How to configure ORDER of runlevel services?
by Chris Carlen 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Hi: My MatLab flexlm script fails at boot because the install script put it as the first service to start, but it needs network up. It works fine if I start it manually after the system is up. I never realized that there seems to be no way to control the ORDER of services in the Yast|System|Runlevel Editor. Obviously I can do it by hand by changing the symlinks, but jeez, I think this is a serious deficiency. Certainly it is very important the order in which *some* services are started. Am I missing something? Shouldn't this be tweakable in Yast? Thanks. -- _____________________ Christopher R. Carlen crobc(a)earthlink.net SuSE 9.1 Linux 2.6.5

Re: [SLE] rkhunter-1.1.7-1.ps.noarch.rpm available
by Patrick Shanahan 31 Aug '04

rkhunter-1.1.7-1.ps.noarch.rpm is available for download: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/rkhunter-1.1.7-1.ps.noarch.rpm Support was added for ADM Worm, MzOzD backdoor, and spwn backdoor. New tests include a LKM filename check and a passwordless user account test. The inetd.conf test was extended. The application version list was updated, and its layout was improved. A bug in the installer has been fixed. Rootkit Hunter scans files and systems for known and unknown rootkits, backdoors, and sniffers. The package contains one shell script, a few text-based databases, and optional Perl modules. It should run on almost every Unix clone. * 1.1.7 (29/08/2004) New: - Added support for ADM Worm - Added support for MzOzD and spwn backdoor - Added LKM filename check (experimental) - Added passwordless user account test Changes: - Updated Mandrake 9.2 hashes. Thanks to Eric Gerbier - Updated application version list - Extended inetd.conf test (searches for shells) - Added total of vulnerable applications at report, if application scan was performed. Bugfixes: - Fixed a major bug in the installer when you install version 1.1.5 or newer. The sample configuration won't be copied and the due to that, the --update function won't work. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

Poor sound quality after upgrade to 9.1-Pro
by Neal M. Holtz 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

After upgrading a pretty new machine from 8.2-Pro to 9.1-Pro, I noticed a marked degradation in the quality of playback of my MP3 collection. I first had the problem that has been often reported regarding no volume, and I have fixed that as per http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/thallma_91_sndsilence.html (for example). But now the sound quality is markedly inferior; in fact I just spent some time comparing against an 8.2 machine just behind me. And even though the 8.2 machine has decent, but not nearly as good, speakers, it produces far better sound on the same MP3s. The problem is a lot of background distortion - its not always immediately obvious, but it is really there as soon as you listen. Seems to be affecting mostly the mid to lower ranges, and appears in headphones as well, so its not the speakers. In all cases, I have used the default sound installation, with no tweaking (except to fix the volume problems). The sound is one of those onboard Asustek VT8233/etc. thingees. Anyone have any ideas. (I'm now going to upgrade the 8.2 machine, and keep better before and after notes, so we'll see if that changes aything).

The latest SuSE 9.1 XFree86 server update - is it working ok?
by Niclas Arndt 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Hi Some of you may have seen my previous postings on the vnc issue for non-US keyboards in SuSE 9.1. As you should know by now, there is an update available from YOU, claiming to solve this issue (among others). In my case it completely messed up my system. First I noticed that the "/" key is working again. Second I noticed that I could no longer start any programs using the K menu (I think it is called) at the bottom left. This is in fact the same problem I had with the Xvnc server from SuSE 8.2. As you may remember I reported a workaround using the SuSE 9.0 Xvnc server file for 9.1. The 9.0 Xvnc file no longer worked on SuSE 9.1 after the update. I could no longer access the computer via vnc. Neither could I log in at localhost - I only got the Yast program automatically. Logging in with Windowmaker (I think it is called) I was able to restore the old Xvnc server file, but this still wouldn't un-break my system. So - here's my question: Has anybody got vnc to work properly with a non-US keyboard after the 9.1 update? Thanks in advance. /Niclas _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Re: [SLE] samba can't see windows shares
by Andrew Brown 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

OK. This turns out to be a firewall problem, in that everything works when I switch the firwall off. So suse firewall 2 is somehow blocking nmblookup packets. Now, I don't know anything about configuring the suse firewall, and the docs are written for ppeople who do know what they are doing. Can anyone tell me what I should change and where to make the suse firewall work with nmblookup? It works with every other part of samba already, and is configured to let through ports 137-139 on the internal network (I think).

Problem mount samba share in SuSE 9.1
by Arie Reynaldi Z 31 Aug '04

Hi All, I have a problem during mount samba share from suse 9.1 to my file-server that using suse 8.2. Whenever I mount that samba share, UID and GID is changed (it seems like using the same UID and GID from the system) not the same with UID and GID in my computer. So, event with 'rw' permission, I can't write to my home directory in file-server, cause it's not belong to me...

nfsd threads
by Taavi Dovnar 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

I have one nfs server, and at the moment 14 computers are getting users home directories from server (about 30 home directoris). In var/log/messages there are: kernel: nfsd: too many open TCP sockets, consider increasing the number of nfsd threads How can I increase it? ps ax shows, that there are four nfsd processes.
