netscape problems
by Chris Large 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

I'm running netsacpe version netscape-4.75-13.i386.rpm Which is suppose to be the right one for xfree 4.02. I'm geeting some pages displaying rather wierd such as SuSE's home page. The nav bar at the top is the right size but the links such as "Installation Support" are huge. I mean huge. They are bigger than the nav bar. The whole page will not fit on my moniter with 1600x1200 resolution. If i reduce my font size to "0" it gets better but still is big, but other pages are to small now. I usaully have it set at 18 points which works fine on most pages except SuSE's and one other at this time. Any idea as to why this is. Do i have to go back to the other version of netscape. I just tired that and it doesn't help. Any other idea's *--------------------------------* | Chris Large clarge(a)macn.bc.ca | | http://gone for now | *--------------------------------*

Router/Load Balancing
by Justin Bauer 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

Hi guys and gals, I am putting up a website on a somewhat small connection. I have a few questions that are bugging me a little. 1. If my connection is completely saturated by a few fast connections(dsl, cable, T1, ...), and a few slower ones(modem, ISDN), will the router automatically balance the bandwidth somewhat? Will the modems be hung out to dry? If another connection comes in to an already saturated connection, will they be hung out to dry? 2. Can I control how much bandwidth each person can have at the router level? If so, which package(s) can do this? Can make it so that if there's one high speed connection, they can use upto 95% of my available bandwidth so that if another person connects, they can have some bandwidth without my site looking totally lagged out? Would that matter? 3. My website will be comprised of multiple apache linux machines, since I don't have very good hardware. How can I provide load-balancing? I don't want to do a round-robin approach since my machines are not all the same speed. I'd like to balance the servers based on their load. I've seen mod-backhand for apache, but I'd really rather have the router do the load balancing. What software are you guys using? thank you, Justin Bauer jbauer(a)seas.smu.edu Google results 1-10 of about 113,000,000 for c. Search took 0.08 seconds.

Sun JDK1.2.2 (006) install -- 'No such file' errors under Suse 6.1??
by Garry Smith 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

SuSE Linux 6.1 (i386) - Kernel 2.2.7 Hi, I want to updgrade the Java distribution from java version "1.1.7" to the JDK1.2.2 from Sun. I extracted the file jdk-1_2_2_006-linux-i386.tar to /usr/lib/jdk1.2.2 Have altered the symlink /usr/lib/java to point to the new install. Now if I try something simple I get the following error: Garry@rustic:~ > /usr/lib/java/bin/java -version /usr/lib/java/bin/java: /bin/realpath: No such file or directory /usr/lib/java/bin/java: /bin/realpath: No such file or directory java was not found in /bin/i386/green_threads/java I have installed the same file onto a SuSE 7.0 Professional system and the above command works fine. Any ideas why the install on SuSE6.1 might be failing?? Why is the file not installed as expected?? (The previous 1.1.7 version still works as expected on SuSE6.1) Many thanks in advance Happy New Year! regards Garry

Typing "startx" seems to bring up 3.3.6. The readme from SuSE tells one on how to install it but that is it. All this effort to try and get my ati all-in-wounder 128 pro card to work. I tried "XFree86" which seemed to load 4.02 but all i get is blank screen. do i have to type something else to get all the other stuff to show on the screen. The screen refreshing seems off. the screen is fuzzy. Thanks <p> *--------------------------------* | Chris Large clarge(a)macn.bc.ca | | http://gone for now | *--------------------------------*

RE: [SLE] Is my firewall safe?
by Andrew Smith 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

Hi Ah, I see... Well, after quite a bit of treaking, I've managed to get my box pretty much secure as I can see, and portscans have been looking good. As far as FTP goes, I think I'll leave it as it is - there are only a couple of users on the machine and they wont be logging on frequently either. Many Thanks for all your help, Andrew :o) -----Original Message----- From: Greg Thomas [SMTP:ethant@pacificnet.net] Sent: 02 January 2001 04:05 To: Andrew Smith Cc: SuSE Linux Mailing List (E-mail) Subject: RE: [SLE] Is my firewall safe?

FTP passwords are passed in clear text. Anybody sniffs your passwords and you could be in trouble. At the very least absolutely do not allow root to ftp. Personally I would only allow anonymous FTP with quotas if uploading, or I would use SSH and scp (see www.openssh.com) Or, there is sftp that uses an sftp-compatible client and a server that tunnels over SSH. > Trojans were my main worry with the higher ports...

I have currently blocked all incomming CONNECTIONS from ports 0 to 1023 except for 20, 21 and 80 (as the machine is also being used for a web & ftp server). I know that this range of ports are used by services run as root, so should this be enough? I was considering blocking connections from 0 to 65535 but this would mean 'real' ftp wouldnt work for me and i'd have problems running Halflife multiplayer games - oh no!!! > > All the firewalls in the world aren't going to help you if you can ftp > with a user account.

Hi Anyone using CUPS on SuSE 7.0? I tried to intall the 1.1.5 rpm, set it up for my Epson Stylus 900 on /dev/lp0 but it refused to print. I then removed CUPS and reinstalled lprold and now cant print from that either! In fact, ls >/dev/lp0 doesn't work either :-( Any ideas/hints? Nick Gaunt

Configuration of Sony DSC P1 Camera
by Stewart Watson 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

Hi, i am running SuSE 7.0 and I am trying to configure the sublect camera using the "usb-storage" module. From the Linux-USB.org site I know that the camera memory can be configured as an extra scsi drive (although the connection is USB). I have modified my usb-storage.c file to include the Vendor data for the camera and the modprobe does not return any error messages but if I switch the camera on it doesn't seem to get as far as the module with the following message:- Jan 2 13:09:16 linux kernel: usb.c: This device is not recognized by any installed USB driver. i cannot locate any How-to's for this and the SuSE site seem lacking in anything to do with USB. Can anyone help? Thanks -- Stu "The specification said Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux"
