[SuSE Linux] backward "compatibility"
by m.lusetti＠mo.nettuno.it 20 Mar '99

20 Mar '99

I moved to 2.2.3 with any problem, the "problem" , if so it could be called, is that any info in the /proc f.s. and some other things are changed starting from the ipchanins that now (i thought) include much more thing and maybe the info about routing. I saw in Documentation/Changes that not *ALL* the minimal requirements are satisfied but the kernel compiled correctly. Can anyone (maybe from SuSE) explain me more the policy from what the 6.0 was made with ?

But could you clarify "...in your default path." I realize this is truly basic. Please forgive my ignorance. I'm only just beginning to get comfortable with this command line stuff. BTW, I just upgraded from Redhat 5.2 to Suse 6.0 last night. All went well. I will try oss and your suggestion tonight If that goes well I'll compile 2.2.2 or 2.2.3.

[SuSE Linux] samba problem
by zentara＠mindspring.com 19 Mar '99

19 Mar '99

Hi, I'm just trying to get samba going as an intellectual exercise. I'm running into a roadblock. The last time I tried it , was back with Suse5.1 connecting to win95, and I was successful. I used a simple command. mbmount //z2/c /B -I 192.168.0.2 where /B is where I'm mounting, and 192.168.0.2 is the address of z2. Now it dosn't work. When I try it, I get asked for a password, then the password is always rejected, and it says check the smbmount page for info. Well, I changed the "security=user" to "security=share"; and I did the win95 registry change to set EnableClearTextPassword=1 I still get the same error message. I have the smbd and nmbd lines in inetd.conf uncommented, and samba and inetd are started in yast. Anyone have a clue? I prefer NFS anyways, so I'm ready to chuck samba if I can't get this to go. -- 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] xmodmap
by mlmayo＠texas.net 19 Mar '99

19 Mar '99

Hello, Does anyone know of a good clear resource for xmodmap ? I have a Sun(style) type5/pc keyboard and would like to map the keys on the left of the kbrd to their respective duties in CDE. I've tried xkeycaps in SuSE6.0 but with no luck. I thought I would get lucky there since it has my keyboard listed but it does not respond correctly.
