Re: [389-users] Announcing 389 Directory Server 1.2.8 Alpha 1 for testing

2011-01-25 Thread Jeremy A. Mates
2011/1/25 Rich Megginson rmegg...@redhat.com:
 The 389 team is pleased to announce the availability for testing of
 Alpha 1 of version 1.2.8.  This release contains many bug fixes.  On
 those platforms which have OpenLDAP built with Mozilla NSS crypto
 support (Fedora 14 and later), the packages are built with OpenLDAP
 instead of the Mozilla LDAP C SDK.

389-ds-base-1.2.8-0.1.a1.el5 will still hang randomly due to
production LDAP traffic, though seems more resilient than the 1.2.7
version (and more prone never to shutdown when it does wedge? Still
trying out variations of traffic load and backup runs (no MMR in the
mix, yet)). Do you need more strace logs or maybe gdb dumps?

[389-users] HOW TO INSTALL NEW INTERMEDIATE CA CERTIFICATES ON 389 DS

2011-01-25 Thread Tim Weichel
All,
I have installed 389 servers and in the process of requesting new 4 year SSL 
certificates for my servers. To do so Verisign is only accepting 2048-bit and 
higher CSR's only for 3 year certificates.
No problem I manually created a new CSR with 2048 bits using openssl, received 
my new cert from verisign and have installed it successfully.

Now that I have the new cert installed and SSL configured and my pin.txt file 
in place I find that upon start-up of the directory service the certificate 
will not properly verify and the startup fails.

Based on the VeriSign advisory AD220 
(https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/ssl-certificates-support/index?page=contentid=AD220)
It appears that I need to update the directory servers VeriSign intermediate 
certificates in order to properly validate my new 2048 cert upon startup.
My new certificate came with the notice also as follows: In order for your 
VeriSign SSL Certificate to function properly, NEW Primary and Secondary 
VeriSign Intermediate CA Certificates must be installed.

So has anyone actually updated or installed the new primary and secondary 
intermediate CA certificates.
The usual methods of certutil command and the Management Console wizard have 
all failed to install the provided intermediate CA bundle provided by VeriSign.
Also I am not running Apache, I only have the 389 Management Console serving 
web for the servers.

Thanks appreciate your assistance. Love the list server you guys 
ROCK!.Tim

Yes, these are debugging statements. They may slow the process somewhat but

iptables and NAT

2011-01-25 Thread Jatin K

Dear All

I'm trying to configure iptables with Network Address Translation

Scenario is like

server 1 with IP address 192.168.131.131 is running httpd

server 2 with two NIC, one is  xx.xx.xx.xx ( live ip ) and another is 
192.168.131.133,


---
I run following command on server 2 ( which is going to be acting as 
firewall  )


iptables -t NAT -A PREROUTING -d xx.xx.xx.xx -J DNAT --to-destination 
192.168.131.131


but it ends with following error

iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not 
exist (do you need to insmod?)

Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

--Following are some details of my server
*uname -r *

2.6.18-194.32.1.el5



*lsmod | grep ip *

ip_tables17029 0
x_tables 17349 1 ip_tables

Can anyone guide me ??? whats going wrong with it ? how to resolve this

Although it might seem so, but they might not be entirely independent.


yes I know they use LaTeX to render something but they can work also
without LaTeX so if someone want these tools is forced to install LaTeX
as well.


Now I've already installed texlive but not through yum and I'm wondering
why the rpm for these packages not really related to LaTeX and in
any case working also without LaTeX can't check for the bins instead of
the whole package.



That is how rpm (or any other package manager works). Checking for
binaries can be ambiguous as some package might not place the binaries
in the path the package manager might check.


uhm this is not convincing me, to avoid misplaced binaries there are
several methods, where, which, the only mandatory point is to have the
binaries you are looking for in the PATH that is not such a big issue
since I'm supposing you want to use them.

I think this is just an issue of laziness since it is easier to have
hard dependencies and let the rpm dbms to deal with them rather than to
check real dependencies thoroughly.


Is there a way for forcing their installation without installing
texlive?



