Question about specific desktop/window manager/style/theme used in snapshot
by Bob Pearson 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

I found this today looking at skins for mplayer 1.0pre. I tried to contact the skin's owner but his mailbox is full. Does anyone know what desktop/window manager this is? What style or theme? Is it stable? I think it might be gnome (1.x or 2.0?) with Enlightenment but I am unsure. Any help would be appreciated. I tried to include the file as an attachment but it was too big and bounced. Here is the URL: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/images/skin-cyrus-shot01.jpg Regards, Bob Pearson -- I am unique and special, just like everyone else.

I found out that all I did was putting the right arguments in /etc/sysconfig/hardwareDEVICES_FORCE_IDE_DMA="/dev/hda:on /dev/dvd:on" as you suggested before , and it all, including the dvd, works at start up.

SuSe 8.2 and Netlock VPN installation
by bob mike 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

I am trying to connect to my companies VPN network with no luck. Netlock does not offically support SuSe, but does support Redhat 8.0. I performed a test install of Redhat 9.0 and the Netlock VPN client on a machine. I was able to connect sucessfully to the network. On SUSE 8.2, the software installs correctly and loads the kernel modules properly. I can connect to the VPN network, but cannot ping any devices on the other side. I have removed the SuSeFirewall2 software and checked everything I know. Once connected to the VPN a netstat -nr is virtually identical between the Redhat and SuSe boxes. Also netstat -vat greping for the ports and IP's in question are also the same. The only strange behavior I have notices is from time to time , root gets the following message. Kernel IP routing table -bash: Kernel: command not found There is nothing in the message log about this. I also removed the patched kernel and sources, then re-installed them the originals from the CD. Thanks

Virus and IMAP on Linux?
by jrn＠oregonhanggliding.com 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hello everybody, I run a postfix/Cyrus IMAP mail server and a webmail program called V-Webmail which is a typical web mail interface program that speaks IMAP. Some of my users, who should only by accessing their mail via the IMAP web interface appear to be getting bounces indicating that they are sending out the virus messages, you know, the ones with the *.pif file and subject lines of "Thank You!" and "My Details" etc. Obviously, these mails are being forged. Question is, does anybody know if IMAP users are vulnerable to this thing? I do have a user who may have accessed his mail via POP and Outlook Express. I'm guessing that may be how this starting. The virus was able to get his addressbook. ?? Also, anybody know how one might go about stopping the forged mails? What little I know about this stuff, I'd think not.. but then again I don't know.. :-) -Jim-

BlackDown Package Missing from 8.2 Personal?
by david.a.gannon＠iwd.state.ia.us 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

According to the Suse 8.2 Personal package list ( found at http://www.suse.de/us/private/products/suse_linux/i386/packages_personal/in… ), BlackDown is supposed to be there. But I am unable to find this package at every one of the Suse ftp sites I've tried (including ftp.suse.com!) Also, the Sun java package is nowhere to be found either. Does anyone know what the story is here? Or am I missing something somewhere? It seems kind of silly to include so many packages that require a JRE (i.e. tomcat) without including a JRE package.
