RE: [SPAM] - RE: [suse-security] System Update and Online Update - Email found in subject
Thanks. I feel fou4s is better than YOU. My kernel is k_deflt-2.4.19-120 and YOU can not detect the new kernel patch for me by running system update. I have tried with SUSE site. The question is that the site is password protected. Is there workaround of it or how can I get the login info. Ben On Apr 16, Gao, Ruidong <Ruidong.Gao@landesk.com> wrote:
Where is patch description file in disk. Is that bundled with fou4s or SUSE. Where can I find a template of it?
The patch descriptions are on the FTP Server. You can use any of them as template, e.g. http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/8.2/patc hes/XFree86-51260
I came to run fou4s and ended up with following error message: ---------------------------- linux:/home/ben # fou4s -u You are using ftp.gwdg.de and a business product, this will probably not work. [...] What's wrong with it.
You need to use sdb.suse.de as update server and supply SuSEUser and SuSEPassword in fou4s.conf, because updates for business products are on password protected servers. I'll make the error message more clear in the next version. Markus
Hi,
Thanks. I feel fou4s is better than YOU.
--> this is a matter of taste. And the speed of YOU has improved considerably in SuSE 9.0
My kernel is k_deflt-2.4.19-120 and YOU can not detect the new kernel patch for me by running system update.
--> I think neither fou4s nor YOU can update the kernel automatically for SuSE < 9.0. Kernel updates need special attention and care to make sure everything will work afterwards. I used to download and install kernel updates manually for my SuSE 8.0 systems.
I have tried with SUSE site. The question is that the site is password protected. Is there workaround of it or how can I get the login info.
--> You should have received the login data when buying the SLES distribution. Is there any specific reason you run SLES 8.0 instead of SuSE (Pro) 8.0 ? I don't know SLES very well and I think you have to buy the maintainance support for this product separately. You sure can find more about it on the SuSE website.