If you don't mind the disk space taken by the rpm version of texlive,
you can solve the problem with setting your environment variables
appropriately. This is how I get around this issue:


I know about this possibility but I'd prefer to save 200Mb and to have a
cleaner installation.

Thanks for the advice

Get the rpm package of a2ps and install it with

And see if a2ps works.

BTW why do you want a2ps it is quite obsolete now for it is unable to
handle utf-8 encodage.

On F14.

Kernel configuration:
$ less /boot/config-*
search for NAT

If configured as modules, see kernel modules:
$ less /lib/modules/2.6.*/modules.dep
search for nat (or nf_nat)

Test:
# modprobe nf_nat

Other config files:
# less /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config

Also /proc fs.

Help test extras installer

2011-01-25 Thread Chris Smart
In case anyone's interested, please help me test the new Kororaa bash
extras installer script for Fedora. Essentially, I’ve merged the
original Flash and NVIDIA driver installers into a new bash script,
which also handles AMD’s fglrx driver. It supports KDE, GNOME as well
as console, and if you don't have the required repositories it can
configure these for you too.

It’s now ready for testing, so please test it out and let me know if
you have any problems!

wget http://kororaa.org/files/add-remove-extras.sh
chmod a+x add-remove-extras.sh
sudo ./add-remove-extras.sh

And feel free to fix my horrible bash, if you feel so motivated! ;-)

See http://ur1.ca/30a0g

Thanks,
Chris

 Besides the NAT rule, you'll need a forward rule (as that traffic is not
 for the machine hosting the firewall).  I think you'll need something like:

 iptables -A FORWARD -d 192.168.131.131 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

 ...and of course check the firewall on the web-server to allow incoming
 TCP/80.

I've done the following

[1]echo 1  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ( enabled ip forwarding )


[2]iptables -A FORWARD -d 192.168.131.131 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

[3]iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d xx.xx.xx.xx -p tcp --dport 80 -j 
DNAT --to-destination 192.168.131.131

port 80 is opened on the web server  I'm able to access the web -page 
from internal systems as well as from the firewall it self through elinks
but not able to access the web-page from Internet ( means firewall 
system is not forwarding the packets to the web server )

I've also tried following rule in firewall for SNAT

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.131.131 -j SNAT --to-source 
xx.xx.xx.xx

but it fails

what do  I need to check further  what other configuration do I need ??

To test the NAT rule, you'd have to make an incoming connection through
that network.  You could use an outside proxy.  Or, you could go to one
of the HTML validator sites, and ask it to validate your homepage.
That's a simple check, without having to set up anything special.

e.g. Visit http://validator.w3.org/ and give it the address to your
website (your IP address that you've not being telling us).

 To test the NAT rule, you'd have to make an incoming connection through
 that network.  You could use an outside proxy.  Or, you could go to one
 of the HTML validator sites, and ask it to validate your homepage.
 That's a simple check, without having to set up anything special.

 e.g. Visit http://validator.w3.org/ and give it the address to your
 website (your IP address that you've not being telling us).

I've tested this function through other ISP  ( from my other branch ) 
 and also checked it from my phone on 3G network

Then, you've got several things to think about:

Firewall.  Is it getting in the way, before or after the NAT rule?

Is there something before your computer (e.g. a modem/router)?  Does it
need configuring to let it through.

Is your webserver listening for connections on all interfaces?

Once you get it going, I'd go back and refine your NAT rule.  Do you
want all ports to be NATed through, or just port 80?

By way of example, I've just copied (below) a few rules that I have on
an old Fedora box, back from when I was using dial-up.  Those narrowed
down connections to only TCP, particular TCP port numbers, particular
interfaces, and/or particular source addresses.


iptables --table nat --append PREROUTING --protocol tcp --destination-port 80 
--jump DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.1:80

iptables --table nat --append PREROUTING --protocol tcp --in-interface ppp+ 
--source 2.3.4.5 --destination-port 80 --jump DNAT --to-destination 
192.168.1.1:80

iptables --table nat --append PREROUTING --protocol tcp --in-interface ppp+ 
--source 0.0.0.0/0 --destination-port 443 --jump DNAT --to-destination

What log level did you use?  What error messages did you see when you

To stop it, I must kill the process and remove the pid file. Then I 
could start it.

