MyDoom
by Gene C.
The Red Hat mailing lists have always been pretty good about filering out spam
and viruses. However, this MyDoom thing looking like it is sneaking through.
looking at the message headers, it appears to me that Red Hat external
sendmail may be set up to accept mail from the outside without filtering if
it is from a valid @redhat.com user.
I have not taken a look at these messages except for the last one but it
appears that it is faking out the Red Hat sendmail server by telling it the
host is redhat.com even if the ip address and reverse lookup do not match.
Besides using lots of bandwidth, this one must be driving all of the ISPs and
companies nuts if it is getting through Red Hat's systems given prior history
of being able to block this stuff. Lots of aggravation of lots of folks.
BTW, should this stuff be cleaned from (removed from) the archives since it is
archiving lots of copies of of this virus which could bite unwary users.

Fedora Bug Day Tomorrow: Feb 4th 2004: the strings they are a'changin'
by Jef Spaleta
What: Fedora Bug Day: Triage text strings before the
feb 13 string change freeze
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/
Basically that means finding bugreports that talk about bugs in user
visible text that would need to be retranslated if fixed. Bugs of this
type can be marked with a bugzilla keyword to make it easier for
developers to find and fix. Simple typos don't count. More like a
change in meaning. Only components translated by Red Hat/Fedora
translation teams are effected:
anaconda, anaconda-online-help, authconfig, autorun, chkconfig,
comps-po, firstboot, hwbrowser, initscripts (and any messages from the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/* scripts), kudzu, libuser, redhat-artwork, redhat-
menus, rhgb, setuptool, sndconfig, specspo, switchdesk, system-config-*,
system-logviewer, system-switch-mail, up2date, usermode
Why:
Because you are going to kick yourself if you find
a text string that could be reworded after the string change deadline,
and its too late to fix.
Who:
Pretty much everyone. If you have a little time to spare, and want to
help make it easier for the developers by helping organize the untamed
sea of bugreports in bugzilla, then triage just might be for you. You
don't need to code(though if you can, patch submissions are always
welcome), you just need a web browser and an account at bugzilla.redhat.
com. An irc client or email client would help too...since you probably
want to try to communicate to the other triagers either on irc on the
fedora-bugs channel at freenode, or in the mailinglist at duke.
https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/fedora-triage-list/
How:
1)scan through the list of open bugs in components affected by the
string freeze deadline via this handy-dandy url:
http://tinyurl.com/3g4bz (there's only 1763 bugs in the list)
2)if you find a bug report about a text string that could affect
translations if fixed... jump into the #fedora-bugs channel on freenode
and catch a triager's attention about the bug, or post an email to the
triage list https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/fedora-triage-list/.
3)Don't be discouraged if you don't find any text string related bugs
that need triaging. You can still help out tomorrow by getting involved
in the general fedora triage efforts in irc or the triage mailinglist OR
pick your favorite package waiting for initial QA at fedora.us (http://
www.fedora.us/QA - 340 packages are in that list!) and get the ball
rolling towards publication:

Installing on SATA drives?
by Douglas Kilpatrick
I'm putting together a new opteron box, and have two SATA drives hanging
off a SIS controller. ("Silicon Image Sil3114 SATA RAID controller"
How do I install the x86-64 test release on this? The install kernel
doesn't seem to recognize the controller, and I didn't see the driver
listed. I presume I'll have to make a driver disk? How do I do that?

Please do NOT hijack foreign threads! Reply mail contain reference
header tags and thus your mail references to a total different
thread/subject.
Test versions of Fedora are freezed development states (the development
tree was formerly known as rawhide).

For fedora, did you disable NPTL?
For the sapdb 7.4 rpm's you need to patch the /etc/init.d/sapdb74
script: the 3rd line under the start) header should read:
su - -c "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5; $X_SERVER start" sapdb

SuSE has this stuff working reasonably, at least with the Adaptec
1210SA thing that I got stuck with (Sil3112). You need their Patch CD
which came out about a week ago to boot up and install. [Still
considering whether I should just stick with SuSE or wait for Fedora
to catch up.]

NB: I'm on the digestified version of the list.

Gnome problems in rawhide
by Marcus Schuetz
I am yummified up to date on rawhide and have a few problems with Gnome.
Now I know it's in flux currently so maybe some (or all) may go away,
but maybe some of the problems slipped in during the process. So perhaps
somebody can verify that I am not the only one seeing these (I looked
through bugzilla and couldn't find anything):
1. Files deleted (or Moved to Trash) from Nautilus don't end up there.
Trash remains empty.
2. My windows partition no longer shows up on the desktop. Neither is it
present under 'My Computer' nor are my CD-ROM drives or my floppy drive.
The only thing there is Filesystem and Network.
3. Gnome sound is not working. I get quite a few 'Unable to connect to
UNIX socket /tmp/.esd/socket' messages in my .xsession-errors at startup
and whenever I call esd related programs. NOTE: other sound (xine, etc.)
works.
4. Here I don't know if it is a Gnome problem per se: I am running
gdesklets and it now complains that it can't load EWMH support so they
appear on top on everything else. Is it a gdesklets problem or did it
get introduced with the recent gnome updates?

Isn't it better to update the page right now to say "delayed for unknown
days",
to prevent a flood of "Where is FC2test1 ? It is supposed to appear today !"
questions ?
