Please help, I beseach the.....!!! I've set up cable modems for RoadRunner (Time-Warner) and @Home - both totally different. @Home was FAR EASIER!!! Anyway, can you ping the ISP's DNS? Do they use a login client? Try this: boot Windows, and make sure you can communicate normally, then unplug the cable from eth0, boot Linux, and wait until you are logged in to plug cable back in. Then ping the DNS and then some other site (not www.microsoft.com - they will not respond). Let me know what happens.

[SuSE Linux] File Locking
by hlarons＠ComCAT.COM 23 Feb '99

Can some guru point me to a reference that covers the above subject? I can't find a clue in my trusty "Running Linux" or the SuSE 5.2 manual, or even in an (unsophisticated) Web search. "Dot Lock," "flock," whatever, I can tell they're important but I haven't a clue. Help, anyone, with an URL?

Re: [SuSE Linux] SSHD on Linux/Unix, ssh on NT w/X-term emulation?
by alex＠physical36.chem.ufl.edu 23 Feb '99

23 Feb '99

Here is what my sysadmin had to say about this aspect of ssh: --------------------------- Hi Alex This part is true: > It is my understanding that using a device such as $REMOTEHOST:0.0 would > send the x-windows information in the clear on the normal x port (what ever > that is) However, ssh always sets up the DISPLAY variable to be localhost:M.0 where 'localhost is the machine you are ssh'd into, and 'M' is some unique number (starting at 10, I believe). This is how it does the encrypted tunneling. So to make sure you have an encrypted X connection, just check that the DISPLAY variable. For example, when you ssh into mailey from p36, your DISPLAY var will be something like 'mailey:11.0'. This is encrypted. If you set DISPLAY=physical36:0.0 then it won't be encrypted. -------------------- I have to admit I had done it always wrong because I didn't know better, being used to exporting the DISPLAY variable manually when I telnet into a different host.

[SuSE Linux] KDE 1.1 on ftp.suse.com and mirrors
by grimmer＠suse.de 23 Feb '99

23 Feb '99

Hi, /pub/suse_update/KDE/glibc/1.1-with-qt-1.42 does indeed also contain pre2-Packages. My apologies, I just checked our local directories. It seems, that the mirroring of the packages has gone wrong somehow. We are investigating on this. Nevertheless, the symbolic links in this directory point to the correct 1.1-final packages in the subdirectory "RPM". Sorry for the confusion...