This problem is very similar to this post :

Although I have the last version of 389-DS.
Are you sure this is the correct post you wanted to refer to?  Because 
this is a patch commit for a fix when moving the changelog directory - 
did you move the changelog directory?  Because you did not mention it in 
your earlier post.


I think I have also some troubleshooting with my hostname because bind 
is not configured. However, I have choosen to put it my /etc/hosts file

[root@KingKong ~]# nl /etc/host.conf
 1multi on
 2order hosts,bind
hostname command reply the full fqdn if I choose the option 
--all-fqdn, contrary to the option --fqdn. The reply is just my 
hostname without the domain. By the way, if I say

#hostname KingKong.mydomain.com http://KingKong.mydomain.com
Eveything is now good for my hostname but I can not launch my 
389-console. I think the adress to connect is not ok... I do not know 
if this problem is linked to the previous problems...


So, I do #hostname KingKong
Then, I launch the console again. Now, if I try to initiate a full 
synchronization, I can see (and I am still stuck on it) the window 
please wait while data is being synchronized..., but nothing else... 
Data are not synchronized and I do not see anything in my Windows 
event viewer while replica agreement seems to be ok and PassSync 
service is installed...
It is very difficult to change your hostname after you have configured 
the admin server and console.  I suggest starting over from scratch, and 
first make sure your hostname is correct.


I also suggest using 
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.2/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#Windows_Sync 
to configure Windows Sync.

If you are talking about compiz, try rebooting, and at the login prompt 
hit Ctrl+F2 to bring up a text login. Login as root, and do:

yum remove compiz-gnome

or

yum remove compiz-kde

as appropriate. Then logout as root, and hit Ctrl+F1 (or is it Ctrl+F7?)

yes there is ADSL router . which forwards port 80 from wan to lan 80

setup is likeADSL NIC 1 of firewall  NIC 2 connects to the

if any request arrives to live ip on ADSL Router it sends it to the

[389-users] Announcing 389 Directory Server 1.2.8 Alpha 1 for testing

2011-01-25 Thread Rich Megginson
The 389 team is pleased to announce the availability for testing of 
Alpha 1 of version 1.2.8.  This release contains many bug fixes.  On 
those platforms which have OpenLDAP built with Mozilla NSS crypto 
support (Fedora 14 and later), the packages are built with OpenLDAP 
instead of the Mozilla LDAP C SDK.

WARNING: If you are upgrading from a previous 1.2.6 release candidate, 
you will need to run fixfiles to fix some SELinux AVCs, or directory 
server will not start. See bug 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=622882

To fix, run this:
  fixfiles -R 389-ds-base restore

If you are upgrading from 1.2.5 or earlier, or a stable 1.2.6 or 1.2.7, 
there is no problem.

WARNING: If you are upgrading from a 1.2.6 alpha or release candidate, 
you will need to manually fix your entryrdn index files. See 
http://port389.org/wiki/Subtree_Rename#warning:_upgrade_from_389_v1.2.6_.28a.3F.2C_rc1_.7E_rc6.29_to_v1.2.6_rc6_or_newer
 
for more information.  If you are upgrading from 1.2.5 or earlier, or a 
1.2.6 or 1.2.7 stable release, there is no problem.

The new packages and versions are:

I don't know. If it is compiz, then removing compiz-gnome and/or 
compiz-kde should force the desktop back to the standard mode. If it is 
not compiz that is being used, then it doesn't matter if you delete 
those rpms - so there's no harm in trying.

 By mistake I activate the desktop effects and now all I can see is a
 blank screen and the mouse, I reboot and nothing I get back to the
 blank screen.

 If you are talking about compiz, try rebooting, and at the login prompt
 hit Ctrl+F2 to bring up a text login. Login as root, and do:

 yum remove compiz-gnome

 or

 yum remove compiz-kde

 as appropriate. Then logout as root, and hit Ctrl+F1 (or is it Ctrl+F7?)
 to return to the graphical login, and login as your normal user.

 I've had to do this on occasion (with compiz-gnome).

I think that you've proven that compiz doesn't work on your system, so 
just leave it removed and you'll be fine.

