Fedora iso checksums
by Julius Smith
Why is it so hard to find the iso checksums for Fedora releases? It is
easy to find the .iso downloads themselves, and we're asked to verify them,
but it is very hard to find the checksums! I ultimately had to search the
Web for the checksum itself!

sharing printer fails: Unable to change server settings: Forbidden
by Jackson Byers
Trying to revive sharing of my printer on my F14box,
to enable my wife's imac to print to it;
I had been doing this with no trouble, now back in some sort of limbo.
on an old thread, Sam V responded
> Yes, open http://localhost:631/admin/ and make sure that "Share printers connected to this system" and > "Allow printing from the Internet" are enabled.
I check both of the following:
Share printers connected to this system
Allow printing from the Internet
and then I click on the
Change Settings box
it responds:
Change Settings Error
Unable to change server settings:
Forbidden
is this a permissions problem ?
trying to print from the imac says
the printer is busy
and it never prints.
Advice?

Problems with vsftpd on Fedora 16
by Michael D. Setzer II
Was trying to setup vsftp on a system in my classroom, and have
run into a few issues.
Started the vsftpd, but it would not let one log in with correct user
id and password.
Found solution by adding /bin/bash to the /etc/shells
But then would get error that it couldn't change to users directory.
Found solution for that, but it would not work?
setsebool -P ftp_home_dir 1
That just sits there, but
setsebool ftp_home_dir 1
works immediately, and the value is changed, and ftping works.
But why doesn't it work with the -P option? No error.

VGA Card with Dual Monitor
by Koh Choon Lin
Hi everyone
I would soon be building a desktop for trading with dual monitors (not
cloned). I would like to ask which graphic card works with dual
monitor function (and has 2 DVI output) and is supported by the Linux
kernel without the need to install additional drivers from the card
manufacturer.
Thanks for the help in advance!

gdm with smartcards on Fedora 16
by Anthony R Fletcher
With Fedora 16 I don't see how to enable smartcard logins for GDM.
I have pcscd and openct working and /etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf
correctly configured to use opensc. pklogin_finder returns the right
things and I can log in at the console login prompt.
I have gdm-3.2.1.1-8.fc16.x86_64 installed and this has includes files
like /usr/libexec/gdm-smartcard-worker.
How do I enable smartcard login?
Anthony.

Anyone tried installing Fedora on the EEE 900
by Sam Varshavchik
I've got an old Asus EEE PC 900 model, with the original, ancient Ubuntu on
it, whose fate I'm pondering. Has anyone tried installing Fedora on its 4GB
SSD drive. That should be big enough to accomodate the live image, I'd
think, the only unknown factor is whether the stock Fedora kernel will know
what to do with the funky SSD drive in that thing.

F16 autofs + wireless
by Ian Chapman
Hi,
A bit of background first :) I have a netbook which connects to my LAN
via a Wifi connection and I've configured autofs to pull it's maps from
an LDAP directory. The network connection is working exactly as expected
and receives a reserved IP address assigned by DHCP. The network
connection is handled by NetworkManager and is configured as the default
connection, to connect automatically and importantly an IPv4 address is
required in order for the connection to be considered "successful".
Autofs also works as expected if I manually (re)start the service, it
pulls it maps and I can mount NFS exports.
Autofs is configured to start on boot. The problem is at the point when
it starts on boot it does not work because the netbook has not been
assigned an IP address yet, (although the wifi interface is up).
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:A4:DE:49:42:31
inet6 addr: fe80::92a4:deff:fe49:39ca/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:16
(Yes eth1 is the Wifi interface)
The autofs init script seems to require the network to be working before
it starts, ie:
# Required-Start: $network $ypbind
and in order for the network connection to be successful it needs an
IPv4 address. So my question is, why does autofs get started before an
IPv4 address has been made available? Is there a reasonable way to fix this?
