Can an vsFTP server get swamped?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I have a customer with four Windows workstations that
backup with Cobian Reflector to a local Fedora vsFTP server
vsftpd-3.0.5-6.fc40.x86_64
Every so often, Cobian errors out with:
ERR 2024-05-12 21:38:58 An error occurred while uploading the file
"C:\Users\accounting\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\boteqaxu.default-1441211636453\storage\default\https+++shop.nordstrom.com\cache\morgue\44\{a7c30849-26e1-400f-9127-3cc779dc912c}.final"
to "/MyDocsBackup/backup1/Mozilla 2024-05-12 21;31;27
(Full)/Firefox/Profiles/boteqaxu.default-1441211636453/storage/default/htt...":
Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is
normally permitted 192.168.202.10:10098
But if I re-run the task, it goes through without issue.
By chance if several of the workstations start backing
up at the same time, can the vsFTP server get swamped?
Is there a way to increase vsFTP's sockets?

Many thanks,

Hi Michael,
I am providing remote support for many of my customers.
They are mostly Windows users. I wish I had more
Linux customers, but it is what it is. I would not
have a job if not for Windows poor quality.
I first used Go To Assist, but dropped them for their lack
of Linux support and ignoring bug and enhancement reports.
I also did not care for having to run it out of a Windows
virtual machine.
I looked at Team Viewer, but they are very, very expensive
and "Woke" as well, which means they are no longer hiring
based on merit and their product(s) will/are deteriorating
because of it.
The reason for AnyDesk and such is that it get around
firewalls/routers. If a customer calls, there is no way
I would be able to coach then through installing a port
forward on their firewall/router which are required
for the various VNC's. I am lucky if most of my customers
know how to use their keyboards. (I still have to assist
them with finding the "Win" and "Esc" keys. Sometimes
even the "Enter" key.)
I landed on Any desk because it is reasonably priced,
supports Linux, is quite snappy (fast), is able to get around
several technical problems with Go To Assist, their
tech support is responsive, they take bug reports.
Although, if the report is specifically Fedora, the
second tier sends you back their supported linux spins.
They support CentOS and RHEL. So I am currently
installing a Virtual Machine of CentOS to reproduce
any issues, so second tier can not weasel out of it.
Any Desk's RHEL rpm works rather well (except for the
lightdm issue) in Fedora and certainly gets around a
ton of issues that Go To Assist plagued me with.
AnyDesk's Multi Factor Authentication is rather easy
to set up too. I prefer Red Hat's FreeOTP (Cell phones)
and Fedora's Keysmith for such.

[Testdays] Call for Fedora Linux 41 testing events
by Sumantro Mukherjee
Hi Fedora users, developers, and friends!
It's time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 41.
For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused
around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results,
with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers
together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can
run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do
some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it
doesn't have to be code, for instance, we often run Test Days for
l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days .
Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that
the QA group helps you out with organization or any combination of the
two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in fedora-qa pagure - here's
an example https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issue/624 . For
instructions on hosting a Test Day, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management .
You can see the schedule at https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issues?tags=test+days .
There are many slots open right now. Consider the development
schedule, though, in deciding when you want to run your Test Day - for
some topics you may want to avoid
the time before the Beta release or the time after the feature freeze
or the Final Freeze.
We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want
to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do
something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is
how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday
slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up
Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a
Test Day in a specific time frame due to the development schedule, but
the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another
day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or time frame you'd
like, and we'll figure it out from there.
If you don't want to run your own Test Day, but you are willing to
help with another, feel free to join one or more of already accepted
Test Days:
GNOME Test Day*
i18n Test Day*
Kernel Test Week(s)*
Upgrade Test Day*
IoT Test Week*
Cloud Test Day*
Fedora CoreOS Test Week*
And don't be afraid, there are a lot of more slots available for your
own Test Day!
[*] These are the test days we run generally to make sure everything
is working fine, the dates get announced as we move into the release
cycle.
If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't
hesitate to contact me or any member of the Fedora QA team on test at
lists.fedoraproject.org or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks!

