==== Fedora Project ====

 * Issued an [[https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/smbldap-tools-0.9.5-4.fc9|update for smbldap-tools]] that fixes a race condition that may cause `nscd` to be killed if multiple `smbldap-tools` processes are run in parallel ([[RedHatBugzilla:476504|Bug #476504]]) and also fixes some incorrect dependencies. I'd originally tried to do this over a week ago but the Fedora 10 build failed due to the builder trying to upgrade `openssl.i586` to `openssl.i686`. I raised [[https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1282|Infrastructure ticket #1272]] about this but there's been no response so far.

==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `gtkwave` to 3.2.1
 * Updated `perl-File-Find-Rule-Perl` to 1.06

==== New ADSL Router ====

I bought a ''!SpeedTouch 546v6'' router to replace my ancient ''!SpeedTouch Pro''
router that won't support ADSL2+ as I'll be going on !PlusNet's 21CN trial soon.

After doing the standard "easy" setup to change the LAN address to suit my home network,
I needed to configure the router to do PPTP-to-PPPoA bridging so that I could do
the authentication from my Linux firewall/router box and, more importantly, have the
WAN IP address on a local interface on that box. Whilst this could be configured using
the GUI on the ''!SpeedTouch Pro'', the CLI is required on the ''!SpeedTouch 546v6''.
Setup was as follows, using `telnet` to log in to the router.

Firstly, clear the standard configuration out of the way:
{{{
:ppp relay flush
:eth flush
:ppp flush
:atm flush
:saveall
}}}
Then create a suitable phonebook entry for a UK ADSL connection (VPI 0, VCI 38) and enable the PPTP service:
{{{
:atm phonebook add name=ADSL_PlusNet addr=0.38
:service system modify name=PPTP state=enabled
:saveall
}}}
On the Linux box, I used my existing configuration based on my `pptp-plusnet` package, and just changed the PPTP server's IP address to that of the new router, restarted the `plusnet` service and it all sprang into life.
