Anyone know why the only devel package was excluded from 9.2 or if there is one available for 9.2 somewhere? Regards Mark

Messages sent with header only, SYSERR(root): readqf: cannot open
by Dawson, Alan 24 Nov '04

Hi I'm using a fully fou4s patched SuSE 9.0 email server running the standard Sendmail 8.12.10/8.12.10/SuSE Linux 0.7 I'm seeing a few messages that seem to get sent twice, the first time with only the header, then the full message later. /var/log/mail shows entries like Nov 22 12:20:28 charon sendmail[16998]: iAMCKBqG016952: SYSERR(root): readqf: cannot open ./dfiAMCKBqG016952: No such file or directory I've googled for this and found http://www.talkroot.com/archivee/index.php/t-3023__SYSERR(root):_readqf:_can _not_open.html and http://www.mailarchive.ca/lists/comp.mail.sendmail//2003-05/0214.html I'm using MailScanner (http://www.mailscanner.info ) to scan for spam and viruses and it mentions that there may be file locking issues for sendmail 8.13 and posix locking is required Does anybody know if SuSE sendmail has been patched to require posix locking ?

Ethernetcards switching id
by Dan Am 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Hi all, following scenario: I am installing 9.1 via a dhcp/tftp setup. Boot works alright with dhcp request going out thru the installed 3com gigabit card. Kernel boots and suddenly recognizes onboard 100mbit card as eth0 and tries to obtain another ip-address. Normally I would edit /etc/modprobe.conf, but on an install system ? Anyone have anthing on that ? TIA/Regards Dan

But I doubt it would have helped on my machine anyway, because it still could not reliably read the double layer DVD. In fact when the fan came on while reading the third CD it hung solid, and I had to power it off and reboot to continue the install. I am in the process of verifying that the install was totally successful (looks good so far). (9.1, 9.0 and several 8.*'s installed from the DVD and worked great on that computer (including acpi on 9.0)).

Spitting out CD drive
by John Pettigrew 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Having updated my SUSE 9.1 system using YOU yesterday, my PC keeps spitting out the drawer of the CD recorder every couple of minutes. It's not done this before - does anyone know what might be causing this, because it's rather irritating! It started after the update (I rebooted straight after the update because there was a kernel update) and carries on today after another reboot (overnight).

Re: [SLE] Apache, httpd.conf and SuSE 9.2
by Ron Brown 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

FWIW I have several "default" installs of several distro's on my desk.. ALL flavors inclue Apache 2 SuSE's httpd.conf file is (annoyingly) fragmented Debian's httpd.conf file is (far less) fragemented RedHat's httpd.conf file is not.. Gentoo's httpd.conf file is not.. Seems to me that this indicates the config file format differences are distro specific, not Apache version specific. My personal preference is the single config file, but I certainly appreciate that the other are that way for a reason. Ron --- My comments and opinions are generally non-conformist in nature.

You really need a deep look into the apache documentation for both apache 1.3 and apache 2.0. You need to understand that this is no *fault* from suse, nor a bug or a *feature* that the httpd.conf is different from what you knew on suse 9.0. It is simply apache2 and *exactly* that is the way httpd.conf should look. If you dislike apache2 for the way it handles configuration, you are free to install binaries/whatever for apache 1.3.x and play with the httpd.conf you are used with. But please understand that SuSE is just trying to offer you the latest releases and they are not inventing configuration files for most common services. Learn it or change it to something you know, but don't blame suse for trying to give you latest stuff.
