[SuSE Linux] Call-back with SuSE 6.1
by Luch＠osi.nnov.ru 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

Hi, everybody I'm new to Linux. Installed SuSE a couple of weeks ago and now trying to get some functionality. I have trouble setting up call-back (SuSe 6.1<---> ISP's NT Server 4.0) with optional number (fixed as well). Tried to use wvdial, but with no success (it dials OK, but then seems like doesn't know what to do next). Can it do the trick? I feel that maybe some scripting could help me. Could anybody provide me with necessary directions (or direct to the information) for making a flexible script and what software I need installed or some other approach? (I've read PPP-HOWTO but don't know if the information it contains applicable to current SuSE version; it doesn't say anything about wvdial). One more thing. Is it necessary to set the proper values in "resolv.conf" and host.conf? Some other files? I actually tried to find the answer and found a sample ppp.conf with brief instructions on settings (from Free-BSD as I remember), but can I use it with SuSE 6.1 and how? Any help will be greatly appreciated (tired from constant W$ + Netscape crashes) Vyacheslav -- 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 archive 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>>

[SuSE Linux] Linux in a PCB Shop
by pglidden＠ix.netcom.com 31 Jan '99

This might not be the place to ask, but here goes: My brother works in a printed circuit board shop (not a PCB assembler, they make the acutal panels.) In his shop they use a program called Pro-Manager, a dos based Computer Integrated Manufacturing program geared specifically for the PCB industry. The link to a description of the software is here: <A HREF="http://www.proms.com/WEBPROMS/AProManager.htm"><A HREF="http://www.proms.com/WEBPROMS/AProManager.htm</A">http://www.proms.com/WEBPROMS/AProManager.htm</A</A>> My question is: Is there a Linux equivelant out there? This system is getting old fast and they are looking to upgrade/replace this system. If you don't know of a linux replacement, do you know of other places I could ask?

[SuSE Linux] On the fly cd mastering with xcdroast?
by suse_list＠hotmail.com 31 Jan '99

Hi all, Thanks for all your help in setting up my cd burner. Xcdroast is awesome, exactly what I needed, thanks. One question though, is it possible to do on the fly cd mastering with Xcdroast? I think you can do it with the command line cdrecorder but it didn't work for me. If xcdroast won't do it can someone tell me how to do it in command line?

[SuSE Linux] Re: Can't keep time

Brad Shelton <bshelton(a)ole.ole.net> responds: >After you set the time, you need to write it to the hardware clock. >Othwise it'll continue to get the wrong time from the hardware clock. > >To set the hardware clock, as root do clock -w. Thanks, Brad, and others. I guess it goes to show how long it's been since I've upgraded; my ancient Slackware setup wrote to the hardware clock whenever I did a simple `date.' I'd never heard of the `clock' or `hwclock' commands. Another question occurs, though. In my previous setup, changes to/from Daylight Savings Time were automatic. I assume knowledge of these changes is in the Linux software, not the hardware clock, but in any case, I never had to perform any administrative tasks at that time of year. In fact, I could check with Linux if I was in doubt if this was the time of changeover. Since I bought this machine just before last fall's change from DST, and I rarely reboot, I suspect SuSE 5.3 does NOT update the hardware clock after the DST change, but the normal Linux date routines know when the change occurs and adjust the soft clock, and that's why I didn't know anything was amiss. What do you all recommend now to cope with DST? Should a routine be added somewhere to write to the hardware clock when a change to/from DST occurs, say, as a twice-a-year cron task? If so, does anyone have a favorite cron spec for USA DST? I'm suspicious that my hardware clock is likely not very accurate, given that it seemed to be off noticably in the short time I halted my machine in my testing. What do you folks recommend as a source of accurate time? Is your computer crystal clock pretty good? Do you periodically dial up a standards bureau? Favorite suggestions? Given all the capabilities of clock(8) and hwclock it's tempting to go for some accuracy. My current /etc/adjtime is all zeros.

[SuSE Linux] SuSE 6.0 & Kernel 2.2 ?
by deem＠wdm.com 31 Jan '99

31 Jan '99

My question is the 6.0 version out of the box working with 2.2 ? This is the changes that it needs : Current Minimal Requirements **************************** Upgrade to at *least* these software revisions before thinking you've encountered a bug! If you're unsure what version you're currently running, the suggested command should tell you. - Kernel modules 2.1.121 ; insmod -V - Gnu C 2.7.2.3 ; gcc --version - Binutils 2.8.1.0.23 ; ld -v - Linux libc5 C Library 5.4.46 ; ls -l /lib/libc.so.* - Linux libc6 C Library 2.0.7pre6 ; ls -l /lib/libc.so.* - Dynamic Linker (ld.so) 1.9.9 ; ldd --version or ldd -v - Linux C++ Library 2.7.2.8 ; ls -l /usr/lib/libg++.so.* - Procps 1.2.9 ; ps --version - Procinfo 15 ; procinfo -v - Psmisc 17 ; pstree -V - Net-tools 1.49 ; hostname -V - Loadlin 1.6a - Sh-utils 1.16 ; basename --v - Autofs 3.1.1 ; automount --version - NFS 2.2beta40 ; showmount --version - Bash 1.14.7 ; bash -version - Ncpfs 2.2.0 ; ncpmount -v - Pcmcia-cs 3.0.7 ; cardmgr -V - PPP 2.3.5 ; pppd -v - Util-linux 2.9g ; chsh -v Taking a look at Net-tools as a example, 2.2 needs 1.49 but SuSE 6.0 has 1.46 ? So now my question, is there any rpm's updates coming out to use 2.2 ? <A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/n1/"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/n1/</A">ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/n1/</A</A>> doesn't have a update for Net-tools ? Just thinking about it since I subscribe to SuSE and would like to use the 2.2 kernels.
