We've been having major problems with SuSE 6.2, which we received on
Friday. We still haven't got all things right regarding installation.
These are the problems:

The default installation of sendmail is entirely non-functional, and I
have lost several important work-related emails as a result. It's
completely intolerant to the server straddling two networks (ie: is a
masquerading host for the rest of the house network), and has basically
been assuming everyone is a spammer and is rejecting everything. Our
attempts at fixing this only made it reject half of everything. We have
now deinstalled sendmail completely, I can't afford to lose more emails
like this, and we're picking up mail directly from our ISP using POP3.

Even more important: We upgraded our network card to a PCI NE2K clone to
a 3Com 3c905B-TX. Since that time, whenever we run YaST the machine
crashes completely. We've been able to set up and start the network card
manually and it all works fine, including coming up from a bootup, but
even with the network configuration being correct, now starting YaST
still causes a complete crash. Every time. As you can imagine, this is
extremely serious.

Help! :-)

We are running the latest YaST from the FTP site (1.01.3) as well as all
the other patches currently available there. The crashing YaST problem
is exactly coincident with us changing the ethernet card.
