Kernel martian source
by filip 03 May '01

03 May '01

Hi all, Tried to send this message earlier but didn't go through. Moved quite far and after installing SuSE here behind a M$ ISP I get the following messages all the time. May 1 16:17:36 sts kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=17 192.168.0.101:137 192.168.0.255:137 L=78 S=0x00 I=16855 F=0x0000 T=128 (#3) May 1 16:18:18 sts kernel: martian source 0d00a8c0 for 6500a8c0, dev eth0 May 1 16:18:18 sts kernel: ll header: ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 e0 13 00 00 40 08 May 1 16:18:51 sts kernel: martian source 0a00a8c0 for 6500a8c0, dev eth0 May 1 16:18:51 sts kernel: ll header: ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 e0 13 00 00 37 08 Eth0 is the nic pointing to the internet ISP-M$. Port 137 seems to be related to netbios, thats OK because I don't want it, so firewall denies it. My questions are, why and what's the martian source ? How can I avoid it or is this related to M$-netbios or to the ISP M$-NT-netbios network. If so, any clue on charging M$ for using my diskspace, say one cent a log message line, due to sending incomprehensive, bugfull, martian code. TIA, Filip.

Hi Gaim looks great, but I can't find any documentation for it. It has plug-in's capability, but where can I get the plugins.? Gaim comes stock with just aim capability & I need a plugin for icq. Is there a url for Gaim that someone knows of , that I can download documentation, and plugins?

mounting a cramfs image OR cramfs on disk
by phantasm 03 May '01

03 May '01

Ok I got what I needed off the Compact Flash card I was using, I used dd to extract the information and store it as a *img file in my home directory. Now I re-did my kernel to use Compressed ROMFS Support (cramfs) and tried using mount -o loop -t cramfs /root/flash.img /mnt/flashcard and that locks up mount to where I can't even kill -9 the pid. I have tried putting -o loop in misc places all with the same result using: root@office:~ > mount -t cramfs /root/flash.img /mnt/flashcard mount: /root/flash.img is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?) and again when I use -o loop it locks and can't be killed. I decided to try a different method where I dd if=/root/flash.img of=/dev/hdc1 which puts in a few thousand records (65K) and exits normally. but once I do that I use mount -t cramfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt/flashcard and it says root@office:~ > mount -t cramfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt/babygfs mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc1, or too many mounted file systems I checked the image with khex edit, and in there, there are references to a Compressed ROMFS and shows a directory structure in the mix os everything, so I know there is something in there. I am going crazy trying to find an answer to mouting this, ANY help would be appreciated greatly! Robert Kris Davies

Whenever I try to install from a directory (rather than a CD), I get this message. I've tried various path-name variations. Has anyone else heard of this problem? Are there any thoughts on a solution? Thanks. JR

Where are newer 2.4.x kernels
by Paul W. Abrahams 03 May '01

03 May '01

I've seen lots of references to experiences with newer 2.4.x kernels (2.4.2., 2.4.3, and even 2.4.4). I know I can get them from kernel.org, but the references seem to imply that there are SuSE versions of at least some of them available also. All I've been able to find (on the web page ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/kernel) is an RPM for the compiled version of the 2.4.2 kernel. Can anyone point me to SuSE sources for the 2.4.2 kernel or to binary updates for 2.4.3 or 2.4.4? Paul Abrahams

Auto-update

Dear all, is there any tool for automatically updating a SuSE version? Something like the apt-* utils on Debian or the "Smart Update" on M$ Windoze... Thanks, Martin

TCP/IP forwarding queue works fine as before, but printing via GhostScript produces crappy results worth trash can only. Andrei
