Message-ID: <000f01c05dcd$a5a1d820$642a5dd5(a)chello.nl> From: "Eelco of Viola" <e.thave(a)chello.nl> Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 09:38:58 +0100 Subject: firewalling Hello suse users, I have come across a website that generates firewall scripts. Being the Newbee that I am this seems a good option until I understand ipchains a bit more etc etc. So now I have a script called rc.firewall in /etc/rc.d . Question is how and when to run it at startup. The install manual from the website uses RH as an example and some things are different in directory structure. Suggestions?? Greets Eelco

So, I decided to go back to my version of Xfree 3.3.6. Now the problem is that I don't know where to get it. There are some precompiled servers on the suse ftp site but I don't know which one to get. On the other hand I don't know if I have to delete the Xfree 4.0.1 before or just download ver 3.3.6 and install it. I know that Xfree is the suse web site, but again, which rpms for ver 3.3.6 I have to get??. Thanks for any help you can give me -wuilbert

I haven't tried to configure it otherwise, because I don't need to. I try to delete the mail as soon as it comes :-) What I have instead are save-hooks in Mutt. I know the whole thing can be done with procmail doing local delivery, but since I didn't try, I can't give you pointers there. Hopefully there is still some information that will apply to your situation. BTW, obviously, with my set-up it shouldn't matter whether you have a domain name or not, it just happens that I do. You can name your machine whatever you like. Best, Corvin -- Corvin Russell <corvinr(a)sympatico.ca>

I bought a new batch of hardware. ASUS A7V AMD Athlon 900Mhz processor 2 128M PC133 mem chips SB Live PCI IBM 45gig HD ATI Rage XPERT 2000 AGP 32meg video 3COM 3c905B-TX PCI nic The motherboard needed to have IRQ's assigned on the given slots for the NIC and the SB to work (I used 10 & 5 respectively). This means turning off Plug & Play as well. Then I went in under a DOS boot-up via a floppy, and ran the 3COM setup application for the NIC. I set it up with IRQ I had set in the BIOS for that slot. Then I loaded up 7.0 Professional and YaST2 picked up everything fine. YaST configured my system so all boots up without a hitch. I edited /etc/rc.d/boot.local and added /usr/local/sbin/sshd to get ssh started up automatically. Then changed .xinitrc to add xscreensaver. Very nice workstation as I have a AHA2940UW and a 40X SCSI-3 UW Plextor CD-ROM in it and I hope to get a nice Plextor SCSI CD-R as well. Then add a cheap ATAPI DVD for SuSE installs, (and a few videos :) Best Regards /Dee -----Original Message----- From: Michael Long [mailto:michael.long@erols.com] Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 11:12 AM To: Jyry Kuukkanen Cc: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] 3com 3c509b NIC - Chap 2 Thanks to everyone who responded to my plea for help. My problem turned out to be caused by a conflict in my shared ISA/PCI slot. After installing a Realtek 8139 pci card it was immediatly recognized. Now on to configuration issues. Does anyone know why it is would be necessary to run YAST2 to configure a network card after every reboot? It was my understanding that YAST2 would write the settings to the startup scripts so that the network would start everytime.
