I have suse 9.1 professional and it seems whatever I try to open on the Desktop I get message Could not find mime type octet-stream I installed 9.1 about 3 weeks ago and have had no problems at all and I have not changed anything as far as I am aware. The last application I installed was TSE3 notedit sequencer about 10days ago but as I said everything was working fine until today. Any ideas? Regards.

It'd be pretty easy to do the "install to directory" minimal install in YaST, followed by something like "rpm -Uvh --root /new/system rkhunter.rpm" and the copy of that directory onto a CD or something. Can you specify a CD with a root filesystem as a grub target? I know you can specify a floppy... Not that there aren't a million bootable systems out there, but that seems somewhat easy to set up. --Danny

Hi Check the log file /var/log/vsftpd.log. Here are the config files I use for a vsftpd server with two users, each with his own directory. Anonymous ftp is not enabled in this config. The simple script below should be able to guide you through the installation process. The files in the zip file should be modified for your needs and check the file permissions before you are done. This ftp server is started by Xinetd. If you have any further questions, please consult the documentation. Cheers /Niclas #!/bin/bash # The vsftpd files are placed in /root/CopySource/ mkdir /root/originals mkdir /home/ftpsite groupadd -r virtual useradd -d /home/user1dir -g virtual -p user1password -r user1 chmod 755 /home/user1dir chown user1 /home/user1dir chgrp virtual /home/user1dir mkdir /home/rmksite useradd -d /home/user3dir -g virtual -p user3password -r user3 chmod 755 /home/user3dir chown user3 /home/user3dir chgrp virtual /home/user3dir mv /etc/vsftpd.conf /root/originals/ cp /root/CopySource/vsftpd.conf /etc/ db_load -T -t hash -f /root/CopySource/vsftpd.users /etc/vsftpd_login.db chmod 600 /etc/vsftpd_login.db # mv /etc/pam.d/vsftpd /root/originals/vsftpd.pam cp /root/CopySource/vsftpd.pam /etc/pam.d/ftp cp /root/CopySource/vsftpd_users /etc/ mv /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd /root/originals/ cp /root/CopySource/vsftpd /etc/xinetd.d/ cp /root/CopySource/vsftpd /etc/xinetd.d/ftp >From: Jack Malone <jmalone(a)horizonind.com> >To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com >Subject: [SLE] ftp servers >Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2004 11:41:30 -0500 > >I want to see who is logged on to the server here via ftp. the last command >does not show this. can someone tell me what i can do to see who is logged >in via ftp. thanks. > > >also does anyone know where the vdftp config file is located. i uaully use >pureftp for ftp servers but want to check out vsftp an can not seem to find >where its config file is located after i install vsftp. > >thanks > > >jack > > >-- >Check the headers for your unsubscription address >For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com >Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com >Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com > > _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

installing packages
by Chadley Wilson 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Greetings I have had a rough time, Surely there is a site with addon packages for suse, like mixxx, celestia, gkrellm, themes, skins, kjofol skins,xmms skins and plugins, xine/mplayer skins and plugins etc I don't want to have to download rpms one by one and fight dependencies, I know how to install rpms, I have passed that point in my life, I would rather spend the time using the programs now.So I would rather add a repository to YOU, and let that download and install stuff for me. Since I was a fedora/Debian freak and apt is too much dependency battling to install. I would like to know what repos are out there. google just returns threads from this list and some others. You guys must have repos that you are using. Whats the big secret here, come on guys share them.

3600 RPM Drive Too Slow?
by dmc 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

I have found a source of cheap ($20.) 120GB 3600RPM HDD's. Other than needing to be patient using one in a backup role should I anticipate any problems with SuSE 9 or 9.1? My concern is potential time-outs or the like. -- Blessings ... dmc West Central Florida ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This E-mail was generated using SuSE 9.0 Linux & Mozilla.

Advice Needed on Installing KDE3.3
by Dennis J. Tuchler 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

I've downloaded the files I want to install, both basic and application, but I am uneasy about the order in which they should be installed. Will yast2 -i take the files in proper order, or is there another command to use in this case. Thanks dj tuchler
