Fedora 14: Gconfd and thumbnailers

[Antonio M]

I have two F14 systems (a fresh installation and un updated system).

I shot pictures with my camera as raw files (format is dgn or PEF),
then I import them to my systems.
On the fresh system I can see thumbnails (previews) of raw files, on
the updated system no previews are available.

Digging in /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers on the fresh system by Gconfd I
see a long list of available formats to preview

/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/image@x-pentax-pef
command /usr/bin/ufraw-batch --embedded-image --out-type=png --size=%s
%i --overwrite --silent --output=%o

that are not available on the updated system

I don't understand why I don't have similar list on both system and
what is the easiest way to have them also on teh updated system??

tnx

That is simple. If a program runs as a different user, it simply
does not have access to your main user data (e.g. firefox bookmarks
or cookies, saved email, and all your documents).

I personally use this method to separate high importance stuff
(dedicated user for online banking) or throw-away stuff
(another dedicated user).

It is also a very good way to have more sets of settings for a single
applications: you have your independent personal firefox and pidgin and
your "work" firefox and pidgin. (yes, I know about firefox profiles,
but this way is better)

I used to run things with kdesu but got into problems (environment handling?).

I take the opportunity to share how I currently do that.
I have this script, called xroot:

  echo "echo \"`xauth nextract - :${DISPLAY#*:}`\" | xauth nmerge -"

So I open a terminal and run xroot, the output is something like (xxx as 
placeholder):

  echo "0100 0008 7xxx4 0001 30 0012 4xxx1 0010 fxxxc" | xauth nmerge -

I copy this text into the clipboard.
Then I run:

  su -l secondaryuser

and then paste the text.

Now, you can run applications (xclock if you want to check that X is ok).

This is more efficient than the "ssh localhost" way and more secure than
the "xhost +" way.

Only issues are pulseaudio and all the "session-aware" things which are so
fashionable nowadays.

What's the chipset in this D-Link USB device

[JD]

Hi all,
I inserted a USB wifi device into my laptop
and tried to see what is the chipset in it.

lspci command showed nothing.

lsusb shows

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 07d1:3304 D-Link System

But still I cannot find the chipset for it, and so no driver gets 
automatically loaded,
nor do I know which driver to load manually.
Could anyone please tell me how I can find out the chipset in this
inexpensive wifi device?
It is branded as Frys model FR-300USB

Thanx,

JD

Might be worth looking at one of the chipset lists like

That large file, , is a temporary file holding the request
document (generally the file to be printed).  It's meant to be cleaned
up as soon as the request is submitted, so it looks like something went
wrong during job submission *and* for some reason CUPS didn't clear up
the temporary file.

Unfortunately I can't see any situation where this could happen, looking
through the code.  Perhaps there was a power failure?

sandboxie like application for Fedora?

[erikmccaskey64]

http://www.filehippo.com/download_sandboxie/


It's a great application [ for windows... :\ ]


Are there any programs under Fedora, that has the ~same features?


To be specific: The user could launch a program [e.g.: Google Chrome] inside 
this sandbox, and when he/she exits Google Chrome, all the changes that Google 
Chrome did is "undoed". + Google Chrome is in a sandbox, so it can't "see"/read 
the files of the user!


Thanks for any tips, link, opinions!

man lsusb, you will see -d looks for vendor:[prod id] which would
lead you to know that 07d1 is D-Link's ID and 3304 is the product.
Unfortunately http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids ends at 3303 for D-Link.

It's still actually called "dBm" and not db+(something else)?
Surprising!  We were always taught that 0 dBm meant 1 mW into 600 Ohms,
i.e. a power and impedance, not just 1 mW into anything.

tnx Michael,

already tried, but everything is o.k.

Please check also this thread and reply there:
Fedora 14: Gconfd and thumbnailers

My question is:
if I delete some folders /.gconf /gnome /gnome2 and I logout then I
login, should it work??

Tnx again

I haven't gotten that working, although I had limited time to look at the 
problem. I have one machine with uid issues, so I would like to have a better 
fix than a series of one time hacks. On the other hand, I have a bunch of other 
machines which have uid match and take most of my time, so uid fixing has 
dropped to my "would be nice" list.

Doesn't equate with the description of the other user having "lower"
permissions, though.  The description (lower permissions, bigger
security) engenders the notion of different types of users, that Windows
uses (ordinary lowly users, power users, admins, etc.).

