[SLE] Graphical RAID
by rafa＠mundolinux.es 17 Mar '00

17 Mar '00

Hi :) Well, I had to install RH 6.1 yesterday on a Compaq Proliant with 4 x 18.2 GB UW SCSI disks, 2 x Xeon and 1GB RAM (one hell of a machine). Had to setup RAID 5 and SAMBA, til here everybody might think is normal. Well, what astonished me is that in RH's 6.1 graphical installation you can automatically partition a disk and setup RAID (via software). This REALLY eases things up: you don't have to fuss around editing files and swearing in every language you know. The thing is: can SuSE do this? I'm not going to change over to RH, obviously. Just wondered if SuSE had this ease or, if it doesn't, if it's thinking of something like that for a near future. Thanks all :) Rafa -- 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] SAMBA and SWAT
by stuart＠yorkshirepudding.com 17 Mar '00

17 Mar '00

Hello, everyone. I have been following the recent thread concerning a few peoples SAMBA/SWAT woes. I believe I have followed all the good advice so far, but all to no avail. So I am looking for further suggestions. My problem is that when I try to connect to SWAT using localhost:901, servername:901, 127.0.0.1:901, root:password@servername:901 etc I get an error as follows: Netscape 4.7 - URL http://127.0.0.1:901 Error - Netscape's network connection was refused by the server 127.0.0.1. The server may not be accepting connections or may be busy. Try connecting again later. URL http://servername:901 Error - Netscape redirects to Google URL http://localhost:901 Error - Netscape redirects to Google KFM - URL http://127.0.0.1:901 Error - Could not connect to http://127.0.0.1:901 URL http://servername:901 Error - Could not connect to http://servername:901 URL http://localhost:901 Error - Could not connect to http://localhost:901 IE5 on NTW4 (Puts on fireproof undies...) URL http://127.0.0.1:901 Error - N/A URL http://servername:901 Error - The page cannot be displayed URL http://localhost:901 Error - N/A Sorry if this is getting long, I am trying to be thorough. Here is the setup: SuSE6.3 Stock SMP Kernel (I'm not yet brave enough to roll my own) SAMBA 2.0.6-16 (just updated tonight from 2.0.6-7, but the problem existed before, too) Static IP Address in the 192.168.x.y range What I've tried so far: SETDUMMYDEV=no in rc.config (tried it with and without quotes) Did the whole smbpasswd -a root Tried to put the root:password@localhost:901 into the URL Checked /etc/services, that's right Checked /etc/inetd.conf, that's right The workgroup name shows up from Network Neighbourhood in NT, so SAMBA itself appears to be working Stopped and started smb and inetd services to effect changes Rebooted machine to effect changes The freaky thing is that I set SWAT up on two other machines today, and they worked right off the bat, so I know this is supposed to work. The only difference I've found is that the two that work are on SAMBA 2.0.5. Having been testing it out all day, I know that if it is working, I should be presented with a login prompt. This does not come up. When I am trying it locally on the SuSE box, I am logged in as root to make sure I have all the rights to everything. If necessary, I can downgrade to Samba 2.0.5, but it strikes me that this should work. Hope you can help.

[SLE] ttyS0 vs cua0
by Admin＠Brevsville.com.au 17 Mar '00

17 Mar '00

Can anyone shed some light on this topic for me please. I have a TCL multiport cards installed on my SuSE 6.3 box. it creates devices ttyT0 for terminals connected to it's first port and cut0 for character devices. I'm setting up my system as a dialup server and I've got serial ports 1 and 2 (ttyS0 and ttyS1) answering and autmatically starting pppd. Every thing on these ports operates perfectly. When using the multiport card, if I use ttyT0 (port 1 on the card) it answers the call and pppd starts correctly. It won't however receive data, hence it can't authenticate the user. The card manufacturer tells me I should use the /dev/cut0 (also port 1 on the card). If I use this for dialin using mgetty in inittab, the modem answers and I can manually login and manually start pppd and from then on all is well. The problem is that it will not automatically start pppd. So I have 3 questions. 1) Where do I tell pppd to listen to my /dev/cut0 port and start itself when the modem gets a carrier? It can't be /etc/ppp/options.cut0 since this is a direct copy of my /etc/ppp/options.ttyT0 which works fine when I mgetty that port. 2) Since using /dev/ttyT0 has a handshaking problem, how do I check the settings and change them? (the docs tell me that the cua devices are deprecated so this may be the preferred option) 3) Specifically what is the differnce between /dev/ttysX and /dev/cuaX?

I just purchased 6.3 today, I was using Caldera 2.3, but decided to make a switch. In the process of upgrading my system to put another HD in and a new motherboard and CPU. I know I will have q's to ask about various Linux probs. I learn by trial by fire, manuals are a pain in the arse! Look forward to the list.
