Can anyone post a working pppd config?
by johhny_at_poland77
I just need a "temporary" pppoe server, that only uses PAP
___Can someone post a howto, just in a few lines, what to do?___
If I just do "pppd require-pap" then it gives this error:
pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
pppd: but I couldn't fin any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
pppd is by default installed. and there are just a few modifications needed to start it with only using PAP auth..
what am I missing?
It's not needed, that the clients actually log in through pppoe, I just need a pppoe server that enforces PAP, so that we could get the passwords of the clients...
Thank you in anticipation..!!

Is the Network Manager installed by default when Fedora 14 is installed by a Live CD I installed using a Live CD?
by Varuna Seneviratna
Is the Network Manager installed by default when Fedora 14 is
installed by a Live CD
I installed using a Live CD.
According to the Faq at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager under the Question
Command Line Way it is said to give the command "su -c '/sbin/service
NetworkManager start " to start the service But When given the command
at the terminal no message of any sort appears and even not the prompt
appears what appears is as below
Quote:
su -c '/sbin/service NetworkManager start

/Quote
After The command a less than symbol appears and it stays that way
without nothing changing.
How to know whether the Network Manager is Installed, whether is it working?

F14: Latest virt-manager 0.8.7-2 fills message log
by Corinna Vinschen
Hi,
The latest update to virt-manager, release 0.8.7-2.fc14, introduced some
problem I didn't have before. For some reason my message logs are
fiulled up with messages like this:
libvirtd: 13:13:38.083: error : interfaceGetXMLDesc:355 : internal error
could not get interface XML description (netcf: NETLINK socket operation
failed - couldn't find ifindex for interface `br0:1`)
As soon as virt-manager runs, this message fills up the message log
pretty fast, one message per second.
Yes, I have an interface br0:1, but it's not used by any of the virtual
machines and it's not mentioned in any configuration so I have no idea
why virt-manager is suddenly keen to get hold of the interface. None of
the older virt-manager versions I used so far has shown any interest in
this interface, nor did any of them log such a message.
I even tried to add this interface to the libvirt configuration, but
the GUI doesn't accept an interface with a colon in its name.
So, what I did for now is to downgrade virt-mananger to version
0.8.5-1.fc14, but I would be more confident if I
1) knew why this message is geenrated now and
2) how to avoid it.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Corinna

Fedora14: udev and $tempnode
by Terry Barnaby
Hi,
I am trying to get the Xilinx FPGA tools USB cables running under Fedora14
and have come up against a problem. The Xilinx system includes
a udev rules file that has a line entry like:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03fd",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="000d", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -v -t fx2 -I
/usr/share/xusb_emb.hex -D $tempnode"
After a bit of debugging, when I plug in the USB device the rule gets
activated but the value of $tempnode is "" (ie null string). The udev
documentation states that this gets filled in with the name of a temporary
device node....
Any ideas on why this is not happening with F14 (it works fine under RHEL5).
Cheers

iptables questions
by JD
I have instrumented my iptables to log all DROP'ed packets.
I have a huge plethora of packets dropped from these
3 IP addresses:
74.125.127.109
72.14.213.109
74.125.53.109
and all of them are from source port 995, which
is the secure POP3 port used by Thunderbird.
All 3 IP addresses belong to google.
nslookup reports
109.127.125.74.in-addr.arpa name = pz-in-f109.1e100.net
109.213.14.72.in-addr.arpa name = pv-in-f109.1e100.net.
109.53.125.74.in-addr.arpa name = pw-in-f109.1e100.net
I am having no problems retrieving my email at all.
TB works just fine.
All 3 addresses belong to google.
Just do whois 1e100.net
So why would the google mail server send me unsolicited packets?
As I said, I am having no problems sending/receiving email.
Cheers,

Separate /usr partition
by Robert Nichols
I just noticed that ever since Fedora 11 the Installation Guide
recommends against having a /usr partition separate from the root file
system (though as recently as Fedora 12 the Example Usage still showed a
separate /usr). I've always used a separate /usr kept mounted read-only
except when necessary for updates. I was wondering just what sort of
"boot process becomes more complex" issues I've been fortunate enough to
avoid, and whether the reasons for that recommendation have become
stronger in more recent releases.
