[SLE] Diald

Hello I've tried to set up a firewall/IP-masquerade and Diald to work. The firewall/IP-masquerade works but diald does not. I'm running SuSE 6.4 and have installed diald from Yast. The configuration files looks like this: /etc/diald.conf mode ppp connect /usr/lib/diald/connect device /dev/ttyS1 speed 115200 modem lock crtscts local 192.168.0.10 remote 192.168.0.11 defaultroute include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter /usr/lib/diald/connect looks like this: #!/bin/sh # Copyright (c) 1996, Eric Schenk. # # This script is intended to give an example of a connection script that # uses the "message" facility of diald to communicate progress through # the dialing process to a diald monitoring program such as dctrl or diald-top. # It also reports progress to the system logs.

[SLE] SuSE and DNS....
by icarus＠guldennet.nl 04 Jun '00

04 Jun '00

Hi, I have the most ugly problems using DNS. I have three internal networks and one external (connected to Internet). I don't run named and my nameservers are those of my ISP. Whenever I connect to my box with pop3, the messages are: Unable to find canonical name of client (err=2). This is no surprise, since my internal IP's are not known to the nameservers outside. But when email is beeing sent to my box, sendmail suddenly says: 'Sender domain must resolve' and 'Sender domain must exist'. Why is this? And why did it work before? Are the nameservers of my ISP malfunctioning? I've never had this with RedHat or Debian, why SuSE? Is there something different in configurating SuSE? I hope anyone can give me some pushes in the right direction, because this is driving me crazy. Thanks.

[SLE] wvdial dial-on-demand and caching DNS
by milanuk＠yahoo.com 04 Jun '00

04 Jun '00

Hello, all. I am working on getting my gateway system switched over from freesco, to SuSE. I had initially planned on using ppp and diald, with an eye towards later using some of the filtering and rules capability of diald. In the short run, I opted to go w/ wvdial and the wvdial.dod script from SuSE's SDB. I got the system running, and forwarding my connection from my desktop box to the internet, after a little work w/ the FW-* settings in yast. I opted to setup a caching DNS server on this box, to speed up things since I have a slow analog modem dialup connection. I have been looking thru both the DNS-HOWTO, and the DNS section of 'SuSE Unleashed' from SAM's. I seem to have run into a snag, where nslookup seems to indicate that it is just using my ISP's DNS, and not mine. I scanned the list archives and found a message where someone had problems and thought that wvdial/wvdial.dod was activating some option in /etc/ppp/ip-up to get it's DNS servers from the ISP, write these to a temporary /etc/resolv.conf, and effectively bypass the system /etc/resolve.conf. I was subsequently unable to find any answers/solutions posted. Has anyone had any experience w/ this? If so, I would guess the 'solution' might be to run a 'conventional' ppp setup, and diald, sooner rather than later.

I have IMAP set up on my mail server, I can telnet in on the Local host and it seems to work fine, anytime I connect with Netscape and go to check mail it causes Netscape to shut down. How can I resolve this?

[SLE] Perl / Python
by yatsenng＠casema.net 04 Jun '00

Hi there, I need to learn a scripting language and I was just about to start with Perl. But then I read a very positive article about Python in the LinuxJournal (written by Eric Raymond). A lot of people recommend Perl, simply because the majority uses it. But is that a good enough reason? Cheers! -- Yatsen Ng yatsenng(a)casema.net It said "Needs Windows 98 or better."

[SLE] GNOME applets not appearing
by rjwohlfar＠bigfoot.com 04 Jun '00

04 Jun '00

GNOME has finally worked itself out and applets are running again. I'm posting the solution in case someone else runs into a similar problem... The GNOME packages create a symbolic link: /opt/gnome/etc --> ../../etc/opt/gnome. The link is supposed to point to the absolute path /etc/opt/gnome. This should work on most systems. But I tinkered with mine, and /opt is also a sym link to /usr/opt. So the relative path ends up being /usr/etc/opt/gnome, which doesn't exist. The applets look in /opt/gnome/etc/CORBA/servers (pointing to /usr/etc/opt/gnome/CORBA/servers) to find CORBA files. CORBA is how the applets talk to the panel or control center. Well, the directory doesn't exist, so CORBA fails. And the applet just dies. 'ln -sf /etc/opt/gnome /opt/gnome/etc' took care of the problem. Now the applets load without a hitch! -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar(a)bigfoot.com "My theory's right.

One should know C, Scheme, and Python :-). C++ and Java build on C, more or less, while most of your other LISP knowledge might be built over Scheme (even if the language genealogy, Scheme is one of the youngest.) Python makes a category in itself because of its exceptional legibility. OO programming is a style, which some languages make easier, but my feeling is that you can use OO programming in most languages. Python is OO friendly, but you are not forced to use that style. It comes naturally after a while. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- 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/