You can re-install it later if you feel like experimenting. But F15 is 
going to be totally different anyway (with gnome-shell providing a 
radical new default desktop), so I wouldn't worry about it.


 Also, I lost some of the settings, is this expected behavior???

Naturally, after removing compiz-gnome, compiz will no longer be shown

It is in the repo for Fedora 14

# yum install systemd

Boot with init=/bin/systemd

Caveat is that it is a older version of systemd and may not work as well
as the one in Rawhide.

Finding programs (was: SELinux)

2011-01-25 Thread Wolfgang S. Rupprecht

 It's not hard to find PDF readers.  All you have to do is a yum search
 using pdf as the keyword, either a command line or GUI yum tool, and it
 lists things related to PDF files. 

I'm not sure how new users are supposed to find evince.  Yum isn't a
command that newbies are likely to be familiar with.  Old-timers from
the BSD world might try man -k pdf but that doesn't find evnice
either.  Even on fedora-14 I can't seem to find it on the pull-down
menus.  Looking at the likely bin directories for things with pdf in
their name isn't going to be fruitful in evince's case.

The way I found it back when I started using a linux distribution (back
in fc4 days) was to let firefox open up a pdf file, spawn the reader and
then I opened a shell window and did a PS to see what the viewer was
called.  I recall having to do that a number of times because the name
evince, just doesn't remind me of PDF.  I can't expect a newbie to do
that either.

The unhelpful program names combined with 3 or more non-overlapping
documentation systems (man, info, help), don't make things any easier.

intruder managed to get into their system.  The system was way out of
date (FC6) so it is no surprise that they got compromised.  What I can
tell, the intruder managed to get root which allowed them to remove the
iptables file and lower the protection on ssh to allow unix passwords.
The attacker then installed an ssh-probing client that was installed in
/root.  That lowered ssh security allowed a second intrusion at user
level (probably by password guessing) where an IRC bot was installed and
run from cron with normal user permissions.

I would have been nice to know when and how they initially got in.  The
site runs a handful of daemons (postix, named, ntp, apache, dovecot), so
any of them could have allowed the initial intrution.  They didn't have
selinux enabled, so that compounded problems.  Clearly the top level
answer is to just impress upon them the fact that they need to stay
current and keep selinux enabled.  It still would be nice to know how
the attackers got in though.

The real issue is that there isn't a good activity log.  While I can
install tripwire to watch for changed files, it probably won't tell me
how they got in.  Is there something that addresses that problem?  Some

virsh and networking questions

2011-01-25 Thread Alex
Hi,

I have an fc14 server with two interfaces -- one public, and one
private. I've set it up without bridging, but now that I've created a
virtual host using virt-manager, I think I should have created a
bridge first.

Currently, I have eth0 as the external interface, with eth1 configured
as 192.168.1.10 and eth1:0 configured as 192.168.1.2. There is a
default route to the gateway on eth0 (the public interface).

virt-manager has configured networking for the virtual host to be
192.168.122.185 using nat to eth1, yet I can't route packets outside
of the virtual host.

If I were to restart the whole networking setup, what would be the
best way to do this? Since there are two interfaces, I'm not sure
which devices to make into a bridge. I've also seen references to
bridges (ifcfg-br0) that contain the IP and network info, while other
examples have the IP and network info in the ifcfg-ethN file. Which is
correct?

When a virtual host is using nat, it effectively acts like the IP
specified for the translation, including the routing table, etc,
correct?

I'd eventually like to allow access to port 80 on the virtual host
from the outside using port forwarding.

An idea of the general approach I should use to design this network
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex

Re: [Fedora] Re: FC14 Installation Hangs

2011-01-25 Thread Ashley M. Kirchner

 Well, with the confetti guns at the ready, I tried FC13, no dice.  
Boot options were:

 ide=nodma noapic acpi=off ignore_loglevel initcall_debug

 It quit at the same point it has been lately, which is giving me 
garbage on screen like my image posted yesterday, and ata3 times out, 
same error as yesterday.  By now I have tried:

 FC14  FC13 First CD install
 FC13 First CD install
 FC14 CD netinst
 FC14  FC13 DVD install
 FC14  FC13 DVD Live
 CD-Drive (at least 3 different ones)
 DVD-Drive (two different ones)
 Different IDE cables

 Nothing, it seems stuck at either 'waiting for the cows to come 
home' or it goes past it but then fails with ata3 timeouts which 
eventually bombs.  I'm not willing to continue trying older versions.

