Folder permissions and Samba - question
by Bob Latham
Hi everyone,
I want to setup a series of about a dozen folders that each have a Samba
share associated with them. Then I would like to place all of those inside
another folder that a super user can access and consequently all of the
lower ranking shared folders below.
I've been experimenting and the results have clearly shown that what I
expected to be the case certainly isn't. I thought I could create the
super user and samba share his/her folder then create the sub folders and
samba share them. I then thought it would be a simple case of setting the
folder permissions to suit the required users but this doesn't work. There
is obviously a bit more to it.
Anyone spare a few minutes to point me in the right direction on...?
1. How to give samba access to a folder that is not in /home/<user>. Or
more specifically not the normal home directory.I can get shares to
work from the normal home dirs.
2. How to get the super user access from above?
TIA.
Bob.

Has anyone successfully been able to install ocsigen framework webserver onto Fedora 9, if so any installation steps, tips, hints, etc.... i am also trying to install sqlite and it's taking forever on the "make" file; any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

The Scope and Ownership of fedora-list
by Chris Tyler
This list, fedora-list(a)redhat.com, is one of the first lists that most
Fedora users join, and therefore quite important to the community.
However, it's a high-volume list (and is sometimes perceived to have a
high noise level), so many veterans of the Fedora community aren't
subscribed.
As the result of discussion at the last public (IRC) board meeting, it's
been proposed that narrow the scope of this list a bit. The current
description of this list simply reads:
fedora-users: For users of Fedora
The proposed replacement is:
fedora-users: Help and support for using the Fedora distribution.
Feedback on this proposed change is welcome.
In addition, this list has been without an owner. Paul Frields and I
have assumed ownership of the list, and we'd welcome one or two
experienced members of the community to join us.

Manually setting MTUs
by Andrew Kenton Mitchell
If I look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bnep0 the MTU is
1691. This is the minimum specified by
http://www.bluetooth.com/Bluetooth/Technology/Works/BNEP.htm:
[root@LTSecond ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bnep0
# Broadcom BCM92035DGROM USB Bluetooth Adapter - Bluetooth: BNEP

DNS1=69.94.123.189
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
MTU=1691
[root@LTSecond ~]#
However, ifconfig shows 1500:
[root@LTSecond ~]# ofcpnfig bnep0
-bash: ofcpnfig: command not found
[root@LTSecond ~]# ifcpnfig bnep0
-bash: ifcpnfig: command not found

Anybody have any ideas why this won't manually set?
Thanks for any help,

Firefox - lost back pointer
by Timothy Murphy
I seem to have lost the pointer one can click
to go back to the previous web-page.
It doesn't matter that much
since I can attain the same end by Alt-Left Arrow .
It is quite possible I inadvertently made some change
in my Firefox settings,
but I see nothing relevant in Edit=>Preferences.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Sony videocam w/ USB
by Bill Davidsen
I have a video camera, TRV-260, which works nicely and has the Sony IR
low light capability. It also has USB rather than Firewire for
connectivity. Any thoughts on getting data out of this without huge loss
of picture quality?
