Re: attempts to hack in? [SOLVED]
by William
Good evening,
Turning off ssh in the public zone, and entering the commands
* systemctl stop sshd
* systemctl mask sshd
* systemctl stop httpd
* systemctl mask httpd
do seem to be working. After three days, I'm still not seeing any
indications in journalctl output of external attempts to connect to my
workstation. I am comfortable saying this issue is solved.
I thank everyone who tried to help. I also see in this thread's
messages that at least one other person was helped by this thread. I'm
glad to see that.
Bill.

Thunderbird 'loading message' issue
by ProPAAS DBA
Hi All;
I've updated to Thunderbird 52.2.1 running Fedora 25 and KDE
Ween I click on a message in one of my many many folders under my main
email account (a google account) I get 'message loading' for a long
time, 5/10 minutes in many cases before the message loads.
Anyone else seeing this? Is it a Thunderbird issue? google issue?
Anyone know of a fix?
Thanks in advance

[F25] Emacs key binding in KDE
by Sherman Grunewagen
Just moved from F21 to F25 and many things are not working as expected (which is to be expected!)
One is the way to get most applications (like Firefox, and KDE itself, to honour basic emacs
key bindings for cursor motions. In F21 and prior I had a little file in my home dir called
".gtkrc-2.0" which contained this magic line:
gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
This no longer works.
Would one of you kind souls share the magic incantation for F25?
Thanks!

F25 nfs not starting
by Amadeus W.M.
Upgraded to F25 a couple of months ago and nfs stopped working. I was
hoping there would be a fix by now, but the problem persists. I had nfs
running on F24 and earlier with no issues, now it won't even start. Both
systemctl start nfs-server.service
systemctl stop nfs-server.service
hang. If I do systemctl start, after a while I have to do Ctrl-C, then
status shows

I googled and I found this answer:
https://serverfault.com/questions/848410/nfs-server-did-not-start-anymore-
on-fedora-25-after-resent-update/848415
which says nfs-utils have UDP support disabled by default and that --udp
must be added to RPCNFSDARGS in /etc/sysconfig/nfs in order to get it to
work. I did that and it still hangs.
I have a feeling this must be a known issue (I mean, really, nfs not
working on a major distribution?) but I can't find anything useful on the
web about it.
Any ideas? Thanks!

DWA-192 Driver no Longer Compiles After Maintenance Update in F25
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I am using a DWA-192 usb WiFi adapter in F25 hence I need to get a
driver from github to be compiled on my system so that I can use the
adapter. This driver compiled and worked quite happily with kernel
4.9.9, not that the kernel version is necessarily an indicator of
compile success. It had been a month or more since I had apply any
system updates, so I did so two days ago, which as part of the update
updated the kernel to 4.11.5, and when dkms went to compile the driver
for the new kernel the compile failed with error messages about implicit
function definitions and messages about warnings having been converted
to errors.
I tried doing a search on the net for a DWA-192 driver and got a
link to github to a driver version that seemed to be the same version as
the driver I already had, but I downloaded it anyway and did a manual
compile of that but it failed to compile with the same errors.
Does anyone know if there is an updated driver that will compile
with the current level of F25 or whether it has yet to be updated for
compatibility with F25 and hence I will need to continue to use Ethernet
internet access?
regards,
Steve

users@fedora getting unthreaded?
by William
Good morning,
For the past several months, I've done most of my viewing and posting to
this group via the "fedora HYPERKITTY" web site
("https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/")
rather than by viewing things through Thunderbird. It's easier to read
and follow, and use (post to). Until a few days ago...
For the past few days, I've seen messages displayed in threads two or
more times, messages that I've sent not showing up, and messages in a
thread out of order. To whom do I report this, and how do I contact
that person or organization?
thanks,
Bill.

Is there a way to stop ipv6 leakage without turning off ipv6?
by William Oliver
I'm using Fedora 25 on an HP laptop with KDE. I commonly use a VPN
service, but it leaks ipv6 addresses. This seems to be a common
problem with VPN and ipv6, from what I've read on the internet.
So, I've turned off ipv6 for my wireless interface, and that seems to
solve the problem. However, I just can't help but think that this will
eventually cause a problem somewhere.
Is there a better solution for ipv6 leakage with a vpn on Fedora 25
other than just turning it off?
Thanks,
billo

attempts to hack in?
by William Mattison
Good afternoon,
(f25 home workstation)
While looking at journalctl output yesterday and today for other reasons (separate thread), I saw many "authentication failure" messages, over half also saying "user=root". I also saw many "password check failed for user (root)" messages. I saw many unknown user login attempts, and a few invalid user login attempts, and some attempts using one of the valid regular user names. Why? I am not yet good at reading journalctl output, so I don't know if these connection attempts are coming from "outside" or within this system. I don't know if I should be concerned or not. I do not intend anyone or anything to be able to get in to this system except for things that I initiate (examples: Firefox activity, Thunderbird activity, "dnf upgrade", installs, etc.). And it doesn't make sense to me that any of those would be trying to log in to this system to do what I want. I also don't see why anything on this system would try to log in to this same system except me personally (su, sudo, and
actual logins). I am the only actual user.
What's going on? How do I determine where they're coming from? Is there really someone or something trying to hack in? If no, what really is going on?
Most important,
How do I prevent connections from outside?
thanks,
Bill.
