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,

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.

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

Is someone experiment this :

The rhn alert icon is hide by the authentication icon.
Sorry, but i can't reproduce.

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.

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.

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..

and do we have a volunteer to go back over the last 20+
posts regarding ALSA sound under test-2.6.0 and summarize all
that into a nice, condensed recipe? i've seen enough 2.6.0
kernel today to last me a while.
then we just have to pick a new topic to beat to death.
ACPI, anyone?

How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste?
Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo!
End all weapons of mass destruction.
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.
