Random Crashes
by James Pifer
Every so often, seemingly no pattern to this, I get a crash on my system
running mythtv. I've posted to the myth list and have had no responses.
Wondering if anyone here can tell me if this error points to any
specific issues.
Thanks,
James
ps- this is on FC5

Samba smb.conf not resolved.
by hbrhodes
let me re-write what i meant happened. i'll provide more information.
i've been reading the internet groups and i've tried the howto's. i'm
running into an obstable and i am asking for assistance here! I have
FC5 as a server with samba files. it does not have swat, or a graphical
tool. it is a text or base server so i can conserve as much room as
possible on it for putting files on it. This is the same dumping
ground that i've been trying to get my upstairs fedora computer to write
to. i finally got it figured out with some assistance (nfs was turned
off). now i'm trying to get it set up so my wife (or i) can write files
to that computer (Samba Server) from her comupter (WinBlows).
the client(s) are going to be windows XP pro. i'm testing it out on the
one computer with xp pro installed on it now (home computers) and i can
log in with the right user name and password, and i can view the
folders. i cannot write to the home directory (i think that is turned
off ...) and i cannot write to the directory R2314 that i have shared.
the new smb.conf file is smb.conf and the old one is smb.conf.bak. I
have also set up the directory to be written to with the permissions:
/misc/R2314 GROUP rwxr-xrwx
i did this because i found an article that said i needed to let 'others'
rwx to the directory. every time i mess with the smb.conf file i do a
'service smb restart.' I think that is everything! Oh by the way, when
i try to write to the directory from WinBlows to the Samba Server ... it
says i do no have enough disk space or the appropriate permissions. and
samba Version is 3.0.23-1.fc5
i even went and added "smbpasswd -a " and added two users with two
passwords. both of whom have home directories.
this is the new samba configuration file (follows):
#Global Parameters
[global]
workgroup = RHODES
netbios name = Samba Server
encrypt passwords = yes
security = user
[homes]
read only = no
browseable = yes
[R2314]
comment = HodgePodge of Data
path = /misc/R2314/
force user = hbrhodes klrhodes kelli
force group = wheel
read only = No
;guest ok = Yes
create mask = 0765

File manipulation ?
by Bob Goodwin
Can someone tell me how to combine a number of
text files into one file?
I have about fifty open office [.odt] text files
that I would like to combine into one file containing
all of that text. Nothing I have tried is acceptable
to open office?
I am running updated FC5 and have been trying to do
this from the command line, then opening the result
in open office.

squid and dns lookups
by Gregory P. Ennis
Everyone,
Is there a way to turn off dns lookups for local network queries?
We have one of our PC's set up as an internal (local network) web
server. The PC is listed in each of the other linux machines /etc/hosts
file with a local network ip address. When squid is turned off it is
easy for the network PC's to access the internal web pages by putting in
the name of the server in the address bar. When squid is turned on each
user gets the message that it can not be found.
Since the machine functioning as the apache server is inside the local
network it is not listed in the dns servers. When squid is function the
query fails. Is there a way to put an entry in the squid.conf file so
that named queries can point back to the local network even though a dns
record does not exist?
Thanks,
Greg Ennis

OT: FOSS Brutal Honesty
by David G. Miller (aka DaveAtFraud)
I've been in the software development business for over twenty-five
years. Throughout that time I have been asked on innumerable
occasions when something would be done. Frequently, I did not know the
answer but, "I don't know," was never acceptable regardless of how
truthful it was.
With that introduction, I visited the project schedule
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Core/Schedule) on the Fedora Project web
site to see when FC6T2 would be out. What I saw was (sorry about the
ASCII table):
Day Month Event
14 June FC6 Test1 Development Freeze
21 June FC6 Test1 Release
19 July FC6 Test2 Development Freeze, feature
freeze --
currently in day to day slip. no sooner
than 27 July
REPLY HAZY ASK AGAIN LATER FC6 Test2 Release
23 August FC6 Test3 Development Freeze
...
I would like to buy a beer (or their drink of choice) to whoever had the
guts to answer this truthfully and put this up.
Cheers,
Dave

bash-completion
by Patrick Doyle
Does anybody else on this list use the "bash-completion" package?
I installed it with:
$ sudo yum install bash-completion
becase I missed the feature of being able to type
$ set -o ign<TAB>
and have it expand to
$ set -o ignoreeof
Well, now I've got that feature again (hooray), and a host of other
nifty looking features, such as:
$ ssh <TAB> -- to get a list of hosts to which I might want to connect
Way cool!
Ummm, unfortunately, when I start to type something like:
$ svn info path/to/som<TAB>
I get
$ svn info path/to/someplace<SPACE>
I would rather get:
$svn info path/to/someplace/
IOW, I would like it to expand to the directory name with trailing
slash instead of a trailing <SPACE>.
This is on an FC5 box (which looks like it's running bash 3.1.7.

Backup local folder incremental only
by Paul Ward
Hi All,
Quick question for you,
What command do I need to use, to make a backup of a folder tree
containing images and then only add images if they have changed or are
new. I was thinking of using rsync then realised this was for remote
syncing of folders such as repos.
I do not want to use tar but have an identical copy on another disk.
Thanks in advance
Paul
