[SLE] XIRCOM Realport 10/100 Card?
by wfullam＠bellsouth.net 02 May '00

02 May '00

Has anyone successfully used the Xircom Realport 10/100 PCMCIA card [RBE-100 I believe] with SuSE, particularly 6.4? If you have been successful, did it require any modifications to run? I am looking for a multi-platform alternative card for my TP770X. Thank You Kindly!

[SLE] How is KFM coming along?
by genz1968＠mtu-net.ru 02 May '00

02 May '00

Hello, I use KFM sometimes. But it is really buggy. And often kills everything in sight as it crashes. I have SuSE 6.2 . I'm just wondering how it is doing in the SuSE 6.4 version. Is it much improved?

Is anyone having problems with the above. I tried turning off antispam in the fetchmail config, but it doesnt seem to make any difference Im not sure why 2 or 3 messages a day get rejected. It only happens on this list, thanks dids www.diddyland.com -- 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] Books on Linux networking ?
by sean＠kang.demon.co.uk 02 May '00

02 May '00

I am looking for a good book on Linux networking. I have a Suse 6.3 Linux server which is running an on-demand dial up net connection which can be used by my Windows client machines. Sendmail and Samba are also running OK. However, as I'm going to be getting a cable modem (with dynamic IP address) setup soon which will be running on my Linux server, I would like to really set things up perfectly. My objectives are: 1) To set up Samba properly to run as a PDC to my Windows NT and Windows 98 machines. 2) To have IP masquerading and routing working properly so that I can run games such as Halflife through my Linux server from the W98 machine, plus being able to use FTP clients and Newsreader clients from the Windows machines. Plus, proper protection from outside intrusion to my network. All the HOW-TOs etc are all very Redhat biased so I'm wondering if there are any good books which cover all of these topics in detail but with a Suse bias. Does anyone have any good suggestions ? All the books I've seen never seem to cover these topics very well if at all.

[SLE] /dev/cdrom permissions
by mircea.andrei＠wanadoo.fr 02 May '00

I installed a funny application called Win4Lin from TreLOS company (www.trelos.com) - it runs Win9x within your Linux system quite nicely. Doing this, I had a problem with the CDROM permissions. They are normally configured by SuSE as 640, while this application needs the CDROM to be accessed by a normal user (have read permission). After interacting with the Trelos support service I changed therefore to 644 (I don't understand why root should have write permission, though). Maybe it is a good idea to change the standard configuration to this value. -- 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] Where's the 2.2.14 kernel?
by fountai＠hursley.ibm.com 02 May '00

02 May '00

I spent an age yesterday on SuSE's web site trying to find the 2.2.14 kernel for SuSE-6.3. No luck. I'm sure it's there somewhere and I just missed it. Can someone give me a link? -- 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] Power Off on Shutdown

ATX motherboard + Power supply. These are Super Socket 7 computers (K6 and above)... though you may be lucky and have something as old as a P200MMX with an ATX mobo. Also, all Socket 370 boards are ATX and are Pentium II and above computers. These types were introduced in about 1997 (as in PC97 specification)so anything after that is likely to be ATX. A good indication if you have ATX is the connections are all grouped into an rectangle at the back of your PC - with serial ports, parallel ports, maybe USB, and PS/2 connections here. If you open up your computer you will see a lead from your power supply to the motherboard that has (I can't think off hand) about 2 x 10 connections on all grouped together (unlike AT where the lead is a single row of connections (10 of them).

Use squid or wwwoffle for proxy. I use squid here in work (serving 8 people - denying 150!) and it works brilliantly. I use it at home too - though I think thats just overkill for just 1 extra person. Squid is fairly straight forward to set up (using 'webmin' admin tool).

Not played with logoutd daemon - but I thought the cron job idea was good - except, make sure a warning message pops up - and not logs you out straight away - perhaps informing an adminstrator at the cafe. Its annoying when you are downloading something - or even looking at something and your computer crashes/reboots/[logs you off, in this case]... that way you get the customer to spend more money and they will like you for posting a warning instead!!
