[SLE] Turning of Ping..
by darryl.b.white＠saic.com 25 Mar '00

Hello List... Is there a way that I can keep people from pinging my box. I looked in the inetd.conf file and saw echo commented out. But my box is still replying to icmp requests. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I agree with this. I downloaded the rpm of GNUcash and it belched all over itself. I have everything it required and it kept bitching that I didn't. This software has always had a kludge install and configuration. If you would..how about writing a howto in order to get it working. I know I have seen a lot of people on this list who can't seem to get it to work. > > I downloaded the rpm version and ran Kpackage on it. > > I didn't install it because Kpackage said there were missing > > dependencies, and I didn't want to go running off looking > > for secondary packages requiring specific version > > numbers,etc...

[SLE] reiserfs - very cool
by avi＠CFFtechnologies.com 25 Mar '00

25 Mar '00

Yesterday I decided to make the move to reiserfs. I downloaded the patches, burned the CD and converted my 17 GB (except for the small /boot partition) drive to reiserfs. As a test, I wrote some stuff to the hard drive and then pressed the power button to turn the machine off without a proper shutdown. It took reiserfs exactly 10 seconds to re-apply the journal records and I was back in business. Very cool. With ext2 it would have taken about 20 minutes to check and fix the partition. Great job SuSE.

[SLE] C Programming: Newbee questions
by pierpaolodf＠libero.it 25 Mar '00

25 Mar '00

I'm using Linux to write some C programs. I have some question (maybe they're stupid but I'm just new with it). 1) I have an Italian Keyboard. Is there some way under X to get ASCII keys not present on my keyboard (e.g. {}). At the moment I'm switching to US keyboard, everytime I need someone then back to Italian one. 2) I get an unresolved symbol error when trying to compile C sources, containing math function (sin, cos, etc.), even though I use #include <math.h> in the source. For compiling I use gcc -x c Where am I mistaking?

[SLE] Mail Config Problem
by gdoris＠home.com 25 Mar '00

25 Mar '00

I have a smaill home network with a false domain name "dorfam.net". I have set up a DNS server, a pop3 server, and configured sendmail to do all the good stuff to make this work. I can send/receive mail from any of the internal users if sent as "gerry(a)dorfam.net". However, if I try and send a message to "gerry(a)panther.dorfam.net" where "panther.dorfam.net" is the name of one of my hosts, then sendmail will happily forward my message to my isp for delivery. It sees this address as an external host. If I do an nslookup on "panther.dorfam.net" I get the proper internal ip address. How can I get sendmail to understand that these addresses are really internal????
