installation problem through yum
by Rohit Gupta
I recently installed fedora in our EE HOD (prof. SM) computer and We
are having the following problem.
I have connected the computer through local mirror and everything gets
downloaded, dependencies resolved. It just cannot install the
package.
[root@satadal satadal]# yum install vlc

rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery

top swap interpretation help?
by Dave Stevens
Hi,
When I run top I sometimes see a figure for swap that seems to be relatively
constant. Is it the case that the figure shown is the maximum swap that has
been used?

sendmail "accept unresolvable domains" issue
by Frank Cox
I just physically moved a mailserver across the street to a new office, and
also moved it onto a different ISP.
I changed /etc/resolv.conf to the new ISP's dns servers.
Suddenly I can't receive any mail from anybody.
sendmail[3380]: n2V6Sw4k003380: ruleset=check_m
ail, arg1=<ltsp-discuss-bounces(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, relay=[142.165.72.21], r
eject=451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address ltsp-discuss-bounces(a)lists.sourceforge.
net does not resolve
And so on. Everything is rejected with a 451 4.1.8.
I uncommented "dnl FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl" in sendmail.mc,
and now I can receive mail again.
I can dig any mx record from that server without any problem and I can send
email out to anyone without problem too.
So what did I not change? It worked fine before as it was, and as I said, all I
did was move the machine across the street, give it a new IP address and
edit /etc/resolv.conf. In fact, I didn't even give the actual machine a new
address. It lives behind a router and all I had to do was give the router the
new WAN address.

OT: Network setup - NAT
by Hiisi
Dear Fedora crowd!
I've a desktop running Fedora 10 connected to the Internet via LAN.
There's 3 network controllers in the desktop. One integrated to the
motherboard and two additional. I would like to connect other computers
(two laptops, one running fc9 and the other Window$ XP) to the Internet
via the desktop. I googled the question and found out that I need to
adjust thing called 'NAT'. For that purpose I did the following:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source
192.168.*.* where 192.168.*.* - is desktop' IP address. I want to use
192.168.2.0/24 as a network for laptops. I activated one of devices
(eth1), gave it IP address: ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.0/24 and connected
f9 laptop to it. On the laptop I activated eth0 with the same IP. The
problem is: it doesn't work. I can't ping anything from the laptop
except its own address (192.168.2.0). What should I do? Any help will be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

OK. Thanks for replaying. I'll try the script. And it's a good
proposition about PtP. I'll check it in case the script won't work
magically.

Root Login
by Smith, Herb
All,
This may be a dumb question, but I noticed that with my upgrade to FC10,
the login page no longer allows me to login as root. I'm sure this is a
feature, but the question is, how does one login as root these days? I
can still su to root in a command window, no problem.
TIA,
Herb

burn dot-files??
by Beartooth
I've installed Eeebuntu Base to an EeePC 701 and installed Alpine
2.0 (the only mailer I give a shrivelled electron for). I want to add
the .pinerc, and the .addressbook that I've been tweaking since before
AOL or the Web; but nothing I can find today by way of a diskburner seems
even to see dot files.
Do I have to use scp over my LAN?? Icould swear I've done it both
ways before now ...

Problem booting CentOS 5.2 machine
by John Aldrich
I have a CentOS 5.2 machine that is refusing to get past starting the
System Message Bus. This machine is tied into an Active Directory as a test
mail server. A little Googling shows that it's somehow related to being
unable to talk to the LDAP server. How do I figure out what's causing the
problem? Yesterday before rebooting the server, I downloaded and installed
a newer version of NMAP on it, and suddenly yesterday, shortly after I
rebooted it, it won't finish booting. As I said, I looked for an answer on
Google and found that it's tied into LDAP, but I'm not sure 1) what is
causing the problem and 2) how to solve it.
Can someone here please provide some help? I'm not exactly a linux newbie,
but I am new to tieing linux into Active Directory.
