access to fedora logos and images
by Bart Kalita
Can anybody point me in a direction of Fedora Core 2 logos?
I've managed to find few in rpms on a DVD and found few more in previous
posts in this group.
What I am mainly looking for are good quality fedora core logos form
gnome desktop ( the ones with "2" in the background )
I was thinking about making some high resolution wallpapers.

Is there anybody who could clarify that point for me??
I've made few wallpapers incorporating Fedora Core Logo
http://astradine.bart-domain.com/Linux_wallpaper.rar
they are horrid at best since I have no access to good quality logos and
making them from scratch seems a bit silly.
Now I do not know if I'm supposed to be looking for a good layer or
continue digging through RPMS in search of more images.
At the end of the day all I want is to "advertise" Fedora Core with no
financial gain and since there are no official wallpapers I thought that
my little "hobby" won't bother anyone.
Hope I was not wrong and that there is a place or a person who has those
images and is willing to share.

smc usb problems
by Nigel
Greetings
I seem to be having trouble installing my usb wireless adapter (smc 2662
v4). How do I know that Linux can see the device?
Also, the file type of the driver was *.o and not *.ko like the other
wireless drivers--is that a problem?

desktop security questions
by Mark McLoughlin
Hi,
So, I was just looking over George Lebl's desktop security paper for
GUADEC[1] and I realised that when talking about desktop security we
make a lot of assumptions about what we mean by security.
Given that designing secure applications/systems is all about trade
offs between the risks to the application and the cost of the possible
countermeasures, you need some sort of basic framework for making those
tradeoffs.
Here's the kind of thing I'm thinking of:
* What can go wrong/what are we trying to prevent/risks?
* Loss of data
* Disclosure of private data/loss of privacy
* Denial of service
* Interruption of work/reduced productivity
* ...
* What may cause the above to come about/threats?
* Escalation of privileges to an attacker
* Execution of arbitrary commands specified by an attacker
* Ability for an attacker to force the program into
monopolising system resources (cpu, memory, file
descriptors, ports, hard disk space)
* Ability for an attacker to cause a program to abort in
an unrecoverable way
* Ability for an attacker to snoop a user's actions
* ...
* What are our assumptions?
* The attacker can not have root access (i.e. any
countermeasures to this threat would be futile)
* Our user is not technical and does not need to
understand the threats to the system (although they do
implicitly understand the risks)
* (Deployment environment assumptions)
* ...
* What are our goals?
* Provide a system whereby the user can easily and safely
get their work done
* Ensure the privacy and integrity of a user's data
* ...
Any thoughts? Useful or not? Feel free to expand[2] the "..." bits.
Cheers,
Mark.

else just reply to the list (yes, that sucks and, yes, we'd really
like to have an external wiki)

Default Application for RPM files
by Steven Garrity
I think that in FC1, the default application associated with RPMs was
"Install Packages", but this doesn't seem to be the case in FC2.
As a result, if you end up with an RPM opened from a web browser or
double-clicked from a folder, you get an alert about no default
application being associated with it.
Is there a reason this changed? Is this true of FC2 in general, or have
I accidentally changed something?
I realize that running rpms might not be the best way to install things,
but it did work very nicely.
Thanks,

Terminal services (LTSP)
by John Alexander
Hello,
I am already set up a server using Fedora Core 1.
But there is some error, why the client hardware (vga and monitor) using the
same driver with the server one? I have set the vga and monitor for the
client configuration.
Can anyone help me?
