Apache and umask for document root
by Alex
Hi,
I've set up a virtual host for a joomla website and having some
permissions problems. I've seen numerous configurations online about
how to set umask for the apache user, but none have worked, including
creating a systemd file
(/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service) with the
following:
[Unit]
Description=The Apache HTTP Server
After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target
[Service]
Type=notify
Environment=LANG=C
Umask=0006
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -DFOREGROUND
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful
# Send SIGWINCH for graceful stop
KillSignal=SIGWINCH
KillMode=mixed
PrivateTmp=true
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
The problem is that the files are owned by the joomla user, but also
need to have access (both read and write) to be able to modify some
files within the document root.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set umask for the apache user?
I'm also interested in recommended permissions settings for the joomla
document root.
Thanks,
Alex

SATA optical drives
by David Fletcher
I'm currently running FC5, will probably upgrade to F7 in a couple of months.
Unfortunately my CD/DVD rewriter appears to have died, before it's
even seen a dual layer disk :'(
SATA hard drives run without problems for me, but now that SATA
optical drives are starting to appear in the shops, would it be OK to
buy one of these and get rid of another wide ribbon cable?
Is anybody already running them with Fedora?
Thanks for any advice/experiences.

[FC8] ssh and CAC card???
by Todd Denniston
From what I understood, the change to openssh listed in:
rpm -q --changelog openssh |less
as:
"* Wed Jun 20 2007 Tomas Mraz <tmraz(a)redhat.com> - 4.5p1-7
- experimental NSS keys support
- correctly setup context when empty level requested (#234951)
"
was supposed to allow the Common Access Card (CAC) to work with the shipped
Fedora 8 ssh.
As per NSS usual, everything is undocumented, i.e., `ssh-add --help` does not
help at all, and `man ssh-add` points to `ssh-add -s reader`
# ssh-add -s 0
Enter passphrase for smartcard:
SSH_AGENT_FAILURE
Could not add card: 0
# ssh-add -s 1
Enter passphrase for smartcard:
SSH_AGENT_FAILURE
Could not add card: 1
So does anyone know how to use the possible functionality, or are we reduced
to reading the source?

Changing date with procmail
by Michael A. Peters
Anyone know of a procmail recipe to change the date on incoming
messages?
If the date is in the future by more than 24 hours - I'd like to just
change it to the current date.
If the date is in the past by more than two weeks - I'd like to just
change it to the current date.
I'd like to do it in procmail - if someone knows how.
I've done some searching, still have some to do.
Found some stuff on extracting the date, but not on modifying it if
necessary.

Re: Backing up system
by gmspro
Hi,
http://www.sysresccd.org/Download
With the SystemRescueCd I backed up the /dev/sda6 partition in /mnt/backup/ naming "diskimage"
After backing up operation the file has the automatic extension like "diskimage.000".
Is this file ok to restore?
If I name it "diskimage.gz" then it is automatically renamed with this extension "diskimage.gz.000"
But here below
http://www.sysresccd.org/Screenshots
the file is name like this:
"diskimage.pimg"
Do I have to name with the .pimg extension during backup to restore correctly?
And how can I restore it?

What do you open .mobi files with??
by Beartooth
Something on sourceforge has been recommended to me, but I try to
stick to things that dnf can install. Surely there must be some Fedora-
native ebook reader!

Updated info about disabling tracker related processes?
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I have recently begun to use again gnome session and I have reinstalled
nautilus.
I see that nautilus depends on tracker and so the reinstall put in tracker
and its things
And this morning in my F28 system with SSD disk (I don't imagine on a
normal sata based environment) I had to kill tracker-extract and
tacker-miner processes because they hogged my cpu for several minutes..
Searching with google I found different info about disabling (or at least
calm down) tracker, but they all seem not updated, in the sense that
several commands/services are not present in my f28 environment.
Any pointer about configuring and/or disabling it?
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom
I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora
firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site.
That site will be the place I present services to the world;
httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers"
and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net;
if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the
colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address,
and I am not opening any inbound ports.
There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive
are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html )
and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that
one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have
simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth,
and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the
main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail.
Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is
there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to
break with FC1 or FC2?

copy and paste from mouse when window full of icons?
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
while using "Files", the explorer application (version 3.28.1-stable) in my
Fedora 28 system, I have sometimes this kind of problem:
- I normally use what should be "list view" with list of file names
- if I have to paste a file/dir or group of copied files/dirs into a
location where the page listed is full (no blank space inside it), it seems
that I cannot paste: the right mouse click doesn't offer the paste option.
In these cases I temporarily switch to what should be "icon view" and in
this case I always have some blank space because of how items are displayed.
I select a blank space and then right-mouse --> paste
Then I come back to list view...
Is this a sort of bug or what?
Based on this link
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/files-copy.html.en
I should have "paste" option in menu, but it doesn't happen, see screenshot:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X1ZPYPJ5B8IRDA6T_LL5AfbCD2YFAy6_/view?us...
NOTE: keyboard shortcut ctrl+c and ctrl+v works, though
Thanks in advance.
