Networking printers/Samba + Netatalk
by Andrei Verovski 21 Mar '01

21 Mar '01

Hi, I have two laser printers - Tektronix Phaser 740 (B&W, PostScript, Ethernet), and Apple LaserWriter 12/640PS (B&W, PostScript, Ethernet, Duplex, AppleTalk only), both need to be shared via SuSE X86 Pro print server (no direct printing), with both Macs and PCs. lpd and apsfilter setup manual is somewhat confusing. Does anyone has a guide, how-to or just suggestion how to do it? PS. I have both Samba and Netatalk running OK, bot no CUPS. Thanks in advance Andrei

RE: [SLE] RE: cfug-talk; Need help with ADSL: Any Roaring Penguin Pros?
by mhf 21 Mar '01

I may have misinterpreted one of the adsl-setup steps. When Roaring Penguin ver. 2.6 asked for DNS address, I opted simply to enter "server." It seemed like the logical choice as I thought SNET DSL dynamically assigns all the addresses in the process, both the server I log into and my own address. I'm at work.........boss comin'...........scramble.......more later.

For SNET, I believe they are 204.60.0.2 and 204.60.0.3. Can you ping >anything? How about connecting to an IP address, instead of the name? Like >http://64.58.76.179, which is Yahoo.com's IP address.

by SuSE Mailing List 21 Mar '01

21 Mar '01

I have a SuSE 7.0 box being used as a mail server and it accepts mail fine and I can send mail find from the box. I also want to relay mail through this machine from my office. My office is behind a pix. I added the following entries to /etc/mail/access 127 RELAY 64.x.x.x OK 64.x.x.x OK 208.46 OK I can relay fine from the 64.x machines, which are on the same subnet as my mail server (DSL with 5 statics) however I cannot relay from the 208 network. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, CC

As someone who is forever losing track of which .config goes with which kernel, let me just say, "thanks" to whoever came up with this idea. :)

long usernames
by Jeffrey Taylor 21 Mar '01

21 Mar '01

I just checked and I can create usernames longer than 8 characters. I do remember having to add some package to get passwords longer than 8 characters. A check of installed packages shows PAM as the most likely one. Try installing and configuring PAM. HTH, Jeffrey -- I don't do Windows and I don't come to work before nine. -- Johnny Paycheck

8 chr limitation for email UID on EMail Server II
by LOURO Auguste 21 Mar '01

21 Mar '01

Hi, We are ISP in france, and we are testing a Email Server II for replacement of our old NT mail server ... We have successfully installed the software, it seems to work OK. But wa just have a little question, when we add a user account, the UID is limited to 8 letters, is it possible to change this to more ?? . We don't understand this limitation, because it seems that the user database is based on an LDAP diectory.

DAT operations while using cdrecord
by Arjen Runsink 21 Mar '01

21 Mar '01

Hello there, I have an old server with a SCSI DAT, and amongst other things an IDE cd writer. The following happend with kernels 2.2.16.SuSE and 2.4.2 (not SuSE) <BIG FAT WARNING> If you test the following, do it in single user mode with all your disks mounted read-only. (And if you don't know what I mean, do not do it at all!) </BIG FAT WARNING> Here goes: make the DAT busy with for example: mt erase & On my DDS2 that will take a few hours. next do the following cdrecord -scanbus after that it is time on my machine to do a hard reset! Reallly _every_ process (but the mt erase) is halted! Even the magiq SySRq will not help. You might say: "Don't do that!" But hey, what else is there to do while waiting for the tape to be erased than compile that CD with music for the car etc. etc. So I was wondering if this error can be replicated on other machines? Is there someone who (c/d)ares to test? BB, Arjen
