[SLE] SuSE 6.4 wvdial problem reports (With solutions!)
by paulsen＠texas.net 28 May '00

1. Note that /etc/wvdial.conf has a line "Idle Seconds = 180". "Idle Seconds" should simply be "Idle". YaST (actually wvdialconf?) needs to be changed to set this properly. 2. The "debug" option was left on in /etc/ppp/options -- this causes /var/log/messages to get swamped with two messages every 30 seconds. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Robert Paulsen -- 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] wvdial

Greets, Running SuSE 6.3 and having some issues with wvdial. I have users setup through Yast and they are enabled to use the modem. I can use wvdial with a user.. sign off come back later and try wvdial and get a permission error. Then have to login as root type chmod a+rwx /dev/ttyS1 then the user can use wvdial again.. this happens about 60% of the time. It seems to be almost random.. it is not always that when I reboot I need to change the mode.. and it is not always that after one successful use I have to change the mode. Basically to start if anyone has heard of this issue.. would like some help.. if not - which config file would change the permission attributes of the /dev/tty* files?

[SLE] Will IDE and SCSI work together with SuSE?
by kline＠tao.thought.org 28 May '00

28 May '00

An Adaptec 29160 that I bought for one of my (older) FreeBSD platforms didn't fit. It probably will fit into the new PC that I'm installing SuSE on. This new system is fairly limited for my needs and I'd like to add some SCSI devices. So the nutshell of my question: Does Linux (or SuSE's implementation) work with both the IDE and SCSI interface? thanks for any help! gary kline -- Gary D.

I'm a little confused here so help me out - you did change those three partitions on your primary to ext2 but then you changed them back to vfat? -- Yatsen Ng yatsenng(a)casema.net It said "Needs Windows 98 or better."

Hello all, I was wondering what is the best way of detecting and disabeling someone who is scanning you? I have a port scanner to see who it is but I need to get rid of them. Is there a program specific to Suse 6.4 that will help me out here? I've had a couple of DoSs from two IP addresses simultaneously. Any help would be appreciated.

My browser (IE5) on my client (Win2000) dies before my router (SuSE 6.4+wvdial.dod+modem) connects to the site. Can I either give IE a longer timeout or give linux a longer time out?