Running as some other user will still have the same ability to do bad
stuff as yourself could do.  So I wouldn't call it an increased
"security" thing.

I think there is something funny there, but you need to find a way to show the 
problem every time, then refile a bug. If the maintainer can't see it s/he 
can't

Obvious approach:  Create a new user, log in as that new user, and see
how things behave.

While the points made are all true, I'd like to point out that the original 
message was actually intended to be helpful to others.  After such a 
reception, he probably won't bother next time.

Why is it that some people on this list think it clever to publicly humiliate?  
Gentle reminders off-list are so much more effective.

Correction: one wrong word, spelled correctly, and one Linux command 
used as a euphemism.  Using that command that way, BTW, is a fairly

Only one actually ("quite" instead of "quote"). Or perhaps you're being

Just to be clear: changing the Subject line is *not enough* (same
comment also applies to those who hijack threads). It's important to
reply correctly to the message so as to preserve RFC-standard threading,
which pays no attention to the Subject line.

How, pray tell, does a person who receives only the digest do this? (I as well 
as a few others need an education on this and this could be added to the List

CR-48 Gobi 2000 Support

[Derek Tracy]

Has anyone gotten the Gobi 2000 chipset to work with the qcserial driver?  I
have found a few patches but do not want to roll my own kernel if I don't
have to (that's why I left Gentoo).  Is there a way to just build the
qcserial driver using dkms or something, or maybe another way to add the USB
Id's to the code?

Has anybody found an up to date rpm for the gobi_loader that loads the
firmware for the chipset?

I'm willing to work with an individual or team to help better support the
CR-48 hardware (it runs Fedora nicely) just don't know where to start.

We have lots of features to allow the unconfined_t domain get some
confinement, but we choose to turn them off by default.  Or better yet
setup the default login account as staff_t.  But this is difficult to do
without getting the "SELinux sucks, turn SELinux off" responses.  If you
begin to further confine the desktop user by default, things will break
and you need to further configure SELinux.  I blogged about this a few
years ago

We can prevent lots of stuff, you could run your firefox session in
sandbox or even multiple firefox sessions within multiple sandboxes,  We
can prevent executable/writable memory checks, we can confine
mozilla_plugin and nsplugin but most of these have to be turned off
because things can break.

I've never seen instructions on how to reply to a message in a digest, yet 
keep the threading.  I don't use digest myself, but if you know how it's done, 
it would be useful to document it.

Using the MIME-style digests makes this trivial in most email clients.
We set this style of digest as the default for this list a few months
or so ago.  The Mailman default is to send plain text digests, which
are much more of a pain.  I'm not sure if they even contain all the
needed information.

For anyone subscribing to the digests and planning to reply to
messages, I would recommend checking on your list options page that
you're using the MIME-style digests.  The digest will then include
each message as an individual message part.  Any halfway decent mail
client can then reply do an individual digest message and keep the
subject and headers needed for threading intact.

Heh...honestly, does that description seem clear to you?  This part
of the man page is the poster child for all that is wrong with the
wireless extensions API.

Neither -- the driver (like all mac80211-based drivers) simply does
not support that setting.  mac80211-based drivers are simple, and
they don't do roaming by themselves.  Instead they rely on a userland
component (e.g. wpa_supplicant) to take care of roaming for them.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any roaming "knobs" to turn for
wpa_supplicant (or NetworkManager) -- maybe it would be nice to
have one.  Even if it were there, I suspect that control of that
"knob" would have to flow through NetworkManager if you are using it.

Thank you. I am using Samba 4. The problem seems to be that I cannot 
kinit -k -t /etc/dovecot/krb5.keytab smtp/fqdn_host@REALM. I have the
keytab. IT has that entry.  I get kinit: Client 'smtp/fqdn_host@REALM'
not found in Kerberos database while getting initial credentials.

If I could figure this out, I think I would have my entire problem fixed.

Thank you for responding.

Sometimes you have to tell winsync to do a full resync a few times
before it finally works.



I could also continue to launch request to my AD server from my
389-DS server (ldapsearch...). I successfully add a user to my AD
with Apache Directory Studio (installed on my 389-DS server) with
the AD synchronizing account. So, it's not an access problem.

Moreover I added a schema on my 389-DS for my directory that is
not present on my AD. Do you think I have to add this schema to
AD or is the synchronization done only on AD required attributes ?