Question on $FileCreateMode for imjournal
by Mark C. Allman
I'm seeing this line in /var/log/messages:
imjournal: filecreatemode is not set, using default 0644
[v8.2312.0-1.fc40 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2186 ]
From the page
https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/configuration/action/rsconf1_filecreatemode.html,
I see that I need to set $FileCreateMode. OK. Where?
* I created a conf file in /etc/rsyslog.d/ with "$FileCreateMode
0600." No impact.
* I edited (temporarily) /etc/rsyslog.conf and inserted the above line
both before, after and (as a last resort) both before and after the
imjournal module load. No impact.
Where should this variable be set and what's the correct syntax? I also
sent this to the rsyslog list but I thought I'd throw it out here as well.
Thanks,

How to list Apache (httpd) virtual servers
by Ian Pilcher
I am trying to list the virtual servers in my Apache httpd configuration
on Fedora 38. My internet searches keep turning up references to using
either apachectl or apache2ctl with the -S option, but neither one seems
to work on Fedora.
# apachectl -S
apachectl: The "-S" option is not supported.
# dnf provides '*/apache2ctl'
Last metadata expiration check: 3:35:44 ago on Sun 12 May 2024 01:13:05
PM CDT.
bash-completion-1:2.11-9.fc38.noarch : Programmable completion for Bash
Repo : fedora
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/apache2ctl
So how is one supposed to do this on Fedora?

How to change fail2ban timeout during reboot in F40?
by Frank Bures
Hi,
I was a target of an attack resulting in 1600 banned IP address by fail2ban.
When I reboot, f2b tries to unban those IPs but it ultimately times out and
a large number of IPs becomes orphaned. They stay in firewalld, but f2b
does not know about them anymore.
And indeed
root@ryzen:/etc/systemd/system# systemctl show fail2ban.service -p
TimeoutStopUSec
TimeoutStopUSec=45s
How do I increase the 45s timeout to something more suitable? I was not
able to find where in the system is that value set.
Thanks
Frank

My fedora 40 experiences
by Tom Horsley
Things I noticed after installing fedora 40. Nothing too bad,
got everything working OK after a few fixes.
No sound at all, not even any sound devices listed. Poking around in
google I eventually found the advice to do this:
rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber
reboot
That worked. I can watch videos now and hear the soundtrack.
No working printer. Apparently the stuff I've been copying from release
to release no longer works. Had to remove the printer definition completely
and let it notice it and reinstall from scratch. It now works but the
annoying new ipp-usb stuff causes a delay of about 10 seconds between
clicking "print" and hearing the printer power up (it was previously
instantaneous before this "improvement").
Various systemd config files I used to edit to change settings are
now apparently installed as %ghost files, so they don't actually
exist. Eventually created directories /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/
/etc/systemd/system.conf.d and /etc/systemd/user.conf.d and created
some local .conf files in those directories to just override the
handful of settings I normally changed.
The gcc compiler now defaults to the same fanatical insistence
on proper forward references and such that used to be so sloppy
in old C code, so various C programs I always rebuild didn't
compile till I fixed the source ( I figure there is probably
an option to make gcc as dumb as it used to be, but I might
as well fix the code).
My custom sddm theme didn't work. Had to copy new format theme directory
and make similar customizations.
The bogofilter tool changed format databases. Had to discover
the bogomigrate-berkeley tool in the list of files in the
bogofilter rpm to fix that and salvage years worth of spam
filter training.
Haven't noticed any other problems yet, I seem to be able to use
fedora 40 now just like I used fedora 39.

What is Castor ? Att.Jonathan Billings.
by Ger van Dijck
Hi,
A bit late Jonathan but here is my answer.
After upgrade to Fedora 40 all runs perfect , but the login prompt looks
as follows :
[root@castor GervanDijck] #
Suddenly the router a Fritz-Box 7490 detects the Name Castor with
IP192.168.178.29 (not connectebel) with a MAC number and the connection
is WLAN.
I just do not understand it : What does it represent ?

Fedore CoreOS and secondary disk
by Earl Ramirez
Good day, all,
I have been trying to add a second disk to CoreOS and can't seem to
figure this out. The secondary disk is specified in the butane config
but the part that I need guidance with is how do I bring up the server
with two disks.
#### Sample disk config from butane ####
disks:
- device: /dev/disk/by-id/coreos-boot-disk
wipe_table: false
partitions:
- number: 4
label: root
size_mib: 8192
resize: true
- device: /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x50014e2eb507fcdf
wipe_table: true
partitions:
- number: 1
label: var
size_mib: 0
start_mib: 0
type_guid: 0657fd6d-a4ab-43c4-84e5-0933c84b4f4f
filesystems:
- path: /var
device: /dev/disk/by-partlabel/var
format: xfs
wipe_filesystem: false
with_mount_unit: true
## ##
Any suggestions or directions you can point me to be able to get the
secondary disk going for Fedora CoreOS?
Thanks in advance
