KerbyServer

This is a quick one, to make Fedora systems act like the Debian and Ubuntu's default of not putting duplicate commands in ~/.bash_history, add the following line to /etc/profile:

HISTCONTROL=ignoredups

I recently found a useful tool for cleaning up unneeded RPMs and finding problems in the RPM database of installed packages. Just install yum-utils and then you can use the package-cleanup command with its various options.

With openvpn already installed via yum:

su -
cp -a /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa /etc/openvpn/
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0
vim vars

Edit the following:
export KEY_COUNTRY="US"
export KEY_PROVINCE="VA"
export KEY_CITY="Chesapeake"
export KEY_ORG="KerbyServer"
export KEY_EMAIL="admin@kerbyserver.net"

Save the file, and more commands:

./vars
source vars
./clean-all
./build-ca
./build-key-server server

Go with all the default entries.

./build-key kerbspb

Again, go with the defaults.

./build-dh

As much as I love Fedora, occasionally I find myself wishing it would do a certain thing like Debian or Ubuntu. A while ago, I posted a way to sort the ps command like Debian in Fedora. This time, I found out how to transplant another of Debian's defaults to Fedora.
