[SLE] hang during install
by cliff＠delaware.net 04 Jan '00

04 Jan '00

Hello, all; I'm trying to install SuSE 6.3 on my box at work, 2 scsi hard drives and a scsi cdrom, micron pii-300, 64 meg ram, win98 on first scsi drive, want to install suse 6.3 on second scsi drive. During boot it hangs while probing irqs for ide3 (only ide devices I'm aware of are the floppy and a zip drive). I've tried unplugging both floppy and zip drive, booting from cd1 and 2 and using boot floppy. Any suggestions?

[SLE] Running Winblows VNC server?
by alex＠daniloff.com 04 Jan '00

04 Jan '00

Hello Linux folks! Is somebody of you actually using VNC with Linux and Winblows NT? Could you please share your experience. I have to use some Winblows M$ office applications for my job. I don't want to create win32 partition on my Linux box HD and use emulator like vine and so on. I want to setup Winblows based M$ office application server for my Linux box using VNC protocol. After I visited VNC web site http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html I assumed that in general I can run Winblows applications with installed VNC viewer on Linux box and with installed VNC server on Winblows box. My questions are: 1. Will Winblows M$ Office97 run noticeably slower on Linux box over my 100Mb network connection? 2. Will I be able to run graphic intensive applications on Linux box from Winblows VNC server? For example games, pictures, java applets and so on. If not, may be you can tell me a better solution? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

[SLE] Sharing a ZIP drive?
by suselist＠ASR-Technology.ltd.uk 04 Jan '00

04 Jan '00

Happy New Year everyone... Ive got my ZIP drive (SCSI) connected up and working as VFAT just fine. I would like to samba share this drive so that I can write to it from other machines on the network of many different OS flavours. The problem is that the filesystem (?!?) is mounted as root (well, thats how I see it =O) so that whilst I can read files on say a Win98 machine, I cant delete them, or write to the drive. Ive tried playing with the samba side of things to enable it, but this hasn't worked, so I guess its got something to do with mounting the drive in the first place. Could someone please tell me how to correct this so that all users, or a selected few (by either name or group) have full access to the drive?

RE: [SLE] Reject vs. deny was [SLE] Ipchains/Firewall
by tduggan＠dekaresearch.com 04 Jan '00

I understand it this way. A spoofed IP (say 1.1.1.1) sends a SYN request to a port on your machine. Your machine responds to the real 1.1.1.1 sending a reject message (the real 1.1.1.1 has no clue why you send it a reject but it doesn't care either). While this is going on the fake 1.1.1.1 can be flooding you with SYN requests which your machine will process and reply with a reject potentially until all your bandwidth or processor cycles are used up. Whereas deny will dump the packet and forget about it, reducing the amount of used bandwidth/processor cycles. I mostly use REJECT inside and DENY outside for this reason on my home lan, even though I know it is unlikely to be attacked in such a way with a temporary connection. Overly paranoid? Maybe, but I'll be ready when cable comes to my neck of the woods (I really mean woods) in another month or so. :-) Tim > -----Original Message----- > From: François Pinard [SMTP:pinard@iro.umontreal.ca] > Sent: Monday, January 03, 2000 6:55 PM > > Tim Duggan <tduggan(a)dekaresearch.com> writes: > > > [...] rejecting connections opens the machine to DoS attacks > (particularly > > one spoofing their IP) [...] > > How? :-) I'm perceiving anti-spoofing as rather orthogonal to REJECTs. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] How to access servers database?
by genz1968＠mtu-net.ru 04 Jan '00

04 Jan '00

Hello, How can I access a database on the internet? At the URL given below, there is a list of firms with offices in Russia, to whom, each and every one I want to bless with my resume. Copying the index.html file does no good. Is there anyway to access the database and grab the data files, or is this not allowed. http://web3.departments.bucknell.edu/scripts/russian/usfirms/ Now I can simply select all and copy everything. Which brings up another question, has anyone written a script to snag every telephone number folling the word "Fax:"? What would be a good way to do this?

Windoze 95 or NT will work. NT does take more resources. 95B is fairly stable if there is just a cetain config used. Meaning not a lot of changes, adding DLLs all the time etc. Be sure to remove unecessary items in the Startup ini. If i remember there is a document on support.microsoft on how to diable a lot of things like clock and such that will free some resources. <<< Jim Osborn <jimo(a)eskimo.com> 1/ 3 7:07p >>> I need to run a single 16-bit Windows app, and would like to run Samba on that machine so that it can join my Linux network. The app has been happily running under Win3.10 for years, but I understand from reading my SuSE 6.3 manual that I'll need a fancier version of Windows to run Samba. I'd like to solicit opinions on the tradeoffs for choosing which MS os to use in this situation. The box is an old 486 with 32Meg of ram, (and my wife won't let me replace it with the low-end machine I'd like to get from VA :) So I'd think W98 would be more efficient than NT in this old box with its tiny RAM, but I don't know. NT of course should crash less, but since I'm running just a single application, I'd expect crashing wouldn't be a big problem. It is very rare with W3.10. Is this theory reasonable? That box has my backup tape drive, which I use when I boot it to Linux on weekends. I've been easily backing up the DOS partition that way; will I have trouble backing up an NT partition? Since the app is 16-bit, is there a preferred filesystem type to use? Does Samba care? Sorry to be asking all these MS-type questions, but my motivation is smooth integration of this machine into a Linux network, and hopefully there's some good expertise on this list of folks that have had to do something like this. If there's another forum I should ask this question on, please point me to it.

install vnc from the SuSE cds or visit http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ for the latest version. Run the server on a Win box, connect using the Linux client.
