Fedora Core 3 Rootkit
by Alex Ackerman 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

This may seem like an odd request, but I am doing a masters thesis on SELinux and I'm using Fedora Core 3 as a test platform. One of the areas I am trying to test are additional uses for SELinux (beyond the obvious "securing a system"). I'm looking for a rootkit or other known vulnerability that is known to install on a base FC3 system. I'm trying to find out if SELinux can be used in assured secure recovery ops. Any ideas? Thanks!

Rpms, C/D burning and Sound in FC3
by gslink 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

As of Dec. 17 there was a set of replacement rpms in FC3 updates. The libe package was poisonous. It defeated click to install and also fixed the system so it was impossible to manage users and groups. These rpms have been removed from updates but if anyone has loaded them then you need to unload them. Our experience with sound in FC3 is that it only works for the root user unless you install the updates for FC3. With the updates installed sound and also C/D burning work normally. Even with the updates KPPP still will dial and connect but no other program can use the connection. In EVERY case that we have tried we were unable to use the FC3 discs to UPGRADE. If you are going to use FC3 follow the RH warning and reinstall. Then put the updates in. The updates may make the problem vanish.

Hi, I'm using rawhide. Where is the best place to get hold of the nvidia drivers from? IIRC, it was dag that had them, but I can't remember. TTFN Paul -- "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" - Life of Brian, Monty Python

rpm problems
by Paul F. Johnson 01 Jan '05

01 Jan '05

Hi, I've noticed that while my system will download rpms, it won't install them - all I get are pre, preun and post errors (even when uninstalling). I installed the latest kernel update by hand yesterday and did it with - vv as an rpm option.

New kernel blah
by RaXeT 01 Jan '05

01 Jan '05

Why can't something be done short term to fix the Marvell gigabyte lan module missing mess. The update from Syskonnect has been available since early October 04. It was supported in earlier 2.6 kernels? Anyone? And don't tell me someone has to add it upstream at kernel.org, cause that's ridiculous. RaXeT

kernel-2.6.10-1.1056_FC4 much better than post kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3
by Jim Cornette 01 Jan '05

01 Jan '05

It is nice not to have to override shortcomings from test kernels post kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 until kernel-2.6.10-1.1056_FC4. I now can shutdown the computer normally and do not have the shutdown from GUI lockup that the -715 kernel version suffered. Thanks for the resulting improvements. On personal input, I think that this kernel and needed newer versioned packages might be moved to test. The kernel should probably be introduced into FC3 also, at least in testing. Jim -- Style may not be the answer, but at least it's a workable alternative.
