kmail and cryptplug
by joortwein＠12move.de 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

Hello, after updating my kmail client on my SuSE 8.2 system to version 1.5.4 via suses kde packages from their server, I can't use the s/mime cryptplug. So when i get a signed e-mail, the message "Nicht genügend Informationen zur Überprüfung der Signatur vorhanden: [Details] Status:Es ist ein Systemfehler aufgetreten." appears. Sorry, its a german system. So I try to translate it "Not enough information available to validate the signature" "Status: A system error has occured" Also it´s not possible to sign or decrypt messages via smime. Is there anybody who knows what to do? Unfotunately I can´t find any information in suses support db. I´ ve seen a similar problem on the list but no solution for this problem best regards Jochen __________________________________________________________________ Turbospeed zum Turbopreis!

KMail keeps giving me an error that gpg doesn't have a passphrase, when it does. Does anyone know of a fix? Thanks, Fred -- "...Linux, MS-DOS, and Windows XP (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)."

I do, however, have to reset the time FREQUENTLY as 9.0 can't keep it correctly. 8.2 didn't have that problem.

Strange Mozilla Freeze
by Andrei Verovski 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

Hi, I have upgraded SuSE 8.2 to 9.0 and encountered strange problem with Mozilla (1.4 and 1.5, both SuSE built). Whenever I am trying to type text in URL input box or form field, Mozilla simply freezes. Clicking URL from bookmark is OK. The same happens with other Gecko-based browsers: Firebird and Epiphany. However, Opera and Konqueror are not affected, as well as ALL other Gtk/Java based programs. I have reinstalled all Gnome/Gtk libs, Mozilla, wiped our prefs, run reiserfsck, nothing helped. Anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thanks in advance. ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************

fonts in the kde console
by Bessert, Dr. Nicolas 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

Sorry for having again such a stupid problem: I have to identical machines, with the same SuSe 8.2 installation (they only differ in the xemacs and latex packages). I have different fonts for the kde console. Because my home is the same on both machines the user configuration should not be the reason for that. So which system configuration data must be the same, so that I have the same fonts available under KDE on both machines? thanks Nicolas _______________________________ Dr. -Ing.

Problems with Java in Konqueror
by Mike Béla 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

HI! I ask again my question raised a few days ago. I'm using SuSE 9.0 Professional Edition, KDE 3.1.4 and java2-jre 1.4.2. MOZILLA (v1.4) and OPERA (v7.21) can play perfectly Java Applets, but the KONQUEROR Web Browser cannot open them in spite of the fact that I had configured the proper reaching path. Can anyone send me a suggestion? Best Regards, -Bela-

german text: file permission security leak in SuSE 8.2 by default
by Puschmann, Paul 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

Hi, sorry for the german text... The original text is from http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/ju-18.11.03-002/ ========== KDE-Konfiguration manipulierbar Einem Bericht auf der Mailingliste Bugtraq zufolge sind bei manchen Linux-Distributionen globale KDE-Konfigurationsdateien mit falschen Zugriffsrechten versehen. Insbesondere die Datei kdeglobals ist bei SuSE 8.2 für jeden lokalen Benutzer beschreibbar. Damit kann ein Angreifer anderen KDE-Nutzern des Systems Konfigurationseinstellungen unterschieben und unter Umständen durch Autostart-Mechanismen sogar Programme mit dessen Rechten ausführen lassen. Anzeige heise Security konnte das Problem bisher nur auf einem SuSE-8.2-System verifizieren. Dort waren die Dateien /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kmailrc /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kioslaverc /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdeglobals.SuSEconfig /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdeglobals für jederman beschreibbar. Globale Konfigurationsdateien mit Schreibrechten für alle Nutzer spürt das Kommando find /etc -type f -perm +2 auf. Bisher ist uns kein Hersteller-Patch bekannt. Das Problem lässt sich jedoch durch den Befehl chmod og-w /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdeglobals für alle betroffenen Dateien einfach beheben. ============ The files /etc/opt/... (as shown above) are write-able for everyone! On this way, the Autostart-entries and other things can be manipulated. To find other files with this lack use : find /etc -type f -perm +2 And to remove this security leak: chmod og-w /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdeglobals kind regards, Paul
