| Enlightenment E17 for FC6 |

I recently starting exploring different windows managers and wanted to try Enlightenment on fc6. While looking for information about E16 I came across the following website that has a yum repo for E17 which is updated weekly. Check it out it's pretty neat.
[/url]http://sps.nus.edu.sg/~didierbe/index.html
To aquire Enlightenment E17 for FC6
Download and run the following RPM to install the yum repo:
[url=http://sps.nus.edu.sg/~didierbe/share/dc-f....fc6.noarch.rpm]http://sps.nus.edu.sg/~didierbe/share/dc-f....fc6.noarch.rpm
Then open a terminal session and type: yum install enlightenment
Then log out of the current session you are in and log back in changing your session to Enlightenment!
Check out the links and other information on the main page. Also it's important to remember that this is not released yet although it has been in development for a while now.

| how do I scp a file |
|

first of all what is scp ?
here's a quote direct from the top of the command
Quote:SCP(1) BSD General Commands Manual SCP(1)
NAME
scp - secure copy (remote file copy program)
SYNOPSIS
scp [-1246BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
[-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
[[user@]host1:]file1 [...] [[user@]host2:]file2
it's the same as cp (copy) except secure as you are doing it over an ssh connection. When you start an scp session to a target box, you will be prompted for the users ssh password, this is normal and signifys to you that this is a secure transfer.
here's the usage
Code: scp -prP port file user@ip:./
where port=the ssh listening port on the target linux box
where file=the file you want to send to the target
where user=the username you ssh in as
where ip=the ip address of the target box
where :./=the home directory of the user you are ssh'ing as
and
-p =Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file.
-P=capital P for port as -p is already taken from above.
-r=recursively copy entire directories.
so a real example of the above would be like
Quote:[anyweb@localhost ~]$ scp -prP 1234 SC_160_P_ESD1.zip anyweb@213.64.12.34:./anyweb@213.64.12.34's password:
SC_160_P_ESD1.zip 100% 29MB 255.2KB/s 01:58
thanks to P38 and jY for the advice.
cheers

| Chroot'ing All Users |

When you begin to actively give shell access, one of the things you worry about is that user stealing information, running services you don't want or even cracking your system (why did you give them access!). Of course this is also provides security to your users, as if a user password is cracked, the cracker only has access to the chroot!
The goal of this mini-howto is to provide you a method to lock each use in their own personal chroot home. Hopefully by doing this we will reduce the risk of the users exploiting some mistake/hole in your system configuration.
So on to the installation of the chroot. It might be an idea to use a separate partition for the chroot build, the reason for this is that you can alter the mount options on the chroot enviroment for securing it even further.
Code: # mkdir -p /usr/chroot/system
Build the chroot environment in here (I will not go into this as it can be a long process). Ensure that you do not install SUID applications, as these can be used to exploit the system.
To allow the system to use one chroot environment for multiple users we need to use a clever automount trick (thanks to this page for this process!).
You will need autofs installed.
Code: # mkdir /usr/chroot/mount
Edit the /etc/auto.master
Code: /usr/chroot/mount /etc/auto.chroot
Then make the new chroot autofs configuration file /etc/auto.chroot:
Code: * -fstype=bind / /usr/chroot/system \
/home/& /home/& \
/tmp /home/&/tmp \
/dev/pts /dev/pts
If you decided to make the chroot on a different partition then you can do:
Code: /dev/CHROOTPARTITION /usr/chroot ext3 nosuid 1 2
Then you ensure that no SUID can be active, so even if a program has exploit it should allow the user to gain extra privileges.
Now you can setup how to chroot the user after they are logged in, the easiest method for this is mod_chroot.
Edit the file /etc/security/chroot.conf
Code: znx /usr/chroot/mount/znx
Now you just edit the corresponding PAM file for the service you want to chroot users.
Add into /etc/pam.d/sshd to enable this for sshd.
Code: session required pam_chroot.so
You should ensure that you copy the /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/shadow regularly (like everytime you bother to update the chroot environment) to the chroot.
Code: cp /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow /usr/chroot/system/etc
Of course setting up a chroot is a complex process so I might be tempted into expanding this to demonstrate how!
Enjoy. Many thanks to [/url][url=http://sickadmin.wikiwall.org/OneChrootPerUser]http://sickadmin.wikiwall.org/OneChrootPerUser this site for the very cool technique!

| Uninstalling Nvidia driver is Fedora Core 6 |

I installed nvidia driver with the help of this link.
[/url][url=http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc6.html#nvidia]http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc6.html#nvidia
Now i have a problem. During startup process, the screen goes blank for a while and it then turns white, pink etc However also during startup, it does ask for any key to be pressed within a certain amount of time so on pressing a key it gives an option of OS on the system. It shows 2 linux installations, thats what i think it is. Selecting the top one causes the above problem, selecting the lower one works fine and loads the system. What could be the problem? is there a way to unistall it and then i test if this problem occurs again? I mean i want to check if it is the nvidia driver that is causing the problem.
Below is the code generated during installation. Any help would be appreciated.
Code: [root@x1-6-00-c0-9f-40-e0-ad ~]# rpm --import RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

I'm trying to install Zod on a Toshiba Tecra M1, and everything goes fine until it boots after the installation. I get the little "X" when it starts to load, but then the screen just sits there and glows. No text, no logon, no nuthin', and it doesn't respond to anything I do.
Any ideas? I've tried everything I can think of, and have tried it three times this morning...
TIA,