No.  The schema that winsync uses is hard coded in 389 - you
cannot extend it or change it - it should work with AD, no changes
to AD should be required.



Or,

Is it a cert file problem on my AD ?

or ...?

Any idea would be appreciated

Yes I eventually homed in on the reality that you just described.  I
was able to get an ipw2200 based laptop to roam nicely as the driver
did support the sens parameter - and it did switch over to another AP
when the signal from the first went near non-existent - which was what
I was after.  However it seems that using my netbook with an ath5k
driver based wireless internal simply won't be able to do it whatever
I do - is there anyone working to make mac80211 drivers more
sophisticated in the future?  Maybe roaming is not high on most user's
agenda? But the main, and separate, issue I have is with initial
selection of a weak AP signal when a strong one (with same ssid) seems
more logical - and I don't know if this is something that is within
the realm of the driver, the NM code or wpa_supplicant?

I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to know what is possible here.

I would certainly appreciate knowing what is possible, and what
provides the limitations?

Snort alternative

[Luc MAIGNAN]

Hi,

as we have to pay to user Snort Rules, is there a free-of-charge NIDS 
available for Linux ?

 I haven't tried this myself but this may be what you're looking for :

Method = nsswitch

( in idmapd.conf ) 

 It isn't documented in the man pages for CentOS 5.5 ( RHEL 5.5 ) but it showed
up in bugzilla under fedora.

I went back and re-tried using the Linux copy & paste.  I found the
following.  On my bigger writing programs like Write and Evolution
--compose the select and paste works the way I am used to.  On text
writing programs like gedit and gnote it doesn't.  I am using compiz
rather than metacity.  My guess now is that programs for writing that
have their own keyboard and mouse setup work as expected, but compiz is
somehow messing up the standard gnome mouse shortcuts.  I don't see
where but I will keep looking.

Not listed there as far as product id 3304
BUT! manufacturer RealTek ID 07d1 is there, and the

the R8192s chip,
so I assume I have the R8192s, which is not supported by the kernel.

However, I have found no match for this product id 3304 from vendor 07d1

mac80211-based drivers simply do not support setting that parameter. These
drivers are simple and do not roam on their own. Instead they rely on a
userland component (e.g. wpa_supplicant) to do the roaming.

The burning questions in my mind about confining Firefox and plugins
are:

Is it hard to nail it down because it's hard to work out what to
restrict or not?

Are Firefox and plugins doing lots of things that they shouldn't really
be doing?

My suspicion is that there's a lot of bad programmers that think it
should be allowed to do anything without restriction, and they'll expend
more energy into protesting restrictions than they'll put into writing
better code.

Get your digest in MIME format.  (Log into the list server to set this
option.)  Most mail readers know to treat the attachments in a MIME
message as separate messages.   In evolution (at least), they are all
collected in a meta-message in your in-box, but they can be replied to
individually.

That's how I read this list.

I have a wireless dongle that is supported by the 8192 driver, and
found that there is this driver in the kmod-staging package from
rpmfusion - which works - you may need to install a firmware file but
the driver is available in the package I mentioned. I tested it about
a month ago. The same driver may work for your case if you are lucky
too.

It's my understanding that Google Chrome already runs in a sandbox, by default. 
 No additional software needed.  And not only the application itself, but each 
window, whether stand-alone or tabbed, runs in its own separate sandbox.  
That's what makes it the "safest" browser around.  Or have I misunderstood all 
the marketing hype?

I've found traditional *ix middle-mouse cut and paste to be variable
whether it's going to work on programs like Evolution or OpenOffice.org.
Usually, it won't paste what's been copied, less frequently it will.

For programs, like them, I have to resort to hotkeys or right-click for
the menu with copy in it, right-click for the menu with paste in it.

_+1 for many projects.  Number of lines of code != good coding practices.  I've 
found very obvious buffer overflow conditions and failures to enforce changes 
of variable types in publically available code bases.  These are 'easy' to fix 
things, but programmers appear (not necessarily want) the most 'bling' in their 
programs.  Best Business Practices for coding need to be enforced and noticible 
coding errors corrected.  It's not all that hard, but it is definitely not 
glamorous.

I've never seen a great advantage in the digests, other than for
archiving purposes.  If you're going to get 1000 messages as 1000
messages, or in one huge message, it's still a lot of data.  And it's
far more of a pain to reply to the digest.  Never mind keep one or two
useful messages out of it, and delete the rest.  Or that far too many
mail servers, or clients, make a pigs breakfast out of huge messages.

