SuSe UK and 7.1
by Stewart Watson 01 Mar '01

01 Mar '01

Hello the list and Keith Powell and Michael Norman, Just this minute receoved an e-mail from SuSE UK giving details of my order for 7.1 Subscription so hopefully it is on its way to me, and all those who have placed orders directly with SuSE UK. It has been very frustrating sitting in the UK less than 1000 miles from where SuSE disks are manufactured with no 7.1 when the list has been full of comments from US users who have received their discs which were manufactured in Germany and then shipped to the US, sent to the retail distributers ................... etc, etc. -- Stu "The specification said Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux"

Fw: Cybertime equivalent package for SuSE Linux?
by scsijon 01 Mar '01

01 Mar '01

I sent this to somewhere, I don't remember where and i've had a crash cleanout and archive recovery since. I do know I had no answers then. Can anyone help me as it's worth an excellent chance of getting SuSe in a government department downunder. The only thing I didn't put (forgot) was the package needs to run background mode so the user can't play with it. > > Please, does anyone have a Linux equivalent of the Windows package Cybertime. > > We need a time based useage where at the end of a (preset from script depending > on user) time the port is logged out in all cases and it goes back to the login screen. > I know of a program for windows called cybertime but there has to be something like > this for linux somewhere? > > > Any replies to me with thanks in advance > scsijon

SuSE 6.4 boot pb. on Dell 2450 / SCSI Adaptec 7899
by Petri Mäkijärvi 01 Mar '01

01 Mar '01

I have a pb. when installing SuSE 6.4 on a new Dell 2450 PowerEdge PIII/733 SMP-2 1GB: All kernels that I have tried failed on boot when they try to start the Adaptec 7899 SCSI device driver. The drivers seems to detect the chip but then there is messages about "pid timeout", then "resetting channel", then "trying harder...", then - nothing. I have tested the hardware by formatting the hard disk with Adaptec's AIC-7899 SCSI BIOS V25306, incorporated with the system's BIOS. I have tried to load a network based PC management tool ( http://www.rembo.com) and it sees the hard disk OK, formats it and it installs even SuSE 6.4 on it without any problems. I have several other Dell 2450's around, about one year old, also with Adaptec 7899 and they do work well. I have tried 2.2.14, 2.2.18 and 2.4.2 kernels. All give the above results. The Adaptec's chip version is AIC-7899G, BQECO19, 752812. Thanks for any comments, Petri

Backup of full installations?
by Hein Ragas 01 Mar '01

01 Mar '01

Hello, We use SuSE 6.4 for our product development. We will soon be installing a set of test servers, to serve as a semi-stable testing environment. It is probable that we will have to re-install the complete system many times on these servers, to see if our software still runs on a basic install of SuSE. However, we do not want to spend lots of time with re-installing. Is there a utility that allows us to make an image of the whole system? This image should be placed on a self-bootable CD-ROM or something like that, so that we can start off with a completely blank system and install our typical SuSE installation. A backup program is therefore not fit for our purposes, since we would have to install SuSE to run the restore program. Thanks in advance, Hein Ragas

KDE 2.1.0 & WordPerfect Office 2000
by Greek Geek 01 Mar '01

01 Mar '01

Hi All, glad to hear SuSE 7.1 goes well. My ONLY local supplier, is waiting for their 7.0 personal ed'z to go afore they stock 7.1, so I am without for now :-( But I digress.... I have found that with the update of KDE, that the font graphics in WordPerfect are the best I have seen them. I am fairly sure, this has more to do with what is on the screen, that the Stella Artois (empty) on my desk.... It is summer down here after all... *BFN* Greek Geek :-) The Bible was written by the same people who said the Earth was flat.

rc.config for OpenSSH
by Jim Osborn 01 Mar '01

01 Mar '01

Does anyone have the "rc.sshd" file referred to in the OpenSSH articles in Linux Journal? This is a SuSE-specific file, not in the RedHat rpms on the OpenSSH site. The article refers (Jan 2001, p58--60) to this file as being in the "contrib" directory, but I can't seem to find any ssh stuff in any /pub/suse/contrib mirrors (or any suse stuff in the OpenSSH site). There's no contrib directory in the source tgz distribution on the openssh.com site. I suppose one could figure out what might want to be in that file (it goes in /sbin/init.d) or just put something in an rc.local file somewhere, but since it was referenced in such a public place, I thought I'd ask the SuSE community. TIA, Jim
