Eazel desktop on SuSE?
by Daniel Casey 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

Saw a post on linuxtoday.com and decided to take a look at it. They say they have .rpm's for RH, any chance this might work on SuSE 6.4 or 7.0? I thought about giving it a go tonight for drill, but wanted to post to the list and see if anyone else has tried. BTW, thanks a bunch for the responses about upgrading to the new kernel! I will definately wait. It's not a big deal for me to wait. Thanks again, Daniel

Important BIND updates
by Fergus Wilde 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

I'm sure this is old news, but has everyone running BIND noticed the security vulnerabilties and patched versions of BIND now on the SuSE site? Just in case, because CERT and so on seem sure there will be exploits out for these vulnerabilities this week.

Graphical front end interface for MySQL?
by Alex Daniloff 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

Hello Linux folkz, Does somebody know about any good graphical front end interface for MySQL database besides the one that provided with webmin package? I'm implementing MySQL on Linux SuSE 7.0 Pro platform at my workplace but our data entry 'specialists' are complaining about nessesity to work with MySQL in command prompt. I hope to find graphical MySQL interface for them that could partially resemble some or most of features that provided with M$ SQL7/2000 database. Any suggestion are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Alex -- MS Windows users should be covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Re: [SLE] losing mouse and keyboard

The mouse is a three button Logitech Mouseman. The keyboard is VA LInux oem that appears to be standard. Yast identifies it as type PC 104. The connectors go to PS/2 ports. I neglect to mention that I have two PCs and a mac connected to a Belkin OmniCube for common use of keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The monitor is a NECMultiSync FP950. Both PCs have been running RedHat without any problem. > If you haven't got anything on a USB port then you shouldn't have to worry > about some messages on it during bootup. > I would think so too. But it seems very strange that enabling the USB IRQ lets me get a lot further without a freeze of kb and mouse. I veriied this again yesterday. Thanks for your response .....Jack

Re: [SLE] my apsfilter environment messed up

I am looking for clues as to what might give the impression that something is missing when it isn't. Like you suggest, it is a UNIX* 101 mistake, just not that one. Directory permissions is the only other thing that I suspected, but the whole / /usr /usr/bin tree is world readable and executable. Someone off-list suggested deleting and reinstalling my whole print system, including ghostscript and my /var/spool/lpd tree, (it worked for him after harden_suse broke printing for him) but I am reluctant to do this until I find out what really went wrong. harden_suse is guilty only by association - I have no evidence to even put it on trial. btw - my installed driver was uniprint, but the system doesn't even get far enough to invoke ghostscript anymore. dproc *UNIX is a registered trademark - last I heard The Open Group owned it but it keeps changing hands so don't sue me if I'm wrong

Due to M$, Linux companies are quitting...

This is... http://satirewire.com/news/0101/linux_quit.shtml Pretty funny! Enjoy! :-) Matt PS Actually this is a very good thing, the general Internet media are not falling to MS FUD's as much as they used (although a lot of people will still do...).
