hey Folks,
I think I am on the steep learning curve of SElinux issues. Not all of
my problems are rooted in it but keep in mind that if everything seems
ok then SElinux might be problematic.
I am runnning Fedora core 5
I have a moderate level of knowledge with Linux
I prefer RPM's but will compile where needed
network setup
modem/router Speedtouch 585
Name: Avalache
Required ports are being forwarded where needed for various
services. I still might have missed something
2 computers
telemark: workstation/laptop
Eurocom Viper M270s
snowdrift: server
Compaq Deskpro
For all the challenges bellow I have read the MAN pages, found howto's
read about fedora cases and non-fedora cases, and have asked peers where
possible.
Some areas of trouble
SAMBA/NFS:
When SElinux on the server is off they work. when it is on they fail.
The server and directories are visble in browsers, but accessing the
directories fail. So is this somthing I can rectify in Desktop > Admin
> Security > Selinux > modify > Samba?
telemark: Allow users to login to CIFS directories is checked
snowdrift: Same
Both computers have SAMBA allowed for firewalls and router is passing
the documented ports.
Any ideas?. Or maybe there is a post already (although I didn't find it)
VNC/Remote desktop
Follwed the fedora and VNC documentation. this includes setting up the
vnc text files. let me know if you want them posted and which ones are
important. Maybe I have one overriding another?
telemark: Server of monitor 2
mobile: Server on monitor 2
When I use vncviewer localy it works, when I got from telemark to
snowdrift then I result in no route to host. although I can ping both
the name snowdrift and its ip and get a positive response.
WIRELESS:
Alright here is a kicker... I have an ACX100 (D-link Dwl 650+) chipset
for wireless card. I am using windows drivers through ndiswrapper
It works, but is combuersome. I use both a wired and wireless conection.
my goal is the switch on the fly. i have tried hotplug, ifplugd and a
bunhc of other stuff but am lost.
Currently when I boot my computer without a network connection I need to
run a script first
#!/bin/bash
echo bringing up WLAN Device
sudo /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
echo ...
sudo /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 enc #########
echo ... ...
sudo /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid Avalanche
echo ... ... ...
sudo /sbin/dhclient wlan0
echo ... ... ... ...
echo finished bringing up WLAN Device
#End
Then I go into the network panel a activate network connection manually.
there are two errors in the activation script looking for SLEEP commands.
Then it is going. What I want to be able to do is unplug my wired
network and plug in pcmcia card and voila a seamless transport (ok I
don't expect to keep a secured connection). Where to?
Those are my network related questions. I figured one thread could
multiply instead of starting all the troubles in different threads.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
