[SLE] Problems with CDROM and zip drive
by rear＠sirius.com 06 May '00

06 May '00

Both of these have stopped working, When I try to mount them in kde I get the message, mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/hdc (or /dev/sda4) as a block device, (maybe 'insmod driver'?). My fstab file has not changed. Where do I begin to try to figure this out? What more info can I give you? -- Bob Rea Freedom is only privilege extended unless enjoyed by one and all --Billy Bragg rear(a)sirius.com rrea(a)askjeeves.com http://www.sirius.com/~rear -- 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] gdb problems slowing developement - possible problem with glibc ?
by CP.Hennessy＠iname.com 06 May '00

06 May '00

Hi, I am having some painful problems with gdb, and any help would be really appreciated. 1) breakpoints in shared libraries: If I set breakpoints in functions which are in shared libraries, when I restart the program gdb complains with the following message: /path/to/program/to/debug: error in loading shared libraries: libXX.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory The only option I have is to disable the breakpoints, set a breakpoint at "main" and then enable the breakpoints again :-( 2) The line numbers which are being reported by gdb do not correspond with the line numbers in the source file - even though the up-to-date file is actually loaded into the debugger, the library has been compiled with the loaded file, and the compiled library has been loaded! Possibly 1) above affected this ? And some other data: system is SuSE 6.4 which means that gdb rpm gdb-4.18-81 Problem 1) occurred many months ago and I am almost sure that it was after migrating from an older version of SuSE ( 5.3 to 6.1 ), so maybe it is because of the glibc migration ?? Problem 2) only seems to have occurred since I migrated from SuSE 6.3 to 6.4. However I did have some migration problems ( e.g. the gdb version was not updated correctly ), so could anyone suggest a possible cause of the above ?

[SLE] RE NT4 & S.u.S.E. 6.4
by brumsey＠world-net.co.nz 06 May '00

06 May '00

I have made up my mind to drop the NT4 idea. What I would like to know now is how to go about setting up squid to get the max results out of it. I will be setting up 6 win98 mc to connect to the linux box.

[SLE] Pac Bell and Westech DSL modem problem solved...
by creimer＠rahul.net 06 May '00

06 May '00

Greetings! I finally got my DSL modem to work correctly, even across the hub with PPPOE. I did following since a lot of the frustrations that I was having with the DSL modem was similar to the frustration that I had with the analog modem when using it with Linux for the first time, and the solutions between the two different modem types nearly identical. (I'm currently using SuSE 6.3.) 1. Deleted the /etc/ppp folder, and all traces of pppoe and adsl-* files. 2. Compiled and installed the latest versions of pppd. (This may not have been needed but I wanted to be sure that it was a problem.) 3. Did a forced install of rp-pppoe-1.8-1.i386.rpm. 4. Connected the Westech DSL modem directly to my network. 5. Ran 'ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up' to clear the previous settings. 6. Ran 'adsl-setup' and answered all the questions. 7. Ran 'adsl-start' and got "TIMED OUT" after 60 seconds. At this point, I kept changing the /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets files since I suspected that something wasn't quite right and making a broad assumption that everything else is correct as it should be. Contrary to what I read elsewhere, the pap-secrets file had this format: username * password You don't need have @pacbell.net at the end of the user name. Once I dropped @pacbell.net from both pppoe.conf and pap-secrets files, my DSL connection came up in one second. I put the DSL modem back on the hub and ran 'ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 up' to resume my normal ip address on that NIC. (The pppoe.conf file will use "eth0" to find the modem on the hub.) The adsl-start script had no problems with the DSL modem over the hub. Right now, my system is unreasonably unsecured since a hub is not the best place to put the DSL modem. Next week, I will be building a dedicated firewall box around a old P100 system using two NICs and Coyote Linux. Thanks for everyone's input!

[SLE] (OT): M$ response to I LOVE YOU
by dsoper＠clipper.net 06 May '00

06 May '00

Microsoft Corp., for its part, said the virus was not indicative of any particular vulnerability associated with Microsoft Outlook. Hi all, I just pulled this off of Reuters and had to share it. It's the official M$ response to the "I LOVE YOU" virus. I just about fell out of my chair when I read it. Anyway, I got 11 of the viruses on 120 clients, as well as 2 faxes of the source code (this is one the news didn't talk about-- it also called pagers). We had no infections, thanks in no small part to CERT's most excellent job of getting the word out. Also, thanks to making the decision not to support Outlook as an e-mail client. Finally, thanks to the fact that we use sendmail, not Exchange to do our e-mail. In the area I live in, most of the emergency services use Exchange and Outlook. This trojan shut down their networks... Not that I want to pat Open Source on the back-- I can't help but wonder how many people died today due to that jerk's actions. Anyway, here's what a spin-doctor at Mickey$oft has to say about it, courtesy of Reuters-- prepare to gag. Cheers, Dennis -------------BS follows----------- ``Viruses are really an industry-wide issue,'' said Scott Culp, program manager for Microsoft's security response center. ''They can be written for any platform. They can be written to use a variety of e-mail clients. ``In this case the virus author chose to target Outlook probably because it gave him better reach,'' he said. ``There isn't a security vulnerability in Outlook involved in this at all,'' Culp said. ------------end BS------------- "Custard pies are a sort of esperanto: a universal language." --Noel Godin -- 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/

by brumsey＠world-net.co.nz 06 May '00

06 May '00

I have been told by my isp that iI can't run linux on my new internet connection because their are no drivers for linux. What I want to know is , is it possible to run NT4 as the Inertnet connection and server for the other 5 computers (windoze98) and have suse 6.4 as the web server and mail server. As I am sort of new to in house networking are there any recomened books and howtos I should read.

[SLE] Salt Cluster?
by atree＠dragonrealm.net 06 May '00

06 May '00

I have about 10 old pentium 133 and 166 machines that I would love to cluster just for the fun of it. I only have 4 hard drives so I'm hoping that I can use the 10MB ethernet cards w/ boot roms to boot the rest of the machines. I have SuSE 6.3 installed and if anyone could help me get started or point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
