securing a fedora 12 pc on a lan
by mike lan
Hello
I've installed a Fedora 12 kde live cd on a local area network, that I want
to keep safe from hacking
( specially from network admin. !!)
Is a default fedora 12 install secure enough ?
or do i still take some measures to secure the pc ?
I need also to monitor scans or probes to the pc
please help

Virtualization for dummies
by Sam Varshavchik
I'm planning on taking a plunge into virtualization. I need to retire an
ancient server, and I'm about to order a new kit to replace it. Given that
it's new hardware, I expect to get something that supports hardware
virtualization (it's going to be a real server, and not some
consumer-oriented kit from OEMs that bastardize the BIOS into disabling
hardware virualization), so rather than setting aside a separate partition
for Windows, I think I want to try to run it in a virtual instance.
Hopefully, nobody will tell me that for some reason or another there would
be some compatibility problem loading the original CD of Win XP Home, then
updating it to the current SP3+all patches. Also, can someone clarify for me
how the virtual display works -- would the virtual machine run in an
ordinary window, or does it take the entire display, with a hotkey to flip
between the virtual machine and the host OS.
Also, how does networking work. I'm guessing that the virtual machine would
have an IP address on a separate netblock that the host OS sees as a virtual
network interface, so the Fedora host will need to have IP forwarding
enabled, and other machines on the real LAN segment will need an appropriate
routing table entry.

An recovery partition on Fedora?
by Zoltan Hoppar
HI guys,
I have thought that with btrfs is possible to have an secured recovery
partition, to my notebook - but I don't know.... After all I didn't have any
optical drive, and usually I have only prepaid HDSPA connection - witch
makes me hard to install through net every time, or download recently an
full dvd size data. Btw. I have thought that maybe possible to create an
hidden but bootable partition what includes the image of the OS, and can
triggered to start an reinstall process. I only dream, that could be started
from grub... However, somebody knows such solution?
Thanks,
Zoltan

The above clearly describes your problem.
You have no free space to do another install.
you have 12161 cylinders.
From the 2nd line of the output, which details your disk geometry:
> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders
Your primary partitions (1 thru 4) map fully, all 12161 cylinders.

> /dev/sda1 * 1 --> 4462 35840983+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
> /dev/sda2 4463 --> 4717 2048287+ e W95 FAT16(LBA)
> /dev/sda3 4718 --> 12162 59793409 5 Extended
Follow the "start" and "end" cylinders. Every cyl between 1 and 12161 (the last
physical cyl) is mapped.
This, in and of itself, is not a problem, as long as one is an extended
partition, which it is.
Now look at the extended partition. The purpose of the extended partition is to
allow partitioning to go beyond the 4 primary. Any of the 4 primary can be
designated as an extended. Many times it is partition 4, but it need not be, and
there is nothing wrong with it not being. In your case it is partition 3.
Notice that partition 3 maps from where partition 2 left off to the end of the
disk (i.e. look at the start/end cyls.
The partitions created in the extended partition are commonly refereed to as
"logical partitions". In Linux you may have up to 11 logical partitions.
That is to say, in linux, your per disk partition limitations are:
1 thru 4 are the primary, and among them the entire disk should be
be mapped.
Any disk cyl's not mapped via 1 thru 4 is not accessable.
Any of 1 thru 4 may be flagged as an extended partition, but only 1.
The extended partition can map partitions 5 thru 15.
Note that the 1st logical partition is 5, EVEN IF you did not use all
4 primary partitions (as in your case here).
Any disk in the extended partition that is not mapped by a logical
partition, is not accessable until it is. If you run out of logical
partitions, then it is not accessible.
When the installer looks for disk space to lay down an install, the above are
the rules that it must follow. Therefore it will look for unmapped disk space,
and a partition id (or id's) to map that unmapped disk space.
Now, looking at your logical partitions (with minor rearrangement to make things
more obvious):
> /dev/sda5 4718 --> 5961 9989120 83 Linux
> /dev/sda6 5962 --> 8094 17133291 83 Linux
> /dev/sda8 8095 --> 11918 30716248+ c W95 FAT32(LBA)
> /dev/sda7 11919 --> 12162 1951744 82 Linux swap
Suddenly, the reason for the installer's message is glaringly obvious. You do
not have any unmapped disk cylinders (as I suspected when I asked for your fdisk -l)
What you DO have is a 17 gb linux partition (#6) and a 30 gb windows partition (#8).
Some possibilities that you might consider:
1) using partition magic in windows, you might consider reducing the size
of the windows partition.
2) In Linux, it is possible to reduce the size of the FILESYSTEM on
/dev/sda6, and then reduce the associated partition. It is a 2 step
process (as just mentioned), and you must be very very careful in the
2nd step (reducing the associated partition). I usually use fdisk to
do this. The following are the caveats when using fdisk:
- Since partition 6 is not the last partition, you will
necessarily need to delete partitions 6, 7, 8, and then
recreate them, with a filler partition between 6 & 7.
- when 7 & 8 are recreated, they *must* be recreated with
exactly the same start/end cyl boundaries. Failure to do this
*WILL* result in catastrophic loss of any and all data in the
partition.
- Since the new partitions that map what used to be partition 7
and 8 will most likely be different partition numbers, you MAY
need to make some adjustments in the original os's that
reference the original 7 and 8 partitions (since the partition
id's will most likely change).
Either of the above will yield free (unmapped) disk space that the installed can
then use for laying down a new install.

ignore the immediate above.
The rest is superfluous.

How do find Frequently asked Questions aboat fendora 13?
my linux clock app in linux is missing up my windows clock app in windows: my windows ,my linux. They offset each others time. Is there a solution?
Fendora 13 does not recognize my Vizio HD Tv m220mv; therefore, it is not allowing me enter high resolution modes?
How do i reset the fendora 13 (64 bit) kernel to run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications, so i may install avira antivirus personal on my system without causing bigger problems than I have.

Realtek RTL8192E drivers for F13?
by Dave Stevens
Hi,
I'm booting a usb drive of F13 live on my Samsung N220 to test a
permanent installation. It seems like to only showstopper is wireless
with no apparent support for this chip. Is there actually support
available with updates? At the moment I have no wired access although
I can arrange this. If I can install and update to a working driver
that'd work. Or is there support in some non-Red Hat repo?

I have installed fedora 13 64bit on a HP proliant 180 G6
The setup seems to go on correctly
With init 5, the system stops on boot as if it were a driver/hardware conflict.
Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

sun jdk vs java-1.6.0-openjdk
by Bob Hartung
Hi,
I have loaded Fedora13 without a hitch and am impressed by the
improvements!
However, I am just now beginning Java programming and I am wondering
if there is any substantial difference between java-1.6.0-openjdk and
the sun jdk.
If I decide to remove the openjava and work only with the Sun JDK at
this time, how do i make sure that all of the many openjava related
files are removed?
Thanks,
Bob

Blue screen of death
by Alex
Hi,
As if to say, "F"-you, the screen changed from my normal desktop, with
Firefox, Azureus, a few terminals, and a few VMs running, to a solid
blue screen with just the Fedora squiggly 'F' in the middle of the
screen, and the whole computer locked up.
Completely dead. Catatonic. Unresponsive. Nothing in the logs.
What the hell happened?
This is really aggravating, because it has been one problem after
another, and I'm beginning to rethink my decision on this desktop.
Ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
