I have downloaded this, but not installed yet. Soon, soon.
I mentioned that I stuffed my firewall settings a couple of days ago. I 
installed firestarter in the mistaken belief that it might help me 
understand what is going on. What happens now is that wheb I start up, the 
computer doesn't recognise the ppp0 interface. Yet, I have opened kppp and 
used evolution successfully. Now I don't want to install another firewall 
utility which may conflict with firestarter (even more!). So, how do I get 
rid of it? Or do you know of it and can help me to set it up properly? (I 
can imagine you tearing your hair out in despair!)

results from this:
# rpm -qa | grep samba

samba-3.0.0-15

I tried this and it said I needed some public GPG (PGP?) keys. What does 
this mean? I did not get fedora from an official package and maybe I should 
not be accessing official sites for packages. What do you suggest? I notice 
another thread where someone uses yum and offer a yum.conf file to drop in 
the correct directory. Would that be more appropriate? or maybe I need to 
change the repository to another one now before I downlaod swat?

What's the ettyket for leaving out bits? [snip]?

My note; winbind says it is working in level 5 but when I start up the 
messages say that winbind fail. Is this also related to Samba? Is it a 
service I need? Do I need DNS? Surely I can gat away with not having it?
