They have something to do with LVM is about all I can tell you.
Hopefully you'll get a better one from somebody.

But...I found a work-around: Removing

has made GSSAPI go away, and hence the problem goes away too..

How to remove a user. Problems after firstboot crashed on F9
by Nigel Henry
Having installed Fedora 9, I rebooted, and firstboot ran. Entered my Actual
name, then username, followed by password. After repeating password as
requested, firstboot crashed. It was late, and I'm not sure if the machine
was auto rebooted, or just locked up. Either way, when I next booted the
machine (and a lot of stuff skipped here) I ended up with a login screen,
which showed my real name, and hovering the mouse over my name said logging
in as djmons. That's ok, as it was the correct username, but entering the
password to login to Gnome just brought me back to the login screen. I use
KDE, so chose to login to KDE next, and got the following output.
Could not start kstartupconfig4.
Check your installation
This appears to be the result of firstboot crashing when setting up
user/password, as when I booted into runlevel 3, and tried to login as
djmons, I got the following output.
localhost login: djmons
Password:
No directory /home/djmons
Logging in with home = "/".
This is getting frustrating now, but su to root, and create a new user. I now
reboot, and the login screen shows one entry for my real name, and a new
entry for the new user I have created. Logging in to either Gnome, or KDE, as
the new user presents no problems, and can login to either Gnome, or KDE.
The question is. How do I remove the original user that was partially setup
before firstboot crashed.
If I run adduser, It says that djmons is already a user, but logging in as
djmons has no access to /home/djmons, as apparently the /home/djmons
directory does not exist.
How do I remove djmons, as a user from the system, so that he no longer
exists? Then I can recreate the original user (djmons), and hopefully be able
to access both Gnome and KDE.
I've never had such problems before with Fedora like this.
Is firstboot crashing a known problem?
Thanks for any help with this problem.
Nigel.

Well, the question was really how to get ssh working again.
I now know that if I ssh to an internal or external ip from
my home network I get this hang.
debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic
debug3: Trying to reverse map address 168.254.0.251.
But taking the same laptop to work it is fine. So I can only
assume that my home network is configured wrongly. I
don't really want to fiddle with ssh - but will do if
it fixes the problem.
That was why I posted bind.conf at the top of this thread.

'Overlay' in terms of Live CD
by Anne Wilson
Can someone please give me a quick definition of 'overlay' in terms of a
live-CD? I find lots of mentions by googling, but nothing that helps me get
to grips with it. I need to know whether I should set a large overlay if I
build from a KDE 4.0 Live CD with the intention of updating to KDE 4.1.
Thanks

wireshark and single byte multicast error
by Skunk Worx
Hi,
I've been practicing my multicast socket programming and noticed if I
send a single byte over multicast, and monitor via wireshark, I see a
message in the top pane :
Destination port: <port>[Malformed Packet]
...and in the lower pane :
[Malformed Packet: DCP (ETSI)]
...instead of :
Data (1 byte)
...which is what I expected.
The packet length and checksum are ok. The packet gets read and the byte
is displayed at the receiver.
Sending more than one byte is ok, data bytes are reported, no error shown.
Is it illegal to send one byte over multicast?

Problems with ralink (rt73) wireless USB connection
by Colin Paul Adams
I've freshly installed Fedora 9 on the (32-bit) machine, and I
discover that rt73usb-firmware is already installed.
So I went into system-network-config and tried adding the wireless
configuration. It seems straight-forward, but when I try to activate
the connection (I had to deselect the NetworkManager checkbox to try
this - what is Network Manager?) it fails to find IP information.
I checked the SSID and WEP key information (and I have other laptops -
a MacBook Air and a Sony Windows XP machine) working on the router.
How do I go about diagnosing the problem?
Thanks for all help.
