It's disappointing that this bug was reported on a SuSE mailing list at least four months ago and they have not fixed it.
Have they even published the fact that this bug exists? How can I search their bug tracking database?
Actually, they have mentioned something on their site about this at: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/02/pohletz_xntp_drift.html
Hi Phil, Your post raised several issues: These are my personal opinions based on reading the list and other available info: o SuSE bug tracking is "private" and not accessible to general users. Reason. They were getting too much spam and most "reported" bugs had to little info for them to reproduce them and thus staff wasted time chasing their tails... o You said, "bug was reported on a SuSE mailing list" and not fixed" Comment: Some of SuSE people read the list from time to time, but this is not the formal way to report feed back to SuSE. That is: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/feedback.cgi o Searchable: I have had good luck searching the Archieves with google. Others like: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ o Posting "solutions". SuSE trys to post solutions in their "support data base", like they did with: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/02/pohletz_xntp_drift.html I don't doubt that they would appreciate technical people who are so inclined to submit "sdb" solutions, folloing their format. Given the above, what many of us do is keep a file of "problems" and their solutions. Others contribute to Togan's FAQ. And others have gotten the passwords so they can contribute to SuSE bug tracking list. Hang out a while and all will be revealed. In the meantime the Support Data Base, along with Togan, google and marc are your friends. Hope this helps, -- If we weren't all crazy , we *would* go insane.
