FC1: efax: 23:00 Error: can't open pre-lock file
by Joe(theWordy)Philbrook
efax: 23:00 Error: can't open pre-lock file /var/lock/TMP..06533: Permission denied
That was the 1st error I got when attempting to run efax via the fax send
script. I'm not sure it was wise to add user write permissions to
/var/lock but I did.
The next attempt didn't show an error until it tried to open the modem.
efax: 00:38 Error: can't open serial port /dev/modem: Permission denied
I'm also not sure it was wise to add user read/write permissions to
/dev/modem but I did.
Now "fax send" works! except that if the receiving fax doesn't answer it
doesn't time out. (it just sits there with a slow beep pause beep...) When
I heard the phone company recording say "to make a call ..." I used ^C to
end the script. The next attempt was a complete success.
But I'm concerned.
A) Why did I have to modify the permissions on /var/lock and /dev/modem?
A2) How much of a security problem did I just create?
A3) Is there a better fix?
B) Shouldn't there be a dialing timeout setting? I'd rather not feel I
have to babysit it while it's sending a fax...
Any all clues appreciated...

Actually, I updated the docs yesterday. I did mention that we can perform
QoS on incoming connection but that would really mean, either dropping
packets as they come in or severely limitting your downstream bandwidth.
I don't really think you can somehow Shape what your ISP sends you
unless you have access to the ISP's routers etc.
If I am mistake, please educate me.

Boot time error involving mptbase and mptscsih
by Bill Gradwohl
At boot time, on a completely patched FC1 with kudzu off, error messages
appear concerning mptbase and mptscsih. I didn't notice any of these
messages before I ran a yum update to grab all the patches.
The modules.conf contains 2 relevant lines:
alias scsi_hostadapter 3w-xxxx
alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptscsih
This box has a 2 channel SCSI on the main board that currently has nothing
connected to either channel. The 3Ware Escalade has all the drives connected
to it. The Box's BIOS (ASUS PR-DLS533) has the SCSI BIOS turned off, and yet
something has located the hardware anyway.
After the 3WARE drivers are loaded, it attempts to load mptbase and fails
once per channel on ioc0 and ioc1 bringup.
Then I get a slew of :
/lib/mptscsih.o unresolved symbol mpt_blah_blah_blah
and finally:
ERROR /bin/insmod exited abnormally.
I've tried commenting out the mptscsih line in the modules.conf and also
tried alias scsi_hostadapter1 off but neither worked.
I'm not sure what builds the list of things that insmod is going to attempt
to load. What's the correct way to tell the O/S not to attempt to load
mptbase & mptscsih ? If I'm reading what man modules.conf says, then "off"
is supposed to do it, but it doesn't.
If in the future we do need to use the SCSI channels, how do I put things
back?

there are no updates available.

Yes, I just did read it and from your closing statement I assume you do
not longer feel it is a problem. Mail using an address
@localhost.localdomain would only be a problem if one of your MTAs is
sending with that address to hosts outside your LAN.

Setting Up Video Server
by Jon Shorie
The next project that I am working on is to set up a web based video server
using Fedora Core 1 as the O/S. My plan is to use apache to offer a
selection of videos which may be downloaded and viewed.
All videos are ones that we have taken here of our projects. They are
currently stored as dvd's and if we want to view one, we need to find the dvd
and watch it.
I would like for the user to be able to take a screen shot and print it out to
either a color laser or a plotter. (We have both printers currently).
Is something like this possible without some special software. The server
will be only accessible on our intranet so security is not a major issue for
this project.

I wouldn't say dumb... Here is how to assign addresses to hosts using
dhcp:
host hostname
{
fixed-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
}
This is placed after the subnet, range and option definitions in th
dhcpd.conf file. You can avoid this by not including the address(es) in
the range. I do believe there is or used to be a reserve command but I
can't remember offhand. Maybe man dhcpd.conf will reveal it.

Re: Issues after migrating to fc1
by Jon Shorie
I did the search and found at the following site:
http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/samba.html
use client driver = yes
to smb.conf would get rid of that access denied error message.
I tried it and it seems to be working. If I still have problems, I will send
another message. Thanks for the help.
