F19 konsole --title weirdness
by Corinna Vinschen
Hi,
I'm having a strange effect with KDE's konsole terminal emulator.
I configured multiple keyboard shortcuts to start konsole with ssh to
different machines, like this:
Alt-A: konsole --title machineA -e slogin machineA
Alt-B: konsole --title machineB -e slogin machineB
Alt-C: konsole --title machineC -e slogin machineC
Starting the consoles works fine, but the title only matches for the
first invocation of a konsole. Any further konsole started parallel to
the already running konsole's gets a default title:
1. Alt-A: konsole title "machineA"
2. Alt-A: konsole title "Shell - Konsole"
3. Alt-B: konsole title "Konsole"
4. Alt-A: konsole title "Shell - Konsole <2>"
5. Alt-B: konsole title "Konsole <2>"
When looking into the process list, it turns out that only a single
konsole process is running, maintaining all konsoles.
However, when starting konsole from the command line, the --title is
honored! Looking into the process list, it turns out that, when
starting from the command line, there's one konsole process per
invocation, rather than a single konsole for all shortcut invocations,
even if already another konsole started via shortcut is running.
How can I get the same, sane command line behaviour when using the
keyboard shortcuts?
Thanks,
Corinna

firewalld zone assignment not persistent
by Jerome Yanga
I am running Fedora 19 x86_64. I performed the following:
# firewall-cmd --get-active-zones
public
interfaces: p7p1 p2p1
# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=internal --change-interface=p7p1
# firewall-cmd --get-active-zones
public
interfaces: p7p1 p2p1
# firewall-cmd --zone=internal --change-interface=p7p1
# firewall-cmd --get-active-zones
internal
interfaces: p7p1
public
interfaces: p2p1
After rebooting the machine, my zones are back to how it was before.
# firewall-cmd --get-active-zones
public
interfaces: p7p1 p2p1
How do I make my interface permanently assigned to the internal zone via
command line?

Well, I know how to setup a Samba 3 PDC, with other "BDCs" using LDAP
replication. Fortunately I do not need help doing this. And I was not
asking what is a Samba PDC, I know that, I know MSAD and etc
I'm not asking the IT manager in you and other list members, I'm
asking the network admins and sysadmins about wich products worked or
didn't work based on their real-world experience.
My question is wether a NAS (which one) will be able to become a member
server on the samba NT-style domain, of if it will work only as member
of a real MSAD domain from a Windows Server. Do you know the answer,
I talked about "even a Samba 4 DC" because if someone answers me "won't
work for a samba 3 pdc, but should work with a samba 4 DC" I'll
seriously think about moving my test-lab samba 4 setup into production,
otherwise I was not willing to do this just for the NAS.
I'm even open to IPA, a software I've never tried. It looks like can
replace my Samba3 DCs with advantes, and is well supported by Red Hat,
while Samba 4 is not. Today I'd rather run Samba 4 without support than
learning an entirely new network login solution. But if the new solution
makes using a NAS easier I may change my mind.

For now it only matters to me if sometone tells "i tried with ACME NAS
and RHEL and it worked, but tried the same NAS with Fedora and it
didn't" or vice-versa. I can compile samba myself if needed, or get
packages from a repo outisde the official distro ones.

If I had the NAS box here I'd verify. But I'm still evaluating which one
to buy, and for small purchages / small companies no one gives me a box
for a POC.
I wish information on with products / vendors have a track record of
working (or not working) as member servers to a samba 3 domain, so I
won't loose time talking to those vendors or evaluating those products.
As I said in the previous messages, trying to get this information from
the vendors themselves was a failure, so I'm appealing to the list.
Unfortunately, as nobody besides you, on both lists, replied to me, I
must assume that no NAS in the market was ever proven to work using a
Samba PDC, and so buying any NAS is out of question for me. :-(
Maybe I'll instead buy a DAS box to which I can connect 4 to 8 server
machines using SAS links, and let the file servers running as samba
processes inside linux VMs.

Setting wallpaper
by Frank McCormick
I am running IceWm on Fedora 19....and it has orphaned the background
setter I used to use (Nitrogen).
It was convenient because it opened a window of thumbnails of all the
images...and you could choose one
to be set.
Is there a way to do this in IceWm without Nitrogen ?
Thanks

Re: Disabling ipv6
by J.Witvliet@mindef.nl
(Top posting enforced by my BB)
Here in NL there are afaicr 3 providers that give you native (direct from your modem) IPv6.
I was initially looking at sixxs, but somehow that didn't feel good.
Since long time i got my very first tunnel from HE. There first tunnel end-point is in fremont, USA. Clearly, when living in europe rather "sub optimal",
Now they have more than a dozen different end-points, not just AMS-IX (which gave me ideal latency and routing)
But also UK, Fr, HK, CA,DE, CH,
Just for the sheer fun, i have multiple tunnels to most of their end-points.
No problems at all: just works.
About a year ago i found that my major mirror-site (german univ) turned V6 on.
Without any drop in performance, the 9TB i hold locally, are now rsynced over V6
There are just two minor points:
The lack of endpoints in AFrica and Australia....
Btw, i'm not related to HE, and their service is totally free.