 So, I'm giving up.  CentOS boot disk worked, install worked, the 
system is up and running and stable, so far.  It will remain like that 
till the day the hardware fails completely and I push the thing off of 
the back dock.

 Thank you everyone who tried helping.  While there's been no 
solution to the problem, I'm glad for the help and learned that things 
don't always work.  And when they don't, move on to something that 
will.  In this case, CentOS won the battle.  Oh, and that sharp piece of 
metal that left a nice gash in the palm of my hand while swapping drives 
for the umpteen times.  The machine can now claim to have my DNA on it.

 Tomorrow is another day, and possibly another battle.  Hopefully 
one with a much better outcome.

Ok, assuming your default policy is to drop, I think you'll need this rule:

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

I'm assuming eth1 is your internal interface (and eth0 your external WAN
iface).  This rule will allow the responses from your web-server to
pass-thru your firewal...

Also, if you leave all like this it won't work as you need to perform
Source NAT or Masquerade for your 192.168.131.131 ip (if you
don't...then it will leave your external interface as coming from
192.168.131.131 which of course is not valid ip for the internet).  In
order for your webserver send responses to a machine on the internet you
need to masquerade its ip. You can do this with this:

iptables -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.131.0/24 -j MASQUERADE

That is, all traffic that will go out thru eth0, if the source network
is 192.168.131.0/24, then change the source ip to that of your eth0
(your WAN ip).

Try that and see if works.

I like OSSEC.  It's pretty good at detecting break in attempts and file
system changes.  At the very least, OSSEC would have said something as
the intruder made changes that would disable it.

Restoring the BIOS to default settings is something the update does
by default.  In fact, it completely clears the CMOS, updates the BIOS and
upon reboot a message pops up saying the CMOS isn't set and it's reverting
to default values.  The only thing I changed after that was to set the power
failure option to 'power on' when AC is restored.  Everything else is at
default.  That was one of the things I tried early on too, just to make sure
it wasn't me that messed something up.

And I also did just boot up, with no parameters at all, after the
update.  Then slowly started adding stuff ... The acpi=off was one of the
first parameters I added after the first boot failed.  By now I've seen so
many different iterations of the lock up, I couldn't tell you where exactly
it locked up.

There are other hardware quirks that I've discovered throughout all
of this.  For example, if I were to disable the on-board SCSI bus, it pegs
the HDD light to on at all times.  No clue why.  Leaving the SCSI bus at the
default 'enabled' state, the HDD light works as expected.  I'd rather
disable it since it's not being used at all but if I do that, someone else
will inevitably call me at 3 in the morning just to tell me the machine is
overloaded because the HDD light is pegged on.  Not a phone call I'm willing
to take and he or she who called will not want to face me the next morning.
Floppy drive?  What floppy drive?  By default that's turned on in BIOS, as
is the bus itself (yes, this board allows you to disable one or both) ...
disabling the floppy is a two-step process: disable it on the main screen,
exit out of it, go back in just to see it enabled again, select disable
again and now it sticks.

So you see, I know the motherboard has issues, issues I had hoped
would eventually get fixed through BIOS updates.  I gave Intel the benefit
of the doubt and upgraded from 1.1 to 1.3, then 1.5, then 1.7 when I
stopped.  And then today to 1.13 ... the quirks are still there (and they
know about them too because I have a rather lengthy thread from them about
these problems.)

With the machine now in full production, and having settled if you
will, I'm more inclined to just say 'To hell with it.' And move on.  I have
other servers to tend to - like a second RH7.3, also from the same era, but
completely different hardware.  All in all, I have 9 servers that need an
upgrade, some more urgent than others.  This was the first one, and was
supposed to take all of about 4 hours, not 4 days. :)

Now as for sticking around, that I will.  As you pointed out,
there's a possibility that someone else might have a completely different
take on the problem and suggest a different approach, like Lamar.

