NVIDIA Question
by David St.Clair 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

This may be a dumb question, but why can't Redhat distribute NVIDIA binary drivers? In NVIDIA's licence (http://www.nvidia.com/object/nv_swlicense.html) it says: "2.1.2 Linux Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux operating system may be copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files)." So, what's keeping RedHat from putting the drivers in the distribution? If it's a GPL thing, would it be easy to just download it during installation or at least give the option to the user? Thanks, -- David St.Clair dstclair(a)cs.wcu.edu

XFS ?
by Manohar, Navin S. (Export) 16 Sep '03

I noticed that the SGI XFS source code has been included in Severn's kernel source tree. Will XFS will be part of next official release of RedHat ? TIA. Navin Manohar.

2.6.0-test1 kernel? gcc 3.3 compiler?
by Robert P. J. Day 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

at the risk of being perhaps a little too far out there on the bleeding edge, i'm thinking of dumping the 2.6.0-test1 kernel on my severn system today, just to push the boundaries. in addition, what are the implications of upgrading to gcc 3.3? and what other RPMs would have to go along with that to have a usable system? just feeling the need ... the need for speed rday

Promoting LDAP vs NIS on RHL
by Dax Kelson 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

An LDAP directory can have numerous advantages over NIS. For example: * Strong mutual authentication of client machines and LDAP servers * All network traffic and be encrypted (by mandate even) via SSL or TLS. * A rouge root on client machines cannot access user data, collect encrypted password strings for user accounts * Shadow password functionality including aging can be used I would like to encourage Linux sysadmins to "properly" and securely setup LDAP directories as opposed to NIS. What can be done to encourage this? For starters, it would be nice to have a good generic LDAP directory browser/editor that was SSL/TLS enabled. RHL7.3 shipped with a decent one, GQ, but it was dropped. The slick looking "directoryadministrator" can be used to administer an directory post-setup. Any have other ideas? I'll have a follow up as well. Dax Kelson Guru Labs

bugs, bugs, bugs!
by Bill Nottingham 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

Just some intro for those who haven't played this game before... If you've reported a bug, you may have noticed in the past few days that the bug may now be listed as blocking bug 100643 or bug 100644. These bugs are the 'CambridgeBlocker' and 'CambridgeTarget' bugs What these bugs represent: - categorization of bugs into relative high and medium priorities What these bugs don't represent: - guarantees that the bug will be fixed Note that these lists are populated at first through cursory bug triage; issues in these bugs may eventually turn out to be NOTABUG or WONTFIX. How You Can Help (if you so desire): 1) If you've got a bug that appears to be overlooked in this categorization, feel free to nomintate it in the body of the appropriate tracking bug ('CambridgeBlocker', or 'CambridgeTarget'); then our crack (cracked?) bug triage team will review it again. (Note that all bugs opened against the beta are usually given a once-over within a day or two of being opened; this is how the list normally gets populated) 2) Look at the bugs on the list, and feel free to: - perform duplicate eliminations - verfiy reproducibility/create test cases - provide patches to fix them. (This option is preferred, of course.) Bugs may be moved from one list to the other at any time, or deescalated completely. The chances of an enhancement requests landing on either of these lists is fairly low. Bill

imap in rawhide
by Mike Chambers 03 Aug '03

03 Aug '03

If you upgrade the imap package from rawhide in a severn machine, pop starts to fail when checking password. Had to downgrade back to the stock severn package to get it to work again. Just an FYI.. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege."

mc segfaulting
by Leonard den Ottolander 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Hello, I was wondering if anybody is having the same problem. On a workstation install mc keeps segfaulting on any command that I issue. This is in a tty, not in an Xterm or konsole. Funny thing is this only happens for root and leonard(uid 500), but not for users test(501) and test1(502). Any suggestions on how to debug this issue? Maybe it is just a corrupt file somewhere but where should I look? Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste? Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo!