As a matter of interest, how can one tell if an ISP supports IPv6?
This is slightly OT, but I often think I'd like to try using ipv6,
but when I ask I'm given a purely theoretical reply,
which I don't understand, usually involving SixXS.
Are there simple instructions anywhere, just listing the commands to use,
and not telling me how many people in China are using the internet.

looking for xv.
by William Mattison
(Fedora-18; 64-bit; all desktops)
On my old Redhat-9 system, I had this great tool "xv" which I used quite often to "colorize" raw weather satellite images. It made doing that very easy, especially with the three GUIs that let me graphically vary the red, green, and blue intensities independently using the "RGB Modification" graphs in the "color editor" window. But when I launch the "Software" tool on my system and look for xv, the only thing I find is actually just a short script to launch the real xv. How do I get xv for my 64-bit Fedora-18 system? Or does Fedora-18 come with something else with the same functionality? If yes, what?
thanks,
Bill.

F19: automount drives in build from minimal install
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
In my F19 LXDE spin, I am able to mount USB, etc drives automatically
whenever I insert the card. What allows for this to happen? I have been
going up (on another machine) from a minimal install and am unable to
do this. Any suggestions. I am not averse to installing packages (and
I did install pcmanfm for a file manager -- even though the move to qt
is somewhat worrisome), but at the same time, I am trying to have a
DE-less environment.
Let me know if I can clarify my question further.
Thanks again for reading!
Best wishes,
Ranjan

This was not my question. I'm ok running samba 3 DCs. :-)
Have you ever configured a NAS so it would authenticate users from your
Samba DC and them serve SMB file shares (aka network drives) to Windows
desktops?

Are you trying to sell me RHEL subscriptions or help me with my
question? ;-) Anything wrong about asking about Fedora on a Fedora list,
or any server issue is forbidden for Fedora users? ;-)
AFAIK it shouldn't matter, from a technical perspective, if the samba
DC runs Fedora, Debian, Slackware, RHEL, SuSE, Ubuntu, Solaris,
whatever. I am not talking about OS level FC drivers or iSCSI
initiators. Either a NAS will be compatible with Samba3, Samba4, both or
neither. This depends on the SMB and MSRPC features needed by the NAS,
all them application level protocols, not kernel modules. If I'll need
Red Hat support for managing this system is another, unrelated,
question.
If the NAS vendors state they suṕport RHEL, that's not que question
either, as supporting RHEL could mean the RHEL linux kernel smbfs and
cifsfs driver talks to the NAS, not the NAS talks to the Samba DC. Or
else, RHEL support may mean just that the NAS talks NFS and so a RHEL
machine can mount volumes from tne NAS. That's not what I want.
Most times I see linux servers they are simply members of a MSAD
domain, not the DC themselves. But mine are. All vendors I talked to
assume MSAD, and don't know about Samba. :-(
Anyway Fedora is my desktop system and development workstation. The DC
in question runs RHEL. But if this works I can try someday using Fedora
or CentOS with the same (or other) NAS.

At least iomega/lenovo/emc state their NAS runs Samba. And a lot of
less know vendors also. I'll buy a single, cheap NAS, not a high end EMC
rack full of boxes. :-)
But... will any NAS you know work with a Samba DC, or else, using an
IPA server? Or will they only work with Microsoft Windows Server AD?
All vendors I contacted talk only about MS Active Directory. They don't
even know about NT4-style domains, which would mean a Samba3 DC should
work. Besides, AFAIK a Samba4 DC isn't supported by RHEL at all --
that's why I included IPA in my question -- I'd have to use Sernet
packages for Samba4. Even then, Samba4 is very new, I don't know if a
NAS implementation would accept it in place of a MSAD DC.
Most vendors talk to me about vmware, exchange and sql server support.
They offer me windows-only backup servers and the like. Some even offer
me SAP R/3 agents, while my ERP is another one. They can only follow
their standard script for windows shops. So I ask for the collective
knowledge from the Fedora and Samba lists... can anyone tell me "I tried
this NAS and it worked"? Or should I better forget about this and keep
using cheap intel boxes as file servers?
Am I the first linux sysadmin in the world who's considering to have a
NAS replacing some file servers but keeping his samba DCs?
