HP 9000 D200 & SuSE Linux
by Zden�k Hornych 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

Hello, I have this question: Could anyone tell me how I should create bootable CD-ROM with distribution SuSE Linux but with bootable kernel Linux/PARISC (PALinux) from distribution Debian? I have live system Debian on my box HP 9000 but prefer SuSE. I have CD-ROM's SuSE Linux 7.0 - it isn't bootable on my box and CD-ROM Developer's Release Linux/PARISC which boots perfectly. Could you recommend me what I should study or do? Thanks Zdenek Hornych

WindowMaker 0.63-1 RPMS and SPMS ready for SuSE 7.0, want to upload
by Anders Dahlqvist 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

I've made RPMS and SPMS for WindowMaker 0.63-1. They work for me on my 7.0 system. No guarantee that they should work for anyone else, but no reason why they shouldn't. I've added the SuSE-inspired them Zerosurface as extra eye-candy. I want to share this whith the rest of the SuSe world, but I don't have a site of my own. If anyone wants to host this , please contact me off the list. Best regards Anders Dahlqvist

Suse 7.0 ftp client && Solaris 8.0
by Manuel Benet 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

Hi, I have installed Suse 7.0 (I installed it recently) and I'm experiencing problems when doing ftp to Sun machines that run Solaris 8.0. The error I'm getting is (assume source is linux 7.0 and destination is aaa.aaa.com, running Solaris 8.0): ftp> o aaa.aaa.com Connected to aaa.aaa.com. 220 aaa FTP server (Servidor FTP) ready. Name (aaa.aaa.com:mbenet): root 331 Password required for root. Password: 230 User root logged in. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> hash Hash mark printing on (1024 bytes/hash mark). ftp> cd /usr/local/src 250 CWD command successful. ftp> mput pat* mput patchdiag.xref [anpqy?]? y 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||43835|) 200 EPRT command successful. 425 Can't build data connection: Address family not supported by protocol family. ftp> ls 200 EPRT command successful. 425 Can't build data connection: Address family not supported by protocol family. ftp> ^D suse_linux_:~ $ I would think it's my instalation, but the fact that other Suse boxes that I've checked have the same problem make me think that it's problem of the Suse FTP client. It works from other distributions such as Debian, Slackware and Redhat. It's this a Suse problem (if so, there's any patch around available?) or it's a configuration error in my machine. I appreciate any help. Thanks, Manolo

ntpd problems
by MaD dUCK 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

hey, i am running xntp version 3 on one of my machines and updates from various time servers work perfectly. i would like to use this server as a time server for my internal network (192.168.14.0) and have added the appropriate lines to /etc/ntp.conf: restrict default ignore restrict 192.168.14.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap notrust however, trying it out with ntpdate, i get an error: fishbowl:~ # ntpdate -b -p8 -u albatross 17 Jan 00:35:50 ntpdate[20159]: no server suitable for synchronization found fishbowl:~ # ntpdate albatross 17 Jan 00:35:57 ntpdate[20172]: no server suitable for synchronization found fishbowl:~ # so i went ahead and tested the server with a windoze client, running dimension 4 (prolly the best ntp client for windoze), and it states that the server (albatross) returns a wrong ntp packet. how do i enable the ntp server to be used by ntpdate on the internal network? thanks, martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo madduck@!#:1:s@\@@@.net -- today's an excellent day for putting slinkies on an escalator.

Quoting (and another thing)
by Cliff Sarginson 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

I wish people would somehow suppress the hugely long signatures with their name,company,fax,email,address,adverts, mother's maiden name etc. That really is a pain ! Turn the signatures off guys before you send to a mailling list..:) Cliff

PPP server
by Mark Robinson 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

Hi all, I'm having a small problem with setting up a ppp server using an external modem. Everything seems to work fine, mgetty hands off the connection to pppd which authenticates and logs in the user fine. The problem is with the IP address/netmask combination. I set the IP in /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 and that gets picked up fine, but the client (Win98) gets the netmask of 255.0.0.0, it needs to be 255.255.255.0 to see the rest of the net (required for printing etc). The default gateway is set to 10.0.1.100 but I can't actually ping it 'cos the netmask is wrong! I've set the netmask to 255.255.255.0 in /etc/ppp/options (and the file mentioned above) but it doesn't work :-( I can't find any info in the man pages, readme's etc... Anyone else found this/fixed it??? Mark mailto:mcr@reason-technology.com
