Pam_mount on SuSe 9.1
by Rob Keeling 06 May '05

06 May '05

I am trying to install SuSE 9.1 as a workstation in a NT 4 Domain network. The default suse 9.1 install installed winbind etc, and configured them allowing me to log on to ssh with a NT username and password. I now want to configure pam_mount to mount a subdirectory of the unix home directory as the NT home directory. I had configured this on an old SuSE 8.1 box, so I think /etc/pam_mount.conf should be OK. However, having added auth and session lines for pam_mount into /etc/pam.d/sshd I can only get to the stage that in /var/log/messages I see pam_mount: error trying to retrieve authtok from auth code How do I enable pam_mount? My /etc/pam.d/sshd file is as follows #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_unix2.so set_secrpc auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth optional pam_mount.so use_first_pass account required pam_unix2.so account required pam_nologin.so password required pam_pwcheck.so password required pam_unix2.so use_first_pass use_authtok session required pam_unix2.so # trace or debug session required pam_limits.so session optional pam_mount.so use_first_pass # Enable the following line to get resmgr support for # ssh sessions (see /usr/share/doc/packages/resmgr/README.SuSE) #session optional pam_resmgr.so fake_ttyname Thanks Rob Keeling -- I love deadlines.

Gigabit ethernet
by Miles Berry 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

We're about to migrate to a new server after four years of (almost) uninterrupted service on our old box. I feel quite sad about this somehow. Can anyone recommend gigabit ethernet cards that they've found will work out of the box with SuSE 9.1? If not, what have you got working and what did you have to do? Thanks in anticipation,

Everything network seems to work, even down to onboard gigabit ethernet in highend laptops. On occasion there might be something you have to add from through the online update process because of licence restrictions, but in general stuff just works. If you want to play safe, SysKonnect have supported Unix/Linux for years. -----Original Message----- From: Miles Berry [mailto:mberry@st-ives.surrey.sch.uk] Sent: Fri 10/29/2004 3:24 PM To: suse-linux-uk-schools(a)suse.com Cc: Subject: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Gigabit ethernet We're about to migrate to a new server after four years of (almost) uninterrupted service on our old box.

Burning bafflement
by M.Blackmore 29 Oct '04

I dunno why this isn't working on this 'ere fresh installation of suse 9.0. I've never had a problem with this before and don't have a clue what the error messages in K3b are trying to tell me. It's just worked out of the box with other computers ... The setup is a DVD and a LG burner. K3b faults out on an attempted copy of the SUSE 9.0 CD (I installed from DVD but need a CD install on a pc for my daughter, and of course the suse cd won't read on her cd won't it, so I am trying to copy from a CD reader that actually reads the disk, and if can't get to burn can't install her nor help out Simon who needs a cd copy to replace a duff disc he's got in his set...). The error messages are these: No cdrdao driver found Please select one manually in the device settings For most generic drives this would be "generic-mmc" Cancelled (surprise surprise) all current files removed. Well, when I go to the configure K3b menu option it shows these devices: Reader: Memorex DVD etc. Writer HL-DT-ST CDRW GCE-852... (whatever is behind the dots I can't seem to get expanded to read). Nowhere can I find anything remotely like generic-mmc, nor can I find anywhere to write this in. Whatever the hell generic MMC is ...! I'm stuck. What am I looking for?

Had similar problems on 9.1 (2.6.5-7.57) - upgrading to 2.6.5-7.111 resolved the problem.

Do you have cdrdao installed? > I'm stuck. What am I looking for? It's more a question of what I'm looking for. What is the output of the command: "uname -r". Indeed, if it is a 2.6 kernel, then cdrecording is iffy unless it is of a certain version. The other option is permissions, but I haven't enough information to support that. -- Thomas Adam ===== "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- http://linuxgazette.net "TAG Editor" -- http://linuxgazette.net "<shrug> We'll just save up your sins, Thomas, and punish you for all of them at once when you get better.

(Great distro, just > I know how suse > works...) Not really. I've used SuSE for some years - and I think it's superb (I bought most versions from 6.4 onwards, so I put plenty of cash their way). I grew tired of the upgrades. Apt-get upgrade gives you a spanking new updated system in Debian (e.g. when a new version of KDE or Gnome comes out), and with a Squid box caching .deb packages, it a dream to administer. > If you can check the getent command, I will get the > config files from work > over to you.

setting up suse 9.1 client
by Simon Marsden 17 Oct '04

17 Oct '04

Hi I am interested in setting up Suse 9.1 client in my school. Although we use Linux servers and I use Suse on my laptop. I could do with some help or suggestions as to how I can set it up so that any of our users can log on as they would on a Windows client. The server is running Samba 3.? something. I know Samba reasonably well but I guess smbclient would not be the best route to go down. Any help gratefully received. Kind regards Simon

Last time I tried it, worked just fine under Wine, upto and including feedback sounds. Not tried the latest version though. Maybe we should re-awaken the "school apps on Wine" certification database?
