If you *have* to enable root logins (not likely), please study the man pages of tcpd, and see if you can use it to limit the number of hosts who can log into your server. -Torvald - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] Xserver and fonts
by paspartu＠uni.net 01 Dec '98

Hi all, I'm using Gimp 1.0 which came with SuSE 5.3. Surfing around Gimp's site I read about a way for using lots of fonts even TrueType fonts. In order to do that I'm supposed to install xfsft. I must admit that the instructions to compile xfsft are not very clear (at least for me), furthermore consider that I am a bit scared to play with Xserver since I damage my monitor...well, there was the complicity of Sax forgetting it is just a program executing my directions...okay just keep it short...I would like to receive some tips or some suggestion before facing xfsft compilation or if there is a different solution to the fonts problem. TIA Maurizio - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Re: [SuSE Linux] Why cant people on mailing lists read?

Ok, ok, ok.. I sent the remove, but it was not intended to this mailing list, it was intended for some SPAM I received from a sex site, that said to reply with remove in the subject, I guess that this SPAM was sent to the list, so the header pointed that way, not the SPAM sender. P.S. Anyway, I really think that your insult is pretty lame, or you are too stupid to ask your diary in the first case, and to ask that kind of question in the second place, because it is OBVIOUS that that person can read. Anyway, as I answered to some other guy that sent me private email, I hope that you don't consider inside the Linux community, because the Linux community doesn't need people like you. ---Ole Kofoed Hansen <k01164(a)ko.hhs.dk> wrote: > > > > Dear diary, > > I have often wondered why people who can't read subscribe to mailing > lists. > > I have never heard of any list, where you unsubscribed by sending to the > list itself.

If you can ping anywhere using ip's only?----> then it sounds like you have a DNS problem. Make sure you have your nameservers setup in /etc/resolv.conf, and /etc/host.conf has something in it like hosts, bind If you can only ping the first ip hop out, I don't know.

[SuSE Linux] pppd hints
by stevep＠bash.linux-shell.net 01 Dec '98

01 Dec '98

Greetings, To those having problems with ppp, you might put debug in your suse options file so you can see what it is doing. (Or invoke: /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up <something> debug ) If there is a /var/lock/L* file for your modem existing before you dial, then you should rm it or something. Finally, I found that if you don't have your pap-secrets right, and possibly your name=<isp_name> (can't remember exact syntax) in your options file, it will drop the connection abruptly. In any case, check your /var/log/messages file after turning debug on.

lance, I had to download xpr from somewhere, most likely from one of the free X11 sites... I don't remember which one... you might also see if you can find xwd() as it works in conjuction with xpr() for dumping the root window... orry, if I had the exact sites on hand, I would have provided them.... dc ---------- From: Lance Heller To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [SuSE Linux] xpr Date: Tuesday, December 01, 1998 9:30AM I've not be able to find xpr in 5.3, is it supported??

As a sidebar, it must be considered very easy to unsubscribe to the suse lists, as the procedure is written at the bottom of every mail you get from the list. And if all else fails, you can't read the two lines on the bottom of every message and you have a policy of throwing away your subscription information, then a mail on the form "pleeease tell me how this works" would work a lot better than the usual (though not in this case, I must add) "Why the hell can't I unsubscribe just by writing whatever to the list?????"
