Problem with Synaptic
by Tom Nielsen 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

I tried updating Synaptic and got an error during download of updates (sorry, I can't remember what it was), but now I can't even start Synaptic. I keep getting the following errors.... could not open RPM package list file /var/state/apt/lists/ftp.gwdg.de_pub_linux_suse_apt_SuSE_8.0-i386_base_pkglist.packman-i386: Problem opening /var/state/apt/lists/ftp.gwdg.de_pub_linux_suse_apt_SuSE_8.0-i386_base_pkglist.packman-i386 The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. This happened to me once before and the solution made me thump my head. I just can't remember it. Thanks, Tom --- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems, Inc. 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

8.1 YaST2 files location
by Donn aka N5XWB 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

Hey Group: Last night I was helping a guy with SuSE8 try and make YaST2 find a video driver which was in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers (as I remember). The module_old.o was placed in that directory by a SuSE RPM. Problem is that YaST2 knowledge of this module doesn't find it. Therefore, it is not able to be istalled via YaST nor does YaST2 offer it as a NEW selection. Where is it that YaST2 hides its config scripts or where is it set (/etc/modules.conf?) for that module to be loaded. He has a miserable S3 pci LO memory video card. He is currently using standard VGA 16b color. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb(a)hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.com

I think it revolves around the fact the the patch file looks for a/arch/i386/config.in or b/arch/i386/config.in. Both the 'a' and 'b' do not exist in the SuSE file hierarchy and this is what is causing confusion from my side. The patch must be correct because these patches are heavily relied upon and the problem would have been highlighted immediately. thanks Gedi

Repost: Email Question
by Ahbaid Gaffoor 27 Feb '03

Hello all, (I'm reposting this, I really need your thoughts and suggestions please) I have an AT&T Cable Modem and have regsitered a domain name against the IP address I use. Within my network of three machines I have DNS set up with forwarding. This way I can use my local network machine names and still resolve beyond my network. This all works. If my domain is abc123.com I would like to be able to do the following: 1) Setup a POP server on one of my SuSE boxes. 2) Be able to setup email so that I can send and receive emails to and from ahbaidg(a)abc123.com both inside and outside my network. 3) Be able to setup <person>@abc123.com as needed An nslookup against abc123.com gives my AT&T assigned IP, however a reverse lookup on the IP gives the AT&T name against the IP. My questions are: a) What would be the best way to set this up? b) What should I use to accomplish this? c) Is this documented somewhere out there? Many many thanks. Ahbaid.

Hello i have a SUSE Database Server with ibm DB2 product. I've installed the Product and all seems good.. the i've tryed to install the fixpax 7.1.3 bundled with the SUSE box..following these instructions: Logon as root and do the following for each instance: su - ioname . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile db2 force applications all db2 terminate db2stop db2licd end # run at each physical node exit where ioname is the instance owner name. Then, while still logged on as root, do the following: su - aname . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile db2admin stop exit where aname is the admin server name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.3 Installation Instructions To install the FixPak: su - root cd <patchespath> ./installpatch But i get some error dependencies and, at the end, if i make a rpm -qa | grep db2 the Db2 Serve seems not to be updated db2cliv71-7.1.0-10 which is the version without fixpack. Any tips? Is there anybody here that have already performed taht operation Thanks

pam su question [pam_rootok]
by Berge, Harry ten 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

Hi, I have a question regarding pam security/authentication: We have a target system which have another su password than our productions systems. However, using NIS it's possible to login with your private account on the target system. The home directories are mounted using NFS. But, when I now know the su password on the target system I have access to everybodies home directory using the 'su - somebody'. And this must not be possible! I have removed the 'pam_rootok' line from '/etc/pam.d/su', but this doesn't help. If I'm already su, I can become everybody without password authentication! This is default behaviour on SuSE, but it's *NOT* on Unix/Solaris. We want it to behave exactly as on Unix/Solaris... Can someone help me to fix this? > Met vriendelijke groet / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards, > H.J. ten Berge Test Engineer HITT Traffic Oude Apeldoornseweg 41-45 P.O.
