It was a great help. Now that you tell it, I very vaguely remember. Otherwise, I would not... Ah, this is one of the miseries of my life: I keep forgetting what I do, so when in interviews, people ask me what I did, I do not remember well and do not have much to say. I guess I do not "sell" myself very well! P.S. - For example, if you ask me, today, what are the interesting things I did in my life, the main thing which comes to mind is that, a few days ago, I turned the violon part of a nice menuet into a Lilypond score, then into a MIDI file, to help me practicing the accompaniment before the violonist gets here in a few days... Not quite representative of the whole me! :-) P.P.S. - So, I guess that we really are all kinds of SuSE users! :-) By the way, the Lilypond suite worked out of the SuSE 6.4 box, immediately, with no fuss, to my great happiness.

Other way: run KFM. Is even slower then Nitscope and doesn't do Java and such. Oh well, one of the reasons I'm running Linux is that it offers me the opportunity to learn lots of stuff I wouldn't bother learning under that other OS. Is it wise, from a security standpoint, to run a DNS service on a gateway/firewall?

[SLE] Netscape, dial on demand and local HTTP server
by Martijn.van.den.Burg＠asml.nl 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Hi, I have a two-machine network. One is the user's machine, the other is the HTTP server (Apache) and firewall/internet machine. The internet machine uses dial on demand: whenever a user requests a URL from a browser the internet machine dials out (and shuts down Apache of course). The problem is this: I am not able to access the local HTTP server with Netscape . If I point Netscape to the server's URL (http://cygnus/) it freezes and waits till a dial-out connection is made, which is what I don't want when accessing the local server. However when I use KFM (KDE 1.1.2) I do not get this problem and I can happily connect to my local HTTP server. My resolv.conf tells to search the local net first for an IP address ('search myshack.nl'), then contact a DNS 'outside'. It looks like Netscape does not bother searching the local domain and goes straight to my ISP's DNS. Does anybody know what is happening here?

[SLE] Internet conection sharing (router?)
by tb64710＠ltec.net 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Hello list, I have a two box home lan, one windows, one linux,etc. Windows box is 192.168.0.2, linux box is 192.168.0.3 or 192.168.0.1 when booted also to windows. Would like the linux box to be a router or gateway(?), so both machines can hook to the 'net at the same time, ala internet conection sharing. Is this possible and simple? I have another NIC I can put in the linux box...what ip address should it get? I am also using Mason firewall on the linux box, however I believe it is wide open at this point. We are on a dial-up w/ an ISP (yes, it sucks), so I don't feel real vulnerable. Someday I'll dive into that. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is this actually a case for ipmasq? If so, I could use some help there, as well. Or just point me to some simple reading ;-) Thanks a bunch. -- TRBishop tb64710(a)ltec.net Registered Linux User #12043 <Powered by SuSE 6.4> -- 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/faq

[SLE] need help with sendmail and relaying
by clarge＠macn.bc.ca 27 Jul '00

27 Jul '00

I'm trying to get sendmail to accept our domain for relaying. But not matter what i do it just will not accept them. This is a suse6.1 system if that helps. i have this in /etc/mail/access macn.bc.ca RELAY 209.52.241 RELAY and this in /etc/mail/relay-domains macn.bc.ca 209.52.241 We have a terminal server and it is mainly the ones that use that are having the problems. do i have to enter yet of those address in one of those files or can one wild card it? This all worked before we changed ip numbers but all the domains stayed the same. I just can't see why it won't now when it did 3 days ago. *--------------------------------* | Chris Large clarge(a)macn.bc.ca | | http://gone for now | *--------------------------------* -- 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/faq
