Why did it work flawlessly when I rebooted several times? Doing the math, the DHCP client said it got a lease for 1800 minutes, which is 10 hours. That's about when the whole system collapsed. Why would eth1 (the non-DHCP'd interface) suddenly lose its routing? When I got to the machine (two reboots later), the dummy interface had eth0's parameters, eth0 was 0.0.0.0, and eth1 was OK (192.168.1.254). Total weirdness - never saw the likes with RedHat's DHCP. OBTW - RedHat's distribution of Gnome LinuxConf has YaST begging for mercy (and I thought YaST was cool compared to Red Hat's control-panel). The DHCP client I was using is the one on the SuSE website. SuSE makes an awesome workstation, but I can't get it to route for beans. Anyway, being the money-grubbing capitalist republican that I am, I'm going to focus on where the money is, and in the US, RedHat's got the ticket. At least I can acknowledge whose slave I am. > It is available with good installation instructions.

[SuSE Linux] Netscape (again)

Hi folks, Sorry for this but yesterday I wasn't paying attention and I deleted a lot of my e-mails. Those e-mails contained the solution to the problem why Netscape keeps saying that it can't find that host with every adress. Could somebody post the solution for this problem again ?

For the earlier samba-versions (i.e the one shipped by suse 5.3), the way to add users is smbpasswd -a. For newer versions I think there is a command smbadduser.

[SuSE Linux] penguins, do you know the way to San Jose?

LinuxWorld kicks off soon. Be sure to look around the exhibition hall carefully for the vmware demo. If you dont know vmware, check out www.vmware.com for information. I wont be there unfortunately but would like to be. I did help build a few of the systems running a variety of things. No more on vmware. You got to see it to believe it. I think that there will be a lot of joy in linuxland after the linux jamboree. Sorry to sound rather secretive; but just wait and see. There is big news on the horizon. Check out slashdot and other places for new on linux. I forecast that linux will gain a lot after and during linuxworld. Bye and have a good show if you go.

[SuSE Linux] any conclusion regarding tkrat 1.2 or 1.05?
by mperry＠basin.com 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

The tkrat which comes with SuSE 6 is busted and there is a locale fix we discussed awhile ago. When one compiles the latest tkrat it also busts on tcl/tk locale stuff. Is there a conclusion besides using the kludgy set command yet?

[SuSE Linux] Bug in SuSEconfig.java?
by to.avi＠usa.net 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

Hi, I think there is a bug in the SuSEconfig.java script run by YAST. What this script does, is replace .java_wrapper with a new version but it doesn't set the execute flag of the file. Because of that, java programs cannot be run using the java command (which is a symbolic link to .java_wrapper.

[SuSE Linux] XDSL
by fmiller＠lightlink.com 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

As some of you know, a few weeks ago, we had a Dell Poweredge 2300 arrive as our new mail server and firewall to our LAN, which includes an RS6000 F40. SuSE 6.0 didn't arrive right away, and because 6.3 didn't support the embedded SCSI controller and video, I played around with RH 5.1 and plugged in the drivers for video and SCSI. Performance was VERY good, but it's just not as polished as SuSE. I formatted the drives when 6.0 arrived, my copy that is....the order for Cornell has NOT arrived yet, and I went to work on the server. The Dell, although not my choice for hardware, has taken to SuSE quite well....VERY, VERY solid! There's 2 Intel nics. in it...one to our LAN, and the other to the new XDSL line. Firewalling and all are now done, and today I started pointing user's Netscape (4.5 for 'DOZE) to the new server. Our users have never been so impressed as many web pages pop up almost immediately!! Now, I'll change over e-mail from the "old" NT server to the Linux server. Any of you who may be considering XDSL, SHOULD do it!! It's MUCH faster than cable yet a LOT cheaper. Our monthly costs are: $250 to our ISP, and $40 per month to Bell Atlantic...that's it! Atlantic Bell charged $495 to install the XDSL line. Best, Fred ----/ / _ Fred A.

[SuSE Linux] Module char-major-4

Hello all, I am running SuSE 6.0 and kernel 2.2.1. When I start the machine, while it's running the serial configuration it reports "modprobe: module char-major-4 not found" interspersed with the normal setup lines for ttyS{0,1,3} (which I have installed). When the machine shuts down, wall reports an input/output error with ttyp1. (Others if there are other ttyps open). XTerms work ok.