I really wish there were some automatic function to restrict replies to
digests.  If you full quote, you get rejected.  If you reply with a
digest subject line, you get rejected.  If you reply with broken
threading you get rejected (i.e. your reply headers must refer to the
original post, not the whole digest main headers)...

Even non-digest replies with broken headers are a major pain.  If you're
trying to help someone, who's every reply is randomly splattered
throughout your list of emails, it becomes a needle in a haystack
searching job to follow a thread.  Especially if you have a few hundred
messages in the folder you're working on.  Even if you filter out all
the other messages with a different subject line, the sequence of their
replies and yours is all out of kilter.

At least back in the BBS days, the offline mailers would fetch all your
mail as one digest-like spool file, but split it apart into individual
messages.

Interesting.  That SELinux context file is available in the MLS and

Obviously wireless users like to be able to roam.  I certainly do it
around the house, etc.  Are you saying that your ath5k device somehow
refuses to disconnect even after you are out of range of the old AP?
That would be rather strange.

Yes, I remember that thread.  I'm still not sure I understand why
you care which AP you connect to, so long as the connection works.
In any case, if you are using NetworkManager then the decision for
which AP to use will lie somewhere between NM and wpa_supplicant.
I'm sorry, but I don't know the details to go beyond that.

The driver will only make an association when directed to do so from
userland.  If you are using very basic tools (like iwconfig) then there
is some minimal suppot in the kernel for scanning and finding an AP.
If you use wpa_supplicant, it will control the scanning for APs and
choosing one as it sees fit.  NetworkManager uses wpa_supplicant,
but NM exerts some control over the wpa_supplicant configuration and
I'm not fluent on those details.

If a connection is lost, the kernel will make no effort to reconnect
by itself.  If you are using iwconfig, you will need to trigger the
reconnection manually.  wpa_supplicant will reconnect automatically,
possibly to a new AP if the old one is no longer available.

Hth...

System startup / tcsd failing to load tpm_atmel.ko

[b1]

Hello alltogether

Recently I switched to Fedora as my main operating system. Now I came
across a problem as I tried to access some encrypted files. For
encryption I used ecryptfs, which is why I installed the ecryptfs-utils
package. This comes along with trousers and in particular with tcsd.
Unfortunatelly I get the following error during boot:

insmod: error inserting 
'/lib/modules/2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64/kernel/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_atmel.ko': 
-1 No such device
Starting tcsd:  [FAILED]

If I try to start the daemon:

sudo /etc/init.d/tcsd start
tpm_infineon7725  0 
Starting tcsd: [FAILED]

Also if I try to insert the module manually, I get

sudo insmod 
/lib/modules/2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64/kernel/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_atmel.ko 
insmod: error inserting 
'/lib/modules/2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64/kernel/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_atmel.ko': 
-1 No such device

Im am running fedora 14 and have simply no clue of what
to do to solve the problem. On ArchLinux (which I used before) I
didn't need tcsd.

If you need further information I would be happy to provide that.

Thanks in advance

Also, I forgot to mention, that I recompiled the kernel with
"staging" enabled, and driver r8192u (u for usb) enabled.

after installing the new build and rebooting, I do not see
the driver getting loaded. So, I loaded it manually, but
still there is other wireless device other than my wlan0
for the mini-pci ralink module.

And I see why: because the device is not identifying itself
with the correct strings to trigger driver loading, and even with
the driver loaded, re-inserting the USB device still does not
trigger driver recognition of the device.

Is there a way I can set up an alias for it in the file
/etc/modprobe.d/dist.conf ? What would that alias be?
Again, lsusb shows
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 07d1:3304 D-Link System

Is there a way to create an alias that associated 07d1:3304 with 
r8192u_usb.ko ??

Cheers,

JD

In my wpa_supplicant.conf, I specify the MAC address
of my router:
bssid=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff   for example.
so, does that not tell wpa_supplicant exactly which router to associate 
with?

How to get scancodes from mouse buttons?

[Dotan Cohen]

Hi all, first off I must confess that this is a crosspost. I posted a
similar question to the Debian list, but it's not getting very far and
I know that there are some smart folks here who could probably help.

