Don't know if this is OS/2's particular tummy trouble with your disk: but if Mandrake's partitioning software has (this is the classic example) split a single partition that OS/2's fdisk already knows about into 2 partitions, then OS/2's fdisk is dead with regard to that disk. Attempting to use OS/2's fdisk produces the "partition table may be corrupt" error, and OS/2's fdisk will no longer be able to save any changes for that disk, not even partition deletions. Other, smaller changes may also set OS/2's fdisk off on a tantrum. OS/2 itself functions perfectly, but further fdisk work on the disk will need to be done with Linux until and unless (AFAIK) the entire disk is backed up, blown away with something other than OS/2's fdisk, and repartitioned afresh from OS/2. This is a known issue with OS/2's fdisk & Linux of whatever flavor, which is why after running into the problem a few times, many people with both OS's either do *all* their partitioning work only with Linux tools, or they keep OS/2 and Linux safely apart on separate disks.

Now I'd like to configure SQUID2, so before I start some questions : 1. is squid.conf, the conf file for squid2 ( or could it be squid2.conf ) 2. does squid2 and SuSEFirewall manage together ? 3. how do you fire squid2 ? in Yast1 Start_SQUID or just /sbin/squid start 4. Is the conf file ready for use with the default option for my family network? ( 1 PC server( router-webserver-firewall) + 4 PC local net ) 5. What do I have to beware of ? Forgive me those initial questions !!!! It's not lazyness but just for beeing sure. Thanks in advance for any reply, filip -- Powered by SUSE 7 vhf(a)skynet.be

KDE2 Themes

From: "Matthew R. Hamilton" <matth(a)techapp.com> Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2000 11:48:46 -0600 Message-Id: <00111711484600.22123@ghoul> Subject: KDE2 Themes Hey there has anyone here who is using KDE2 downloaded and installed any of the themes for KDE2? If so, I have a question. I followed the instructions on how to add the theme to KDE2 and selected the theme. The only thing is that the panel (aka kicker) application buttons do not seem to have changed as they appear in the theme screenshot shown on kde.themes.org. I have included a small snapshot of part of my panel (about 24k to save on bandwidth for dialup users) to show what i mean. I have also included a small section of the screenshot from kde.themes.org as well for refrence. I am wondering what I might need to do to correct this, as well as find a definitive KDE2 theme creation FAQ, that lists all of the things that go into a KDE2 theme. I have seen one FAQ but that is for KDE1.1. TIA Matthew Hamilton <hr noshade> <img src="att-0638/01-snapshot1.jpg" alt="snapshot ">

Getting rpm to know that software has been installed

Message-ID: <3A157314.8D87A00C(a)looksmart.net> Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2000 10:04:04 -0800 From: Jim Ramberg <jramberg(a)looksmart.net> Subject: Getting rpm to know that software has been installed This is something that has been bugging me for a while. If I install something ( call it package A) using a tarfile ( because there is no rpm) I often need to do a force to install programs that have package A as a dependency. The programs work well with this strategy; but it would be really alot less annoying if I could have rpm's dependency check more robust. Just a little annoyance. Thanks for the help. And thanks for the advice on kde2; kde works fine for now; I don't want to upgrade until the package is firmly established as stable. Regards jim

Routing Internet Traffic (ipchains?)
by andrew＠andrewsmith.plus.com 17 Nov '00

Message-ID: <00ab01c050b5$fa8385c0$0b0aa8c0@alpha> From: "Andrew Smith" <andrew(a)andrewsmith.plus.com> Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2000 16:46:47 -0000 Subject: Routing Internet Traffic (ipchains?) Hi My school currently has a number of Winblows NT workstations and an NT server. The server runs an authenticated proxy giving all machines access to the internet. I have been asked to set up a network of Linux machines. Below is the intended setup (albeit in a rather poor ASCII-art form!) /------------\ | THE INTERNET | \-----||-----/ || /------||------\ | APOLLO | | (NT proxy) | | | | 192.168.10.2 | \------||------/ /--------------\ | =========== 192.168.10.x | | =========== NT 4.0 | | =========== Workstations | || \--------------/ /------||------\ | 192.168.10.5 | | | | ALPHA | | Linux Server | | | | 192.168.11.10 | \---||--||--||---/ || || || /---||--||--||---\ | 192.168.11.x | | Linux | | Workstations | \----------------/ ALPHA has two network cards, one to connect to the main school network and one to connect to the smaller network of Linux machines. ALPHA has been set up with NIS and NFS to act as a file and user server for the other Linux machines. This works fine. I'm now trying to configure ALPHA to give the other Linux machines access to the internet. Am I right in thinking 'ipchains' is the thing to use? If so, can someone give me a list of the rules I require. All I want is to give the Linux workstations and ALPHA access to the internet (WWW and FTP). Mail is not required. Really what I'm after is high security and to not leave any holes open for wannabe-hackers to get in (from the main school network and from the internet). I want the Linux network to be _completely_ separate from the NT network, apart from using APOLLO for internet access. As APOLLO, the NT proxy, requires authentication, an account called 'Linux (password 'Linux) has been created on the NT network. Authentication works fine when using netscape/lynx from ALPHA, although on first use after logon, both browsers always ask for a proxy username and password. I'm planning on having the Linux workstations using ALPHA as a proxy (using squid), so that if the local cache hasn't got the page requested, ALPHA will be checked, then APOLLO, then the internet. How can I get ALPHA to be permanently authenticated with APOLLO - can I supply ALPHA with the authentication username and password, or does anyone know if MS Proxy Server can be set up to not require authentication from a certain IP address? Or is there a better method of allowing internet access to the Linux workstations. Apologies for the rather long message, and many thanks in advance for any help - it's appreciated very much! :-) Please reply directly to linux(a)andrew.dabsol.co.uk. Also, if anyone knows of any ipchains tutorials I'd be very grateful if you could send a link (I cant make head nor tail of the howtos!) :o) Andrew Smith
