ISDN dialin server
by Manuel Martínez Valls 29 Jun '01

29 Jun '01

Hi, I'm still trying to set up a dialing server. I've installed two ISDN cards, so I've configured four ippp devices. Then I've tried to connect to Internet, just to test, and it works (just testing on one b-channel, I don't care the others now). When I get incoming calls from an Office Connect ISDN Lan modem it doesn't works. On the Linux machine I've created a system's user, and then I've configured the Office Connect via the configuration wizard. I've tried to configure it with just specifying user, passwd and phone number but it can't connect (after that I've tried to specify an IP address on the Office Connect but I've had exactly the same problems). I have the following on the /var/log/messages: Jun 29 18:44:17 ras kernel: ippp0: call from 971XXXXXX -> 971YYYYYY accepted Jun 29 18:44:17 ras isdnlog: Jun 29 18:44:17 * Call to tei 127 from +34 971/XXXXXX, Mallorca on +34 971/YYYYYY, Mallorca RING (Data) Jun 29 18:44:17 ras isdnlog: Jun 29 18:44:17 Call to tei 67 from +34 971/XXXXXX, Mallorca on +34 971/YYYYYY, Mallorca CONNECT (Data) Jun 29 18:44:17 ras ipppd[95]: Local number: 971YYYYYY, Remote number: , Type: incoming Jun 29 18:44:17 ras ipppd[95]: PHASE_WAIT -> PHASE_ESTABLISHED, ifunit: 0, linkunit: 0, fd: 7 Jun 29 18:44:17 ras kernel: isdn_net: ippp0 connected Jun 29 18:44:17 ras kernel: isdn_net: chargetime of ippp0 now 126839 Jun 29 18:44:17 ras ipppd[95]: MPPP negotiation, He: No We: No Jun 29 18:44:47 ras ipppd[95]: IPCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Jun 29 18:45:17 ras isdnlog: Jun 29 18:45:17 Call to tei 67 from +34 971/XXXXXX, Mallorca on +34 971/YYYYYY, Mallorca Normal call clearing (User) Jun 29 18:45:17 ras kernel: ippp0: remote hangup Jun 29 18:45:17 ras kernel: ippp0: Chargesum is 0 Jun 29 18:45:17 ras ipppd[95]: Modem hangup Jun 29 18:45:17 ras ipppd[95]: Connection terminated.

In that case, Is necesary to use radius to make it work? Is there a simple way to make it work? Thanks in advance, Manuel Martínez Valls

named prob
by Felipe Blanco 29 Jun '01

29 Jun '01

Hi everybody. I have a little problem with the cache of the named.... I am trying to transfer a zone , but the secondary ns always transfer the zone as it likes.. I have a zone file that few months ago the mx point to ( by example mail.domain.com) and recently the zone change and the mx now must point to mail.anotherdomain.com , after copy the file to the secondary ns with the new configuration, i restart named and transfer the zone with the old mx... I think maybe is for the nscd, i am not sure about this. I imagine that nscd have a way to refresh the cache , that maybe is the problem , but i dont know how to make it could anyone tell me something about that ?? I am using 8.2.4-REL ,and i have this problem in 8.2.3-REL too, the upgrade doesnt make nothing Thanx

I had to do a complete install from scratch to get apache working like you did. it works here at work but not at home so I guess another install there. another question now do you know what I need to do to make say /home/jack/public_html readable now . i have gone an done a chmod o+x /home/jack an also chmod o+r /home/jack/public_html an still can not pull the page there from a windows machine. I can enter the ip address of the suse box an get the default suse test info page. Am I doing something wrong here or what. I had this working once in the past an now I forgot what I did to make it work. thanks for any info. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com jack malone Network Administrator EAST TEXAS LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND dba HORIZON INDUSTRIES 903-595-3444 http://www.horizonind.com

Mozilla says install not complete: XF86?
by Steven T. Hatton 29 Jun '01

29 Jun '01

I was having a problem with Mozilla not starting with 7.1 after I applied one of the XF86, and KDE update collections from the SuSE ftp site. I then applied a later set of patches and the problem went away. I now have SuSE 7.2 and the latest patches. My Mozilla now gives me the same messages and will not start. It says it hasn't completed the installation and that I need to exit the program to allow it to complete. When I close the box and try to restart mozilla, I get the same error. Any clues? TIA, Steven

Compiling ogle for suse requires newer libtools & binutils
by dids 29 Jun '01

29 Jun '01

Im trying to compile ogle but get an error about decoder.o(.text+0x15b4): undefined reference to `vmPrint_CMD' then I notice that binutils & libtools versions are higher than those in 7.1 Is there anything I should know about compiling and installing these. I tried ./configure .. make install for libtools but it doesnt seem to put it in the right place Im wary about this as I dont want to break something fundamental has anyone else been through this with ogle ? thanks dids

Re: [SLE] Perfect upgrade 7.1 -> 7.2!

It went in very nicely. I do have 1 gripe...... Yast1 dosn't startup from the bootdisk as described on the cdrom jacket. You are supposed to put in cdrom#2 and enter Yast1 at the boot prompt. I get an error saying "Yast1: Boot Image not found." Then it proceeds to Yast2, and I get to Yast1 by aborting Yast2. It is way more time consuming than my 6.4 bootdisk. Otherwise, It looks great. My only disappointment is that the day I received 7.2, the "breakup of Microsoft was voided". zentara NetZero Platinum No Banner Ads and Unlimited Access Sign Up Today - Only $9.95 per month! http://www.netzero.net

"su" to root when you need to run the scripts 2. run the scripts as a root cron job 3. if you are at your console, keep a root login on 1 console(say alt-F1) and run as a user on another virtual console. If you are telnetting in, use ssh to login as root.. Whenever you need to run a root script, hit <alt-F1>. 4. Then there is the "SUID" file permissions, which can be a security risk, but it's an option. 5. Setup a special group for the scripts which allow selected users to run them. I'm sure there are more ways. zentara NetZero Platinum No Banner Ads and Unlimited Access Sign Up Today - Only $9.95 per month! http://www.netzero.net
