Proxy settings in 8.2 and Win2000 network
by David Robertson 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

I'd be grateful if someone could help me out here. I'm currently in Qatar on business, working in a hospital that runs a Windows 2000 network. I can have access to this, have a username and password, and the IT dept set up the Windows XP Pro installation on my laptop to use the proxy server on port 8080. I can surf the web from Windows OK but can't access my pop3 mail. I dual boot the laptop with 8.2, though and would prefer to use that. I have set up the NIC (DHCP) and proxy settings in YaST with the same settings as in Windows, but I can't access the internet. I have also set up the proxy in the browser (tried konqueror and mozilla). Despite specifying that konqueror should ask for a username/password as needed, it doesn't. I just get an error message, saying connection refused, authorisation error. What am I missing here in terms of set up? The IT dept can't help me - they don't know either and aren't familiar with Linux. Many thanks David -- Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes

RE: [SLE] SCO Owns Your Computer(OT)

Interesting to note that System V was originally tainted by FreeBSD code, I just wonder if Caldera/SCO cut & pasted Linux code into System V? A lot of the functionality that they claim linux stole from System V, System V did not have in the first place. Remember, it used to be just a single Intel processor unix system.

Now it is getting to be interesting... SCO Group on Monday said it revoked IBM's license to sell its version of Unix, called AIX, and requested that a judge permanently block IBM's Unix business. http://news.com.com/2100-1016_3- 1017719.html?type=pt&part=rss&tag=feed&subj=news Avi

AutoFS and Zip Drive
by Vincent Colombo 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

Hello, I'm trying to set up autofs to handle mounting of all my drives. I have it working for the most part. My issue right now is that it doesn't allow writing to my Zip drive. I had the same issue with my floppy but I decided just to get rid of my floppy, I don't really use it anyway. Right now my auto.master file contains: /media /etc/auto.media --timeout 1 /windows /etc/auto.windows --timeout 60 And my auto.media file contains: cdrecorder -fstype=auto,ro,user,exec :/dev/cdrecorder dvd -fstype=auto,ro,user,exec :/dev/dvd zip -fstype=auto,user :/dev/hdg4 I took the options for the Zip drive from the fstab file generated by the installation. It automounts file when I enter the directory, it just won't let me write to it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Vincent

Installation source cannot be set
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

Do not know why but after some changes I had made and some which I had to make I am in a mess with my SuSe 8.1. I had to change my video card and am not yet back in KDE. I was missing some programs and thought it a good idea to do that in console. Going into Yast I went to the software part and wanted to download some software from my cdrom. It did not work and after looking into the source of installation I found that there was no source mentioned. Simply adding did not work because Yast protested with an error and said it could not mount my cdrom. I would like to force an input but have no idea where this information is stored. Where is the file with the info and what should be written in it? -- " Every little BYTE helps " NTReader v0.36w(P)/Beta (Registered) in conjunction with Net-Tamer.
