kernel-update freq
by Terry Horsnell
What's the policy on keeping up-to-date kernels on
the repos? It looks to me like the latest kernel
on FC3 and 4 is 2.6.12-1.1381 (dated around 22 June),
and yet kernel.org is at 2.6.14.3 (dated 25 Nov).
I've hit a pile of ieee1394 issues which, according
to the Changelogs on kernel.org may well have been
fixed in the more recent kernels.
Should I build my own, or is a FC3/4 kernel-update imminent?
Cheers,
Terry

BGP with FC4
by fedora.kh@undp.org
Hi,
I plan to use Quagga BGP on FC4. May I get some ideas from those who have used it.
- Is Quagga stable enough with FC4? What could be a problem with it?
- How is the performance, compared with proprietary router like CISCO?
- Where on the Net could i find useful resource on running Quagga and BGP over Linux?
Hope for your kind help.

pxeboot and nfsroot
by Cornelius Koelbel
Hi there,
I am trying to setup up my clientless machine for two days.
THere is aboslutely no good howto for this.
I did it about two years ago, but now it is gone. (I missed to write a
howto ;-)
I do not want to install using pxeboot, and I do not want to use this
stateless project. I don't habe an ldap server...
I got everything set up:
- dhcpd
- tftp
- got my own kernel
- got my initrd
THe machine having no disk is booting fine, loading the kernel from
tftp, and doing the init from the ram disk.
But when it comes to switchroot or pivot_root i run into problems.
The initrd, as it comes with FC4 uses nash, where the mount command does
not support nfs.
So I put several other things in my ramdisk.
The problems I get are either
A) kernel panic
B) or a login prompt without the init from the nfsroot beeing
executed. (Since the screen disappears immediatly I can not see, if the
switchroot was done successfully...)
Is anybody out there, able to help?
I case I can provide all the files.
Regards

ALC655 Sound problem
by david walcroft
Hi,
I cannot get sound from mplayer, sound in KDE,streaming audio (xmms),
Sound card detection works but mplayer is mute with the error:-
Checking audio filter chain for 22050Hz/2ch/s16le 22050Hz/2ch/s16le...
AF_pre: 22050Hz/2ch/s16le
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound
How do you 'open/initialize' a sound device.
The chip is an 'RealTek ALC655 (VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97'

Hi all,
Can one of you recommend the best graphical FTP client for FC4 that is available
as open source and is available as an rpm?
Tnx

RE: playing audio CDs on FC4

If the sound card is an onboard one, the motherboard will have the plug
on it somewhere. Time to find the manual :)

OK, I popped the case. There's no soundcard in the PCA slots so it must
be on the motherboard somewhere.... I don't have a clue where to
connect that CD cable. My dealer said this machine used a newer
architecture but it can't be that new! Are there any linux settings or
linux cd-playing software that get around this problem?

VMWare + Latest Kernel
by Edward Dekkers
Below a log of vmware building the vmnet module and failing. This has
worked up until my latest update. Don't bother with the URL links, as
I've tried them and one is a page not found the other has no
troubleshooting. Does one of the programmers on this list know what this
is? The newsgroup link from the page seems to be broken also.

SSH on Multiple ports Fedora Core 4
by John Gallagher
I have created a separate config file for SSH to run and listen on another
port (for example: 5000 RSA connections only). I created another init
script called sshd-ext in /etc/init.d (Minor Modifications see file below).
I created file to call the new config in /etc/sysconfig/sshd-ext.
All seems to work fine except I get errors in the security logs. Which I
have seen from others post on the Fedora forum.
Nov 28 12:26:58 vpn sshd[26691]: error: Bind to port 5000 on 0.0.0.0 failed:
Address already in use.
Nov 28 12:35:42 vpn sshd[26691]: Received signal 15; terminating.
I edited the conf file and specified the IP Address of the interface to use
for this config:
Port 5000
#Protocol 2,1
ListenAddress 10.200.16.10
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::
I verified the original sshd_confid was only listening on 0.0.0.0 and not ::
The problem is ssh seems to use the same PID for both processes and always
wants to bind on port 22 for some reason. If I restart one of the processes
it can and sometimes does kill the other process.
service sshd restart will kill the process started as sshd-ext.
I also run the same config on FC1 and I have do not have these issues.

That's a neat way of getting back to current input.

For me, they both do the same thing, delete the left char.
I want del to delete the char underneath the cursor.
(Note: this problem in gnome terminal only.)
