What I have accomplished Today:
1. I know how to change linux hostname /etc/sysconfig/network
2. linux hosts file is /etc/hosts
3. installing rarlinux-3.5.1.tar.gz requires compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.fc4.i386.rpm
4. installing ie4linux from www.tatanka.com.br/ie4linux (farsi major problems)
5. installing apache,php,mysql,phpmyadmin (using fedora core default installations is enough no manipulations required)
6. DO NOT use zip with GUI neither should you unzip with that as the result will be that your files will not be accessible via the web (the files unzipped to the web shared folder) tar xvf had the same problem, USE MC TO UNZIP and the COMMAND LINE to zip
7. Farsi fonts have all been rpm packaged: bfonts, farsiweb, un_beed_fonts and mscorefonts
8. I can connect with samba (gui and smbclient command), create samba mount points using fstab like this: /192.168.0.100/C$ /media/SERVERC smbfs username=user,password=pass 0 0
9. Samba server has to be installed and run and users must be allowed to pass through the iptables hole like this:
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --source 10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0 --dport 137:139 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p udp --source 10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0 --dport 137:139 -j ACCEPT
iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0 is my computer ip
****. DO NOT USE THE SAMBA SERVER SETTINGS IN system settings->server settings->samba
Right Click on the folders and share them instead
Samba users may be a subset of linux users using sampasswd -a -U user to add users
10. Compiling and installing almost any source in linux may be done as below:
./configure
make
make install
make clean
11. Running/Stopping service in RPM packages after rpm package installation is done in
System Settings->Server Settings->Services
12. knetstats the KDE network monitor installation from source requires MANY already distributed with linux packages including Qt which is spelled qt in the DVD rpm folder
ps: find /media/cdrecorder/Fedora/RPMS/ -name "*qt*.*"
13. Autorunning non KDE service like application may be done using
cd /root/.kde/Autostart/
knetstats.desktop is the file that has to be copied in this folder after finishing knetstats installation
Look at the file format for inspirations to make other similar ones
PS: kinit application_name did the same for me
14. IPtables and firewal settings I'm using the minimal one at
http://danieldegraaf.afraid.org/info/iptables/
A minimal clinet friendly config
