[opensuse] Network config and connecting to devices on different routers
Having a bit of a problem figuring out how to configure some computers, the network and the routers they are connected to. I am still at the conceptual stage here.. just trying to get my mind around how to configure this setup. I have a setup that works something like this..... Router_1 has Computer_1, Computer_2, and Router_2 connected to it. Router_2 has a Computer_3, Computer_4, and Printer_1 (network printer) connected to it. Computer_3 and Computer_4 have the Linux drivers for the printer installed and are configured properly to see the printer as a network device on Router_2. Now the problem... I want to be able to print from Computer_1 and Computer_2 to Printer_1. How (or what) do I tell the computers on Router_1 to connect to the printer on the other router? I know the IP for the printer on Router_2, but... that IP is not on the same subnet. Not sure how to proceed here. Any suggestions or hints?

Which is why you have a router between them. You now need to set up a static route on Computer_1 and Computer_2. This should tell them to use Router_2 to reach IP( Printer_1 ). /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Hello, I've got a server running on 10.3 and want to set, that only root can shutdown the system. What I did is set DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN=none in the /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and after a init 3 and init 5 it worked. Selecting the log out in the KDE menu gives me only 'End Current Session'. So far so good. This is what I want to have. But it seems to work only if I connect localy, if I connect to this system via VNC I still can see the button 'turn off computer' and 'restart computer'. Which shall not be there. If I try to shutdown the system with this button in the VNC session, it won't do it which is a releive :). But still to prevent from confusion, those selections should not be there. Why is this still there in the vnc session and how can I disable these buttons?

My guess is that VNC does not inherit its settings from displaymanager. I remember from Zenwalk that there was a specific shutdown script/program that was used by XFCE to shutdown the computer. Maybe you could find the openSuSE equivalent and change the permissions on that program so the user can't shutdown. In other words, if the user does not have permission to the shutdown script then it should not matter which graphical desktop you use.

Simple (minimal configuration and maintenance) way: if the routers support RIP, enable it and install/start routed on the linux clients. They will learn the route to get to printer 1 automatically. Manual configuration: ensure that router 1 has a route to router 2 (and vice versa). Either set the default gateway on computer 1 and 2 to router 1, or enter a manual route to printer 1's subnet via router 1 into computer 1 and 2. Set the printer's default gateway to router 2. That, after all, is what routers are for - to route packets between differnet subnets. My suggestion - if you want to learn how routing works, do it the manual way first.
