Stupid question time. I could not find anything related in the FAQ or the
hardware database online.
Is the 128G (or 137G if you count like a hard drive manufacturer) ATA hard
drive limitation a problem with the interface hardware or the software
driver?
So, if I get a 250G hard drive can I expect SuSE 9.2 to be able to use all of
it?
On the assumption this is an interface problem is there a list of supported
ATA interfaces/chipsets that SuSE 9.2 can use?
Thanks

I have been asked by my boss to firewall a server that we have down in
a datacentre, but I am a bit lost as to where to start.
I have looked on the internet for sample scripts but they all seem to
be related to people running NAT based firewalls. I simply need a
script that will restrict access to certain ports and services, and
block everything else.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some sample scripts that I can
look at to learn / adapt to my use ?
Thanks

About eight months ago I installed SuSE 9.0 Pro on a friend's XP
machine on a newly added hard drive as dual boot, with linux default.
My friend is *not* what you would call computer literate. I directed
him to some beginning linux courses on the web and gave him my 9.0
manuals to read/referrrence. He has slowly become about 75 per cent
linux user, booting windoz only for streaming media that we cannot
seem to make work in linux.
A couple of days ago, he booted windoz for an hour and returned to
linux to find that he could not access the net. Previous he had had
no problems accessing his cable connection thru a router.
I ran ifconfig and it only showed lo, so I ran 'rcnetwork start' and
ifconfig showed lo and eth0. Access to the net was restored.
I ran yast2 to check that network was enabled in runlevels 2,3,5. It
was.
Rebooted to see if the network would start normally and again, the
network did not start. rcnetwork start restored net access.
Knoppix and the SuSE 9.2 Live CD both provide net access w/o user
intervention. I do not know what else to check, suggestions welcome.

I always tell myself that I need to write down how I solve this problem twice a
year, but I either lose what I wrote or I just forget.
I run an ntp server for the pc's connected to my home network.
When daylight savings times rolls around I get errors about too large a
difference to change the time. How would I fix this?
The best I can remember was I had to reboot the server and go into CMOS to
change the time.
Thanks.

Hi,
Has anyone enough experience with burning DVDs on Linux to tell us if there is
anything like Burnatonce for us. I have used Burnatonce on XP with CDs but
have never used it for DVDs. I note that burnatonce used a "plugin" called
ProDVD which requires a Free Non-Commercial Lic key from Frauhofer.
I would love to hear your sucess stories about writing and copying DVDs.

Please confirm:
0 status in boot log means success and the deamon is actually running? In other words there is no reasons to expect it to stop running? If so they why would the deamon not show up on a "ps -A" unless it has stopped running? I have this happen with portmap.
Would it be correct to assume that if "ps -A" cannot see the deamon running then it is NOT running? I have this happen with portmap.
1 status is a failure to run because of a dependecny failure. I have this happen with processes that portmap works with such as ypserv, ypbind, nfsserver, etc., and this results in failed servcies (nfs, smbfs, autofs all of which require portmap) in runlevel 5.
6 status is failure of the deamon to execute
I don't know the others (2,3,4,5, and 7)
The comments in the config files provide a short definition for status values and I assume they apply universally?

I am trying to change which server is used by xntp to get time.
in my /etc/ntp.conf I have changed the following lines:
##
## Outside source of synchronized time
##
## server xx.xx.xx.xx # IP address of server
server ntp-uh.usno.navy.mil
TO:
##
## Outside source of synchronized time
##
## server xx.xx.xx.xx # IP address of server
server now.cis.okstate.edu
BUT, when I try to do a restart on xntp it is still trying to use the old
server:
# ./xntpd stop
Shutting network time protocol daemon (NTPD)
done
# ./xntpd start
Try to get initial date and time via NTP from ntp-uh.usno.navy.milError : Name
or service not known
failed
Starting network time protocol daemon (NTPD)
done
Anyone know how to make this use the new server for time/date lookup????
BTW, I have also tried with the I.P. address of the new server and that
doesn't work either.
Thanks,
Darrell
This week I had reason to fire up a few old 486's that were running SuSE
6.3. Both failed loading ne.o.
Using /lib/modules/2.2.13/net/ne.o
/lib/modules/2.2.13/net/ne.o: unresolved symbol ei_open
/lib/modules/2.2.13/net/ne.o: unresolved symbol ethdev_init
/lib/modules/2.2.13/net/ne.o: unresolved symbol ei_interrupt
/lib/modules/2.2.13/net/ne.o: unresolved symbol NS8390_init
/lib/modules/2.2.13/net/ne.o: unresolved symbol ei_close
I found an post from 1999 to this list but there was no reply.
modprobe ne gives me
init_module: Device or resource busy
Looking at the logs both machine booted fine when they were put away.
They both have the DE250 network card.
any ideas?

Hopefully 9.2 will show up on my doorstep in a few days.
If I have two printers installed, will it find both of them?
(They will both be on LPT ports.) If it will not, I will
disconnect the color printer aned leave the Laserjet.
The color printer is manually shared at present with another
old computer, and is not always connected to this one that
I will put 9.2 on.
