I think it's a very good that Linux also gets commercial products. The thing is that for now Linux doesn't yet have a open source firewall that compete with Firewall 1. Companies prefer to have supported products. Hopefully we will have an open source supported firewall soon. Like the falcon project. http://falcon.naw.de/ The Linux firewall 1 solution might be the cheaper 'unix like' solution. And the solution in comparison to windows NT. By the way Firewall 1 has about 70% of the firewall market. Regards, Joop. Can you please give me the link for: Bugtraq .

[SLE] Linux name question!!!
by mbuil＠infovia.com.ar 25 Jun '00

25 Jun '00

Sorry because the thing I want to ask has nothing to do with the list, but I have the doubt and is the following: Can I name a Company for example "H&M Linux Productions" using the Linux name in the name of the company? Or do I have to pay something for using the name, or ask someone? Thanks... and sorry again.

[SLE] Firewall 1 version 4.1 on Suse, IT WORKS!! :-)))
by jboonen＠worldonline.nl 25 Jun '00

25 Jun '00

Dear all, I've just install firewall 1 version 4.1 on Suse 6.4. it works perfectly. THe only thing is that you need to have kernel 2.2.12 installed. may be Check point also delivers newer modules. According their web site it would work up to and including kernel 2.2.13. By the way the rpm packages are originally made for Red Hat. But it still works perfectly on Suse. the only down side is that the is now Linux client for Firewall one. Only a windows client that is free of charge and a Motif client for Solaris that costs and US$ 2000,-. I hope that suse will work together with Checkpoint so that there also will be a officially supported client for Suse Linux. By the way, you need to install kernel 2.2.12 from ftp.xx.kernel.com because 2.2.12 of Suse (rpm package) doesn't compile on Suse 6.4 .

Re: [SLE] Quake2 on 6.4 - a solution !
by superseagulls＠netscapeonline.co.uk 25 Jun '00

25 Jun '00

I'll resend this as it looks like all mail has been lost :-( it may help others ? Pete -------------------------------------------------- Hooray - I have managed to get it working although I'm not sure that I am using the system to its best :-( Step 1) Recompiled the kernel without support for ATI Mach 64 (Console Driver) - it wasn't in 6.1 IIRC. Step 2) Ran ./quake2 +set vid_ref softx in 'X' - didn't work still.. Step 3) Ran ./quake2 +set vid_ref soft in a console - worked fine (no sound) Step 4) Ran ./quake2 +set vid_ref softx in 'X' - worked fine (no sound - couldn't switch /dev/dsp to stereo) Step 5) Ran above but added +set sndchannel 1 (to make it mono - its only a SB 64 card) - but still couldn't default to 16 bits so.. Step 6) Ran above but added +set sndbits 8 and voila ! A fully functioning Quake2 albeit in mono but I'm not worried about that I don't know why the above was necessary - but thanks to all for your suggestions.

[SLE] Anyone good with SSH?
by moseley＠hank.org 25 Jun '00

25 Jun '00

Hello, I'm trying to understand how keep SSH from asking for my password. I've been able to use the .shosts file with the known_hosts** file, but I haven't been able to use the authorized_keys method. **(I assume the way to setup the know_hosts file is to ssh from the remote machine to my machine once and accept the key.) I was unable to use the non-.shosts setup with authorized_keys file. I did the ssh-keygen1 command to create my local private and public keys. I then copied my identity.pub file to the remote machine and called it authorized_keys. And then I removed the .shosts file. But, when I connect it asks for my pass phrase. I guess I thought it wouldn't ask for my pass phrase when using the authorized_keys setup. Can someone clear up what I did wrong when trying to set up the authorized_keys method of authentication? Also, my goal is to use a news server on my ISP, but my IP number isn't one of theirs, so I need to tunnel to their nntpd server. I do this now by issuing this: ssh1 -g -lmoseley -L1234:nntp.my.isp.com:119 my.isp.com And from then on I can access their news server via port 1234 (yes, ipchains blocks that port externally). My question is this: Can I start that ssh tunnel via indetd? I'd like to be able to just connect to that port and have the ssh tunnel started. But I can't figure out the right way to put that in my indetd.conf file. Any ideas? How come every once in a while I get this? Secure connection to my.isp.com refused; reverting to insecure method. Using rsh. WARNING: Connection will not be encrypted. Is there a limit to how often I can connect via ssh? Any way to do rdist over ssh? Thanks!

Pico is a nifty editor if you're writing up an email or making a quick change to a file, but it's not exactly a powerhouse. I personally prefer nano (SuSE: are you listening? :), which is a pico clone with some much-needed enhancements. > VI is apparently the editor that's on many rescue disks, so I suppose > every Linux user should know something about it :-( The key to vi's popularity is twofold. Firstly, if you walk up to any UNIX or UNIX-like machine (Solaris, HPUX, IRIX, Linux, *BSD, OpenVMS, etc.), vi is there in one form or another. There is strength in numbers ;). Secondly, vi *is* a powerhouse of an editor; there are countless modifications, enhancements and so forth. -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"
