SuSEfirewall2 and FW_REDIRECT
by Ken Hughes 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

I posted this question a bit ago (thanks to those who responded!) but unfortunately I never got it working, so... I'm setting up a firewall with stock SuSE 7.3 and SuSEfirewall2. I also run Squid on this box and would like to use the FW_REDIRECT parameter to force all www traffic through the proxy so I do as suggested and enter: FW_REDIRECT="192.168.0.0/24,0/0,tcp,80,3128" however when I do this all the user gets is an error page saying that the requested url "/" cannot be retrieved. What's wierd is the "/" is a link to the actual requested page. This worked flawlessly in SuSEfirewall so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with firewall2? Thanks for any help. Stout of your choice goes to whoever can help me with this the next time your in Tacoma, WA. ;^) Ken -- Economists can certainly disappoint you.

Reselling SuSE ?????
by Jim Hatridge 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

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>.

RE: [SLE] Need help synchronising 2 FTP Servers

25 Mar '02

Hi Anders, I cannot have a delay. File transfer must begin as soon as the file has been uploaded to the server. So, I suppose rsync or mirror would be the best way to go. What are some "log watcher" apps that can launch a script, run rsync or mirror? Thanks, --------------------------- Eric Carbone -----Original Message----- From: Anders Johansson [mailto:andjoh@cicada.linux-site.net] Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 1:12 PM To: Eric Carbone Subject: Re: [SLE] Need help synchronising 2 FTP Servers Hi, It depends a bit on your requirements. If you can live with a slight delay between syncs, the simplest option would be to set up either mirror or rsync (both are included in suse's dist) as a cron job running at regular intervals. If you want instant action one idea that comes to mind is to log all transfers and use a log watcher to trigger an action (say, running rsync or mirror). Both ideas should be relatively trivial to set up. regards Anders On Monday 25 March 2002 18.53, Eric Carbone wrote: > Scenario: > > I have 2 FTP Servers - one at company "A" and another at company "B". > > > Here's what I would like to do: > > A person at company "A" uploads a file to their OWN ftp server (the one > located at company "A"). > > The uploaded files always go to the same directory (i.e. the 'send' folder) > > I need some sort of shell script or other means of AUTOMAGICALLY taking > this file and copying it over the Internet to the 'receive' directory on > the FTP Server at company "B".

Scenario: I have 2 FTP Servers - one at company "A" and another at company "B". Here's what I would like to do: A person at company "A" uploads a file to their OWN ftp server (the one located at company "A"). The uploaded files always go to the same directory (i.e. the 'send' folder) I need some sort of shell script or other means of AUTOMAGICALLY taking this file and copying it over the Internet to the 'receive' directory on the FTP Server at company "B". (Basically, I need automated server mirroring). The same needs to work in reverse: Files uploaded to company "B" send folder need to me copied over the Internet to company "A" receive folder. If anyone is willing to help me accomplish this task I will send you an amazon.com gift certificate! :-) I need to get this working and I don't know a thing about shell scripting.

RE: [SLE] Baffled newbie trying to reach NT LAN
by Art Fore 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

I also had problems connecting to NT network and never found anything on the internet or Suse about how to do this. (Suse Support will not help with network unless you pay them) Here is what I did. Go to control panel, network, windows share. Enter the information there. Go to Lan Browsing, enter the domain name, then apply. Install LinNeighborhood from the Suse 7.3 CD. Open LinNeighborhood (Internet, Tools), then do the setup on it under Options, Preferences. You can enter your logon and password. Then you go to Options, Browse entire network. You should be able to see all of the windows shares. You can then select the folder or drive and mount it. This should put it in your home directory. You can close LinNeighborhood, and then browse the share with Konqueror or other file manager. When you shutdown and start up again, all you have to do is to open LinNeighborhood again, let it mount the drives automatically, then close it again. You could also have LinNeighborhood start automatically. You can also use Komba2, but I have not tried that yet.

APC UPS Software

25 Mar '02

All, I am new to this list so let me give everyone here a big hello and good morning (even though it may not be morning in your neck of the woods :-> ) I have a question regarding SuSE Linux 7.1+ and APC UPS'. I have already downloaded and installed the version for SuSE from APC's website, but it looks like a port of the Caldera build, and as you all know, SuSE and Caldera are unalike. I have sent numerous e-mails to APC, with guarantees of them getting back to me within 24 hours, but they have not responded... Not even once... :-( So, I'd like to ask all of you that are using APC UPS'. Are you using the PowerChute software, and if so, how did you hack it up to work? If not, what software are you using? Any help will be greatly appreciated... Thanks :-) ============================================ Drew J.

Python is slow on SuSE 8.2 vs other OS's
by rob 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

I benchmarked Python on SuSE 8.2 as I normally do with a new OS on my laptop. My somnec.py routine runs at 450sec on 8.2, vs. 300 sec on FreeBSD, vs. 250 sec on Windows. I have a 1Ghz P4 on a Vaio FX290. Somnec is a routine which mainly eats up cpu time doing variable width Romberg integration. I am wondering if there is a way to compile Python from SRPM and then give it compiler flags like -O2 -march=pentiumpro? I've never done that before so maybe I will RTFM :) On FreeBSD I just put make.conf into /etc. Is there an equivalent for Linux? Thanks, Rob. -- ------------------------- Numeric Python EM Project www.pythonemproject.com
