fetchmail vs sendmail-expensive
by Jim 01 Jan '02

01 Jan '02

I want local mail to be delivered immediately, including mail brought in by fetchmail. I want outgoing mail to be queued, to be delivered when cron says so. I don't want local mail from userA to userB on my local network to cause sendmail to dial up. What FEATUREs should I set up to accomplish these goals? Setting SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE="yes" seems to queue all local mail, including that from fetchmail, but without it, local mail seems to cause a dialup. This must be a common scenario; what's the trick? TIA, Jim

Apparently, it is a TRiTON FX(430?) chipset from Intel. I have now wasted 45 minutes on the Intel homepage to see if I can get the information about sort of this little outdated board - no. Not even the search function knows about TriTon fx and what I would like to know is the maximum of addressable memory that this board and its chipset can handle. Is there anyone of you knowing how to get that info? Thanks!

Hi, I have compiled and installed custom compiled kernel. However, running mk_initrd created RAM disk ONLY for SuSE stock kernels, not for mine? Any idea waht I am missing? Thanks in advance. Andrei.

yast2 messages: what do these mean?

What is the meaning/importance of these messages from yast2? Are these something to be concerned about? If so, what do I do?

Re: [SLE] VMware Workstation 3.0

> I have solved the problem. I DID NOT use Volker's script again. I Ehhm, I don't think I gave any scripts for vmware? > I have the article from Volker Kuhlmann "Installing VMware express 2.0.4 on > SuSE Linux 7.3". > > Is that article ok, and valid also for the VMware Workstation 3.0 ??. It clearly states at the top that it is intended for 2.0.4, that means if you use it for 3.0 (with which you expect significant changes) you can't blame it on errors in the text if it doesn't work. Personally I won't get 3.0 soon as it's far too $$$$$ for the odd bit of quick M$ compatibility. For any substantial jobs I prefer native apps... My take is that some parts (of the writeup) will not be required or stuff things up, whereas other parts (e.g. the kernel header issue) will still require the same attention. View the text as a "good start", but with each step find out whether it's required before doing it. HTH a bit Volker

YaST2 and Packages on HD
by Vic Ayres 01 Jan '02

01 Jan '02

Having some spare disc space (and time), I copied my 3 7.3 Personal CD's to HD at /data1/SuSE/cd1, cd2, cd3. Now, when I try to point YaST2 to these - specifically /data1/SuSE/cd1 - it says "No installation data found on medium" and clicking More details gives "Could not mount the source medium". Of course, I thought, because it's already mounted. So, I unmounted it. But it makes no difference. I can't find anything on the support database. Any suggestions. (BTW, I tried YaST(1). It appears to work OK.) -- Vic

Determining dependencies for an RPM
by David Kanter 01 Jan '02

01 Jan '02

How do people solve dependency problems when an RPM won't install? How do you figure out which RPMs need to be installed first to satisfy the failed dependencies? I'm trying to install java2 but I get this error: error: failed dependencies: libodbc.so is needed by java2-1.3.1-85 libodbcinst.so is needed by java2-1.3.1-85 libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 is needed by java2-1.3.1-85 I know that the compat package will take care of the last problem. But what about the other two? Which RPMs own these files?

cable modem newbie needs help
by Albert Wagner 01 Jan '02

01 Jan '02

Ok. After two years using Kppp, I finally have digital cable. I don't know how I got it working. My ISP only supplies instructions for Windows. But for the moment, after some random, uninformed twiddling, I am up. Now, how do I cover by butt? I feel unbelievably vulnerable. What services should I not allow? What should I do about security? I am on SuSE 7.1, KDE 2.2.1. Is the personal firewall useful? Help! Albert Wagner

When using sensors on my SuSe 7.3 I get "Chasis intrusion detection" I have no idea what this is and if it is something to work on. Can somebody give me a hint?
