Re: [SLE] leaving mail on the isp

Thanks for the information. Never understood what is doing what with mail. Thought that Kmail was responsible for everything. I do not know what program is actual fetching the mail via pop from my ISP. Cannot remember when installing the 8.1 from the cd if a program for fetching mail was to be configured. How can I find what program is doing the job. Looked without result through the configs and other files (ran sido etc.). >* Constant Brouerius van Nidek (constant(a)indo.net.id) >[030430 12:29]: >> Since running postfix email is downloaded on my >computer >> but is also removed from my isp account. >It sounds like you are getting your mail via pop or imap >from your >ISP.

Papaya again
by James Ogley 01 May '03

01 May '03

Twice in one day? What gives? Well, I've put new Papaya packages up on www.usr-local-bin.org for two reasons. * I've updated to today's CVS, the snapshot I uploaded earlier was nearly a month old * I've included a plugins package, Papaya comes with a whole bunch of plugins to extend it's functionality, everything from MudFTP to Speedwalking (which really is very naughty...) It's getting close to a 0.98 release, so enjoy! -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james(a)rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter(a)myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org

Rubber Turnip Evolution - AvantGo and Memo conduits?
by Preston Crawford 01 May '03

01 May '03

I know I sound like a broken record, still asking for the AvantGo and Memo conduits for gnome-pilot, but I went to James' site (rubberturnip) and saw that he had new evolution RPMs. I was wondering if someone (maybe james) could comment on whether these missing conduits are in the evolution-pilot rpm.

network packet origin ( ? OT ? 8.2 )
by Francesco Scaglioni 01 May '03

01 May '03

Hi, Since instaled 8.2 ( replace 8.0 ) my network monitor suggests that something is delivering little bursts of about 20k to my machine from somewhere on the network. How can I tell is this is an issue withthe way that 8.2 detected the internal eth0 on this laptop or if they are from another host how do I go about finding which one? TIA Francesco

SuSE 8.2 / Firewall / DHCPD not giving IP's
by John Birkhead 01 May '03

01 May '03

Hi, I am building a firewall system for my DSL connection at home. I have taken 8.2 and setup SuSE Firewall2 on the system (pretty much blocking everything from the outside and doing masquerading for the internal network. I notice that if I set eth1 to be the internal interface in the firewall IP addresses are not issued to clients. If I reverse this in the firewall all works well. Is there any way to have DHCPD listen on eth1 instead? Thanks, John

re[2]: [SLE] [OT] SCO after SuSE and Redhat

SCO Unix is unimportant. You left out Unixware. It is a critical part of the picture. I have forgotten the details, but SCO bought Unixware from somewhere. Unixware was the official UNIX Sys 5 rel 4 release and when SCO bought it, they bought all sorts of IP. >> Unix was certainly developed at AT&T's Bell Labs by Ken Thompson kind of >> as a small Multics.

initrd question
by jrn＠oregonhanggliding.com 01 May '03

01 May '03

Hello all: I would like to know how to go about creating a custom initrd that is exactly what the current /boot/initrd is but with the 3ware raid card driver added so that I can build a kernel with the 3Ware driver as a module and not get a kernel panic unable to mount root. I assume that I would use the mkinitrd command but I am unsure how to do it. What happens when I boot a kernel that has the 3Ware driver in the kernel and the initrd has the 3ware module builtin? The reason I ask is that my current kernel has the 3ware driver built in and I tried to build a kernel with the 3ware driver as a module, but it failed to mount root. Can a system have more than one initrd for a couple different kernels? Thanks, Jim
