DHCP and DNS woes
by Chadley Wilson 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

Greetings, I must have missed something here; I have configured 180 ip's available via DHCP and created 180 DNS records. Like this: station10 IN A 192.168.2.10 station11 IN A 192.168.2.11 station12 IN A 192.168.2.12 So when I boot a station it will be asigned an ip-address by dhcp and receive a host name from DNS, But this is only working on the Linux machines. Could someone please tell me why the windows PC's don't get a host name update at all? BIG THANKS Chadley

localized pages on OpenSUSE wiki
by Nicola -kOoLiNuS- Losito 05 Nov '05

Hi to *, i was wondering what kind of "policy" it has been decided to manage localized pages of the OpenSUSE wiki. Is preferable to open subsection on the main blog or it's better to organize independent wikis all over the world ? -- .~.

Installing fonts the SuSE way?
by Steven T. Hatton 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

If I simply place fonts in a subdirectory under /etc/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, and run SuSEconfig, the fonts are not loaded when the KDM is loaded. If I add the new path to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, they will load. The problem with modifying the /etc/X11/xorg.conf is that it has a corresponding /etc/X11/xorg.conf.md5 which means YaST wants to control the file. When I copy the fonts to ~/.fonts, and add the following to the ~/.fonts.conf: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <dir>~/.fonts/wri/4.1/truetype</dir> <dir>~/.fonts/wri/4.1/Type1</dir> </fontconfig> X still fails to load the fonts. Putting the fonts in /usr/share/fonts/wri/4.1/truetype /usr/share/fonts/wri/4.1/Type1 likewise fails. I would rather not edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Is there an alternative? Steven

A question for the iptables gurus. :)
by Ben Rosenberg 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

I'm trying to write some iptables rules so that I can let someone telnet to machines on a 10.0.0.0 network but not allow them to telnet anywhere else.. effectively blocking outbound telnet to ANYTHING except the machines on the 10.0.0.0 network. I thought I had it but I guess I don't. The rules are as follows... # allow outgoing telnet traffic /usr/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -p TCP -i eth2 -d 10.0.0.0/8 --dport 23 -j ACCEPT # block all other outgoing telnet traffic /usr/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -p TCP -i eth2 -d 0/0 --dport 23 -j DROP This machine is a Compaq DL760 with 2 dual port 10/100 cards in it and eth2 is the first port on card 2. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -Ben -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

Adding DVD drive after SuSE install. Works!
by Dana J. Laude 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

Greetings all, Background... running SuSE 10.0 GM and added a DVD burner after the install. (which was upgraded from 9.3 btw) Anyways, the DVD burner ended up as /dev/hdd on my system and I added the following to the /etc/fstab: /dev/hdd /media/dvdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 Then I added a few symbolic links to /dev for /dev/hdd which included /dev/dvd (which Kaffine seems to need) along with /dev/dvdrecorder. (not really needed) In addition, you need to create the /media/"dvdrecorder" directory (or whatever you want to call it) Basically, it's late and this is NOT the greatest tutorial but then again you can ask questions later. :) Anyways, I'm able to watch my movies and such, so all is good.

smart and YaST sources
by René Matthäi 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

Hi, is it planned to be able to use YaST sources with smart? Or is it already possible and I didn't realize it? :-) By the way, which other APT sources for openSUSE are there because e. g. whenn I wanted to download the kernel-source package, bielefeld didn't have it, and erlangen maybe was to slow (smart was choosing gwdg first). So I decided to install it with YaST2 (with ftp.hosteurope.de as source) and it went quickly. Greetings, René -- Registered Linux User #324404

SuSEconfig and smart
by René Matthäi 05 Nov '05

Hi, is SuSEconfig run by smart in a smart way, or do I have to run SuSEconfig manually each time I've used smart? René -- Registered Linux User #324404

I have had three occassions since upgrading to 10 to do a ctrl+alt+esc and notice that I no loger get the kill icon. What's up?? Before I thought it was just me being clueless, but now I know better. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

[not really OT]Looking for LDAP or NIS validation util for windows.
by Michael W Cocke 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

I'm looking to set up either NIS or LDAP server (I don't really care which, whatever will work easiest) on SuSE 10 and need a logon validation client for the Windows XP Professional workstations on the network. I already have Samba working, just want to take it to the next level and not have to maintain multiple user logons all over the building. Anyone know of a decent one that will play nice with either the NIS or LDAP servers that ship with SuSE 10? Thanks! Mike- -- Mornings: Evolution in action.
