If you use Kicq, click on the ICQ tab (bottom left corner) and go to the "New User" menu (top). Follow on-screen instructions. As for the ICQ server... IIRC, it is icq.mirabilis, port 4000 HTH, Martin -- 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

I've run portscans on the Linksys and am quite pleased with the results. The only gripe I have against the Linksys BEFSR41 is in order to upgrade the firmware you MUST to use Windows, so your friend will have to have a Windows partion on one of his systems. -- 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] Off Topic - Advice on an attempt of invasion
by mendes＠mgconecta.com.br 06 Sep '00

06 Sep '00

Hello I hope I am not bothering you guys too much but I wonder whether someone could give some help on how to proceed in case of an attempt of invasion on my network. The fact is that somebody tried to invade a computer on my network (unfortunately all of the computers have public IP addresses). He used a common hacker pogramme to achieve and was dumb enough to caught on the act of doing it. Having said I wonder whether what kind of procedure you would adopt in such a case (we don't have any specific legal support on the matter). Any/all comments would be extremely welcome. Thanks a lot for your patience and help.

[SLE] boot_problem
by eck＠raytheon.com 06 Sep '00

06 Sep '00

Hello, I'm currently running kernel 2.2.13 from SuSE 6.3. I downloaded k_deflt.rpm and installed it. This is the new SuSE kernel 2.2.16. Added lines into lilo.conf and ran lilo. Booting the new kernel resulted in the system saying there was a problem with my scsi partition. I do not boot from scsi but have it mounted to contain archive files. I do not think there is a problem with the scsi partion because when I boot to the original kernel (2.2.13) there is no problem, the scsi partition mounts automatically. However, looking into /var/log/boot.msg I see the following: <4>Configuring Adaptec (SCSI-ID 7) at IO:330, IRQ 11, DMA priority 7 <4>scsi0 : Adaptec 1542 <4>scsi : 1 host. <4> Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST51080N Rev: 0913 <4> Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 <4>Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 <4> Vendor: CONNER Model: CTT8000-S Rev: 1.17 <4> Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 <4>Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 <4>SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes.

Near as I can tell the lines applying to the scsi disk in /etc/modules.conf are the following: alias scsi_hostadapter aha1542 alias block-major-8 sd_mod Can anyone tell me what additions or changes I need to make to my system to remove the boot message about not being able to get major 8 for scsi disk. I'm hoping if I solve this problem it will lead me to solving the problem of not being able to boot with kernel 2.2.16.

[SLE] Switching WM/desktops
by canr＠mail.com 06 Sep '00

06 Sep '00

Is there a way of switching WM without having to reboot? I run YAST from the shell command line to switch from KDE to GNOME/Enlightement. When I then re-start X I still get KDE. If I reboot the machine and start X then I get GNOME/Enlightement. Shouldn't I just be able to switch WM by simply re-starting X?
