Great, I'll have a dig through when I can and hopefully get a few bugs squished along the way.

An introduction
by Mike McCarthy 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi all, My name is Mike and I'm a sysadmin based in the UK. I work mainly with RHEL, TRU64 and AIX systems professionally but have a few Fedora boxes at home that I experiment with generally to save me trashing any of the corporate systems :) . I moved into administration about 5 years ago from a development background and so feel quite comfortable playing around with code and generally scripting too. I started as a C developer and worked with a few flavours of assembly but these days mostly lurk around Perl. I understand that Python plays a big part in the Fedora project and so would really like to learn a bit more about it. If there is any way I can help and hopefully at the same time pick up a few new skills that would be excellent but at the end of the day I'd really just like the chance to contribute something of value to the project wherever I can. Hopefully speak to you all soon Mike

Self Introduction:Balaji
by "G" 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi My name is Balaji and i live in chennai which is a city in India. i am a software developer working for a private firm in chennai. I ve been contribtuting to fedora as a member of the bug-triage team, Testing packages from the bodhi repository, the Docs team(garderning and wiki editing) and also as one of the Fedora-Ambassadors for chennai. Though i must also admit honestly that the past few months were so hectic that i couldn't contribute much for fedora other than servicing the DVD requests and acknowledging them. I have again started off my contributions to fedora and on the verge of the Fedora 10 release as well as the planning for F11 release it would be a good time to enter this. I would like to be part of the infrastructure team by testing few stuff like bodhi,koji etc using some virtualization stuff and ofcourse starting to solve trivial bugs in those allied tools as it would help me to learn python more better though i know little bit of python. I am really excited to be part of this team and hope i have a good and challenging time with you all. Cheers, Balaji

Fwd: [Fedora-sysadmin-list] Web Security
by Dennis Gilmore 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

forwarding to the correct list ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Fedora-sysadmin-list] Web Security Date: Friday 21 November 2008 From: "Damian Myerscough" <damian.myerscough(a)gmail.com> To: "Fedora Administration and Infrastructure project" <fedora-sysadmin- list(a)redhat.com> Hello All, I have managed to get a bit of free time to create some simple rules for mod_security which would be suitable for the web servers which we are currently running. I have wrote some generic rules which should be compatible with all the web servers. However, we could write rules which are much stricter for the web applications that are hosted off the web servers. Let me know what people think about the rules that I have attached. Just a note, the final rule should point to maybe a security notice... it would currently just redirect users to fedoraproject.org. -- Regards, Damian Myerscough -------------------------------------------------------

Change Request [mod_rewrite/wiki]
by Nigel Jones 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

When proxy5 got added, the IP didn't get added to Mediawiki which meant MW associated changes by anonymous users got credited to the proxy IP address. ARGH! Last two patches fix it, and the first is just to fix a weird thing in Apache's mod_rewrite. Can I get two amens? (+1s will do) - Nigel

Change request: Increase the size of audit logs (on bastion)
by Luke Macken 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

The attached patch will allow the audit system to utilize 100mb for its logs, as opposed to 20mb. Due to the sheer number of SELinux denials that we're hitting on bastion (which will be resolved after a reboot, and my patches from the previous mail), bastion is only storing 1-2 days worth of audit logs. This patch will only effect bastion, as it is currently the only machine that is configured with 'include prelude::sensor::audisp' luke
