Hi (This message is part of a long running saga - "Dave displays his ignorance") I'm setting up an Intranet server based in Suse 8.0. I've not installed X windows. I want to change the boot options eg run Apache. I'm trying to add entries in /etc/init.d/rc3.d using ln -s /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S30apache -> ../apache but all I get is error messages. Should I have a file called S30apache before I link it? I've managed to do this before and I think I'm doing something silly ..... but what? Dave I

Data Logging Software
by Matt Hinds 15 Jun '02

15 Jun '02

Hi, I'm currently in the initial stages of putting forward a proposal to our science department to move to Linux (using LTSP to use lower spec client machines). However the only stumbling block I have is with the data logging software they use, Insight v3. Are there any decent datalogging packages out there (there's bound to be) that anybody is using. I think the equipment they are using is from Phillip Harris and plugs in through a standard serial port. Also when we're using LTSP will the local machine COM ports still be accessible even though the software is running elsewhere? (Forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question!) Thanks in advance.

German government deal
by paul 14 Jun '02

14 Jun '02

Slightly off topic, Following this deal / announcement, what is needed is perhaps a tie up between suse / ibm and perhaps the bunderslegue, to promote Linux, the publicty would be huge all those german players say bayern munich with Linux / Suse / IBM on their shirts, and / or perhaps advertising during championslegue games, IBM have the financial resources for this esp if they say they are using Suse like the intel inside advert, so when they say suse, up pops tux sitting on your cameleon thing. http://www.silicon.com/ebcs53774 Paul

Hi all Where/how can I set the equivalent of "ifconfig eth0:1 x.x.x.x netmask etc" in Suse 8.0 yast. It used to be simple in 7.x but all I can find is ways of adding eth1, eth2 etc. Dave Williams

X Server

Hi, I've got my server running SuSE 8.0 but now I can't connect to an X session remotely. What does the server need to know in order to deliver X to my remote workstations that it knew in 7.3 but doesn't in 8.0? -- Best wishes, Derek

Best using the mail relay on the FW - this is good security practice anyway. -----Original Message----- From: Gareth Edmondson To: Suse Cc: Suse Sent: 6/12/02 11:54 AM Subject: [suse-linux-uk-schools] SuSE Firewall2 Script I wonder if anyone has a Firewall2 script I could look at which uses IPTables to forward port 25 from external IP to Internal IP addresses.

Dave > Where/how can I set the equivalent of "ifconfig eth0:1 x.x.x.x netmask > etc" in Suse 8.0 yast. As Roger has said, you cannot *do it* in YASt, but you can take what yast has done so far and modify it to get your old startup behaviour. Let us assume that you have set up the primary address for your card. Briefly, you need to investigate the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network. In there you will find ascii files relating to the card you have set up one address for using YaST (probably called ifcfg-eth0. This will contain lines like: IPADDR=10.0.0.104 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BROADCAST=10.0.0.255 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 STARTMODE=onboot Look in the file ifcfg.template, where you will se the following advice ... # Multiple addresses (aka aliases) # There are several ways to assign more than one IP address to a network # interface. If you ever want to use YaST2 for this you should choose the # first possibility: # 1) one IP address per config file: # create multiple copies of your master config files and add ':<string>' to # the filenames of the copy. Prefer increasing number starting at 1. # 2) multiple IP addresses per config file: # You can extend the variable name 'IPADDR' by any string you like (IPADDR_1, That advice is slightly expanded in the man page for ifup. (I haven't continued the second section, as the first is what you need.) So all you do is copy your ifcfg-eth0 file to ifcfg-eth0:1 etc and then change the internal data to match your alias requirements. Happy hunting.

[announce] Leicester Linux Demo Day
by Clive Jones 11 Jun '02

11 Jun '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, As you may be aware there have been a number of install days going on around the country over the last few weeks. This Saturday (15th) it will be our turn, but we are going to be doing more of a demo day. The event is being held in conjunction with the Mathematics and Computer Science department of the University of Leicester. We will be using their large Debian based lab as machines for people to use, some of which will be running SuSE 8.0 on the day. (Thanks for the boxed set Roger!) We will be showing the LTSP which may be of interest to some of you, and a similar setup to that installed in a local college for student email (IMP based). They claim to have saved over £9000 in license fees already, with further savings expected as the use of the system is extended. Details of the day can be found at: http://www.leicester.lug.org.uk/lldd2002/ or email me directly if you require more info. Thanks for reading ;) Clive. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9BcQx+prcXMebSWQRAg76AJ0au7O1pzHIV6XgQaISoqNpPJ+7DwCfT8k8 82p/bYNUBnlD4YX67odV8bM= =+7RX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Running 3 servers on Duron desktops without issue (7.2 & 7.3) - running 8 on an over-clocked K6-2 desktop at home.
