Canon i470D on FC3
by eScopic
I am trying to print to a Windows networked Canon i470D. I have been
successful using "Printer Configuration" to setup the queue but I am at
a loss when it comes to finding a suitable driver. The best I have
managed was to use an available substitute driver (BJC800) on the Canon
list but this only prints what looks like A5 on and A4 sheet.
Canon do not make Linux drivers available for this printer and googling
got me no where.
Thanks

Strange problems with sshd under fc3 - Rejecting all users but one
by Eric Vought
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I am having an odd problem with OpenSSH sshd on FC3. I am asking about
the problem here because I think the problem may be outside of sshd
itself. In the end, I am sure I have caused the problem myself, but am
hoping someone else has seen it.
Symptoms:
sshd rejects all users but one (my account) with "*user* rejected
because not in AllowUsers". This message appears in /var/log/secure.
When logging in with ssh, it asks for and appears to reject the
password (even though a public key is configured). The funny thing is
that AllowUsers is *empty*.
Background:
When I installed the server, I immediately created a new user account,
added it to AllowUsers, and turned off root login. I reloaded the
server (service reload sshd) and began connecting as this user. It
worked. Root was, correctly, denied. Now I have added more accounts
and wish to allow login for some of them. In fact, I want to allow
all users and let the shell setting disallow the users it should
(shell=/dev/null). Most of the users have been created by
Webmin/Virtualmin. Two were created with useradd at the prompt
(including the one that *is* allowed to ssh).
At first, I went into Webmin and added another user to the AllowUsers
list and saved it. No effect. I verified that I have set the user's
shell (/bin/zsh,which is in /etc/shells). I forced a reload of sshd. I
verified that the AllowUsers field had been updated in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Next, I went back to Webmin/SSH module and set it to allow all logins
(the ones I do not want have shells set to /dev/null). I looked at
sshd_config and verified that AllowUsers had been removed from the
file (the man page says that it defaults to allow all). No good. I
reloaded sshd and still no good.
The original user account is still let in. No new account, whether
created in Webmin or by useradd can log in. The original account has
its personal group and wheel. Of the other accounts being rejected, at
least one is also in wheel. I do not see any other related messages in
the logs.
I have also tried setting AllowUsers to "*" and I have tried replacing
the *original config file* from the RPM with *no change*.
Questions:
1) Why is sshd not allowing all users with an empty AllowUsers?
2) If it is not defaulting to allow all, why let the original account in?
3) Why did the original config file not reset the behavior (!)?
I am forced to conclude that sshd is simply not reading
/etc/ssh/sshd_config, though it is reloading (I get disconnected each
time) and I can find no other file on the system which it might be
reading instead. In particular, I have gone through every file on the
system in which the original account name appears looking for a ghost
allow list somewhere with no result. Now I am getting very confused.

Doubt about ulog and postgresql?
by Vinicius
Hello,
I did put the followed rule in the iptables "iptables -I
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT 8 -p tcp -j ULOG --ulog-prefix "Firewall: "", just
before the last rule (rulenum 8) that rejects all packets.
I did set up the file /etc/ulogd.conf to use a postgresql table such as
the example at /usr/share/doc/ulogd-1.21/, and I have created the
database ulogd and the table ulog as suggested there, with the same user
and password than the ones on ulogd.conf.
So, when I did do "/etc/init.d/ulogd restart" the system entered an
endeless loop.
Where could I find information about how to use postgresql with ulog
propely, please?
The relevants info:
kernel-2.6.10-1.766_FC3
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.49_FC3
iptables-1.2.11-3.1.FC3
ulogd-1.21-1
ulogd-mysql-1.21-1
ulogd-pgsql-1.21-1
postgresql-7.4.7-3.FC3.1
postgresql-libs-7.4.7-3.FC3.1
postgresql-server-7.4.7-3.FC3.1
TIA,
Vinicius.

Throttling http on localhost to simulate dial-up connection
by Jim Higson
I'm using FC2 for web development at the moment, with Apache running on my
localhost.
The problem is that connecting to localhost is ultra-fast doesn't give a
realistic impression of the speed of the pages I create.
I've done some googling and seen there are modules called mod_bandwidth and
mod_throttle, but don't know what the difference between them is, nor how to
use them with Red Hat/Fedora Linux.
Can anyone suggest what I should do next? Ideally I would like to know which
module to use, if it is included with Fedora's httpd and some pointers on
configuring it.
Thanks,

Intel 82801DB AC'97 audio controler issue
by Asmir Murselovic
After a week of trying to fix this problem I'm still
wondering if anyone managed to get around or fix this
sound problem?
I have Intel 82801DB (ICH4) AC'97 audio controler,
which doesn't work under 2.6.10-1.9_FC2.i686 kernel,
but works under 2.6.5-1.358/kernel. I have checked the
Alsa-mixer, made sure that mute is not checked and
volume is all the way up. I've gotten some suggestions
but unfortunately didn't help in my case.

FC2 -> FC3 Upgrade on Toshiba Tecra 8100 Causes All PCM Sounds to be Scratchy - Workaround?
by Ian Wallace
Hello everyone. I've just recently upgraded my FC2 laptop to FC3 and to
my dismay the PCM playback (xine, xmms, aplay) all produce staticy
sounds. I've googled on the subject and tried the following to correct
it:
(As an aside sound in FC2 was spotty on this same machine ... however
during it's life time, and several kernels the sound did work at one
point, it always worked on FC1).
*) Made sure that my volumes aren't muted etc. I hear the sound, it's
just horrid.
*) Added commands to /etc/modprobe.conf so that the sound levels were
saved and restored ... that appears to work.
*) I think I've disabled the mysterious IEC958 device that everyone
mentions needs to be turned off (I think that's it). The machine has a
Yamaha chipset in it which displays as:
Vendor: Yamaha
Model: Corporation YMF-744B [DS-1S Audio Controller]
Module: snd-ymfpci
This is in Gnome. Sound doesn't work (for PCM) in Gnome or KDE same
issue - crackling sound).
*) The modules appear to have loaded. lsmod displays tons of snd-*
modules etc.
*) I tried setting up a /etc/asound.conf file so that it could 'duplex'
sounds being played over the PCM channel (this was off the ALSA
website).
*) I've tried to get sound working in Xine by switching the backend that
it uses (to no avail). I've also tried, under KDE, to change the
Gstreamer settings for the sink and source ... to no avail.
*) With this kernel I have typically had to set in /etc/grub.conf
acpi=off - not sure if that's messing things up. I removed that and
tried again but it didn't seem to help.
Where can I go for further information? Can I upgrade some packages? I
guess what I'm confused about is that CD playing works great (crystal
clear). PCM playback ... just crackles and hisses.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! If this has been dealt
within the archives just point me to the link so that I can read about
it. I've tried searching but haven't really run across this same issue
(nor solved it with any of the advice that I found).
cheers

installing Xine
by jery_wang
okay, so i downloaded my tarball and unrolled it with the tar xfvz command... but now when i go to the directory i just created xine-lib-1.0 and try to run ./configure the terminal runs thru a buch of "checking this...checking that..." and at the end it returns the following error:
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in path
i'm running commands per the tutorial http://xinehq.de/index.php/faq#BUILDING
of course i will keep searching for answers but i thought i'd try here since i've had great results with this community.
thanks and happy hacking!
