SuSE 7.1 w/ 2.4 kernel & ipchains
by Jeffrey Taylor 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

I just installed 7.1 with the 2.4 kernal. I am using SuSEfirewall and ipchains. It doesn't seem to be blocking anything. What do I use with 2.4 kernals to build a firewall in a hurry. TIA, Jeffrey

Compiling drivers in SMP mode
by Houghton, Chris 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

I'm running SuSE Enterprise Server 7 on a dual processor ia32 and trying to compile driver source. I'm relatively new to Linux. Initially I received two warnings: kernel source version (2.4.7) does not match running kernel (2.4.7-64GB-SMP) and kernel source configuration (UP) does not match running kernel (SMP) I was able to eliminate the first warning by running "make include/linux/vershion.h CONFIG_SMP=1 CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=1" which fixed the UTS_RELEASE define in version.h. But I don't know how to configure the source for SMP at compile time. Any pointers appreciated. Chris H

I wonder if someone can point me out how to read & write chinese in SuSE. I already change the KDE language to chinese, but can't read a things. I believe this is font isue, but I don't know which font support chinese. I haven't do research for chinese input method for Linux. Please enlighten me where should I start for this. I'm running SuSE 7.3 Pro. thanks.

SuSEfirewall5.1 and droping internal lan
by Togan Muftuoglu 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

Hi, I have a setup as follows Internet =pppoe fixed ip LAN= eth0 192.168.1.0/24 DMZ= eth2 192.168.2.0/29 I have set SuSE firewall 5.1 on the Firewall/router box and on the DMZ box. Evertyhing works fine until LAN starts a rsync or an ftp request. Then the commnication to LAN drops down I need to bring eth0 down and up again. If it's mail or web traffic everything works fine. Below is my setup for the main firewall. What do I need to stop the LAN from droping . So far I just set a cron job which checks the LAN connection for eth0 and if ping does not answer runs /sbin/ifconfig eth 0 up. Any ideas what causing this FW_DEV_WORLD="ppp0" FW_DEV_INT="eth0" FW_DEV_DMZ="eth2" FW_ROUTE="yes" FW_MASQUERADE="yes" FW_MASQ_NETS="192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/29" FW_MASQ_DEV="$FW_DEV_WORLD" FW_PROTECT_FROM_INTERNAL="yes" FW_AUTOPROTECT_GLOBAL_SERVICES="yes" FW_SERVICES_EXTERNAL_TCP="22 25 80 443" FW_SERVICES_EXTERNAL_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_TCP="domain ssh 80 443" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_UDP="domain" FW_SERVICES_INTERNAL_TCP="21 22 25 53 110 119 161 162 873 6667" FW_SERVICES_INTERNAL_UDP="domain 161 162" FW_SERVICES_INTERNAL_IP="" FW_TRUSTED_NETS="192.168.1.3" FW_SERVICES_TRUSTED_TCP="ssh 161:162" FW_SERVICES_TRUSTED_UDP="ssh 161:162" FW_SERVICES_TRUSTED_IP="icmp" FW_SERVICES_TRUSTED_ACL="" FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_TCP="ftp-data" FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP="DNS" FW_SERVICE_DNS="yes" FW_SERVICE_DHCLIENT="no" FW_SERVICE_DHCPD="no" FW_SERVICE_SAMBA="no" FW_FORWARD_TCP="192.168.1.3,192.168.2.2,22 \ 192.168.1.3,192.168.2.2,161:162" FW_FORWARD_UDP="192.168.1.3,192.168.2.2,161:162" FW_FORWARD_IP="" FW_FORWARD_MASQ_TCP="0/0,192.168.2.2,80 0/0,192.168.2.2,443\ 216.200.145.35,192.168.1.3,25 216.200.145.36,192.168.1.3,25\ 216.200.145.37,192.168.1.3,25 216.200.145.38,192.168.1.3,25 " FW_FORWARD_MASQ_UDP="" # Redirect TCP connections FW_REDIRECT_TCP="192.168.1.0/24,0/0,21,21 192.168.1.0/24,0/0,6667,7666" # Redirect UDP connections FW_REDIRECT_UDP="" # Log critical denied network packets FW_LOG_DENY_CRIT="yes" # Log all denied packets FW_LOG_DENY_ALL="no" # Log critical accepted packets FW_LOG_ACCEPT_CRIT="yes" # Log all accepted packets FW_LOG_ACCEPT_ALL="no" FW_KERNEL_SECURITY="no" FW_STOP_KEEP_ROUTING_STATE="yes" # Allow ping on firewall FW_ALLOW_PING_FW="yes" # Allow ping on DMZ targets FW_ALLOW_PING_DMZ="no" FW_ALLOW_FW_TRACEROUTE="no" FW_ALLOW_FW_SOURCEQUENCH="yes" #using ftp-proxy so redirect 21 -> #using tircproxy so redirect 6667 ->7666 FW_MASQ_MODULES="autofw cuseeme mfw portfw h323 quake raudio user vdolive" FW_CUSTOMRULES="/etc/rc.config.d/firewall-custom.rc.config" -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx

unable to chmod & chgrp tty[1-7]
by Raúl Gutiérrez Segalés 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

Continuing with my older thread, about respawning to fast... I saw in my logs that /sbin/mingetty is unable to initialize /dev/tty2-6 ... I have checked permissions and group, they seem find but the odd thing is that I am unable to chmod them (I want to give read and execute permission to group and others, just to do some trial & error... but it says operation not permitted and I am doing it as root!!!) Any ideas of what can have gone wrong?? If my tty(s) got corrupted, should I use mknod to regenerate them? Thanks! Raul