Shouldn't this be the other way around? I mean, ordinary user gets compromized

If the intruder has root access, he has absolutely no need to brute-force the

or by modifying /etc/shadow. That is, unless the intruder is just plain 
stupid. ;-)

 The real issue is that there isn't a good activity log.  While I can

The only safe way to track and analyze intrusion details of a live system is 
to have the machine log all activities to another machine on the net. That way 
the logs are physically append-only, and even after the intrusion happens, the 
intruder has no way of deleting the logs and otherwise covering up how the 
machine got compromized.

Other than that, once the intruder becomes root, all bets are off, there is no 
safe way to know anything about the intrusion and what exactly happened. The 
only thing you can do is wipe the hard disk and reinstall the system from 
scratch. Forensic research of a rooted system is (a) very painful and tough 
job (even for experts) and (b) almost impossible, in most cases.

If you are into intrusion detection research, you can set up a honeypot 
machine, make an exact cloned copy of the hard disk, log all activity to 
another server, monitor all network traffic with a transparent machine-in-the-
middle, and then sit and wait for the machine to get hacked. Then take it off 
the net, do a diff of the entire hard disk against the initial copy, analyze 
logs and network traffic, etc. Those are the laboratory conditions in which 
you can do proper forensics.

Other than that, the only thing that can give you a trustworthy clue what 
happened is the remote log server, if you have one set up. If you don't, well, 
the only thing you can do is to keep guessing what happened... ;-)

Can't permanently disable SELinux warning for Wine.

2011-01-25 Thread Linuxguy123
I am running a flight simulator under Wine.

Everything works OK, except that SELinux detects a problem when it
starts up.

==
The source process: /usr/bin/wine-preloader
Attempted this access: nmap_zero
On this memprotect: nothing

OK.

I'd like to disable this warning.  In the SELinux Alert Browser, it
tells me to

===

You must tell SELinux about this by enabling the wine_mmap_zero_ignore
boolean.
# setsebool -P wine_mmap_zero_ignore 1

==

That is all well and good, but when I issue the command (as root), it
hangs.  Only Ctrl C will terminate the command.

However, if I omit the -P, it works.   However, I have to rerun it all
the time.

Why does the command hang ?

The command line is my choice as well.  I have a tiny shell script that gets
run after each update that creates text files of whats installed and
available:

$ cat upd.sh
yum list installed 21yum.installed
yum list available 21yum.available

then its just a matter of
grep some_program_or_other yum.*

to check to see what version of something is installed, whether its

thus opened by) evince, and in KDE by Okular. AFAIK, that is the default. If 
the system config was changed from default to something else, then the user who 
changed it was supposed to be aware what he was doing, and which other app has 
been configured to take care of the pdf files.

In KDE, once you open the pdf file by clicking on it in the file manager, you 
can look up on the titlebar and see the word Okular, or go to help menu and 
find the Okular handbook and About Okular menu items. If that still isn't 
enough of a clue about the app's name, you can click on the About Okular 
item and read off a whole bunch of information including the name, description, 
version number, list of authors, licencing info, upstream website address, 
etc.

As for Gnome, I don't use it so I cannot tell exactly, but I guess the 
equivalent information can be found in an equivalent place. If not, Gnome devs 
are probably living somewhere in some galaxy far, far away... ;-)

HTH, :-)

It's possible to boot floppy images off a disk drive for some of these

The obvious approach, to me, considering what you've just described,
would have been to configure compiz after you re-installed it, before
you reboot again.

In your case, I'd be tempted to configure it, then disable it.  So it's
there, but not in use.  Then you can try playing with options.

NB:  It's rarely ever necessary to reboot on Linux.  Usually, it's
enough to just log out and back in again, to have personal settings
re-read.


And, as I outlined above your message.  We do not top post on this list

Re: Finding programs (was: SELinux)

2011-01-25 Thread Tim
On Tue, 2011-01-25 at 13:23 -0800, Wolfgang S. Rupprecht wrote:
 I'm not sure how new users are supposed to find evince.  Yum isn't a
 command that newbies are likely to be familiar with.  Old-timers from
 the BSD world might try man -k pdf but that doesn't find evnice
 either.

