Re: [389-users] Questions about groups and group IDs
Do you mean that is missing in the admin console for the groups the extension for the Posix attributes? I have developed an editor extension for the Posix group attributes and can make this available to the 389 project. With this extension you can assign a group the gidnumber and the memberuid's. - Ursprüngliche Nachricht - Von: harry.dev...@faa.gov Datum: Freitag, 7.

We can add users to our test environment successfully, and give the accounts the proper information (uid, shell, etc.). However, 1 area that we are getting stumped at is groups. In our Active Directory currently, we have several groups that we put our users into based on their function. Those groups have unique group IDs. However, when I make a group on 389-ds, I don't have any way of specifying a group ID. I can make a new user and give it a group ID by default, but that group ID doesn't exist anywhere and I can't find where to assign it or create it. Any ideas on this?

Re: Printing directly on DVD
Question: for Epson Artisan 810, what is the tray type? 1 or 2? Where might I go to find that out? Almost-certainly it's type 2. Type 1 dimensions appear to be for older wide carriage printers, and my R1800 uses the same tray as my R800. CUPS prints to CD/DVD fine on both, connected to a DLink DPR-1260 print server here, by the way. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
Re: confused for booting security

If this is the case, anyone can press 'e' and then remove those two line and then 'b' to boot without ever entering the encrypted passwords, then what would be the purpose of encrypting that? It would be okay for trespassers too! In the grub.conf file, when there's a password and lock command above all the boot choices, they'll need to enter the password before they can do anything (pick a choice, temporarily edit what grub will do). It's where you place the lock command that's important, in this case. Like in this example: #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz password --md5 $supercalifragilistic. lock title Fedora (2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686.img title Fedora (2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.i686) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.i686 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.i686.img title Memtest86+ (2.11) lock root (hd0,1) kernel --type=netbsd /elf-memtest86+-2.11 When the lock or password commands are in the boot stanzas, then the password will only apply to those boot choices. If there's some other unlocked choice, they can get into the command line. #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz password --md5 $supercalifragilistic. title Fedora (2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686) lock root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686.img title Fedora (2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.i686) lock root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.i686 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.i686.img title Memtest86+ (2.11) root (hd0,1) kernel --type=netbsd /elf-memtest86+-2.11 The above example, anyone can pick options from the boot menu. Though they'll need to type in a password for the first two to work, the last one doesn't need a password. They can go into it, erase the command lines, type in any command (including ones that will let them boot). Note that if they can boot the computer by some other way, such as insert a CD-ROM or floppy, then they can bypass this grub configuration, completely. So you want to turn off other boot choices in your BIOS. Likewise, if they pull the drive out and plug it into another computer of their own, they can rewrite the grub.conf file without any passswords. So, this only stops someone sneaking in by sitting at your computer keyboard. If you really need to secure the computer, you have to do other things. e.g. Encrypt the entire contents that you put on the drive. Fedora supports this. Of course, you'll need to type in a password each time you boot. And it really should be a different password than you've used anywhere else. So nobody can break in because they've found a way to snoop on you sending your email password, for instance. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

computers just a whole long time. He is also quite reasonably literate.
On the whole he's a good fellow to know. {^_-}
If Wa-La crept in through the transom sometime in the last decade or
so I suppose Joe and I might have missed it. Viola is the French from

Yes, it is documented, but I'm still on the out-of-date Fedora 9, at the moment.

