KLIPS (freeswan) in SUSE 9.0
by Silviu Marin-Caea 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

On SUSE 9.0 if I run /usr/lib/ipsec/verify Checking your system to see if IPsec was installed and started correctly Version check and ipsec on-path [OK] Checking for KLIPS support in kernel [FAILED] Checking for RSA private key (/etc/ipsec.secrets) [OK] Checking that pluto is running [OK] DNS checks. Looking for forward key for router-d4b [FAILED] Looking for TXT in reverse map: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa[FAILED] Does the machine have at least one non-private address [OK] It displays KLIPS support failed. What does that mean? Doesn't SUSE 9.0 have all that's needed for IPSEC? Do I need to recompile something? Thanks

Language Support in SuSE
by Laurenz, Dirk 03 Nov '04

Hello, i have the following Problem connecting a samba instance to an german windows domain. This is not a samba problem so far, i found out. If a user access a file via an smb share where he's not the owner, the samba directive dos filetimes allows him to reset the date. This works fine, if the primery group of the user has no german characters (e.g. ä,ö,ü). If the primary group has those, this doesn't work. (e.g. the primary group is: Domänen-Benutzer) mapped via winbind. I found out, that via strace the smbd process calls the utime function: 08:35:15 utime("Test/owner - ob.xls", [2004/11/03-08:36:25, 2004/11/03-08:36:25]) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted) This is the id output of that user: DOMAIN+fscadmin@SERVER:~> id uid=10000(DOMAIN+fscadmin) gid=10000(DOMAIN+Domänen-Benutzer) groups=10000(DOMAIN+Domänen-Benutzer),10001(DOMAIN+Domänen-Admins),10002(DOMAIN+GRUPPE_ADMIN),11054(ges_bt_r),11055(ges_bt-test) If an other user access a file of fscadmin, it works. Here's the id output of that user: AGESTT74:~ # su - DOMAIN~USER DOMAIN~USER@AGESTT74:~> id uid=12513(DOMAIN~USER) gid=10040(DOMAIN~GRUPPEA) groups=10040(DOMAIN~GRUPPE),10000(DOMAIN~Domänen-Benutzer),.... The main difference from my point of view is, that the primery group of fscadmin contains a german character "ä" and the other one does not. Here's my locale configuration: LANG=de_DE@euro LC_CTYPE="de_DE@euro" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE@euro" LC_TIME="de_DE@euro" LC_COLLATE="de_DE@euro" LC_MONETARY="de_DE@euro" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE@euro" LC_PAPER="de_DE@euro" LC_NAME="de_DE@euro" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE@euro" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE@euro" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE@euro" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE@euro" LC_ALL=de_DE@euro Here's the configuration directive from smb.conf unix charset = ISO8859-15 Any help would be fine....

Re: [SLE] Tools for migrating from Novell to SuSe
by David Bank 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

<pet peeve> "Novell" is a company. "NetWare" is a product. Considering that Novell now owns SUSE, you;re not talking about leaving Novell at all. </pet peeve> No, there never was any "NET" command associated with NetWare. Your're thinking about Windoze and the silly NET USE stuff they "borrowed" from IBM's PC Network (circa 1984). If you desire to migrate your NetWare environment to a SUSE platform, all you need to do is await the arrival of Open Enterprise Server, which will offer you the OPTION of installing the NetWare services atop EITHER a "traditional" NetWare kernel OR a SUSE Linux kernel. Once you have it atop the SUSE Linux kernel, I think that would be the time to start migrating clients to a different access method. If you just can't wait, then NetWare ALREADY offers you the ability to use different access methods - its called Native File Access Protocols, and its available on modern versions of NetWare (v5.1 thru v6.5). NFAP allows a NetWare server to appear as an NFS server to *NIX clients (including Linux), an AppleTalk server to Macs, and as a CIFS server to Windoze clients. Its been available for YEARS.

Hello, I have installed SuSE 9.0 with NFS server. This PC connected to the Internet through dial-up PC as gateway. If the dial-up PC did not connect to the Internet, and when I turn on my PC. My PC will stop at "Starting kernel based NFS Server" for 3 to 5 minutes. I'm not sure why this happened. But if the dial-up PC connected to the internet, my PC boot-up properly. Can someone tell me how to aviod this problem, and make it faster to initialize on startup.

Hi Aaron, With all due respect this is a Suse Linux newsgroup not a Win XP. I personally use VMware v4.5.2 under Suse 9.0 Pro and not under Windows. Please look at VMware web site for FAQs and newsgroups. Good luck. Luis ---------- Original Message ------------- Subject: [SLE] VMWare Date: Tue, 02 Nov 2004 20:37:10 -0500 From: Aaron Bridge <a.bridge(a)insightbb.com> To: Suse-Linux-E <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> I have VMware 4.0 workstation running on a Windows XP machine. However, after I load the NIC modules and try to connect via FTP for the install it always comes up with a red box saying no network modules are used. When I do a clean install on a empty hard drive I never have any problems using the same FTP methods. It seems to be a VMware Problems. Has anyone experienced the same or have any suggestions?

How to kil the "modulated clock mode" message ?
by Michael W Cocke 02 Nov '04

Something (Darned if I can figure out from where, I've shut off ACPI and sensors) is sending messages: "Message from syslogd@mwcdt at Tue Nov 2 15:52:41 2004 ... mwcdt kernel: CPU0: Running in modulated clock mode" How do I suppress them? For that matter, should I care? Thanks! Mike- -- If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs...