Various add/remove software helpers allow one to search through them
using keywords, with those words being looked for in the package names
and descriptions.

Granted that Evince isn't a great example, as it just lists itself as a
document reader.  Instead of being more explicit, and saying that it can
read PDFs and PostScript files.  I'd call that a serious enough omission
to warrant a bugzilla entry, as it stops people finding it when
searching for a PDF application.  I think such programs should have pdf
viewer and pdf reader set as package search keywords.

Though, that sort of find me a pdf application search should have
returned several alternatives.  On Fedora 9, I find at least these:

epdfview.i386 : Lightweight PDF document viewer
gsview.i386 : PostScript and PDF previewer
pdfcube.i386 : PDF presentation viewer with a spinning cube

Hmm, pdfcube sound intriguing!

 Even on fedora-14 I can't seem to find it on the pull-down
 menus.

Yes, that's a bugbear with me, too.  It's hidden, for some obscure
reason.  You have to edit the menus to unhide it.  It's not the only
useful app that's hidden, either.

Then there's applications with weird names.  The specs for the files the
the menus are made from (.desktop) carry the following information in
them:

 Program name, e.g. Evince.
 Generic name, e.g. PDF and PS document reader
 Descriptive comment, e.g. A program to read documents in the PDF and PS
formats

As far as I'm concerned, the default should be set to suit newcomers,
and show both program name and generic name, in the menu, with the
description as a hover-over pop-up information window.  Particularly
when it comes to obtusely named applications (e.g. Evince, Seahorse,
Nautilus, Konqueror, k3b, et cetera).  For my money, I see worse names
in the kde desktop than the Gnome one.  Let the more savvy users
configure the menus to be shorter.

I think that it should, also, be required that they're filled-in
properly before the package is accepted into Fedora.  I've always
managed to find some applications which omit one or more of those
attributes from the .desktop files, or the information is under the
wrong attribute.  There is a specification for how the .desktop files
are supposed to be filled in, and they're not adhering to it.

 The way I found it back when I started using a linux distribution
 (back in fc4 days) was to let firefox open up a pdf file, spawn the
 reader and then I opened a shell window and did a PS to see what the
 viewer was called.

I think the way most people open a file, now, is either when they try to
open it with their filemanager, or read a file through their web
browser.  In either case, once the application has loaded up, most give
their naming details in the about entry in their help menu.  There's
no need to grep through ps to find it.  You can make a reasonable
assumption that a program called Evince is probably going to be
started by a binary called evince or Evince, and try the lazy typing
all-lower-case first, since that's the long-term habit of Linux.

Re: iptables and NAT

 fine )

Okay, I've done something similar in the past:

dial-up modem to gateway box (firewall and NAT), with a webserver on
another box further inside the LAN.

Looking through my old firewall configuration file, I had, on the
firewall:

default input rules set to drop
default output rules set to allow
input accept rule for this traffic
temporary input log rule for this traffic (for debugging)
input nat table prerouting rule for this traffic
input accept state rule for established  related
temporary input log state rule for established  related

And, on the internal webserver:

default input rules set to drop
default output rules set to allow
input accept rule for this traffic
input accept state rule for established  related

You can play around with putting log rules ahead of your accept and
redirect rules, to see attempts that may or may not get through.  And
log rules after them, to show what did get through.

And, since you're playing with NAT, the end of the firewall rule script
would have something like:

iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp+ --jump MASQUERADE
echo 1  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

It's been a hell of a long time since I've had to do this, but I suspect
your problem may be to do with firewall rules on the web server box,
inside your LAN.  External IP addresses disallowed through the LAN
interface, perhaps?

These days I do it all on the modem/router.  Its firewall is up.  It
only allows through a webserver on occasions I'm temporarily running one
(with a forwarding rule on the modem/router).  All the client computers
run their own firewalls.

My public website is hosted externally.  Where *they* have to deal with
spam, security, uptime.  And I don't have to keep a permanent IP, nor
permanently running computer.

If you're able to use WPA2 instead of WEP, do it.  WEP is as secure as a
