Both are using 802.11b wireless, and hook up just fine through an Apple Airport for access to the external internet - they are able to browse the Web, fetch and send Pop email, do ssh to external machines, etc. The Airport is connected vie ethernet to a 3Com ISDN modem with an integrated firewall and ethernet hub; the DHCP is done on the 3Com box. They are also able to print to an Axis printserver that I have connected to the 3Com box - they are able to find it as a named computer, and address its print queue. I also have six Apple Macs on the network; they are all able to see each other via Apple's file sharing methods, and print, and access the external web . Here is the problem: I can't figure out how to go from one Linux laptop to another, via rlogin, ssh, etc. I also can't see the Apple machines from the Linux boxes, or vice-versa. I'd like to make it so the Linux machines are visible & log-inable inside my LAN. This is probably dirt simple (I hope so anyway!), but I just lack the one or two essential bits of know-how that I have not had the wit to glean from the available documentation. I'd appreciate any advice & pointers. -- R o b T o w robtow(a)tauzero.com www.tauzero.com/Rob_Tow (408)-829-7407 * * his sword for hire * another faithless lord left, * the ronin walks on * -- 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 archives at http://lists.suse.com

Hi all.. I've been reading about the Yast1 / 2 problem. Let me ask a question. For example, if I buy a copy of SuSE 8.0 and burn copies to give away, that's OK, right? What if I charged only for my costs? Or what if I sell the same copies to guys downunder for say double my cost, ie about 20 euro. Is this OK? If not, why not? Heck the Aussies on the list were moaning about the price. I could burn just the 7 disks and mail them there for around 20-25 euro. What's stopping me? BTW, I just got a burner <G>.

finding files
by Clayton Cornell 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

I need a pointer for command line tools to find files. 'locate' and 'whereis' work OK for most things as long as they are in that database, but I need to pattern/filename match the way 'find' does things... but across multiple directories. As far as I can tell from reading the man page on 'find' I can only search the current directory, or a directory I specify when I type in the command. So, I want to search across multiple directories the way 'locate' does, but I don't want to use the database thing that 'locate' uses... I want to pattern match. Can 'find' do this? Is there a better way to do this from the console? C.

I simply want to log onto the remote machine through SSH and start up the X app on THEIR end for them. It's just a convenience. If I ever reboot their machine remotely, I don't want to have to call them and say "ok, now click on that icon at the bottom of the screen to start the program". Basically, imagine I set up a server for a remote client, and this client has no idea how to use linux. Nor do I want them poking around inside the system. I want to be able to start their X app remotely. I tried VNC but with VNC I am able to log onto their computer but I cannot see the 'task bar' at the bottom of the screen (the KDE task bar), not am I able to see any X apps even though they ARE running on that machine. --------------------------- Eric Carbone

SITUATION: I been trying to run YaST Online Update (YOU) from the text version of yast2. I've tried both the automatic method and the manual method. Both were from ftp.suse.com. First it was running out of space so I am now mounting /tmp on a NFS file system with 5 gig. PROBLEM: Now YOU just returns to a command prompt where I have to do "stty sane" to bring sanity to my tty session. HARDWARE: I am running this on a pentium 100MHz box. Any suggestions on where I can go from here?

bootable CD's
by Mike 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hi, I'm trying to create a bootable CD for Windows. I know I need to create an image of a bootable floppy for this. No problem. I did a dd if=/dev/fd0 of=boot.img. That created the image of a bootable floppy. Now I try to get it burned onto a CD. I've tried both Xcdroast and mkisofs from the command line. No luck. Most of the time it tells me that it can't find the boot.img file. But it is there, and it is the right size. I'm missing something quite simple but can't figure it out. The man page is of little or no help other than giving the -b eltorito_img_file command. no examples to be found on the page at all. Does anyone know how to do this?

Two Questions...QUOta and DTK
by Michael Garabedian 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

I tried using the dtk intrusion detection system and I get errors within the code, has anyone been able to successfully use this package, then I will ask my question I think it has something to do with perl scripts Question 2 I am using quota and I had to import user directories into a new box. I imported them, had to recreate the quota.user file in the home directory I set up usrquota in the fstab file, and and reinitialized quota by rebooting,cause I put the script in the boot script after proc is loaded, like the howto said I use midnight commander to view files, and found that the quota user for the / directory is green with a "*" next to it, while the /home file is just grey, now when I type quota I should see a list of the files and disk usage for the users I have set it for(which I have) edquota -u <username> now I am trying to see why this wont work. Any ideas

Eagletec 810M mainboard - bad video card performance?
by mylinuxmails eccent 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hi, Is there anybody who also uses a Eagletec 810M mainboard and experiences(ed) bad display quality. I have a workstation working on it and the quality of the display is bad ! Suse recognised the onboard graphics card as a SiS630 GUI Accelerator + 3D. (the only linux distro that actually recognized it !!) But the quality is not even near to what it suggests it should be. I can see everything on the screen but it is divided in very small horizontal lines. Any suggestions to a solutions? Thanx in advance. Cheers Filip

X over ssh
by mylinuxmails eccent 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hi, advise welcome, so for the experts among you: _SITUATION:_ I have a server located behind a firewall at location A with portforwarding on port 22 to the server. WAN-IP of firewall is known. I have a workstation at location B for which the IP is not know to the outerworld and port 22 is not forwarded to that pc (just a regular pc) but to one of our office server instead. _WHAT I LIKE TO DO:_ run x over ssh from my pc to the server. Settings: I set the $DISPLAY on my pc to my IP address and run xhost + I set the $DISPLAY on the server side to my IP address also (at least this is how we do it for internal servers) and then run the x-application BUT: since my local pc's IP address is not know to the outside, this won't work. Does anybody know a work around. VPN maybe? If you need more information I 'll be glad to provide that. Thanx in advance. Cheers, Filip