I have a nice new mouse with two extra multimedia buttons. When I try
to get the scancodes with "xev", "xbindkeys -k", "showkey", or
"showkey -s" then I see no output. There are some other functional
keys on this mouse which also show no output with those tools, such as
the side scroll feature, so I suspect that there must be _some_ way to
get the codes.

Other than Xev, Xbindkeys, and Showkey, what tools can I use? I
specifically bought this mouse because of the location of the two
extra keys, as I have a manual disability and cannot use the special
keys of regular mice.

This is the rodent:

However, 10 of the 12 buttons work, not just the 9 that it found. I've
tried to google a picture of the mouse, I see no info on Teac mice
even on the Teac website. The buttons are "zoom" buttons that I
suppose are activated by a Windows driver on the OS that the package
states that it "supports".

Thanks in advance for any advice on how to continue!

Not likely in the kmod-staging package - you may have to dig around on
the manufacturer web site - or google to see of anyone else is using
the same chipset and has a link to a driver.

With all these wifi devices it seems it is better to try and buy one
that has known support - though that comment will not help if you have
already bought a device with minimal/no support!

I had a fairly recent one but there was a manufacturer proprietary
linux support package - and that had the firmware file in it. You have
to put it in the right place and that is also not always obvious!

The best bet is to see if there is a proprietary linux support package
- and unpack it and poke around. If not then google for it - and if
that fails you may have to wait until one is made available... not
ideal I know.

It's been years since I did any C programming, and my memory of it is 
dusty (as Ziva David once phrased it) but I do remember that there are 
two, very similar functions for copying strings.  One copies as many 
bytes as you give it, the other copies only as many as you specify if 
there are "too many" given.  Just using the second instead of the first 
would prevent most of the easier buffer overflow exploits, if not all. 
By now, I'd think that would be automatic, but then, I'm not a 
programmer any more.

Well in the house at the furthest position downstairs diagonally away
from the upstairs AP the signal is really weak and iffy and sometimes
it throws the connection off. The downstairs AP is about 20 feet from
that location but the wireless wants to hang on to the weak signal
from upstairs instead of switching to the really good one nearby!  I
can force it to do so by removing the existing connection and
restarting NM - but that is not ideal! I am not sure I can get to a
really zero signal position from the upstairs AP - maybe I can take
the laptop down the road for a walk and then when I come back it will
try the nearest one? (OK tongue out of cheek!)

The reason is as for my previous paragraph!

I guess iwlist wlan0 scan - which does work - but maybe there are
other tools to make NM or rather the supplicant switch connections?

Ahh OK - maybe I should reread some wpa_supplicant docs - in the old
days I used to configure it manually before NM became workable.

Thanks for your input John - the problem is that there is just enough
residual signal that it must believe it has not completely gone away!
I don't know what would happen if I covered it in baking foil and
block out the signal for a few seconds and then see what happens when
I unblocked it.

There are a few other people who seem to have these issues too but
like me I guess they just to the manual changes and "make" it work

One reason I was asking about it is because I have two new linux
convertees, and gave them a laptop and they bumped into the same issue
when visiting - but being new they were not in a position to run
commands from the CLI to get into fiddling with the wireless
connection and expected it to just work whatever part of the house
they were in - which is perhaps not unreasonable!

I'll keep reading but in the meantime I guess it will be manual poking
to get things to go from the different positions of the machine.

Yes it does but you can do that in NM as well by editing the
connection from NM (right click and select) - and you need to be root
to do it so not for the new user to fiddle with!

However it does not solve the problem if you have two APs with the same ssid.

Why are you trying to start sandbox as root? If I do that I get the

Just to double-check.  Does the mouse work under Windows?  If so, that 
eliminates any questions about hardware issues.  Have you asked the OEM? 
  They may say that they don't support Linux, but you might be able to 
pry some info out of them by explaining that you're not asking them to 
help you configure it, you just need the tech data so you can do it 
yourself.  (Offering to share how you did it with them might not be a 
bad idea and might even get you more help from them.)

Good luck, and keep us informed.

Highlight, then ^C or Shift^C as appropriate, then Shift^V in the offending 
destination program. Or just right click, and use menu copy and paste, which 
seems to work well but pastes at the text insert location vs. the cursor 
pointer 
location for many apps.

Whatever works...

I don't know, I don't have a Windows machine!

The mouse does work under Linux, only these two extra multimedia
buttons don't show any scancodes. And they are just the buttons that I
bought the mouse for considering how they are placed in a way that is
convenient for my disability!

