Turning on ACL by default
by Michel Salim 29 Aug '04

29 Aug '04

Hello, I noticed that ACL needs to be explicitly enabled for ext3 filesystems at mount time when using star to restore some ACL-enabled backups. Would this be likely to be turned on in FC3, or even better, FC3test2? I recall long, long time ago (during RH9 beta, or even RH8) ACL was turned on for one or two beta releases then turned off again. I have not been using it heavily but it seems to work fine on my machine. Thanks, -- Michel Salim 林智勇 http://salimma.livejournal.com

my system needs manual network ifup after boot
by Bob Gustafson 28 Aug '04

28 Aug '04

My system (i686, scsi, ipv4) is not so happy at the moment. yum update at the moment, but MAKEDEV may or may not be up2date %pre message says it cannot install because of /devfs, but bottom line message says 'Success' ?? Same messages with 'yum update dev' Version number of either MAKEDEV or dev was 3.9.1-1.i386 When the boot finally ends and I log in, I needed to manually ifup the eth0 su /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup eth0 If I then go back to user and startx exit startx My Gnome desktop comes up, but stays up and controllable for about a minute. I was able to start Mozilla, and start creating a bug report, but then after I had almost all of the text typed, all I could move was the mouse cursor - everything else was frozen. Fortunately the code behind the power button has been nicely massaged. A single click will put the system into a graceful shutdown. Hope this email will offer some clues. BobG

Musings about on-disk encryption in Fedora Core part II
by W. Michael Petullo 28 Aug '04

28 Aug '04

Almost two months ago Nils Philippsen started a thread about disk encryption in Fedora Core. I wanted to make some comments about the progress that has been made and the things that still need to be done. First, it was determined that the lowest hanging fruit was adding support for encrypted swap. This is generally a prerequisite for disk encryption (note that it is possible that Apple didn't get this right[1]). Russell Coker found a nice script from the Debian folks that can be installed in /etc/init.d and used for initializing encrypted swap. A new configuration file, /etc/crypttab, determines how disks are encrypted. [2] is a Bugzilla bug that tracks encrypted swap and includes a link to the cryptdisk script and instructions. Currently the ordering of events needs some work. The cryptdisk initializes encrypted swap after rc.sysinit but rc.sysinit executes ``swapon -a'' before the cryptdisk script runs. Another goal is to add support to Fedora Core for an encrypted root device. In order to do this, mkinitrd must support creating an initrd that can unlock the root filesystem. [3] contains a patch for mkinitrd that does this. Thanks to comments from Russell Coker, the patch now supports booting off a removable disk (only the kernel and initrd reside on the removable disk -- the encrypted root does not need to be removable). The mkinitrd patch also receives it configuration from /etc/crypttab. The encrypted root patch at [3] requires that cryptsetup be statically linked. [4] provides a patch to the cryptsetup RPM specification that does this. Finally, [5] contains some notes about and a link to a patch for util-linux that adds dm-crypt support to mount. This allows one to use the standard mount interface instead of the specialized cryptsetup command to mount dm-crypt volumes. The patch works, but depends on an unreleased cryptsetup 0.2. The author of the patch has not stated if he is going to continue to maintain the patch. The author of util-linux has concerns about loop-aes vs. cryptoloop vs. dm-crypt that must be addressed before he accepts the patch. If you are interested in the util-linux patch, let me know and I will fill you in. Otherwise, this fruit seems out of reach for now. Some progress has been made in implementing encrypted swap and root support in Fedora Core. Other than the requirements noted above, there is still the need for documentation. I plan on writing up some instructions as well a rudimentary attack tree for all of this. Happy hacking!
