Puzzling over NFS4
by Petrus de Calguarium
I use NFS4 to make desktop computer directories available to the laptop to
either sync manually or with rsync. This works excellently, except for some
NFS problems.
I start the NFS daemons in this order:
rpcsvcgssd
rpcgssd
rpcbind
nfslock
rpcidmapd
nfs
No errors are apparent on either computer.
I stop the daemons in this order:
nfs
rpcidmapd
nfslock
rpcbind
rpcgssd
rpcsvcgssd
Only the laptop shows an error, namely, rpcbind fails at shutdown.
*Also*, on the desktop, I haven't checked the laptop, these are not unmounted:
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw)
What is the correct order to start the daemons?
What is the correct order to stop the daemons?
How do I get sunrpc and nfsd unmounted?
Do I need all six daemons to do what I want?

How to set up a DNS server(at Home)
by gmspro
Hi,
Typing this "rpm -q bind" got this:
bind-9.5.1-0.8.b2.fc10.i386
In "named.conf file" I got this:
//
// named.conf
//
// Provided by Red Hat bind package to configure the ISC BIND named(8) DNS
// server as a caching only nameserver (as a localhost DNS resolver only).
//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.
//
options {
listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; };
listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file
"/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
allow-query { localhost; };
recursion yes;
};
logging {
channel default_debug {
file "data/named.run";
severity dynamic;
};
};
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
And in "named.rfc1912.zones"
// named.rfc1912.zones:
//
// Provided by Red Hat caching-nameserver package
//
// ISC BIND named zone configuration for zones recommended by

// (c)2007 R W Franks
//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.
//
zone "localhost.localdomain" IN {
type master;
file "named.localhost";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "named.localhost";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.loopback";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.loopback";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.empty";
allow-update { none; };
};
Can anyone explain the file contents in detail and about named.ca?
And what I have to do in step by step to set up a dns server ?

Re: fedora-list Digest, Vol 59, Issue 163 : Printers
by Croombe F. Pensom
I'm a bit late on this one because I have been in hospital.
I have found Samsung printers cheap, reliable and come with Linux
drivers etc..
I have recently seen the small, black only lasers going for about $50.00
and the cheapest color for around $300.00.
I have a CLP-500 (color), two ML-1610 (black) and an ML-2010 (black).
All work fine except that the older CLP-500, despite what the manual
says, can't be driven in color at it's highest resolution, but that's
minor : I have an ink-jet for photos.

I *could* set dhcp to request a specific filename - I do this on my home machine by creating a /etc/dhclient.conf file containing "send host-name "my host name";" - but that wouldn't satisfy my curiosity and besides, the host name really should be set by the dhcp server.
I'll try adding DHCP_HOSTNAME to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Currently it contains BOOTPROTO=dhcp plus a few other things.
/etc/sysconfig/network contains
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
so the system seems to be ignoring that hostname altogether.

anyone knowing procmail very good?
by Christoph Höger
Hi,
I have the following in .procmailrc:
(on a pretty bad administrated solaris box running procmail v3.22
2001/09/10)
#fedora-devel
:0
* ^Sender:.*fedora-devel-list-bounces@redhat.com
* ^TO_fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com
fedora-devel
This works well in nearly all cases except for some announcements (e.g.
the "The fonts SIG irregular status report" mail from today)
Somehow those messages (although they contain Sender:
fedora-devel-list-bounces(a)redhat.com) slip through that rule.
Why?
thanks

Windowmaker and NetworkManager
by Suvayu Ali
Hi,
How do I manage my networks when I am using windowmaker as my desktop
manager? I can connect to my wifi network using NM on Gnome, but in
wmaker, I don't have any Internet connection. I tried running
NetworkManager from terminal, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Peculiar behaviour of Sound recorder
by James Bridge
Apologies for hijacking a thread - I'm trying again.
I wonder if anyone else can confirm this observation...
I find that audio files recorded using Sound Recorder (in F10) are often
defective, with little bits of sound alternating with silence. The
pattern made by the gaps seems random. But sometimes things work as they
should. I have just worked out a "recipe" for getting things to work
every time (I hope!) but it seems more like black magic...
1) Set Sound Capture (in Sound Preferences) to Pulse Audio
2) Open the Pulse Audio volume control (Applications menu). If you
choose the tab for input you can see the volume control and a vu-meter,
which is useful, but there is no need to do anything provided the meter
registers an input.
3) Start recording.
4) Stop recording and playback - should sound ok.
If I omit step 2 the sound is usually crappy
Why?
