by Steven T. Hatton 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

Anyone else having trouble? This is serious. If lost a good number of my fonts, and many apps are virtually useless. I may have to roll back until they get this fixed. I need to know whether it's just me, so I know if I sould report the problem. STH

Are really nice. They finally found a keeper. Until now, that was one of the first things I changed. Looks great with BlueSlate, or whatever this color scheme is called. STH

8.2 pre-order

Is now available on the SUSE.COM site. I think they screwed up the pricing because both PRO and the PRO upgrade are priced at $79.95. Free SuSE T-shirts with your order! -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

re[2]: [SLE] Linux / OpenSource ISP

>> That seems really high. I think we pay about $500/month for our PRI >> and about $300/month for the data T1. The PRI has 23 64K channels. >> -- >> -ckm That's a great deal on a PRI, unless you have per minute costs on top of that. I live in Atlanta, and IIRC a voice T1 is $500/month + $70/channel/month. Thats $500 + 24 * 70 or about $2K/month, but there are no per call charges. When I was working with an ISP, we bought "metered T1s". They were about 50% of the above, but each out-going call was $0.15. It was fine for us because we never called out, but I don't know how common that kind of service is. Greg -- Greg Freemyer

kde 3.1.1 for 8.0

Something I just noticed that KDE 3.1.1 has been posted for 8.0 if anyone wants it. It's on the mirrors so apt should work for it. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.

Mail server in front of another mail server
by Ronald Wiplinger 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

Unfortunately I cannot just say: remove M$ mail exchange and install a SuSE mailbox instead, since M$ has still some advantages for internal use! We would like therefore slowly go over to the new system by leaving the old system untouched. My solution would be: Mailserver mail.* gets all the mails, and use all tricks, like white listing, rbl, ... virus scan and forward than all messages to mail-internal.* (which is this unavoidable M$ box). How can I setup that all incoming mails are after proceeding forwarded to mail-internal? How can I make all outgoing emails going through mail.*, so that the header would be tagged and replies would go through? Third, I need to make the webinterface available of the Internal mailserver, this I will do by DNAT and use a port 8000 which will be forwarded to port 80 on the internal machine. Even through this way the mails must go through the mailgateway mail.* Does anybody has good starting points for this project? bye Ronald -- Ronald Wiplinger (CEO of ELMIT) http://www.elmit.com +886 (0) 915 653-452 - I'm a SpamCon Foundation Member, #694, Verify it at http://www.spamcon.org PS: Spam prevention!

Is there a howto for building a source rpm?
by Greg Freemyer 28 Mar '03

28 Mar '03

Gurus, Is there a HowTo that explains how to compile a *.src.rpm from the SuSE CDs and get an exact duplicate of what SuSE provides? I just tried to rebuild and install the shadow package, and the end result was a non-functioning server. (No big issue, it was a lab/test server.) === What I tried: rpm --rebuild shadow-4.0.2-47.src.rpm (copied from CD 7 of SuSE 8.0) cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCE tar xjf shadow-4.0.2.tar.bz2 (created by rpm above) cd shadow-4.0.2 ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr (from shadow.spec) make make install === As I said, everything seemed to work, but when I rebooted I ended up with / mounted readonly!! and KDE did not start up. I remounted / read/write and used Yast2 to re-install shadow. Now everything is fine, but I still want to know how to do this. Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer

I have had to recover my LVM config several times, but I have never lost any data. The LVM config file backups are stored in /etc/lvmconf. Also vgcfgrestore is your friend and it lives in /sbin. So I would just ensure that /etc and /sbin are not on a LVM disk. BTW: LVM1 is deprecated in the 2.5.x kernels, so everyone will have to upgrade to LVM2. I know LVM2 can use LVM1 LVs, but I don't know if a LVM1 LV can be converted to LVM2. Does anybody know? Greg -- Greg Freemyer
