kvpnc
- How to setup the kvpnc application so that it can be run without root privileges?
[edit]
VMWare
- VMware-server-1.0.1-29996 kernel module building does not work with Linux Kernel 2.6.19. Applying a patch as described at http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=532285 allows to build the kernel modules, but when loading files from a network drive from the host machine both vmware and the host system sometimes freeze.

Solutions
- How to setup VMWare that a network connection to the host OS is possible even if the machine is not connected to any real network?
- How to setup VMWare so that it does not loose its network connection to the host OS when the underlying real network goes down?
Use the NAT approach which is supported by VMWare. VMWare creates virtual network devices on the host system which are used by the guest system to communicate with the host system. Through NAT, transparent network access is possible from the guest OS.

Networking
- How to setup MPPE so that, when a connection is active and the underlying network goes down and up again with a different IP, a reconnection is possible? There seems to be some ARP issue or a IP address cache issue.
- How to setup NFS so that permissions granted for a host X also apply when the host X uses DHCP? (at the time the server evuluates /etc/exports, the host might not be known!)

DVD and CD recording
- CD recording on AMD64 now works when using the device file instead of the LUN syntax, but burning DVDs does not work yet. The burning process simply freezes after some MB. Recorder continues to blink, but growisofs does not report any progress anymore.
