[SuSE Linux] How to make Sendmail secure?
by eivindo＠bgnett.no 24 Mar '99

24 Mar '99

Hello. I'm currently running SuSe Linux 6.0, which I ham very happy with. But, I just noticed that it looks like the default setup of Sendmail allows for spam-relaying. What do I have to change to make sure it doesnt allow relaying? I hope someone can help me here.. ;) -- Eivind Olsen - eivindo(a)bgnett.no -- 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] Yamaha OPL3-SAx sound chip
by ericlum＠mindspring.com 24 Mar '99

24 Mar '99

Does anyone here have any experience with making this sound chip work under SuSE Linux 6.0?; it's attached to the motherboard (Intel 440LX), so is not a true isa sound card at all, so I don't know if working the soundconf module does anything. The only information I have about it, I gained from reading hardware device info, under Win98, as follows: Device: YAMAHA OPL3-SAx WDM Driver Resources: IRQ: 05 I/O: 0220h - 022Fh I/O: 0530h - 0537h I/O: 0388h - 038Fh I/O: 0330h - 0331h I/O: 0370h - 0371h DMA: 00 DMA: 01 I tried as many combinations with the kernel as I could, using MSS/WSS, Yamaha OPL3-SA1, 2, Soundblaster, whatever. No luck (I don't quite understand what all the I/O references mean, what they refer to). I also tried using the latest OSS package downloaded from their site, but I get an 'incompatible kernel' error when I run it (I'm running 2.2.3). Any tips out there?

[SuSE Linux] Block Devices
by andy＠forum.demon.co.uk 24 Mar '99

24 Mar '99

I am trying to install Yard-SQL from the SuSE Linux 6.0 CD-ROMs. Part of the installaion instructions, concerning the cfg file, state that: 'The device /dev/ryard3 is just an example for using a raw device. Some operating systems (eg Linux) do not have raw devices. Use block devices in these cases.' The cfg lines to which this refers are: # dbspace device size offset F ROOTDBS /dev/ryard3 200000 0 Can somebody please explain what 'raw devices' and 'block devices' are, and what I should put in the cfg file? -- Andrew Tuson -- 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] Calling all LDAP developers!!!

There is something I have been working on for the past week. It's pretty interesting. I would like to see it become more popular. Mostly because I want to be able to use it. It is a perl module for writing LDAP interfaces. Take a look at the url if it sounds interesting. Go ahead an poke around on Mozilla's site. It's pretty cool.

[SuSE Linux] Linux mangled my partition table... any way back??
by jsnorman＠megsinet.net 24 Mar '99

24 Mar '99

I have a tri-boot system: sda1 win98; sda2, sda5, and sda6 OS/2; and sdb5, sdb6 linux (swap partition for Linux is on sda 7). Unfortunately, I created this scheme using linux's fdisk. Now, I want to resize my sda partitions using partition magic (or fips) but, to my horror, I find that linux's fdisk has a documented "bug" that causes it to create non-sequential partition bounderies, e.g.: sda1 1-300 sda4 301-1200 sda5 500-1200 sda6 301-499 This "bug" (or feature if you will) causes both Windoze and OS/2 to be unable to read the partition table!!! And more importantly, makes it impossible to resize a partition. The Partition Magic people recommend blowing out the enture partition table and recreating it using OS/2 or Win98 fdisk. There must be a better way. I am looking for solutions. I have the following idea but do not know how to implement it: renumber the partitions so that they are in sequential order. In the example above, sda5 and sda6 would just be swapped. This would of course change the drive lettering, but I can deal with that (I think). The question is how to edit the partition table to reflect the correct sequential order of partitions??? -- 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 for backing up MS Win and OS/2??
by jsnorman＠megsinet.net 24 Mar '99

24 Mar '99

I want to start to use Linux to backup my Win98 and OS/2 systems (which are on a different hard drive on the same computer using OS/2 bootmanager). I want to do this for two reasons: (a) no locked files since the Win98/OS2 systems will be inactive when Linux is running, and (b) my backup device, a PD650MB rewritable optical drive on ultra scsi is 10-20x faster under Linux (!!!!). I plan to use tar with compression (also much faster than anything in Win98 or OS2 commercially available). Here is my question: if I backup every file using tar on my Win98 and OS/2 partitions and then delete and recreate these partitions (see my other post as to why I am doing this -- linux's fdisk mangled my partition table), will I be able to restore successfully using to following procedure: (a) tar everything to my PD, (b) shutdown linux and boot to my a: drive OS/2 boot disks, (c) run os2 fdisk to delete and recreate the bootmanager partition and the os/2 partitions, (d) boot to my a: drive Windows boot disks to recreate the windows partition, and then run fdisk /MBR to restore the boot loader for windows, (e) boot back to linux a untar everything to windows partition, (f) boot to my os/2 boot disks, and using the OS/2 tar (gnu) program, untar everything to the appropriate OS/2 partitions. Will that work??? I am especially concerned about the extended attributes in OS/2; will that tar/untar procedure wipe out my EA's??? Is the OS/2 tar program fully compatible with Linux tar?? Similarly, for Win98, are there any hidden files or other considerations that would screw up my system using this procedure? Any help would be greatly appreciated as always. -- 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>>
