__TOC__

== General Notes ==

*This is an Fedora Core 6 Starter Guide. It is not associated with Fedora and RedHat, inc.
*Guide is tested on a default "Personal computer" installation of the Fedora Core 6 with default packages.
*If you see a bluish box, this means you have to execute the commands in Terminal mode (Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal) or use the content of that box as mentioned in some other instructions.
*To reduce typo mistakes, copy and paste the commands into Terminal mode (right click on the commands -> "Copy" or "Paste". You can also use Ctrl+C to copy and Shift+Insert to paste it)
: '''Note:''' You must run these commands as root. Before you get to do anything you must type

su -

:And enter your root password.

:'''or'''
*Read [[#How to get a shortcut to Root Terminal]]
*If you don't like working in Termonal mode read [[#How to install Graphical User Interface for yum]]
*"yum" and "wget" requires Internet connection to install/update/download programs
*Hope this guide will help you

==== How To use Yum ====

*Read [[#General Notes]]
*Read [[#How to add extra repositories]]

Yum is a very powerfull package manager. yum will resolve dependencies for you and makes installing applications a breeze. yum also searches, removes, and lists packages for you.

usage: yum [options] < update | install | info | remove | list |
clean | provides | search | check-update | groupinstall |
groupupdate | grouplist | groupinfo | groupremove |
makecache | localinstall | erase | upgrade | whatprovides |
localupdate | resolvedep | shell | deplist >
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t, --tolerant be tolerant of errors
-C run entirely from cache, don't update cache
-c [config file] config file location
-R [minutes] maximum command wait time
-d [debug level] debugging output level
-e [error level] error output level
-y answer yes for all questions
--version show Yum version and exit
--installroot=[path] set install root
--enablerepo=[repo] enable one or more repositories (wildcards allowed)
--disablerepo=[repo] disable one or more repositories (wildcards allowed)
--exclude=[package] exclude package(s) by name or glob
--obsoletes enable obsoletes processing during updates
--noplugins disable Yum plugins

From a first look this can look rather intimidating, but this is rather easy.

:'''Examples:'''

*To seach for a application
Yum will search all your enabled repos and tell you where you can obtain the package from

yum search application_name

*Yum can list all available packages from your enabled repos and tell you where you can obtain the package from:

yum list available

*To find out more info about some package

yum info application_name

*Installing applications
Inastalling is as easy as

yum install application_name

*Listing rpms
yum can list installed rpms for you from the repos you have enabled

yum list extras

*Removing rpms
Yum can remove a application and the dependenciesit installed with tat application. it will not remove depenencies if another application installed needs them.
yum remove application_name

*Updating the system
Yum can update the system for you with out user interact if you want it to.
yum update

*Not sure if you have upates?
yum check-update

*Local install
downloaded a rpm and cannot install it with rpm because of dependencies?
yum localinstall /path/to/the/rpm

:''Happy yumming...''

==== Activate side-mouse-buttons in FireFox ====
Just add two lines to xorg.conf will activate side-mouse-buttons in FireFox. This should work with most 5-button mouse. Here is a list of mice that worked with this instruction.
* Logitech MX510
* Logitech MX518
* Logitech MX700
* Intellimouse Explorer (first edition)

Backup Gnome configuration file
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak

Modify the Gnome configuration file
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Find the Input Device section for your mouse and add two lines as shown below. You may also increase the number of buttons if your mouse has more than 7, just fix the rest of the section based upon the number of buttons (remember back/forward, wheel click & tilt left/right all count as buttons)

Change:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
...
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
...
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection

to:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
...
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
...
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection

At this point you can reboot your computer or reboot Gnome (Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace) to see if your forward/back buttons work in FireFox. They still won't work in Nautilus yet until you install the imwheel dameon.

