#kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`
Its the same as
#service rsyslog restart
But in a different way
There are another signals, each one can be represented by a number, here is a small list of signals available:
I realized that it did not change the PID of the process and I got an interesting comment about that saying that rsyslog v5 does not support HUP anymore.
Steps:
#yum -y install kernel-devel kernel-headers
#yum -y groupinstall “Development-Tools”
#cd /usr/src
#wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.30.2.tar.bz2
#tar -jxvf linux-2.6.30.2.tar.bz2
#cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.30.2/
#make menuconfig
#make clean
*#make dep (is no more necessary)
#make bzImage
#make modules
#make modules_install
#make install
*make install will copy the files: System.map, vmlinuz and the initial ram disk initrd-2.6.30.2.img to /boot. It will also add the lines you will need on grub, now just restart your computer and choose the new kernel on the grub screen.
Have Fun !!!
Follow the steps:
1) Install some dependencies using yum
#yum -y install rpm-build cabextract ttmkfdir xorg-x11-xfs
Paul Frields comment that he made a better spec, available here which does no require the chkfontpath dependence.
2) Installing the last dependence not available by yum
#rpm -ivh http://dl.atrpms.net/all/chkfontpath-1.10.1-2.fc9.i386.rpm
3) Making the msttcorefonts rpm
Now just open your openoffice the have fun with the new fonts(TImes new roman, verdana, etc …)

Last week I got a new hard drive, bigger faster, until this point everything was ok. I backup all of my data on an external drive. Then I decided to install everything (Vista and Fedora) again in my dual boot system.
I installed both operational systems, restored my backup, installed all the programs I like to use until Vista asked me to install the update “Vista Service Pack 1 – SP1″, bad decision 
Thinking in security I accepted the update, then I got the first error. Looks not usual, then Vista asked me “try again?” Then mistakenly I clicked in this button bad for me. After this update my windows stop working and did not allowed me even to start my system.
Then I got the recovery disks that come with my laptop, bad disks these ones. They erased all of my partitions erasing the bugged Windows Vista, but as a bonus erasing my Linux system that until this moment has worked with perfection in my system.
Now time to install everything again and again and disabled the automatic updates from Vista, from now all Vista updates will be verified one by one before I install then again.
Installing flash plugin for firefox in a x64 bits system
1) Go to the adobe website:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
2) Download the tar ball libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
3) Uncompress the tar ball
$ tar -zxvf libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
4) Copy the file libflashplayer.so in to the folder /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
5) Restart you firefox and enjoy
*If you still have some questions about the flash install on FC11, go to the fedora project website http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash
Two interesting links about post installations of FC11:

Release 1.0 is done
At now, preparing for the tomorrow’s presentation 
Thanks Professor Chris Tyler for the supervision and all the help in the whole process.
In my opinion this project was good and very challenging, but it was not as big as I would like it to be . I will try to think this was the first step in the open source world and the first steps are always the hardest ones. Its like a baby, that first learn how to crawl and later on how to walk. At this point I am taking my first steps.

Now is possible in my method to verify all the packages on the system or even only one !
The intention of this document is guide you step by step to install openswan on the Fedora Core 10.
=Hardware=
Toshiba Laptop Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of ddr2 667.
=Operational System=
Fedora Core 10 x64
*Default configurations
*Updated
=Installation Process=
To install Openswan in both computers, follow the steps bellow:
==Packages to Install==
*openswan
*ipsec-tools
*curl
#yum -y install openswan ipsec-tools curl
==Generate the keys==
To generate the keys, type the command:
#ipsec newhostkey –output /etc/ipsec.d/keys.secrets –bits 2048 –hostname play2.milton.ca
Remember to do the same procedure in both computers with the proper information.
After that edit the key file and copy the part with the public key and past in the /etc/ipsec.conf, also go to computer B, take its public key and past it in the configuration file.
”’Both computers must have the same configuration file”’
The configuration file of openswan is:
==/etc/ipsec.conf==
# /etc/ipsec.conf – Openswan IPsec configuration file
#
# Manual: ipsec.conf.5
#
# Please place your own config files in /etc/ipsec.d/ ending in .conf
version 2.0 # conforms to second version of ipsec.conf specification
# basic configuration
config setup
protostack=netkey
# Debug-logging controls: “none” for none, “all” for lots.
klipsdebug=all
#plutodebug=”control parsing”
plutodebug=all
nat_traversal=no
uniqueids=yes
interfaces=”ipsec0=eth0″ # interface that connects the computers
# VPN connections
conn play2
type=tunnel
# Left security gateway, subnet behind it, next hop toward right.
left=200.199.1.1 # output ip of computer A
leftsubnet=192.168.0.0/24 # subnet computer A
# RSA 2048 bits
leftrsasigkey=0sAQNj2pqKQARhiLkYakKhMJoovBacqR+6xh//2Bw2ZsgbOzl+wE5JOlFfTdD8Q+hWnyuULTl9c8O5fkrBcdDGWggF

# Right security gateway, subnet behind it, next hop toward left.
right=200.199.1.2 # output ip of computer B

# To authorize this connection, but not actually start it, at startup,
# uncomment this.
authby=rsasig
auto=add # former argumet = start
include /etc/ipsec.d/*.conf
=Configuring Additional Steps on the OS=
Create the following shell script in the folder /etc/rc.d/ and named it ”’vpn.sh”’
==/etc/rc.d/vpn.sh==
#!/bin/bash
#Thanks Nestor for the script
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/accept_redirects; do echo 0 > $f; done
for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/send_redirects; do echo 0 > $f; done
==Add a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local==
/etc/rc.d/vpn.sh
*Give the proper permissions in the file: #chmod +x /etc/rc.d/vpn.sh
==Initializing openswan==
#service ipsec start
==Verifying the Status==
#service ipsec status
or
#ipsec verify
==Activate the service on boot time==
#chkconfig –level 3 ipsec on
=Final Steps=
==Conectivity Test==
From computer A, try to ping computer B
If it was successfully you vpn is working fine.
Now Let’s stop the vpn
# service ipsec stop
From computer A, try to ping computer B again.
At this moment you are not supposed to ping computer B.
Then start ipsec and try ping from both computers.
To make sure everything is working properly, reboot the computer and repeat all tests.
The ”’tcpdump tool”’ could capture some traffic, just to make sure the traffic is encrypted.
=Logs=
The Logs for the OpenSwan can be accessed at:
/var/log/secure
and
/var/log/messages
=Final Consideration=
