I could not find any server parts on my SJDS/SLES8.1 CDs I tried to download and install rsh-server-v.017-291.i586.rpm and version 017-350, but didn't succeed to install them (conflicts). My SuSE 9 Pro media contain rsh-server-v.017-451.i586.rpm, but this was too new for 8.1. I installed the latter with Yast on my SuSE 9, and afterwards I could find rsh and rlogin in the superserver /etc/xinetd.d on that system. As root I tried to start them manually (./rlogin start) but got permission denied. Maybe it have to be configured first. I also tried with Yast -> Network services (initd) but couldn't see rsh or rlogin or how to enable them. Further suggestions what to do to get and install rsh-server installed on SJDS/SLES8.1?

SUSE and Gnome
by Keith Powell 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

I am certain that this will have been raised before, but I can't find it in either the archives or with Google. So sorry for asking and please don't flame me!! I bought SUSE 9.0 Professional when it first came out and installed both KDE and Gnome. I had great problems with Gnome, as it always "froze" the computer when I tried to log out. The only thing I could do, was to manually switch the machine off, or do a manual restart. (CTL->ALT->Backspace did nothing). I downloaded and installed all the patches (including several from ULB), but it was still the same. So I reinstalled SUSE with just KDE. I would like to try Gnome again, and have installed it on a separate hard drive. It again freezes when I try to log out. As others on the list use Gnome, how did you overcome this problem, please? Can you either give the information, or point me to where to find it? I only have a slow dial-up connection, so I can't download lots of stuff in the hope that something may fix it. Many thanks for any help. Keith

maildir and spam
by Tom Allison 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

I've got a question that isn't so SuSE-ish, but of interest just the same. I'm starting to use the Courier-imap server rather than the uw-imap server and I have a question about batch processing of spam. Typically what I do is sort email into folders to allow for corrections to the bayesian filters in case then got any of it backwards. I then run a crontab job to make all the corrections and then delete the old emails. Under mbox format this was easy, I could just do something like: sa-learn --ham < mbox_file && > mbox_file Under cyrus I tried something similar where I would read each file in seperately and then delete it. That fried my imap server for a few days. I'm more than a little reluctant to try it like that again. So, I'm asking, how would you go about reading in lots of emails for processing (spamassassin, bogofilter, razor) and then deleting them? Originally I thought I could take all the mail and store it into an mbox format, which would be very effective for batch processing, but courier-imap won't have any of that.

Soundjuicer issues
by Trey Sizemore 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

I'm still getting the following error after upgrading my Soundjuicer package from the usr-bin-local repository: Could not start Sound Juicer Reason: The plugin necessary for CD access was not found. Please consult the documentation for assistance. It actually does read the CD and display the tracks when it's invoked, but closing the error message causes it to shut down. -- Cheers, Trey --- The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper. - Aristotle 6:41pm up 0:48, 1 user, load average: 0.18, 0.16, 0.10 Linux linux 2.4.21-144-default #1 Fri Nov 14 00:01:36 UTC 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

tftp server
by Tom Allison 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

I'm trying to get the tftp server running. I have confirmed that the firewall allows tcp and udp packets through port 69. HERE is my tftp entry service tftp { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /tftpboot/ disable = no } I don't see ANY activity on this. xinet is running if I do: telnet 1.2.3.4 69 I get "connection refused" yet I can't find anything in the /var/log/messages or /var/log/xinetd.log to indicate a problem. I'm at a complete loss what to do.

( heavy sigh ) BUt now I can't find packman's site, and google just gave me gigerish, well that and about ten pages of repeats.. even w/ the url: prefix I got urls of people using any of the words individually , using quotes around the search terms didn't help either, that tended to result in a much shorter list and the suggestion I go buy any url in any combination of the search terms. Not very helpful.. I've been pulling cable , and cleaning up a system so long now both shoulders are lactose intolerant (G) okay it's a stupid joke.. but actually that is strictly the dificulty, builtup lactic acid around the nerves in muscle tissue .. I don't recomend it much unless perhaps you have one of the $15,000 "human touch" (TM )? Japanese "easy chairs" ... So pretty please, someone take pity on me and just tell me the url for packman's site... TIA gang..
