Hi, I have an OpenLDAP server on a SuSE 9.1 . On the LDAP server I have an entry uid=jj,ou=Accounts,dc=dom,dc=com (implementing posixAccount and shadowAccount) . The login process works without any problems. When I try to change the password, using the passwd command, the shadow related informations in LDAP (shadowLastChange) are not changed. However, the password is updated in the LDAP. Anybody have any ideeas ?

Compaq Proliant ML310 Server (No Hard Disks Found)
by Fareed Hussein 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

Dear users, When installing SuSE Enterprise Server 8 on a Compaq Proliant ML310 server, we get a error "Hard disk not found" I assume its because a Smart Array Driver is required. Please may you advise where I can download the Compaq Smart Array 641 boot-time loadable device driver? Do I press ALT then insert the floppy disk during the install process? I have created a driver disk using rawwrite, press ALT at installation, insert disk, but SuSE just does nothing... Does not detect any controller. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Fareed

KDE 3.3 /SuSE 8.2 and Signing emails
by Guillermo Ballester Valor 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I upgraded to kde 3.3 yesterday in my production system SuSE 8.2. (using apt, and using --reinstall flag). All gone well. It looks very nice. Thanks KDE team!. The only problem I got is that I couln't sign my mail with kmail anymore. I spent some hours trying to solve the problem without success. Finally, I guess it could be the gpg code (it had 1.2.2-rc1). I backported the SuSE 9.1 rpm file (with version 1.2.4) and after few fixes it runned and installed OK. Then the kmail problem signing email is SOLVED !!!. Any other 8.2 user has suffered the same problem with GPG when upgrading to KDE 3.3?. I'm not sure about it is a general problem. If the answer is yes then I will release the backported gpg rpm to my 8.2 repository (suser-gbv).

SATA drives and SuSE
by Alberto Santana 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

A friend of mine got a Dell Precision 450 with 2 SATA drives which SuSE 9.0 can't recognize (installer says there are no hard drives). I know it can be installed in legacy mode (BIOS). Is it worth doing it or will 9.1 be a better way to go? Any comments/experiences??? alberto ------------------------------------------------------------------- Alberto Santana, Ph.D. Center for Chemical Sensor Development for Explosives Department of Chemistry University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez P.O.

Crazy problem with NFS clients
by Ken Gramm 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

So, I have SuSE 9.0 server with three drives. sda1 - mounts on / sdb1 - mounts on /data sdc1 - mounts on /data/moredata I have /data exported under NFS and I have it setup as a Samba share. My MS boxes can see everything as expected (both /data and /data/moredata). They can also see everything if they connect with an NFS client for Windows (comes with MS Services For Unix). My SuSE 9.1 box and a different 9.0 box can both mount a smb share and see the contents of the entire tree (/data and /data/moredata). The problem I can't figure out is if I mount /data through nfs on either SuSE workstation, I can only see the contents of /data. If I cd into /data/moredata the directory is empty, even though I know data is in the there. What is even stranger is if I create anything in /data/moredata from either SuSE workstation, both workstations can see the newly created files/folders, but all of the other machines can't. That is until I unmount sdc1 from /data/moredata. Then if I look into the folder that serves as the mount point, I find the files/folders that the SuSE workstations created. It is as if the SuSE NFS clients don't recognize the folder /data/moredata as a mount point and thus do not try to write anything to the proper volume. So my question is, has anyone else see this problem, and if so, what was the solution? Thanks in advance. Ken

Windoze envionment on Linux?
by John N. Alegre 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

Is WINE still the Windoze emulater of choice on Linux? Is it on the SuSE Pro 9.1 disks? Where can i find docs on set up, config, and installation of Windoze software. About the only two things I need are an old version of Quicken 2000 to look at some old Quicken ledgers and a current version of Microsoft Publisher. All comments welcome john

I haven't looked at the SuSE 2.6 packages for a few weeks, I must admit, but I had a few problems with them a while ago- dependency issues, missing menus, applets crashing - and I know a few others did too. So, I went back to ulb-gnome, with which I'm very happy. I'll be very interested to see what comes out of the Novell/Ximian/SuSE stable later on. (I just can't get into KDE, no matter how hard I try!!) David
