IMP - Chora - Horde
by Anders Norrbring 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

Hello! Do anyone have any experiences or tips on how to set the combination IMP - Chora - Horde to work as a webmail interface to either SLES or SLOS? In SLOX there's already a webmail included, but I don't think it'll be legal to use it on the other two systems due to licensing. So, I thought that combination could be a nice solution, or can somebody point me to another one? It's absolutely necessary that it connects to Postfix, Cyrus-IMAP and LDAP.

Upgrade to 7.2 to SuSE 8.2
by Alan Dawson 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

Hello, I have a happy server running SuSE 7.2 As that is soon to be unsupported by SuSE, I've purchased a copy of SuSE 8.2, and was hoping to upgrade. The machine runs stock SuSE 7.2 services, except for a custom compiled php 4.2.3 and mailman 2.0.11 Is anybody got any insight into what's going to break when I put the SUSE 8.2 CD in and say yes to an upgrade?

Help with using rpm
by Marius Roets 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

Hi Everybody, I'm an old fashioned type of guy that likes to use the tarball method for making and installing software. I am however slowly coming over to the rpm way of doing things. I like the idea of having a central repository where you can see what you have on your system, and manipulate it from there. The reason I mostly stay away from rpm's is that I don't know how to compile the source versions. I often need to change the configuration before compiling which is traditionally done with options to ./configure. I don't know how to this with rpm. In fact, I know very little about how the source rpm's work, and I haven't been able to find a decent tutorial on this subject. I'd like to know things like how to compile src rpm's, how to change the code, how to change configure options and compiler options etc. Also how does the src rpm relate to binary version. Do you need both, or just one of them. Do they give the same results? Unfortunately, the man pages are not very helpful in this regard and I would appreciate it if somebody can point me to tutorial that can answer these questions. Thanks Marius Roets

SuSE logo case badge
by David Krider 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

I don't know if this is on-topic for the regular SuSE list, but I'm going to risk it. Since SuSE doesn't have a real "branding" program like some other distros, I took the liberty of ganking the start button logo, and gimp'ing it up a little to make a case badge. I ordered these badges from one of the numerous custom case badge processing shops you'll find with Google, but I had bad luck with them this time around, so I won't post which one I used. You can see a preview here: http://www.davidkrider.com/images/suse_badge_closeup.jpg Watch the size on that page. You can see the thumbnails here: http://www.davidkrider.com/computers.html If you like it, you're welcome to gank it from here: http://www.davidkrider.com/images/suse_case_badge.jpg Regards, dk

Re: [SLE] My internal 192.168.x.x IP's cannot see my webserver - Firewall ?

and how should we configure a "split-brain" DNS so the Internal IP addresses are going to be responses only to internal DNS Requests instead of responding with private IP's to external customers ? or... just could we just add a rule to the firewall allowing the internal network to access services on the firewall ?? bye --ed ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Mahmood <ckm(a)suse.com> Date: Monday, July 28, 2003 12:55 pm Subject: Re: [SLE] My internal 192.168.x.x IP's cannot see my webserver - Firewall ? > * Stephen Ridley (sridley99(a)yahoo.co.uk) [030728 11:39]: > > Jul 28 17:36:18 linux kernel: > > SuSE-FW-DROP-ANTI-SPOOFING IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= > > SRC=192.168.0.1 DST=192.168.0.255 LEN=128 TOS=0x00 > > PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=31513 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=1384 > > DPT=111 LEN=108 > > > > message in the logs.

RESMGR question
by Bruce Marshall 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

Someone awhile ago mentioned an entry that needed to be made in /etc/resmgr.conf in order to access digital cameras. I thought I made the entry but it appears not. I've searched the archives but without a search function, it would take forever... Anyone remember the entry needed?

Re: [SLE] SAMBA Problem
by Jeff Bankston 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

I won't disagree with your statement about CIDR, but 255.0.0.0 is the natural mask for the 10. network. Lot's of people lose sight of the fact that you can use any _correct_ mask within a network no problem. I once gave a customer an IP conversion to 10.200.50.xxx since everyone in the world seems to use the 192.168 and 172.16 networks for privates, and the assigned range is perfectly valid using a class C mask, worked fine. For networks not using CIDR or VLSM, just use the correct mask, and you can avoid lot's of connectivity issues provided that you're not using the same IP block as someone else, etc. -Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Cunning" <jcunning(a)cts.com> Newsgroups: Suse.Linux-e To: <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 3:58 PM Subject: Re: [SLE] SAMBA Problem > Monday, Jul 28 at 11:26am, Thomas Jones wrote: > > > On Monday 28 July 2003 07:08, Stephen P.

SuSE V8.0 & Java
by John 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

I have been using SuSE V8.0 and updating using Apt-Get. Since upgrading to KDE V3.1.2 and using Konqueror V 3.1.2 I have had some problems with some sites with Java applets, eg. www.dslreports.com if I try to do a speed test, the web site shows a box on my window with "loading applet" and the instruction to click start. Presently the applet does nothing and so I can't start the test. I seem to have a problem with my Java installation and so have tried to remove all versions that I could find and have re-installed the SunJava2- 1.4.1. 1. Is the SunJava2 the preferred Java? Or should I be using another version or release? 2. To ensure Konqueror can use Java can someone point me to a doc on the correct way to set it up? (I appear to have lost my way in fiddling with Konqueror settings.) Thanks for any advice.
