There is a file in /etc/nsswitch.conf. After you added the nameserver you did check to ensure you have this file set for dns on hosts and network? Also, you need to recycle the network daemon (don't remember which one that is) after these changes. -----Original Message----- From: <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> at Internet <IMCEACCMAIL-+3Csuse-linux-e+40suse+2Ecom+3E+20at+20Internet(a)mail.crc.com> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com at Internet <IMCEACCMAIL-suse-linux-e+40suse+2Ecom+20at+20Internet(a)mail.crc.com> Date: Sunday, January 10, 1999 10:55 AM Subject: RE: [SuSE Linux] PPP Again > >On Sun, 10 Jan 1999, Chris Martin wrote: > >-> >->Vicente A.S.

Sorry to hear that. Things to check before you start over (if you are up to it) First check /etc/nsswitch.conf to ensure you have enabled dns lookup for the services you want (in this case host and network). Second ensure /etc/resolv.conf has the domain search name correct and the entries "namesever xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" for each nameserver you want. I can understand your frustration. HOpe it works for you! -----Original Message----- From: <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> at Internet <IMCEACCMAIL-+3Csuse-linux-e+40suse+2Ecom+3E+20at+20Internet(a)mail.crc.com> To: <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> at Internet <IMCEACCMAIL-+3Csuse-linux-e+40suse+2Ecom+3E+20at+20Internet(a)mail.crc.com> Date: Sunday, January 10, 1999 7:45 PM Subject: [SuSE Linux] PPP still not workin' > >Hello all, > > I think I'll give up, I'll resintall the whole system this night >just >one more time without dns, a minimal system just with ppp and I'll did >the >things that appear on a spanish linux magazine to see if it works.

[SuSE Linux] Security issues with Linux flavors
by R-Hinton＠govst.edu 10 Jan '99

10 Jan '99

Dear SuSE enthusiast, A bunch of friends of mine are arguing about cost and security issues of various OS's related to Unix, i.e. BSDi, FreeBSD, RedHat Linux, etc. They seem to be unaware of SuSE. Anyway, is there information about the reltive security holes in these OS's, including SUSE (which I use). From time to time I hear about RedHat finding and sealing various security holes. Cost is realted to fixing the damages that an unwanted visitor, visited upon a working system.... Richard N.

[SuSE Linux] Problems installing. WordPerfect 8
by cardoso.a＠mail.telepac.pt 10 Jan '99

10 Jan '99

I dont know if the subject was already discussed, since I am just arriving into this group. However here is the question. After a few hours of downloading from download.com I got the 7 files composing WordPerfect 8.0 for Linux. I gunzipped and untared them (had to use switch -f with gunzip for gui01 to gui06) Tried to run ./Runme and my terminal switched to PC graphics mode becoming unreadable. A lot of lines was displayed and, I suspect, there was one or 2 questions that just got Return has the answer. I decided to stop with Ctrl/c. Started X interface and, from xterm started agains ./Runme. It asks if all the files were unziped/untared: my answer is "y". It says "Nothing new to install" and stops. Tried several to delete everything and restart the whole process, but NO LUCK! Can anyone help me?

[SuSE Linux] "Linux Today" article on Linux security
by bparker＠dc.net 10 Jan '99

Hello: Here is an article from "Linux Today" on Linux security--"System Security - User Level - part.1"--for those on this list concerned with this topic. Here is the URL: <<A HREF="http://x.unicom.net/LinuxToday/current/lt-011598-security.html"><A HREF="http://x.unicom.net/LinuxToday/current/lt-011598-security.html</A">http://x.unicom.net/LinuxToday/current/lt-011598-security.html</A</A>>>. Also, here is a webpage devoted to Linux security: <<A HREF="http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~grapeape/security.html"><A HREF="http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~grapeape/security.html</A">http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~grapeape/security.html</A</A>>>. Some subjects are: (1) How to use the default TCP wrappers and disable unneeded services. (2) Controlling the suid root binaries. Maybe this will provide those who are totally new to security issues with places to read and learn.

[SuSE Linux] Linux locks up when starting X

Hi... I have compiled my 2.0.36 kernel with modules support for my old SB16 (non pnp) card. When I insmod the sound driver before starting X, my linux machine crashes when X is started. (before the screen with the mousepointer pops up). If I first start X and then insmod my sound driver all is okay. Can someone help me?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone out there might know how to make the DOCKING option permanent in Kmix (KDE). I have set it and apply, but after reboot, it is no longer set. I can find no documentation on kmix on the web site or in the KDE help html's ... Also, is there a way to make an aplett that is autostarting in X / KDE run minimized and can you pass a parameter for required input on startup I.E. printqueue manager wants to know if you want BSD or LPRING typ queue ???
