10.3.30 File System Change Notification for
GNOME Applications
For proper functionality, GNOME applications depend on file system change notification
support. For local-only file systems, install the gamin package (preferred) or run the
FAM daemon. For remote file systems, run FAM on both the server and client and open
the firewall for RPC calls by FAM.
GNOME (gnome-vfs2 and libgda) contains a wrapper that picks gamin or fam to provide
file system change notification:
• If the FAM daemon is not running, gamin is preferred (Rationale: Inotify is support-
ed only by gamin and it is more efficient for local file systems).
• If the FAM daemon is running, FAM is preferred (Rationale: If FAM is running,
you probably want remote notification, which is supported only by FAM).
10.3.31 Starting an FTP Server (vsftpd)
By default, xinetd no longer starts the vsftpd FTP server. It is now a stand-alone
daemon and you must configure it with the YaST runtime editor.
10.3.32 Firefox 1.5: The URL Open Command
With Firefox 1.5, the method for applications to open a Firefox instance or window has
changed. The new method was already partly available in former versions where the
behavior was implemented in the wrapper script.
If your application does not use mozilla-xremote-client or firefox
-remote, you do not need to change anything. Otherwise the new command to open
a URL is firefox url and it does not matter whether Firefox is already running or
not. If it is already running, it follows the preference configured in Open links from
other applications in.
