This is a good question, because indirectly, it asks the question "How many linux developers are working on the Mozilla code base for a linux distribution?" On Slashdot, there was mention of the new Netscape engine being very fast and that the new engine is the first real return on releasing the source code. The new linux version of Netscape may be very impressive. lunaslide * PGP key->pgpkeys.mit.edu port 11371 * * * * * * * Cornflakes are not the innocent critters they seem to be. * -Sterling Morrison * * * * * * * * - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Lenz, Will there be any changes to the way these programs are config'ed in 6.0? Or what about more/better info in the SuSE 6.0 manual about them? I could never get ipmasq/diald/fw work together.

[SuSE Linux] Bash and suid
by root＠magellano.tuscania.it 11 Dec '98

11 Dec '98

Hi, I set up a script which basically do the following: #! /bin/bash cp /secret_dir/file_secret /public_dir/file_not_secret # end of the script In this way a user with no privileges can have the file_secret copied in his directory (I know it sound strange but it's exactly what I want). How can I convince bash to have the proper right to access secret_dir and do what I want? I thought that setting suid bit would have worked but bash inherit the rights of the user who execute the program (i.e. the user with no privileges which in my case are not enough).

Re: [SuSE Linux] Diamond Stealth speedstar AGP 8 meg graphics card CONFIGURE XWINDOWS
by JTORRES＠WHOPPER.COM 11 Dec '98

11 Dec '98

I just recently had similar problems with a NeoMagic card. This is how I fixed my problem. 1. Download the latest XFree 3.3.3 from <A HREF="ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/</A">ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/</A</A>> 2. Print the Release Notes, they have the installation instructions for this version of XFree. 3. Download the following files for both glibc ( <A HREF="ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc/"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc/</A">ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc/</A</A>> ) and libc ( <A HREF="ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-libc5/"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-libc5/</A">ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-libc5/</A</A>>) . They are about 14 megs, and you will only install one or the other, but it saves time to get them all. Unless you know for sure if you are running libc 6, in which case you will need glibc. preinst.sh Pre-installation script postinst.sh Post-installation script extract XFree86 extraction utility Xbin.tgz Clients, run-time libs, and app-defaults files Xdoc.tgz Documentation Xfnts.tgz 75dpi, misc and PEX fonts Xlib.tgz Data files required at run-time Xman.tgz Manual pages Xset.tgz XF86Setup utility Xjset.tgz XF86Setup utility (if you prefer the Japanese version) XVG16.tgz 16 colour VGA server (XF86Setup needs this server) Xcfg.tgz sample config files for xinit, xdm 4. Download the server you need: X3DL.tgz 3Dlabs server X8514.tgz 8514/A server XAGX.tgz AGX server XI128.tgz I128 server XMa32.tgz Mach 32 server XMa64.tgz Mach 64 server XMa8.tgz Mach 8 server XMono.tgz Mono server XP9K.tgz P9000 server XS3.tgz S3 server XS3V.tgz old S3 ViRGE server (please use SVGA server) XSVGA.tgz SVGA server XVG16.tgz 16 colour VGA server (XF86Setup needs this server) XW32.tgz ET4000/W32, ET6000 server 5. Copy these files to your /var/tmp directory. 6. Execute the following commands: cd /usr/X11R6 sh /var/tmp/preinst.sh When you run the preinst script, you will get a message confirming whether you need the files from libc or glibc. Make sure you use the right ones. 7. Make installation utility executable by : chmod 755 extract 8. Execute the following commands: cd /usr/X11R6 /var/tmp/extract /var/tmp/x*.tgz This will extract all the tgz files. 9. Execute the following commands: cd /usr/X11R6 sh /var/tmp/postinst.sh The system will prompt you to run ldconfig. I ran it since I have Linux 5.2 Once this completes, run your XF86Setup and begin enjoying X! Make sure you read the release notes so you get the necessary details. The information above is just a summary of the information contained in the release notes. The whole process should not take you more than 1 hour. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

<ADDRESS>Title: fonts...</ADDRESS> Hello, I know they're awfully simple questions, but: can I recompile the kernel as for Pentium, as I have a K6-2 3D? Has anybody already tried? how can I change fonts of xterm from fvwm2? how can I add a scrollbar to the windows? I can't explain why some files compiling on OW Sun, are not working under my linux. I compiled with gcc and I get no errors, but no object files!!! Any help is welcome! best regards, Stefano Papini <A HREF="mailto:stefano.papini@intercai.etnoteam.it">mailto:stefano.papini@intercai.etnoteam.it</A>

RE: [SuSE Linux] WvDial for SuSE Linux
by Bjorn.W.Nilsson＠edt.ericsson.se 11 Dec '98

11 Dec '98

Good decision! I've been using wvdial for some months now, and while not having any tcl button (or whatever it is) it finally made me able to connect to the Internet with SuSE in a simple and effective way. The built-in YaST set-up never worked for me. :-( Setting up Wvdial was a breeze that took me a maximum of 10 minutes, as opposed to the approx. 10 hours that I spent trying to get the YaST way. (I've used RedHat before, and the built in setup there was also very simple and functional.) Björn -----Original Message----- From: Lenz Grimmer [<A HREF="mailto:grimmer@suse.de">mailto:grimmer@suse.de</A>] Sent: Friday, December 11, 1998 2:00 PM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.de Subject: [SuSE Linux] WvDial for SuSE Linux Hi, we are currently working on integrating WvDial in our distribution. We would like to get some feedback about the package, so we've decided to put it on our ftp-Server, where it should appear RSN: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/wvdial-libc5.rpm"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/wvdial-libc5.rpm</A">ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/wvdial-libc5.rpm</A</A>> There's also a glibc-Version (wvdial-glibc.rpm). Please send comments and reports to feedback(a)suse.de. Here comes the README: WvDialer is a powerful PPP dialer which supports many complicated login procedures automagically (via menu guessing and some kind of internal logic). Steps to install and us WvDial on SuSE Linux 1. Install wvdial (you have probably already done that ;) Make sure that the packages ppp(Series n) and tix(Series tcl) are also installed. 2. as user root call wvdialconf. This will autodetect your modem port and maximum port speed. It defaults to save 57600 YoMama # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Scanning your serial ports for a modem. ttyS0<*1>: AT -- AT -- AT -- nothing. [...] If should find a modem on one of your ports. 3. Install a default /etc/ppp/options, it should contain just the lines lock debug You can easily create it manually using the following commands: YoMama # cat >/etc/ppp/options lock debug <Ctrl+D> YoMama # 4. Start the X-Windows system (if it is not already running) 5. as user root execute wvdial.tcl YoMama # wvdial.tcl & This will start our GUI frontend to WvDial. The dialog should be almost self explaining. 6. Start dialing using the <Test> Button 7. A Window opens and WvDial should start running Have fun! PS: all this will soon be much more comfortable, we just felt that a quick release would be a major benefit for many of our customers. If something goes wrong (i.e.: you cannot connect to your provider) feel free to send feedback to us: feedback(a)suse.de . That's _feedback_, not support :) Be sure to include the login session log in your mail, which you can redirect to a file using the command: YoMama # wvdial >/tmp/wvdial.debug 2>&1 Just wait long enough for your modem to complete dialing and then Interrupt wvdial using <Ctrl+C>. Attach /tmp/wvdial.debug to your mail and send it to feedback(a)suse.de. We then have the opportunity to check what's wrong and fix it for the next release.
