Creating /etc/resolve.conf
Suse 7.3 Pro, 1.2gig AMD box, 512 Ram, I reinstalled Default with Office to try to correct my Kppp not working. Now it states "can't find /etc/resolve.conf must create with appropriate permissions." I can't find how to do this file work in the reference or config manuel. Any hints or page #'s? Thanks, Keith

As root, go to /etc, then touch resolv.conf chmod 644 resolv.conf then edit resolv.conf to look something like this: search myisp.com nameserver aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd nameserver aaa.bbb.ccc.eee where your isp 's name is put in there, and your nameserver addresses are placed in there. These values are best entered in rc.config by editing the system configuration file with yast. Also there is a setting in yast, to allow suseconfig to change resolv.conf for you. Turn it off, if it keeps giving you problems. -- $|=1;while(1){print pack("h*",'75861647f302d4560275f6272797f3');sleep(1); for(1..16){for(8,32,8,7){print chr($_);}select(undef,undef,undef,.05);}}

what security setting did you choose? What do you get if you do ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd? Did you set kppp to set nameservers for you? regards Anders
Hi, Did not choose a security setting, went with default, and DID chose "enable firewall" towards the end of installation. ls -1/usr/sbin/pppd gets me either "no such directory", or invalid command, depending how I type it. Kppp (internet dialer in 7.3) does not have a place to put in nameserver or "mwt.net" address, like windoz, and even windoz seems to be automatic (dynamin?). Another time it connected for a fraction of a second, then kppp crashed and gave this message:Unable to access /var/log/syslog.ppp, /var/log/syslog, and also /var/log/messages. It says "error message 17"- For further info, go to devel-home.kde.org/~kppp/index.html, but when i do, the server cannot find the page, and the www.kde.org site has no search or Kppp manual pages I can find.

that should be ls -l not ls -1. the letter L in its smaller variety. And there should be a space between ls and -l, and between -l and /usr/sbin/pppd No other spaces need apply.

It really sounds like pppd isn't suid root. try the ls command again. You should get something like -rwsr-sr-- 1 root dialout 206856 Sep 20 06:13 /usr/sbin/pppd Note the two s-es (how do you pluralize 's' in writing?). If you don't have any s there then that's your problem. If you do, then I'm completely wrong and will shut up for the rest of the year (about three more hours :). //Anders
Suse 7.3 most of files on reiserfs Several important files look like they've been overwritten with various data. /etc/httpd/httpd.conf CGI.pm /sbin/YaST a customer's httpd.conf I think there are a lot of perl files corrupted as well. probably more. The source of the files looks totally random- my passwd file showed up in YaST, along with a lot of html. What's worse is that I tried to reinstall yast with rpm -iv yast.rpm and it seg faults. Some of you will remember that I had some mkreiserfs and debugreiserfs processes stuck in a D state awhile back, while the filesystems appeared to be working correctly. This all showed up when I when to the colo and rebooted. Any ideas what might have caused this? If its an exploit, its a pretty pointless one. There hasn't been any unexplained traffic to or from the box (according to the switch), chkrootkit hasn't found anything- more likely I think it's a Reiser thing. thanks- --
The Reiserfs list is very good at responding to file system problems. However you would need to supply much more detailed information -including logs. Brian Marr On Thursday 03 January 2002 15:15, you wrote:

Fire up your favorite editor and make a new file called /etc/resolv.conf (you need to be root to write to /etc.) Enter nameserver (ip address of your ISP's first name server) nameserver (ip address of your ISP's second name server) You can have up to three nameservers listed. Depending on how you want the resolver to behave, you can have options such as domain or search set. See resolv.conf (5) for details. --
