process -:0 - is it a virus?
by Carlos 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

I am running SuSE 8.1 as an internet gateway for a small network. Recently I've noticed an increased activity on hard disk access on this server which stops when I kill process -:0, which is started by /opt/kde3/bin/kdm. I do not really know what -:0 does but I haven't had any problems killing it. My question is: is this a valid process and then what does it do? Thanks, Carlos

WBMP & The Gimp
by Olipro 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

I know there is a WBMP plugin available, but I cannot find it on the registry site as it does appear to be removed, is there a package I can install to provide? I have the GTK+ libraries installed but nothing. I'm hoping there's a YaST2 Package, if not, does someone know a place I can get it? --------------------------------- Olipro - GTA Global <Olipro(a)GTAGlobal.net>

GnuCash
by James Ogley 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

Removed from www.usr-local-bin.org today: * GnuCash - Personal finance software After cooperation with the PackMan team, I have removed my GnuCash packages in favour of the packages hosted on their site. The specifications have been merged to ensure GNOME integration of the standard that ULB users have come to expect with the maintenance of the more obscure libraries that GnuCash uses that PackMan provide. This will make life easier, especially for people using APT :) James -- 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

Rejecting email with attachs
by Carlos E. R. 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

Hi, I'm getting an increasing number of spams with attachments that have the .pif extensions. I know they can not harm me (not in Linux), but I would like somehow to not download them (they are a 100 Kbytes each). I'm using fetchmail, postfix, procmail, spamassassin and AMaViS (which doesn't detect them, by the way). All of it from the default SuSE 8.2 with you patches. I'm thinking, perhaps, of some thing in /etc/postfix/header_checks, or something else perhaps. It is only needed for one address. I think it has beeing commented here, but I can not remember it now. Perhaps I'm tired tonight :-) [...] It is even worse. Now I'm getting autoresponses form postmasters. One complains that I sent a subscriber the virus "W32/Sobig.f@MM" - which I didn't, the headers returned says I used outlook X-) . Another postmaster autoreject complains that the recipient box is full - and returns to me the 100Kb attachment. Heck. Who configured that, I wonder? Have a look: X-MailScanner: Found to be clean <----------------- Ha, jeh! X-) Importance: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Grub help...need to change from hda to sda
by Tom Nielsen 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

I've just installed a 3ware raid card, copied, via dd, an old IDE drive to a new drive attached to the raid card and now need to know how to change grub to point to the new drive. Here's what my current grub.conf says on the new drive: root (hd0,1) install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst quit I believe I should change the hd0 to sd0....correct? Once I do that, do I need to do something else to get it to setup properly? I changed my fstab already on the new drive. Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

SuSEfirewall2 and NFS mounts
by eddie 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

Hi All, Just wondered anyone had any thoughts on how to use of SuSEfirewall with drives mounted using NFS. My experience is that once the firewall is activated I am unable to mount my home area and other exported drives. I am basically configuring the firewall through yast with the option to protect against internal networks unselected. Thanks Eddie

Problems with getting scsi to detect with 3ware raid card
by Tom Nielsen 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

I bought a 3ware 7000-2 raid card and I'm trying to setup raid 1. I bought a new drive to match my existing drive. Tonight I dd my existing drive to my new drive. I managed to boot the new drive from my IDE port just fine (taking into account I removed my existing drive first). My problem is that I can't get the new drive to be seen my Suse 8.2 thru my 3ware card. I connect my old drive to IDE1 and connect my new drive to my raid card on slot 0. My raid card is picked up and I can see a drive on it during boot, but I can't access it once I'm logged in. I haven't made any entries to my fstab so there are no sda devices listed. I think this is my problem. What entry should I make into my fstab so that I can see the drive? Currently I have /dev/hdc1 and /dev/hdc2 from which I boot off of. One more thing, I get the following error during the boot process: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno=2 Does that mean anything? Thanks, Tom

Any way to do Linux User home directories via Samba
by Jason Joines 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

All of our user authentication is done via LDAP. We have an all Linux backend and tons of windows desktops. We've just started getting a few people to move to Linux on the desktop. Is there any way that I can have their home directory automatically mounted via Samba when they log in? Thanks, Jason Joines Open Source = Open Mind ========================
