[SLE] Suse 6.3 firewalling and Samba
by edg＠tri-angle.demon.nl 26 Mar '00

26 Mar '00

Hi, I have an curious problem with my suse 6.3 system situation: one isdn line ippp0 and an ethernet connection eth0 Running Samba, Firewall 2.1, named (cache only), sendmail Local loopback dev switched off Using win98 client to browse the network When i browse the network i can't find my samba server, i do find the samba workgroup. When i try to browse the workgroup i am not able to connect to the shares. When i search for the server i can'd find it. I think the firewall is filtering more info than i would like to have. The broadcasts made by samba are filtered out? Even when i try to resolve the netbios name on the linux server i can't find it. I have reinstalled the whole samba suite whitout luck. I think i have an netbios problem. Strange enough when i switch off the firewall (firewall stop) the problem still exists, but it could be the rules stay active ?.... Does someone have similar problems and or ideas how to solve this?? In the beginning when i was not experimenting with the firewall there was an connection with the samba server.... The problem is during the last week more changes have been made hard to find out what is causing the problem.

[SLE] Installing a second kernel from the 6.3 CD?
by mapler＠erinet.com 26 Mar '00

26 Mar '00

Hello, I would like to install a second kernel from the Suse 6.3 cd. I know how to configure LILO to allow me to boot either kernel, but I am not sure how to get the second kernel off the cd. I found the kernel rpm's in the images directory, but unfortunately, I am an rpm know-nothing. (I installed the pentium optimized kernel, and the system is locking up on me when I run ld. I want to try the standard kernel and do some performance/stability comparisons.) thanks, Ray <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I would like to install a second kernel from the Suse 6.3 cd.

Re: [SLE] Netscape won't connect to secure site.
by tjhanson＠home.com 26 Mar '00

As it turned out, that wasn't the end of it. This morning it happened again. I finally had to go to the Netscape site and, with a Windows computer mind you since Netscape's site is also secure, download a fresh Netscape 4.72, this time with 128 bit encryption. So things are working again, but I don't know for how long. tabanna wrote: > > ~ i have also noticed that using ones ISP Proxy Server can also cause > problems with secure sites, which cured by turning off Proxy & selecting > 'connect direct with internet' > > best :) > > ____________ > sent on Linux -- 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] SuSE FTP Mirrors, dates, and times.
by agtiger＠coolnet.net 26 Mar '00

26 Mar '00

Well, I've got an interesting problem involving ftp mirroring and timestamps on files apparently being altered by timezones. I'm creating an NFS share on my fileserver that has the contents of all 6 SuSE Linux 6.3 cd's, recursively copied preserving dates and times. I've also got a perl script that will connect to a couple of SuSE Linux FTP mirrors, and if the either the file size or timestamp differs, the file is flagged for download/update into the local NFS share. It's been working wonderfully, except that I noticed that a *LOT* of files were flagged for download... I got suspicious when I saw the dosutils/exceed directory downloading *every* file. Surely these couldn't have been updated, could they? So... I checked them out more closely. As an example, here's a file from the CD (US distribution): SETUP.EXE 51,200 bytes 10/29/1999 07:48 And on ftp://ftp.twoguys.org/SuSE/current/dosutils/exceed SETUP.EXE 51,200 bytes 10/29/1999 16:48 And on ftp://212.122.128.32/pub/SuSE-Linux/6.3/i386.de/dosutils/exceed SETUP.EXE 51,200 bytes 10/29/1999 10:48 Notice the problem? Look at those times... The files are actually identical, byte for byte. I've got a time zone problem it seems. So... is there anything I can do to dynamically adjust the dates and times of files I'm looking at when I'm connected via FTP? Is there some global environment setting, or some FTP instruction that will adjust times by plus/minus a few hours?

Hi! I have a problem with sendmail. I am subscribed to several mailing lists, and some of the people there include their local domain names and other just have temporary name resolving problems. Currently I have a problem, couse I cannot access samba.org domain, so I cannot recieve any mail from their mailinglist. Is it possible, to tell sendmail not to check the domain names existance? If it si possible, hoe can it be done? I couldn't find anything in the manpage. THX in advance!

Hi! I am trying to build an rpm package. The problem is, that I do not want the newer version to completely overwrite the previous config files. What do I have to include into the spec file and wherež to save the old files as old.file.rpmsave or old.file.rpmorig ? THX in advance!

[SLE] updating a thinkpad
by budr＠sirinet.net 26 Mar '00

26 Mar '00

OK, I have SuSE 6.3 working on my Thinkpad 240. Installation was not entirely painless, but it went fairly well. Networking is not perfect yet, but better than when I started. If I ping another host it pauses for a few seconds before it starts then pings normally, almost like something has to time out first. I'm still fiddling with the pcmcia setup. The next thing I would like to do is a system update from the SuSE ftp site to pick up the latest bug fixes and security updates. Of course you can't update the base system while running the base system -- you have to boot their install floppy for that. I was not able to get networking up with the install floppy, so I can't get on the LAN with it. I have networking in fairly decent shape now, but I can't update the system while it's running. Catch 22... I need to figure out how to tweak the pcmcia/network settings while booting the install floppy, or I need to figure out how to build an install floppy using my kernel and settings. I would welcome any suggestions. -- Bud Rogers <budr(a)sirinet.net> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html Though all my neighbors are barbarians, and you are a thousand miles away, there are always two cups on my table. -- 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/
