After a restart, I've been unable to connect to wuftpd. My ftp session is being rejected. I checked my logs and found a TON of the following message: "./tcpd[530]: warning: can't get client address: Socket operation on non-socket" What's up with this? Spunk

default passwd?
by Tom Poe 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Hi: I'm running SuSE7.1Pro Ed and downloaded postgresql. There's a lot of confusion on my part about what SuSE did with the handling of files, but more immediate is to clear up the part about what the password is, when I type the command, $ su - postgres Password: su: incorrect password Any experts out there install this, and if so, what documentation did you follow? I can't get a handle on where the SuSE install stops and the documentation continues. For example, looks like it's installed in /var/lib/pgsql, and pgaccess is in /usr/lib/pgsql, and commands are in /usr/include/pgsql/commands. Thanks, Tom

Got the famous LI on startup
by Pascal MiQUET 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Hello, I've the 7.1 Pro edition. I'm trying to install it on an OmniBook 6000 from HP. First there is a partition with Win2K$. I've already instal a Red Hat 7.0 on it all is fine. I can make the choice on startup between Linux on Dos. I've tried to install the SuSE 7.1, and on rebooting the system, I've got the LI and nothing else.. So I reinstall the Red Hat and got access to both Linux and Windows. What can I do to check if LiLO was installed on the MBR rather than the Linux Partition ? What must be checked to get SuSe running on my laptop. Thanks for your help

sensors on Asus
by Guy Van Sanden 07 Jun '01

Hello I have an Asus a7v133-raid motherboard. I can't seem to get temperature sensors working on it. sensors-detect reports the module via686a, if I load it, the readings are below 0 (which it were true). I read somewhere that this board has another sensor set (ad... something), but I don't know how to load them... Any ideas? Thanks Guy

sudo+nis does not work on SuSE but works on Red Hat
by Konstantin (Kastus) Shchuka 07 Jun '01

07 Jun '01

Hi SuSErs, I bumped into a ridiculous problem. I just joined a mixed Solaris/Red Hat environment and introduced a SuSE box into that environment. It uses NIS and sudo quite widely. I changed netgroup setting to nis in my /etc/nsswitch.conf, added a new group to /etc/passwd, created User_Alias in sudoers, restarted nscd. Now sudo rejects my correct password. I tried to replace /etc/pam.d/sudo with contents from /etc/pam.d/su and sudo started to work but it does not ask for any password what I don't like. I compared /etc/pam.d/sudo to the one from Red Hat 7.0, it;s completely different. Red Hat uses pam modules which don't exist on SuSE. I searched the archives of SuSE list but found nothing. Does anybody else use sudo on SuSE in NIS environment? Or is it a privilege of Red Hat to support it? I would hate to fall back to installing Red Hat on my desktop. -Kastus

Re: [SLE] Anti-aliasing messed up konqueror royaly
by dieter 07 Jun '01

07 Jun '01

I don't know if this is very helpfull but I'll tell you my similar experiences. When I had the NVidia 0.9-676 drivers I didn't have this problem with the nv driver but I had it with the nvidia driver. (Without ever having touched the kcontrol option). Then I upgraded to the 1.0-1251 drivers and the problem seemed to have gone, so I assumed it must have been driver related. Then I did the same as you did (turning font aliasing on) and I had my square fonts again. Just as with you I couldn't resolve it by checking the font aliasing option back off. Also, removing my .kde directory didn't make any difference, nor working as another user. A few days ago I compiled and installed the latest XFree and now the problem is gone again. I really don't know the cause of these ugly fonts but you can try reinstalling your XFree packages. You can make the fonts readable by making the fontsize bigger.
