Yes.

But you should use rsh (and keep the rsh daemon enabled) only in such situations where you are sure there is no need for encryption and/or strong authentication.

[SLE] XPDF and t1 fonts
by pat.colbeck＠esc.azlan.co.uk 28 Feb '00

Reply-To: Hi I am tryiing to use XPDF with the URW fonts as T1 fonts so that it displays pdfs that you can actually read. The use t1 fonts option does not appear to be there with the RPMS supplied with SuSE 6.3 however. I thus decided to compile my own version. Reading the docs that come with the SRPM reveals that you need first to compile and install a T1 font rasterizer, what is this beast and is it supplied in any of the RPMS. The files it provides are t1lib.h and t1libx.h Thanks Pat -- 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] A couple of strange things in 6.3
by pat.colbeck＠esc.azlan.co.uk 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

Reply-To: Hi I think I am just about getting my Suse 6.3 install going now but I have run into a couple of weird things. 1. SuSE hilfe I tried for hours to get the "Full Text Retrival" option to work but kept getting errors saying "you do nor have permision to access this page" when netscape tries to load the search.html page. Finally I managed to fix this by changing some stuff in httpd.conf (I think it was the +followsymlinks option). Is this a known bug or have I done something wrong as a Linux newbie would have real problems fixing this one. Interestingly enough "http:localhost" brings up the nice page with a dancing penguin and it claims taht the SuSE support database isnt installed. It is and I can search it ! I have however only installed the English version, does this only work out of the box if you install the German version too ? 2. Source RPMS I installed the source RPM for xpdf (see seperate mail for why), and on changing into the /usr/src/packages/SPECS directory I was surprised to so SPEC files for a whole bunch of stuff such as lprold, yast, wvdial, slrn and some otehrs. What gives xpdf was the only source I installed ?

So far, the only distro I know of that's offering a certification program is Red Hat. Does anybody know of any others? Thanks. -- ____________________ Joseph A.

Has anyone here had success with it? I did an install this weekend and noticed that the minimum default put several "duplicates" on the disk I have a few editors, news readers, mail clients..... I was thinking maybe they could add a functional list to YAST ( It currently can be sorted by package or name). I then did a Corel install and saw that they do have this feature. -- 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/

I have spent a several hours searching for information regarding this error, but can't find anything relevant to this specific problem.
