You are probably trying to link connect to shares on NT and shares on Linux? One thing you need to get sorted is Samba - so your NT machine can see folders that you specify in Linux. A very useful one is your home area (your NT/Linux Username). Then I suppose you want to set up a proxy of some sort - either on NT or Linux. If on linux - then included with SuSE 6.2 is squid - use it. And, you may want to send/recieve email from Linux to NT and/or vice versa? Sendmail is included and needs setting up. And finally, my favourite bit of Kit is Apache - the web server. You can get plenty of admin tools for Linux that runs using apache. I strongly recommend webmin at www.webmin.com/webmin/ Have a play and I forgot about this - first and foremost - have you set up your network card... and set it to be visible on the same network as your NT machine? If setting up Samba, then set your WORKGROUP to be the same as your NT Domain and USE ENCRYPTED PASSWORDS. It is a painless process of getting your Linux machine talking to NT.

We will be happy to help but first we will need a little more information. Is your server on a LAN or are you wanting to connect to a dialup ISP?

This would be a perfect addition to YaST (then again, YaST has too many features that we don't know how to use already ;). There are products like SWAT and WebMin that will already do this, so why not add it to YaST? -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions jpennington(a)atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 x121 -- 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/

RE: [SLE] Procmail - Fixed!

Flippin' Heck! I've solved my own problem. These mailing lists work.... If you look below at the long message - sorry -all from me- I couldn't read my email. Anyway, I re-ran $ SuSEconfig and everything sorted itself out. Its things like that which makes SuSE a lovely piece of kit. Kev ======================================== This is certainly a permissions problem. Can someone tell me the permissions of: /var/spool/ and everything underneath this. ** DON'T BE STUPID AND MOVE YOUR HOME DIRECTORY AND VAR AND THEN SYMLINK THEM! ** To recap: 1. I INSTALLED A NEW IDE HARD DRIVE 2. I MOVED VAR AND HOME TO THE MOUNT POINT OF THIS (/usr3) 3. I SYMLINKED TO THE RELEVANT DIRECTORIES 4. DOING THIS HAS LOST ALL PERMISSIONS (root.root) 5. WHEN I RUN ELM I GET 7 RETRY MESSAGES ON READING MAIL (WAITING FOR DELIVERY) I CAN READ ROOTS EMAIL UNDER ELM - very understandable. I CAN'T ON ANY OTHER USER I even created a user, and tried to look at the settings but the same problem occured. I only have 1 Linux machine at my disposal here in work - and I never thought of checking at home. Please can someone help?

The console log tells me: procmail[416]: Renamed bogus "/var/spool/mail/jackk" into "/var/spool/mail/BOGUS.jackk.ZC" For some strange reason I reckon it has something to do with my yearn for extra disk space! :o) Can anyone shed any light!

Sorry - I wasn't making myself clear - I wanted to say: I like using apache - the web server And I like administering my linux machine using a web interface like webmin. On a similar note, I also like Netsaint - the network status monitor that runs on a web server.

Webmin is its own special-purpose, special-port web server, and is quite nice on a machine that lacks keyboard, monitor, and apache. -- 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/ -- 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] ttyS3 and irq 12
by damianks＠netnet.net 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Is there any way that I can make linux look at irq 12 for my ttyS3? At present I only have ttyS0 and ttyS3 enabled at irq 4 and 3 respectively. S0 is my mouse and S3 is my internal modem, I would like to enable S1 and make that irq 3 (which is generally default for that anyway) and to make S3 be irq 12 as it is the only one I have available. The modem even has that as an option for the jumpers. The problem is, I went and enabled S1 in the bios and changed the jumper on my modem to set it to irq 12. Now when I boot up it says that both S1 and S3 are at irq 3. One thing I did notice in the bios is that there is a section where you can set your irq's, ie, PCI, PnP, and what not, but 12 is not in that list. In windows and linux it is shown as being available. ( I don't really even know why I still have windows on this machine any more ) Is there any way that I can make it mork?
