mandatory access controls to Linux. The Security-enhanced Linux
kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to
improve the security of the Flask operating system. These

Control, and Multi-level Security.
policycoreutils contains the policy core utilities that are required
for basic operation of a SELinux system. These utilities include
load_policy to load policies, setfiles to label filesystems, newrole
to switch roles, and run_init to run /etc/init.d scripts in the proper
context.

What's starting esound?
by sean darcy
top shows 2 instances /usr/bin/esd taking 40% each of cpu.
/usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd 17
I think this is related to my problem where gnome won't start and arts dies.
What's starting esd? And why doesn't the daemon just go into background?

error: %postun(fonts-xorg-75dpi-6.8.1-1.noarch)
by Luciano Miguel Ferreira Rocha
Hello,
Whilst removing xorg-x11 and those that depended on it (by hand, yum
didn't help):
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.60285: line 3: /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir: No such file
or directory
error: %postun(fonts-xorg-75dpi-6.8.1-1.noarch) scriptlet failed,
exit status 127
No reason to fail, and a simple [ -x ... ] ... should be enough, no?
Regards,
Luciano Rocha

Fedora Core 3 Test Update: gimp-2.2.3-0.fc3.1
by Nils Philippsen
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-073
2005-01-25
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : gimp
Version : 2.2.3
Release : 0.fc3.1
Summary : The GNU Image Manipulation Program
Description :
The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image
composition and editing program, which can be extremely useful for
creating logos and other graphics for webpages. The GIMP has many of
the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial
offerings, and some interesting extras as well. The GIMP provides a
large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and
layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions,
all with multi-level undo.
The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the included
scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP FTP site
has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which
includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Some of
the fonts have unusual licensing requirements; all the licenses are
documented in the package. Get
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/freefonts-0.10.tar.gz and
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/sharefonts-0.10.tar.gz if you are so
inclined. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system
before running the scripts.

Updating FC3 via yum/apt with bleeding edge
by Trey Sizemore
I've just installed FC3 and want to update to the latest available
packages (GNOME, KDE, firefox, etc.), new kernel, etc. I've seen both
apt and yum as managers and wanted to know the best repositories to
setup to get the packages.
Thanks.
