[SuSE Linux] HOW-TO (Humor)
by LinuxAdvocate＠iname.com 08 Jul '99

08 Jul '99

At the risk of irritating those of you sans humor: > Where can I find the seat-HOWTO.html can't find it anywhere and need to go > somewhere. Well, you can try the ADP (Airlines Documentation Project), but that HOWTO is out of date and only covers SeatFSv2; SeatFSv3 isn't really documented anywhere yet, as it was only released with the 0.9.4 version of air-tools. The "seat" man page is pretty good, but the "Flotation_Devices_FAQ" has a surprising amount of decent information. One HOWTO you should definitely look into is the PIS-HOWTO (PIS; Plane Information Services); it allows you to have the same seat on every plane, and when used with SeatFS, you can even have the seat preadjusted for you, and you always get the same spot in the plane. I've had problems getting PIS to work with Shadow Seating, but others tell me they've had no problems at all. Maybe it's an SME (Symmetric Multi Engine) problem. Oh yeah, try Sambair; it let's you use your Linux or UNIX seats on a Windows or NT plane, and when they crash, you don't die. Plus, oddly enough, you always get where you're going faster. -- George Toft http://gtoft.dynip.com/LinuxAdvocate/ -- 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 http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html

What this tells you is that your machine is not secure. You have too many services enabled in inetd.conf. For an Internet connected machine, you really should have NOTHING enabled. Seriously consider every service you have enabled in /etc/inetd.conf, as each one is a potential hole for a cracker to get in through. If you don't need FTP, get rid of it.

[SuSE Linux] printing problems
by waultman＠flash.net 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

Hi all, I'm having trouble printing to my Epson Stylus 400. Every application (Applix programs and Netscape) I've tried to print from prints with a vertical offset of about an inch - the top starts at one inch + margin and the bottom ends about an inch past the end (i.e. it prints on the next page). I'm running SuSE 5.3 with Ghostscript 4.03 (not sure what version of apsfilter). Technical support at SuSE was no help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see how. If it does, great! Tell me more, but I think that the lack of security in the Win9x environment prevents this requirement. Marty hit on a very important point. With NWClient32, the default Windows username/password box is replaced with a customized one (Novell logo, tabbed interface for binding vs. context, etc) that a regular user can't get around. I know that there are products like FoolProof32 that would keep a user from storing *anything* on a local hard drive (we've used it in the same NetWare 4.11 environment), requiring network shares or floppies for storage. I wouldn't be above using FP32 for local security, but that would add to the expense of the installation. I'd rather the user just not be able to circumvent the initial login screen. -=|JP|=- (Resident GNUbie) Jon Pennington | SuSE Linux 6.0 jon_pennington(a)excite.com | Kernel 2.2.10 Kansas City, Missouri, USA | K6-2 350 _______________________________________________________ Get your free, private email at <A HREF="http://mail.excite.com/"><A HREF="http://mail.excite.com/</A">http://mail.excite.com/</A</A>> -- 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>>

If you do mrproper before running xconfig or whatever, you will revert to a default kernel configuration and won't get to see what is in your present kernel. Doh! Sorry. I kind of skated around that issue altogether...is the .config file from the lx_suse.rpm the actual .config that SuSE used for our stock (eide_01) kernel, though?

Re: [SuSE Linux] SIS 6236 AGP help
by imm＠KidsCare.Net 01 Jul '99

I had this card and got it to work try using sax to configure "sax -s svga" my vga was installed but broken oh well. Use the svga server. I think it's in video card expert options or something like that click on : no accel , no bitblt , and maybe sw cursor. Also set the memory to 4mb according to the guys at accelX 4mb is for 2d and 4mb is for 3d and since there isn't 3d linux support for this card don't bother. If I remember right I got mine up to 24bp 1024 by 768. If you actually use <gag>windows</gag> and get this card to play directx games properly let me know how you did it???? I replaced my SiS 6326 alleged AGP with a PCI TNT Rivia 16mb and it's great in linux and <gag>win</gag>. That will be the last SIS product I ever buy....... Good Luck hope this helps.