==== How to install Graphics Driver (ATI) ====

*Read [[#General Notes]]
*Read [[#How to add extra repositories]]

yum -y install ati-fglrx kernel-module-fglrx-$(uname -r)

*If you have an Intel motherboard, you will have to modify your xorg.conf file after installing the drivers:

gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

*Find the following line

Driver "fglrx"

*Add the following line below it

Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

*Some users may experience problems with certain FIREGL cards (in my case an ibm t43p laptop with a v3200 ati firegl) whereby projects such as cedega and wine refuse to work with 3d graphics, but native binaries work fine. A possible workaround is to add the following line after those mentioned above

Option "UseFastTLS" "2"

*This option used to be configured with the older ati drivers when you ran "fglrxconfig". I have not yet found a way to get it to appear with "aticonfig", hence the manual insertion. This option is good for several linux distros I have tried, fedora core 5, ubuntu dapper and suse 10.1

<pre>
rpm -Uvh http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/fc5/pptp-release-current.noarch.rpm
yum --enablerepo=pptp-stable install pptpconfig
</pre>

===== Configure PPTP Config =====

Launch it beneath Internet, then input the following fields as described:

''Server Tab'':
* Name - short description of this connection
* Server - dns server name or ip address of the target PPTP server
* Domain - domain name if using Windows or Active Directory authentication
* Username - simply your username to login with
* Password - the password to use with the username above

''Routing Tab'': For Routing Style select 'Client to LAN'. Then click Edit Network Routes then add the target network in the following format "192.168.0.0/24' for all IP Addresses in the block 192.168.0.*. Next type a short name for this network route and click Add.

''DNS Tab'': Checking Automatic is recommended, if this doesn't work however you can specify DNS Servers in the Server box. Also input something like "search mycompany.com" in the Options field which will make host name resolution simpler.

''Encryption & Misc Tab'': Defaults here should be good, but if you are troubleshooting you can uncheck everything.

Finally click Add then Start

== Security ==

==== What are the basic things I need to know about securing my Fedora ====

*Read [[#General Notes]]
*Ensure hard drive is first in BIOS boot-up sequence
**To prevent trespassers from using Linux Installation CD which allows them to gain root user access
**To prevent trespassers from using Linux Live CD (e.g. Fedora/KNOPPIX/MEPIS) which allows them to destroy/browse/share the entire hard drive
**To prevent trespassers from installing another Operating System
*Ensure a password is set for BIOS
**To prevent trespassers from changing the BIOS boot-up sequence
*Ensure computer is located at a secured place
**To prevent trespassers from removing computer's hard drive which allows them to destroy/browse/share the entire hard drive from a different computer
**To prevent trespassers from removing computer's on-board battery which resets the BIOS password
*Ensure passwords used on the system cannot be easily guessed
**To prevent trespassers from cracking password file using brute force attacks (e.g. John the Ripper)
**Create password with minimum length of 8 characters
**Create password with mixture of characters/numbers, and upper/lower case
*Ensure interactive editing control for GRUB menu is disabled
**To prevent trespassers from modifying kernel boot-up arguments which allows them to have root user access
**Read [[#How to disable all interactive editing control for GRUB menu]]
*Ensure history listing is disabled in Console mode
**To prevent trespassers from seeing previously issued commands
**Read [[#How to disable history listing in Console mode]]
*Ensure Ctrl+Alt+Del is disabled in Console mode
**To prevent trespassers from restarting the system without permission in Console mode
**Read [[#How to disable Ctrl+Alt+Del from restarting computer in Console mode]]
*Ensure interactive option is set for remove, copy and move of files/folders in Console mode
**To prevent accidental removal/overwritten of files/folders
**Read [[#How to enable prompt before removal/overwritten of files/folders in Console mode]]
*For day to day usage, login as a normal user
**To prevent accidental deletion/modification of system files/folders
**Read [[#How to add/edit/delete system users]]
*Disable root user account, use "sudo" instead
**To reduce the amount of time spent with root privileges, and thus the risk of inadvertently executing a command as root
**"sudo" provides a more useful audit trail (/var/log/auth.log)
**Read [[#How to disable root user account]]
*Install a Firewall
**A firewall does not guarantee security but it is in most environments the first line of defense against network based attacks
**Read [[#How to install Firewall (Firestarter)]]
*Perform vulnerability test
**Nessus is a great tool designed to automate the testing and discovery of known security problems
**Read [[#How to install Vulnerability Scanner (Nessus)]]