The OEM didn't answer back, I wrote to them even before I bought the mouse.

As root? I'm not trying to start anything as root! How did you come up 
with this idea?

Probably you misinterpreted #. I just replaced my prompt from the terminal 
with #. Nothing was running as root, really.

The story wasn't meant to humiliate or otherwise chastise the OP; it was 
just a story about a badly-configured mailing list that I thought might 
be interesting.  In fact, unless you're administering a list that does 
things like that, I can't see how you could possibly have taken it 
personally, but then, even at my age people continue to surprise me with 
the weird ways they have to create insult where none was intended.

If the idea was to humiliate, I wouldn't have used a euphemism.

Aside from that, whether private communications on this sort of thing
are more or less effective is an open question. One fires off one's
comment and hopes for the best. Doing it publicly means it acts as a
reminder to other people as well, which may or may not be useful in the
grand scheme of things.

 there is questionable logic to;
  "what is going on",

  "what was desired to happen".

user.js is read to override what is written in prefs.js.

swag:
  what seems to happen is when prefs.js saves back out, it saves mod.
  with that being case, why not just save in prefs.js to start with?

this is what is supposed to happen when you run

 'edit:config'

this is what is supposed to happen when you

 "edit > preferences > [general]|[advanced], [X close]".


touring the mozilla site and it's 'help', 'definition', 'description',
 'faq', or 'what ever' pages, is to get lost in information.

almost like, "if you can not find it, you do not need it".

when you have a unique problem;
 'must be a bad install.'
 'go ahead and up grade to latest stable.'
 'it does not happen here.'

as is, firefox is well written and given a lot of thought. when thought
does not work as thought, answer/solution is always to up grade.

there are various ways to configure firefox, thru menus, via config:edit,
via add-ons.

some changes work just from close and open. some have required reboot.

iow, software is software, regardless of who wrote it.

Java browser plugin does not work with latest F14 update

[Louis Garcia]

With the latest F14 updates the java applet for firefox stopped working with a 
website I frequent. All I see is the java process taking the whole CPU and my 
computer's cooling going mad.

That's a server-side error. The server is claiming that smtp/fqdn isn't
listed in its database. You need to check the kerberos logs on the
server (or if you don't have access to them, you need to contact your
system administrator for further help)

Can you give us the url so we can test it?  If needed, I can test it on

Re: [389-users] Install on RHEL 6....

[danielgore]

No AVCs in /var/log/audit/audit.  I did a search for the "console.conf"
file and could not find it on the system except for in my build directory
under "./adminserv/cfgstuff/".  The admin.conf file is created, during
the setup, in the /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv directory.  But the console.conf
file is not.


In /var/log/messages I get

Tim, the approach was obvious, but it didn't do the trick.
Checking installed packages on two different systems, I found that 
gnome-mime-data-2.18.0-5fc12 was installed on the system experiencing 
problems.
Removed it and now everything is o.k. again: waiting for some guru of 
gnome explaining to me what happened, I solved the problem in a very 
empiric way... :-)

F14: need oracle Java plugins but all I get is IcedTea

You're talking about "strcpy()" (copy until you see the NULL) and
"strncpy()" (copy until you see the NULL, but no more than N bytes).

Yes.  Thank you.  I still remember the two functions, but it's been so

Check the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory (if Firefox) and see what is in

I've seen it when I didn't give the correct url/directory on the repo line:
repo --name= --baseurl=

Snort is the best NIDS, but you can Google for one and see what you come 
up with.

Beside, free is what you get sometimes.  You may have to build your own 
ruleset and that is a major bother.

We do automatically moderate posts with the digest in the subject.
Trying to automatically detect a full quoting of the digest or
breaking of threads is much more of a pain than it is worth.

Honestly, while I would much rather see everyone properly trim quote
and use mail clients that properly thread, I'm more annoyed at the
long threads on etiquette. :)

I do not know.  I don't use GMail for much of anything, I find the
interface to be a pain.  But then, I've been a mutt user for a good
decade or so now.  I'm not in the majority by any means.

You don't have the device, so the question here is why something wants to
load the driver. Most probably this is a bug, introduced with one of the
updates which came the last few days (I had this, too).

Anyway, a "chkconfig tcsd off" should do it.

Yes, I think that this is it:
Bus 006 Device 003: ID 04fc:0538 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd

Googling it I find it listed in some Polish and Italian forums, but
only in reference to other things.
