[SuSE Linux] Samba and windows 98
by jboonen＠Worldonline.nl 29 Mar '99

29 Mar '99

Dear all, I have read that the passwords for windows 98 are sent encrypted. Has some setup samba in a way that you still can connect from windows98. Without changing the windows 98 registry. If it's via adding ssl in the samba distribution. Can you please tell me how it's done. And how samba needs to set up so it uses the ssl encryption? Thank you very much.

[SuSE Linux] Netscape Messenger/IMAP
by bernieg＠110.net 29 Mar '99

29 Mar '99

I have upgraded to 6.0 with moderate success but have a few problems. The most immediate and annoying one is that Netscape Messenger (4.50) has stopped working with the IMAP server my work email uses. It seems to log on to the server ok, says it is checking folders, etc., butit never gets beyond the 'opening folder' message. There is no error message, but no mail either! I can access the server fine from Windows Netscape (but don't want to!) and also from the Staroffice mailer though I much prefer the Netscape mailer if it works.

Re: [SuSE Linux] rpm's

Perhaps they are easier to install, but I dunno. I downloaded the Samba 2.2.x file as an RPM, and thought I'd installed it (I forget the exact RPM command, I think the one for updating an already-installed version "-U" maybe?) and I still have Samba 1.19.x on board. I downloaded several RPMs of various programs from the SuSE site, to correct "security" problems, and I'll bet none of them ever really installed either. But I'm not having any better luck trying to move from the 2.0.36 to 2.2.3 kernel, using tar.gz files either. I've tried twice, and all I get are a bunch of extra files and directories, and no way to tell which is which. I think I wound up with a complete copy of 2.2.3 installed *inside* another copy of a 2.2.3 directory. I followed the listing provided earlier (see 6.0 Finally arrive) by W.D. McKinney, but after I did "ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.2.3 /usr/src/linux" and tried "cd linux", I got a message saying unable to locate the file or directory. Yet when I went into /usr/src/linux-2.2.3 I could clearly see the link from linux to linux-2.2.3 I couldn't get 2.0.36 set up under SuSE 5.3 either, so I'm no worse off than I was before. But I think that's why people are waiting for SuSE 6.1. Why bother screwing around with something that never seems to work for you? Want kernel 2.2.3? or 2.2.4? Get a complete installation, blow away your old one, and re-install. Right now I've got SuSE 5.3 with kernel 2.0.35 on one hard drive and SuSE 6.0 with kernel 2.0.36 on another, and as soon as I find something that worked under 5.3 not working under 6.0, I go back to the other drive and see if I can find the *.config or *.conf file or whatever, and see what it looks like. And since I can't seem to send output to the printer, I have to e-mail the file to myself and pick it up on another computer. -----Original Message----- From: zentara <zentara(a)mindspring.com> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: Sunday, March 28, 1999 8:21 AM Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] rpm's > >"Benjamin A.

Hi, One more other thing I wanted to mention about my attempts to go from kernel 2.0.36 in SuSE 6.0 to kernel 2.2.3 (which is the most recent one I've seen on the SuSE site), is that everyone talks about mv /usr/src/linux. Guess what? I don't *have* a /usr/src/linux directory. Was one supposed to have been created when I installed SuSE 6.0? Should I install one now, or can I leave my 2.0.36 stuff where it is (in a directory called linux-2.0.36.SuSE)? It seemed to me totally reasonable that 2.0.36 is in its own directory, and 2.2.0, 2.2.1...2.2.4 would each be in its own directory, and you'd just use a symbolic link to get to whatever version of the kernel you wanted to use. So am I missing something?

[SuSE Linux] Why kppp infinetely initializes the modem?
by alex＠daniloff.com 28 Mar '99

28 Mar '99

Hello everybody! I want to use 2.2.4 kernel with my SuSE 6.0 distro. When I invoke kppp and try to establish connection with the Internet kppp tries to initialize the modem and does it infinetely and looks like a frosen. I returned to my previous 2.0.36 kernel through LILO reconfiguration and everything is working again with the same setting in YAST, rcconfig, resolveconfig, /ppp and so on. What is a problem ? When I compiled new 2.2.4 kernel I included all nessesary PPP SLIP supports. What and where should I tweak in the setting to make my modem work?

[SuSE Linux] PPP connection
by dan_tudor＠home.ro 28 Mar '99

28 Mar '99

Hi everyone, I need your help on one problem. I used to connect to the Internet using Dial Up Networking in Win98, checking the option "Bring up terminal window after connecting". That is in a terminal window I give my username and password, after a string of weird characters appear and I press "continue", and within few seconds I'm connected. I recently switched on Linux (SuSE 6.0) and I'm here to stay - that's for sure. I tried to connect using a KDE tool, very similar to Dial Up Networking, and I also have the option of logging onto network using a terminal window - and everything works smoothly until I see the characters string and I press the "continue" button. In within seconds I get a message saying that "The pppd daemon ended unexpectedly" and I'm disconnected. Can you help me by telling what I should do? I'm not afraid to learn how to edit configuration files, so if you think I should'n use the KDE "dial up" environment and if you could suggest me an alternative way, I'm also very interested. Thank you very much.

[SuSE Linux] Dumb question: how do you use BZIP2 ?

I need to uncompress some bzipped files, so I've installed the program from the CD's. But I don't know how to use it. When I type man bzip, the thing tells me there is no such a man page!

[SuSE Linux] bzip2
by g.rizzo＠usa.net 28 Mar '99

28 Mar '99

Exploring my Linux, recently I began to appreciate bzip2... It's really a wonderful archiver, expecially paired with tar; outstanding compression rate and speed and all... But, but, it would be really useful to me if I could manage .bz2 (or .tar.bz2) archives also in windowsxx, for example for distribution of files among the friends of mine. Do you know any program that can decompress these archives, for example as WinZip does with tar/gz ones?
