[SLE] Y2K bug in leafnode 1.9.1, fixed in 1.9.5
by jkirving＠mosquitonet.com 02 Jan '00

02 Jan '00

I haven't found any reference to this in searching on SuSE's site or the suse-e mailing list archives. I'm running SuSE 6.1, and using leafnode v1.9.1 from the distribution cds. (Leafnode is a nntp (usenet) server intended for small sites, where inn would be used for larger sites.) Today (1 Jan), on running the rtin news client, the entire list of available groups were read in as new groups. The -q option (to rtin) disables this client from requesting new groups, but does not address the problem. I traced the problem to code in leafnode's nntpd.c source, in function donewgroups(), then found that the problem had been fixed (and identified as a Y2K fix) in leafnode 1.9.5. A patch for this can be found on the leafnode mailing list, http://www.fredi.de/maillist/msg00771.html. -- Ken Irving Trident Software jkirving(a)mosquitonet.com -- 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] Various questions from a COMPLETE newbie.
by j.bloggs＠angelfire.com 02 Jan '00

02 Jan '00

I would like to excuse myself in advance if any of these questions have been already answered previously, but as i mentioned, i am new to linux. Recently i bought SuSE 6.3 and installed with much effort (unfortunately i have an Ati Rage Fury which didn't seem to be detected). Anyway, KDE works fine now and so does LiLo. I noticed in LiLo there are already 2 booting options: -linux and suse which both load different kernels. Are these kernels in any way different? Should i just keep one of the booting options and get rid of the other one? How can i read files off my windows partition (hda), i have tried mounting it and it seems to work correctly but when i look into the directory where i mounted it, there is nothing. This has happened to me already. When installing manually the x server for my Ati Rage i copied it onto a windows formatted diskette (under windows), then rebooted into linux, mounted the drive, but when i looked into the directory there was nothing. Nevertheless i executed the rpm commands to install the package and it worked.??!! Thank you very much for your help.

[SLE] What's happening?
by keithp＠psilink.co.uk 02 Jan '00

02 Jan '00

Hello all. I've had an automatic message from the ezmlm program which manages the list, saying that messages to me are bouncing and if the probe to me bounces, I'll be removed from the mailing list. As I get over 100 messages a day from the list, I cannot see how they can be bouncing. There's no query address to write to, in order to find out what this is all about. Any ideas, please, what to do, before I'm removed from the list? I'd much rather stay on it!

[SLE] SuSEFax support? Not!
by genz1968＠mtu-net.ru 02 Jan '00

02 Jan '00

Hello, there is no information whatsoever on fixes for SuSEFax. I use SuSE 6.2, and I know for a fact that there is a bug making it impossible to click on the Close, Send Fax, and Cancel buttons when viewing in 600x800 mode. The buttons end up off the viewing area, and tabbing to them doesn't work. I use 1024x768, which takes care of that problem. But now in Phone Book of SuSE Fax, the two buttons Serial Fax and Send Fax are gone and half of the Sort button is gone. I can't find anyone on the SuSE thead or Deja who has encountered this latter problem. Am I the one unlucky shmuck to encounter this problem, or does SuSE just ignore SuSEFax users? Since the first bug, which is well know, has no patch on the SuSE site, I'm suspicious that I have encountered another bug, which is just being ignored as well. And I live in Russia, so I can't trot down to Micro center and update to 6.3 .

[SLE] understanding SuSE's firewall script
by Anonymous User 02 Jan '00

02 Jan '00

Folks, I am trying to figure out the filewall script that SuSE provides to get the firewall going. There is one line: if test -f /proc/net/ip_fwchains -a `cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward` -eq 1 ; then ... fi Can someone enlighten me as to what is going on here. I know that they are testing for equality to 1, but /proc/net/ip_fwchains is not a script or a program, what is the part: /proc/net/ip_fwchains -a `cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward` For that matter what is the /proc/net/ip_fwchains and what is the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward?

[SLE] cd #4

Hello, all; Last week I finally received SuSE 6.3 from CheapBytes, when I try to install it hangs on cd #4, using either yast1 or 2. Has anyone else experienced this? (6.2 installs fine...)

[SLE] UPSdaemon
by tb64710＠ltec.net 02 Jan '00

02 Jan '00

Hello, this is probably a dumb question, but how can I stop the UPS daemon? It keeps kppp from hanging up. I'm now having to run wvdail and it knocks it out so I can use kppp. I'm sure there's a bigger picture here, but I'm clueless. I'm using SuSE 6.3 full install w/ Yast2.
