Two USB questions
by Ronald Wiplinger 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

I got a lots of USB questions, but first just two ;-). Please guide me to the right web sites ;-) 1. Is it possible to boot from USB? If so, boot rom from an Ethernet card can be also a floppy, ... can we make it as an USB memory stick ??? 2. I need the USB port from a remote machine mapped to my machine. E.g., machine A, the server would like to use the USB port of the client (memory stick, audio, video, keyboard) bye Ronald

Want to fax from a modem on a Windows Network box...(how good are you?)
by Tom Nielsen 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

Before I switched over to Linux I was using W2k and Winfax. The modem is located on the W2k Server and is utilized by other people as well for the same reason. I want to be able to fax from Suse thru the W2k server's modem. Is this possible? Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

Compiling openssh 3.4
by Fergus Wilde 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

Hi all, Those who have looked at http://www.openssh.com recently will have noticed that openssh3.4p1 is out (replacing the very recent openssh 3.3). I am trying to compile it on suse 7.3 and not getting anywhere, it craps out with: configure: error: *** Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto (see config.log for details) *** So: grep ssl config.log $ ./configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/lib configure:8200: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wno-uninitialized -I/usr/local/ssl/include -L/usr/local/ssl/lib conftest.c -lutil -lz -lnsl -lcrypto >&5 pc11:/home/fergus/openssh-3.4p1 # grep libcrypto config.log configure:8219: error: *** Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto (see config.log for details) *** # find / -name libcrypto* /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0 It makes no difference where you tell it to look for ssl, nor does the version of ssl seem to matter. I am having the same problems compiling on Solaris 8, and so are many others, though some manage, and Solaris 7 seems fine. Anyone know why it can't find libcrypto, and better still how to make it do so? Best Fergus

CrossOver evaluation.
by Fred A. Miller 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm testing CrossOver Office. So far, the only app. it WILL work with (NO errors yet) is MickySoft Office97. FileMaker, which MUST be useable here (and they haven't got it through their pointed heads to port it yet) won't install. I'll be testing with other software at home tonight and will post what I find. IF there's a need to run Office95, 97, or 2000 (Off. XP's not supported yet), then CO Off. makes it VERY easy to do so. Personally, I MUCH prefer StarOffice 6.0. I've tried to do the same with Wine and couldn't get Off. 97 to install. Fred - -- Fred A. Miller Systems Administrator Cornell Univ.

RE: [SLE] Mac address

How can I tell if a process is dead ? Reason being that I started yast1 todo an update of my server and it did start doing this but now it has been applying groff.rpm For about 17 minutes. I've checked in top and the rpm process cpu is at 99.9 %? What should I do, Kill the Yast1 and start again or just keeping waiting...? Luck is my game ;-) Dre :) tia -----Original Message----- From: Prengel, Ralf [mailto:ralf.prengel@comline.de] Sent: 27 June 2002 13:42 To: 'arawak' Subject: AW: [SLE] Mac address > How do I do an update from 7.1 from the command line ? > > I'm not using X to use You. > > Reg'ds > > Dre :) tia ftp.gwdg.de download all files you need next rpm -F --verbose or use yast1 to install the packages Suse changed very importend parts of the configuration between 7.1 and 8.0. So it s really possible that the update causes problems.

Using a postgresql database help please!
by Scott Nichols 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

Hello all, I have a program called muwed and it is a php script that works in Apache to share mp3's or just to use locally with irmp3. I have irmp3 working and I have apache following symlinks with no problem to my files but my problem is that I start the postgesql and it starts with no problem but when I try to do a query with this interface I get the error that it can't connect to the database. Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host XP19 and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? I also try to start the postmaster and it can't find the database and gives me the error: postmaster postmaster does not know where to find the database system data. You must specify the directory that contains the database system either by specifying the -D invocation option or by setting the PGDATA environment variable. Now the questions: 1. Where the hell is this Db located? I can't find that anywhere on my system? It was created with a script from the program and I know its somewhere because I tried to create again and I got an already exists error. 2. What do I have to put where to get this thing to work and connect locally to use the Db? I think it has something to do with the postmaster but I don't know for sure. 3. How can I configure Apache to only accept local connections? I'm using SuSE 8.0 with the default config. Thanks in advance for any help, Scott
