FC5-T3: System->Administration->Authenication: SAMBA testing
by Dan Thurman
Could not get Authenication menu item to come up under Gnome. I am trying
to get SAMBA running and comparing all settings against a good FC4 production
and I am not able to get M$ Windows to see the samba shares. Tried using the
Servers->Samba dialog but it was useless - tried /etc/samba/smb.conf directly but
but again, useless. I can get a Fedora 4 -> to see FC5 share but with no access,
even with "everybody" permissions. Changed SELinux control over Samba to disable
all security context and it still won't work.
When I setup Samba on FC4, I had to setup the authenication and "Enable SMB
Support" which is what I am trying to do in FC5-T3.
Any suggestions or has anyone gotten Samba to work?

Kudzu fails on startup, at line 23 in the /etc/init.d/kudzu
script where it tries to execute: /sbin/kudzu but issues a
segmentation fault. So kudzu fails to start. Manually attempting
to start kudzu as /etc/init.d/kudzu reports the same error, and
manually executing /sbin/kudzu reports a segmentation fault.
I saw a bug report filed and it stated it had something to do
with the nivida, of which I have on my system, and that it was
stated in that bug report that it would be "looked into" but
nothing has been reported as of yet.
I just yum updated kudzu today and the problem persists.
Hope this helps,

Default Desktop Behavior
by Todd Simi
Hi,
I didn't see a reply, so I thought I'd ask again.
Is their a way to change the desktop behavior that open new application
below the one with current focus? If I'm in evolution and I click a
line in an email, I'd like the firefox window to open on top with focus.
Thanks

NetworkManager help?
by William John Murray
Hello all,
I am confused by NetworkManager on FC5T3. I cannot find the
panel applet.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager
says to use /usr/bin/NetworkManagerInfo
but I do not have this programme. I have installed
Installed: NetworkManager.i386 0:0.6.0-2 NetworkManager-glib.i386
0:0.6.0-2 NetworkManager-gnome.i386 0:0.6.0-2 NetworkManager-vpnc.i386
0:0.5.0-1
I also saw something that seemed to imply it was now called nm-applet;
but if I run this it hangs, polling glibc for ever.
What should I do please?
Also, I hoped I might be able to run an MPPE VPN using NM 0.6, but I
begin to suspect this is not true - am I correct?
Thanks,
Bill

I'm concerned that we're thinking too small here. There's more to this
that multiple users on the console VTs...
- multiseat systems (several video cards/keyboards/monitors on one box -
we're seeing more of this now that we have X11R7)
- VNC and NX remote users
- LTSP
- housewide multimedia systems
Each of these are entangled with the console ownership issues. For
example:
- in a multiseat system, different parts of the local hardware may be in
use by users in the different seats. Any of the users might want to use
the disc burner or mount a CD. The user on X0 may be using /dev/snd/*C1*
while the user on X1 may be using /dev/snd/*C2* and the user on X2 may
be using /dev/snd/*C0*. And I won't even get into flash drives :-O
- in a housewide multimedia system, perhaps the console user should only
get ownership of /dev/snd/*C0* while /dev/snd/*C[1-9]* remain owned by
the whole-home multimedia app, which uses them to pipe sound into other
rooms.
- LTSP and NX users may want sound to be redirected through some virtual
sound device to their remote system. The ownership of that virtual
device will follow different rules than the ownership of the console
devices.
We need a table of which hardware is associated which which user ID and
which X display (whether local or remote) and a way of expressing rules
of arbitrary complexity for how the table entries are to be updated.
This table should be used not only to set ownership and permissions, but
also to enable applications to use the right device, e.g., send sound to
the correct sound card, display an icon for a new flash drive on the
right desktop, open a DVD player app on the right screen when a disc is
inserted.

beagle is installed on my system, but it is by default not setup
to run unless someone configures it to. There is no initscript
for it (in /etc/initscript), and there are no services to it to
start the daemon. Also, I checked processes and beagled is not
running. So as far as I can tell, beagle has nothing to do with
it. I looked into the logs and I see that user beagleindex was
mentioned for su: pam_unix sessions but that is all I can see, so
I really cannot say FOR SURE that beagle is running. Perhaps you
can tell me how to check?

Cannot loop-mount with SELinux
by Konstantin Ryabitsev
Today's latest packages.
Cannot loop-mount anything -- permission denied. This should be allowed
(in fact, this shouldn't even require superuser, but I'll settle for
just being able to loop-mount as root for right now -- i.e. old behaviour).
root@localhost:[~]# losetup /dev/loop0 file.ext3
file.ext3: Permission denied
root@protee:[/home/icon/dvd]# mount -o loop FieldTrip.iso /media/tmp
FieldTrip.iso: Permission denied

Making swapfiles and SELinux
by Dan Thurman
Hello,
This is a modified repost from SELinux mailing list and
repeated here only because I was not sure where this message
is to be posted since it is a FC5-T3 issue.
I have read previous posts regarding creating swapfiles
under SELinux and supposedly a fix was done but the circumstances
of this error is different. SELinux refuses to allow a relabel via mkswap.
The steps to create a swapfile is:
1) dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=<SWAP-SIZE>
1.5) New step: chcon -t swapfile_t /swapfile
2) mkswap /swapfile
3) swapon /swapfile
4) Add entry to fstab
A new security context of swapfile_t was added in FC-T3, and
supposedly added to mkswap as well. I have have the latest YUM
development updates for FC5-T3.
Doing step (1.5) above results with a "relabel" Permission denied:
> mkswap /swapfile
mkswap: unable to relabel /swapfile to swapfile_t: Permission denied
/var/log/audit/audit.log shows:

Kdump from diskdumputils package
by Dan Thurman
For the first time, I noticed this thing called: kdump because
when I rebooted my system after yum updated, I noticed that
kdump was reporting a missing dump image and left the yellow
[WARNING] message before the udev appears and x windows
startup.
Question: What is kdump. Plain language please - I read the
technical jargon but still do not know why it is in FC5-T3 and
what purpose it serves.
Question: Can I safely disable it without any adverse effects?
Should I?
Thanks!
