Interesting SuSE.com problem...
by Timothy R.Butler 06 May '01

06 May '01

Try going to SuSE's american site by typing the url as www.SuSE.com and www.suse.com . You will notice that suse.com is in english, whereas SuSE.com is in german. I'm assuming this is an error in Apache's handling of the virtual (assumedly IP-less) domain... -Tim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.

Apache kills System?
by Timothy R.Butler 06 May '01

06 May '01

Hi everyone, I have a curious problem. It seems that if I use Apache for any length of time (for just testing purposes, it doesn't actually have any load) on my system, that my hd starts thrashing, and everything comes down to a grinding halt - such a halt that it isn't even possible to excecute a killall command. Thus, I must reboot at that point. Any ideas? BTW, I'm using 7.1's copy of Apache. Thanks, Tim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.

Are there any plans to release Netscape 4.77 for Suse 7.1? Are there any advantages for upgrading from 4.76?

Re: [SLE] experience with SuSE' eMail-Server II ?
by Sean Akers 06 May '01

I don't know about SuSE e-mail server I'm afraid but you could look into Lotus Domino/Notes as an alternative to Exchange. Notes isn't too bad a client IMHO (its a shame there's no Linux client yet but I live in hope), and Domino stores everybody's mail file as a separate file. I'm using it now. It's a bugger to set up though. Also, Domino 5 provides IMAP, POP and web mail access which does allow clients to use Linux to read/send mail. I often use a browser to remotely access my Domino mail. I have never managed to find a good solution for using Linux and Windows clients with a Linux based server other than Domino. All the Windows e-mail clients (such as Calypso and Eudora) store the mail locally and in proprietary formats and it's difficult to allow any kind of roaming solution. Using sendmail and pop3 can be done setting up the clients to leave all the mail on the server but this is slow when the mail files get past a certain size. UW IMAP isn't very flexible as no nesting of folders is allowed and I couldn't get QMail and Cyrus installed and working and there was no groupware document database facility anyway, so I ended up with Notes/Domino. At least this allows some sort of roaming and if you set it up correctly (did I mention that this was a bugger?), you don't even need to install the Notes client on each machine, just install it to a network share and a shortcut is all the users need to put on their desktops. I'd love to see a cross platform, freeware solution to email/groupware. I did have a look at PHPGroupware but this was very buggy and I didn't feel confident with it. I hope you manage to find a reasonable solution. Cheers, Sean.

suse 7.1 bugs
by Zhigang Wang 06 May '01

06 May '01

hi, i think i found 2 bugs in the suse config. but i am curious if any others have experienced the same. i installed suse 7.1 on a gateway 7210 server with eepro100 card. problem 1: it could not save to modules.conf file. i have installed suse 7.1 at least 4 times. everytime, after activating the network card, i got a message, error occurred while saving modules.conf. when you reboot afterward, you see an error duing booting up, saying could not add default route because eth0 no such device. before i installed suse 7.1, i had redhat 7.0, so i saved modules.conf file. after i copied the file over, everything is good. the process does not even write to modules.conf file. in /etc, there is a file called modules.conf.- . problem 2: i noticed that my time is always wrong, my time zone is us eastern. it is always 4 hours behind. so, i changed the time. when i reboot, it lost the time again. then i noticed that /etc/localtime is linked to the wrong file, it is linked to ..//usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern. obviously that is wrong. so i lined it to the correct file. when i reboot, the bad link is back again. anybody knows where during the boot up process, /etc/localtime is linked? i think suseconfig is the bad boy. anybody else experienced it? also, i want to upgrade to kernel 2.4.2 kernel using rpm. how do you do that? thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

...I've no choice but to send it to the list, as any attempt to send this person mail bounces, with some mailserver accusing me of being a spammer. No matter what I put in my 'From' header.

Cron jobs: how to stop mail notification?
by Geordon VanTassle 06 May '01

06 May '01

Ok, it's been a while since I did it and I'e re-done my systems since, so my memory is a little faulty. What is it that I need to add to the entry in the crontab to disable mail-notification? I thought it was something like 2>&1, but that might be on AIX. TIA, Geordon

Wow!! I didn't know that my comment would fuel up so much energy. Well, here's some more info.
