
to drop packets destined for a certain port, you would type (as root):
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport [portnumber] -i [interface] -j
DROP
where [portnumber] is the number of the port (e.g. 111) is the
portnumber, and [interface] is the interface connected to any untrusted
networks (e.g. ppp0)
if you are happy with these settings, type (as root):
service iptables save
to see the current state of your tables, type (again, as root):
service iptables status
Now, to turn off portmap (if it is ok to do this) type (blah blah, as
root.):
service portmap stop
if you wish to permanently disable it use (root...):
mv /etc/rc.d/rc[rl].d/S13portmap /etc/rc.d/rc[rl].d/K13portmap
where [rl] is your default runlevel. 5 if you start in graphical and 3
if you start in text mode (e.g. /etc/rc.d/rc5.d). RHL Severn is set to
use rl5 as the default, by, err... default. I believe there are also
graphical tools for enabling and disabling services as boot time. I
generally don't use these as I prefer the CLI for administrative duties.
But feel free to look. Also, preserve the case on scripts in your rc
directories.
And finally, just so you don't get mad at me, do this at your own risk.
if you have an admin in charge of your network ask he or she for
instructions on what to do. Also if this question has been answered, I
am sorry for this late reply, I get this mailing list in digest form

6000/tcp open X11
Should these be open be default?

bugs, bugs, bugs!
by Bill Nottingham
Just some intro for those who haven't played this game before...
If you've reported a bug, you may have noticed in the past few
days that the bug may now be listed as blocking bug 100643 or
bug 100644. These bugs are the 'CambridgeBlocker' and 'CambridgeTarget'
bugs
What these bugs represent:
- categorization of bugs into relative high and medium priorities
What these bugs don't represent:
- guarantees that the bug will be fixed
Note that these lists are populated at first through cursory
bug triage; issues in these bugs may eventually turn out to
be NOTABUG or WONTFIX.
How You Can Help (if you so desire):
1) If you've got a bug that appears to be overlooked in this
categorization, feel free to nomintate it in the body
of the appropriate tracking bug ('CambridgeBlocker', or
'CambridgeTarget'); then our crack (cracked?) bug triage
team will review it again.
(Note that all bugs opened against the beta are usually given
a once-over within a day or two of being opened; this is how
the list normally gets populated)
2) Look at the bugs on the list, and feel free to:
- perform duplicate eliminations
- verfiy reproducibility/create test cases
- provide patches to fix them. (This option is preferred, of course.)
Bugs may be moved from one list to the other at any time, or
deescalated completely. The chances of an enhancement requests
landing on either of these lists is fairly low.

Re: How do I shut down this ports
by Abraham Al-Saleh
Hmm... I can honestly say I've never seen it done that way. The courses
at the DATC have always said to just move the script from a start to a
kill. (well, that or use a graphical tools. :: shudders slightly ::) I
will have to try that.
