Redirect connection to another IP Address
by Adam Leach 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hi, I've still got this spammer trying to use my machine to send Spam. My ISP (NTLWorld) seem either over worked, or isn't going to take any action. So how can I redirect any connections to port 25 from a specific ip address to connect to another ip address. Basically I would like to redirect all the connections back to the spammers machine if possible. Is this possible, or could this cause more problems. Regards Adam

SuSE couldn't find all .mp3 and .ogg files...
by Chun Ki Shin 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

hi, all... Well, I don't know why.....but, SuSE doesn't detect all .mp3 and .ogg files in Windows drives. Yes, one folder just shows 6 files out of 12 and some folders show nothing even though I played all in Windows. How can I fix this...?

URGENTLY NEED HELP - Postfix and spam
by Adam Leach 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

I've just noticed in the last two days something has gone horribly wrong with Postfix on SuSE 8.1. My machine has got a massive queue of emails that it is attempting to send to AOL customers that I never sent myself. AOL is refusing connections, so these emails are sitting in the queue. I've just quickly done a few mail relay tests and all passed. Now I'm not sure if it is due to the Spammer being on the same ISP as myself or due to some other problem with Postfix. His ip address is very close to mine Spammer = 81.99.191.26 & Mine = 81.99.191.*** I had configured it to "Soft Bounce" emails as I've been testing a few things. How can I remove all these emails from the queue, as it is sending hundreds of requests to AOLs mail servers, and this is probably not a good idea. I've disabled postfix with rcpostfix stop, but what do I do now. Please help Adam

Raid 1 on SuSE 7.2
by Chris Roubekas 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Dear friends, I have recently setup a SuSE 7.2 box with 3 hard disks: 1) 6GB With SuSE 7.2 (Disk0) 2) 200 GB Empty Disk (Disk1) 3) 200 GB Empty Disk (Disk2) I have installed SuSE of Disk0. Have created my raidtab file in /etc/raidtab with all the necessary information to create the raid array. Raidtab looks like this: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 chunk-size 4 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/hdb raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc raid-disk 1 Have created /dev/md0 with Raid 1 and the sync has finished after about 21 hours. I have formated md0 with the Normal option that Yast gave me and have directed yast to mount this array on /data which I have created. When i reboot the machine, it stops and tells me to enter the system with root password, to run fsck manually and fix any partition problems etc... (I am not at the screen right now). Can Someone tell me a general how-to in order to create this?? I will use this array with Samba and filesharing will be initiated once it is setup properly!! My guide so far has been: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html Can you tell me of something else perhaps that I am missing?? Thank you. Chris

Getting "meld" working, preferaby under KDE
by Michael.James＠csiro.au 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Anyone got meld ( http://meld.sf.net ) working under Suse? It's a tool for merging source trees, or CVS versions. Suse has all the listed dependencies and with a bit of googling I managed to get them up to acceptable versions but still bomb out with a python error. jam176@suse:~/src/meld/meld-0.8.5> ./meld Traceback (most recent call last): File "./meld", line 60, in ? import meldapp File "./meldapp.py", line 28, in ? import gnomeglade File "./gnomeglade.py", line 24, in ? import gnome.ui ImportError: could not import bonobo.ui I'm hearing good things about this package it'd be wonderful to see it on usr-local-bin.
