I have two systems. One is a laptop and has rsyslog. The other is embedded system that doesn't have rsyslog. What I'd like to do is log messages from the embedded system on the laptop.

I've configured the laptop /etc/rsyslog.conf to listen on TCP port 10514:

netstat -nlp | grep 10514
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:10514               0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      30280/rsyslogd      
tcp        0      0 :::10514                    :::*                        LISTEN      30280/rsyslogd

On the embedded system I'm sending, a test message with netcat:

[172.17.0.33: ]# echo "Test Message 1" | nc -w2 -p 10514 172.17.0.16
nc: can't connect to remote host (172.17.0.16): Connection refused

Is rsyslog expecting anything special in the packet? Does it require both systems to have rsyslog? Any other reason I'd get "Connection refused"?

I would like all of my organizations RPMs to have a vendor defined so we can easily see which of our RPMs are installed. Does anyone know why Fedora says:

Do not use these tags:
Packager
Vendor
Copyright

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package

They give no reasoning at all.

If not using "Vendor" are there recommendations as to another method that is commonly used for this purpose?

I apologize in advance for my ignorance. We just switched from Fedora 8 to Fedora 15. I would like to make gnome-fallback the default desktop environment for all users. Via google I've found that:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'gnome-fallback'

will set it for the current user only. I've done a little reading about Gconf and gconf-tool2.

Apparently there's a way to make gconf settings default for all users, but I don't see how gconf associates to gsettings.

What am I missing?

Here's some additional information about what I'm trying to do:

I'm creating a Fedora liveCD which is stripped down for my application. The liveCD needs to come up in gnome-fallback and then every user after that to also use gnome-fallback by default.

I have a service that runs on the liveCD it can run any shell commands that are required.

gnome gconf fedora
