Our Leafnode How-To
by David Cary Hart
OK, I'm a usenet junkie. Leafnode (a tiny local news server) sits
between the LAN and the ISP's news server. It does lots of nifty things
in the background and provides an exquisitely simple, yet highly
effective, RegEx filter/killfile.
Maybe it's just me but Linux news clients don't seem to handle posts to
moderated groups very gracefully. When posting to NANAB, for example,
knode sort of hangs until it times out, showing the post as failed and
leaving it in the outbox. With leafnode, that problem is gone (or at
least not visible).
Leafnode is suitable as a stand-alone, to take advantage of the
filtering.
Anyway (FWIW): http://www.tqmcube.com/leafnode.htm
There are links to the RPM I compiled (the Fedora Extras RPM is
outdated) and a simplified configuration file (the distributed config
seems spectacularly disorganized).
Comments, suggestions, edits, raves and rants are certainly welcome OFF
LIST so that I'll actually read them. List traffic has been rather heavy
lately.

mail confusion
by Jay Moore
I'm using smartd to monitor my HD, and want it to send an email message
to another address if an error occirs. I've specified the non-local
recipient in smartd.conf correctly. Problem is that when mail sends the
message, it sends it as being from "root(a)localhost.localdomain" - which
of course is rejected as invalid at the receiving host.
How do I get mail to use my *real* address?
Thanks

Plans for upgrading esound in Fedora distro?
by Bob Kline
Somewhere around the time I upgraded most of my Linux
machines to FC3 sound from many of the desktop apps
(e.g., the sound clip for announcing the arrival of
new mail in Thunderbird) became horribly garbled and
distorted. Since it happened on every machine
upgraded, including some widely varied hardware
(including at least one laptop), I was pretty
confident that this wasn't a problem caused by flaky
hardware, and that the problem would be widely
reported and corrected before too long. I'm still
confident about ruling out broken hardware, but I'm a
little puzzled that the problem has not been corrected
in the Fedora distro yet. I understand[1] that the
bug is in the esound package, and that it has been
corrected in version 0.2.36, released four months ago
(FC4 currently has 0.2.35). Does anyone know if there
are plans to bump up esound in FC4 any time soon?

Tool to resize the NTFS partition.
by David Le
Hi,
I tried to use 'parted' utility of FC4 in rescue mode
to resize an NTFS partition, but it's not supported
that file system yet. I wonder if you know any
reliable and free software that I can use to resize
that partition.
Thanks,

I have a lot of old interesting LPs which I would love to have on CDs.
If somebody knows a way to play an LP into the PC and subsequently burn
it to a CD I am very interested in learning how to do it.

Installing perl modules on FC4 x86_64
by Jay Curtis
Hello
I am having a problem with understanding what is going wrong with installing
perl modules and then trying to install rpm packages that rely on that
module. When I download a perl module from CPAN and install it using the
standard "perl Makefile.pl; make; make test; make install", the module makes
and installs with no errors. When I then try to install an rpm package,
i.e. perl.MLDBM-2.01.1.2.fc4.rf.noarch from dries repository, the rpm
command fails with:
Error: Failed Dependencies:
Perl(FreezeThaw) is needed by perl.MLDBM-2.01.1.2.fc4.rf.noarch
The files from this perl module are installed in the
/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Storage directory. Do
I need to make a link from this location to some other location so the
modules can be found? Is there a configuration file to add this directory
structure to so that rpm can find the modules? Am I even asking the right
questions here? 8-/
Thanks in advance for any pointers!

DSL, gaim and yum
by Globe Trotter
Hi,
I bought a new DSL modem on ebay last week. Everything works fine, except that
I can no longer do a yum update or connect using gaim. In particular, gaim
hangs while authenticating while gaim provides the following:
# yum update
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: core
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from core: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from core: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to
try.
I somehow believe that this is some setting on the modem which needs to be
correctly set, since another machine connected on a different T1-line seems to
do just fine connecting.
Btw, the DSL modem has a firewall, set at NAT (Network Address Translation
only) and I can do almost everything else just fine.
Can someone please help or suggest what I should look at?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Globe

Re: FC4 does not work, "out of the box" for me; GUI/X11 fails
by David Abbott
I have to say.
Being new to Linux and trying to administer my own system I have had loads of trouble.
Initially with eth(0), which seems to have been fixed in newer kernels and now I am trying to work out how to compile my own kernel because the basic setup to install the Nvidia drivers doesn't work on my Dell Inspiron 9300.
The Go6800 is a pretty standard card. i wouldn't have imagined that it should be difficult.
I will persist, and continue my studies in how this all works.
I am sure it is only my ignorence holding me back.

For fresh installs where rebooting the system after install and before
firstboot, such an option being availble would be handy. At least grub
does make it easier to change runlevels or add parameters to the boot
command when problems arise
With the GCC4 problem that really took its toll on X for FC4 release, it
would have spared users from turning away from Fedora, as stated by some
who were detoured to other distros temporarily. A new set of FC4 ISOs
with all improvements to date should be released once FC3 becomes
unsupported. Sooner if developers or community provided an updated set
of ISOs to lessen the frustrations new installers of FC4 experienced.
FC5 should be a lot cleaner of a distro snapshot. (pure guess) - The
time period between the two snapshots and things learned from the FC3 to
FC4 snapshot which had the shorter time period to smooth out the
installation ISOs for FC4.
Let's hope for a better FC5 and if we help weed out the bugs through the
upcoming beta cycle.

RE: Abuse by Dod?
by Dan Thurman
Sorry, false alarm. I discovered what it was....
It was the Redhat Up2date applet that periodically
is checks for new updates. I guess the dnsstuff
IP reverse maps is a bit out of date and the IP
address appeared to come from the DOD. Ah well,
live and learn...

Errg... I installed Firestarter on FC4 and was wondering
why my HD and network was thrashing around and checking the
active connection page revealed:
Source-----------------Destination-----------------Port------Service-----Program
207.132.177.100 [my FC4 IP address] 443 HTTPS python
I stopped this "attack" by disabling HTTPS protocol in the policy
tab and that stopped the attack. Geez, now what do I do to stop
whomeever is doing it so that my HTTPS is available?
I tracked the network owner and fired off an abuse complaint
to: abuse(a)nic.mil but like this is gonna work. Hmm.... maybe
the Homeland Security is gonna come after me... heh heh.
Does anyone care to know what is going on?
