VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site. That site will be the place I present services to the world; httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers" and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net; if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address, and I am not opening any inbound ports. There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html ) and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth, and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail. Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to break with FC1 or FC2?

Problems with 3COM 3C900Combo
by Christian Moller 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi all Fedora users, I have just joined this list. I am running the latest Fedora but I can't get my 3C900Combo networking card to work. I can see that the card is installed but no IP-address is asigned to it and I can't set it. So I think that there is a bug in that driver. Any other user out there who have a solution for this? Best regards and thanks, Christian

RAGE XL Framebuffer
by Yanick Quirion 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi all I know that is not a specific question about Fedora, but I can't find answer on the kernel mailing list. Is somebody having server with integrated ATI RAGE XL video card? Is it possible to patch the kernel to support this video card? If I add VGA=791 in my grub.conf, I will have a resolution of 1024x768 which is good, but the display is very slow (especially when the screen is scrolling). If I use I this: "video=aty128fb:1024x768@70" it will not work. I'm using kernel 2.4.22 but I will try 2.6.0-test11 today. If somebody has a patch, a link or anything else that can help me, it will be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Yum on x86_64
by Gareth Bult 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hi, I seem to have (finally :) ) acquired a complete(ish) / working x86_64 system .. but I'm still having trouble with a few bits, not least "yum". I get; Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Unreleased Updates Finding updated packages Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 60, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "yummain.py", line 204, in main File "clientStuff.py", line 363, in getupdatedhdrlist File "clientStuff.py", line 409, in bestversion IndexError: list index out of range [root@squizzey oddjob]# (This is a modified system [2.6.0-test11] however it seems to run well) Pointing it at mozilla's channel for SeaMonkey seems to work if I disable the default channels, however... Anyone any ideas ? (I was sort of expecting to see it say "no x86_64 updates supported yet" as opposed to a complete crash) Also, can yum pull SRPMS and rebuild them ? tia Gareth.

kudzu and modems.
by akonstam＠trinity.edu 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

I can't understand the behavior of kudzu in respect to my serial modem. After initial installation it detects the modem but after that it is ignored. What I mean is I can remove the modem and kudzu ignores the change, or I can remove the modem from the kudzu database and kudzu ignores the change. I can run: kudzu --class MODEM and kudzu will remove all my hardware from its database except the MOUSE but it still ignores the modem. How can I get kudzu to notice that I have changed, removed or added the modem? -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.

Re: ssh & port 22 problem

> When I try to connect from a remote machine to my one at home > using ssh I get the error message "ssh: connect to host 64.146.133.1 port > 22: Connection refused" -- but using ssh in the outgoing direction (i.e. > from home to the remote location) works fine. Any suggestions as to how > to troubleshoot this? Hi Jerry, I looked at your IP to see what kind of router you had. It appears to be supplied by your ISP, because telnet showed: Sawtooth Technologies, LLC Stevenson, WA Unauthorized Access is Prohibited gw-sawtooth.pdx.rain.net 98.10.20-0 For Service Call +1 509 427-4865 Sawtooth Technologies Ether 204.119.0.254 PL/DHGL/109201/ELG 204.119.4.30 So you may need to call them to get the password or to forward port 22 for you. --Stewart