If the password PASSWD is entered, it loads the NEW-CONFIG-FILE as a new config file and restarts the GRUB Stage 2, if NEW-CONFIG-FILE is specified. Otherwise, GRUB will just unlock the privileged instructions. You can also use this command in the script section, in which case it will ask for the password, before continuing. The option `--md5' tells GRUB that PASSWD is encrypted with `md5crypt' (*note md5crypt::).

kde4 vs gnome ... stick with gnome for now
I am an ex kde 3.5 user - I switched to gnome after the 4.0 mess ... With the impending advent of gnome-shell - I decided to take a look at kde4 again on f14 - after a brief revisit I found it to be a look-dont-touch GUI ... :-( In my opinion - it suffers the same basic flaws that made many of us leave in the first place unfortunately. Here's a couple things that perhaps are doable just not obvious. I started with a fresh kde login - I created a new panel on top in which to add the set of things I commonly use. (1) Adding an app to panel which isn't in kde menu not possible. (e.g. user apps - things i need for work, whatever) (2) Moving App icon in panel where you want it - not possible (a) not obvious - basic UI flaw - middle click etc dont work. (b) if you click panel settings and then you can move icon However the icon springs back to the side afterwards so you cannot place it where you want it as it doesn't stay where i put it. (3) virtual desktops widget - the grouping of things by name - terminal in my case - still doesn't work - this was reported way back in kde 4.0 - still doesn't work. Perhaps they can be done - but was not obvious - it didn't crash on me - just found the UI to be 2/10 (kde 3 was a 8/10). gnome is 6/10 and gnome shell i have not explored yet. I'm open still and perhaps I need to invest a lot more time, but for now I'm definitely back in gnome ... gene -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Web searches seem to indicate that the wireless may be an issue. Any thoughts on if Fedora14 works well with this card: BCM 4313 BGN Wireless I have one of those and yes, Fedora runs on it. However there's a few kinks - but not with the wireless. Mouse clicks is the largest one - Fedora (out of the box) doesn't support the touch-pad for clicking. I wasn't able to find a solution to that straight forward, so I have used it with a USB mouse. Also, I need to find something on Fedora to run the OS as a touch-pad - instead of having to click on things on the screen, that simply touching areas with the finger activates things. I'm running MeeGo on it as primary OS right now and it works very well actually. I know there's a MeeGo effort under Fedora right now and once I get on the other side of January I plan to join that effort to help getting things put together for Fedora. -- Best Regards Peter Larsen Wise words of the day: We come to bury DOS, not to praise it. -- Paul Vojta, vo...@math.berkeley.edu signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Re: Partitioning questions
Hi, Doesn't RAID get wrapped in LVM, much like disk partitions get wrapped in RAID? If that is not the case, would you detail the steps I should follow in anaconda (FC14, x86_64) to create a root (RAID5), /boot (RAID1), and /home (RAID5) partitions on four disks with LVM? (1) Create a bank of RAID partitions on your disks. (2) Create the RAID device from the partitions. (3) Create the LVM physical volume on the RAID device. (4) Create the LVM volume group on the physical volume. (5) Create the various logical volumes in the volume group. This doesn't seem to work for me. After creating the RAID devices, attempting to create any LVM partitions of any size results in insufficient space. What am I doing wrong? How can I create an LVM partition on top of a RAID partition? Given that the RAID partitions constrain the size of the partitions anyway, , perhaps it's not even helpful to have LVM for the purposes of resizing anyway? Maybe my approach should instead to be to create a basic /boot RAID1 partition, then RAID5 the entire rest of the disk as one big partition? This reference seems to indicate the steps provided above are indeed correct, and perhaps this is a limitation of the installer? http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/raid-lvm.php I can't believe it would be so difficult to create RAID partitions and use them with LVM. Maybe they are reserving this capability for RHEL? Thanks for any ideas.

Hopefully it can be solved by driver updating. -Original Message- From: Joe Zeff Sent: Monday, January 10, 2011 2:29 AM To: Community support for Fedora users Subject: Re: Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t On 01/09/2011 01:29 PM, Peter Larsen wrote: Mouse clicks is the largest one - Fedora (out of the box) doesn't support the touch-pad for clicking. I have a Toshiba laptop, and Fedora supported the touch-pad completely, right out of the pox. I also have an old, slow laptop (mostly retired) that ambles Puppy and I've never had the slightest touch-pad trouble with it. If you're having trouble with your touch-pad, there's either something wrong, or something very non-standard about it. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
