Problems Building from Source
by Lucky Leavell 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

I recently had to rebuild both courier-imap and postfix from source to include support for MySQL. Although both are currently working, I have encountered several problems: 1. I downloaded courier-imap-3.0.7-3.3.src.rpm but when I built the binary RPMs, they were created as (non-root user) courier-imap-3.0.7-1.suse920.i586.rpm and show up as v3.0.7-1 in YaST. The spec file contains the correct 3.0.7-3.3 version. The postfix version remained postfix-2.1.5-3.2 though I had to manually search the SuSE FTP site to find the v3.2 source. 2. The installed binaries of courier-imap-3.0.7-1 are NOT marked with an "-i-" in YaST and hence YoU attempts to update them which would then overwrite the MySQL support. I tried to change or remove them from YoU but was unable to change the "Action" column. This means I can no longer use YoU at all unless I want to reinstall all binaries created from source afterwards. Questions/Suggestions: 1. How can I remove binaries created from source from YoU, i.e., manually force them to "-i-" or at least override YoU insistence on updating them? 2. How can I correct the version number in courier-imap? 3. Suggestion: When SuSE builds binaries, why not go for an "everything but the kitchen sink" approach, such as including MySQL and PostgreSQL support, thus enabling them to remain properly updateable via YoU? (When I rebuilt courier-imap to include MySQL, it created an additional binary RPM: courier-imap-mysql-3.0.7-1.suse920.i586.rpm which seems to be a good approach should I decide to install an "everything but the kitchen sink" binary but do not want, for example, MySQL support.) Thank you, Lucky Leavell

Use of PERSISTENT_NAME
by Aldrik KLEBER 04 Apr '05

Hello, I'm trying to use Shorewall on a Suse 9.2 box, with 2 Ethernet device. I must precise the device name, but eth0 and eth1 is swapping. Reading the mailing-list, i saw the option PERSISTENT_NAME for my ifcfg-XXX files. When I tried ti set en0 and en1 to name my ethernet card, my cards still be named eth0 and eth1 allocated in a random order. Someone can explain me where is my error ? chibilchin:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat "ifcfg-eth-bus-pci-0000:02:01.0" BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='147.210.1.255' IPADDR='147.210.1.1' MTU='' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' NETWORK='147.210.1.0' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' UNIQUE='GA8e.+sm7363IdX9' USERCONTROL='no' IPADDR_='147.210.1.2' NETMASK_='255.255.255.0' LABEL_='' _nm_name='bus-pci-0000:02:01.0' IPADDR__='147.210.1.2' LABEL__='' NETMASK__='255.255.255.0' PERSISTENT_NAME='en0' chibilchin:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat ifcfg-eth-bus-pci-0000:03:0d.0 BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='192.168.1.255' IPADDR='192.168.1.2' MTU='' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' NETWORK='192.168.1.0' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='onboot' UNIQUE='sLwP.yCFQUtrdkU6' USERCONTROL='no' _nm_name='bus-pci-0000:03:0d.0' PERSISTENT_NAME='en1' Thanks, Aldrik

kmail & kwallet
by B. Stia 03 Apr '05

03 Apr '05

Hellos SuSE people, Recently upgrade to KDE3.4 on SuSE 9.2 Have this very aggravating problem with Kwallet which demands that I supply passwords for all of my email accounts (4) and other things. Now, my ISP doesn't require it at every login, so why should Kmail /Kwallet ? (Shades of Microsoft) (Who needs this crap - that is why I quit Windows) Disabled Kwallet but every time Kmail starts it demands the passwords. I can go in and configure Kmail with the correct passwords and it will behave properly, but the next time I start Kmail it "forgets" my password configuration and demands the individual passwords again. Really getting tired of this BS !! Really don't need automated stuff "looking after me". How do I make Kmail forget about this stupid Kwallet thing that 99% of us don't want or need ??? Bob S.

03 Apr '05

Hello, Just now I've been using apt to update the source of available packages. Today the KDE 3.4 packages has been included to the kde3-stable component (SuSE 8.2) Is KDE 3.4.0 already released?. I think the targeted day was precisely today. No news at kde.org still. Guillermo -- Guillermo Ballester Valor gbv(a)oxixares.com Ogijares, Granada SPAIN Linux user #117181.

Need Hardware Storage Device Info
by Greg Wallace 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

I currently have an external hard drive container with a single hard drive capacity. I would like to have the ability to swap out hard-drives on a single device similar to this one except without having to go through all of the effort of screwing the drive down onto the mounts. I'm wondering if anyone manufactures a device that makes it simpler to remove and replace disk drives into the device. In my dreams, it might have some simple thumb screws too attach it to the mount so that all you would have to do is slip it in, connect the USB cable and power to the drive, tighten down the thumb screws, slip the cover over it, and plug it in and use it. I. e., you could change out a hard drive on this device in 5 minutes or less. Anyone out there know if there is such a device? Thanks, Greg Wallace

switch user GUI ?
by Paul Cartwright 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

I have searched the archives and the web and I can't find an answer to this. I seem to have lost the capability to switch users, and I don't know why. The help guide said there is now a "new session" menu item, but I didn't find it. did it go away with an update, or did my configuration change. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc

by Henry Tang 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hi, My mail log is giving me these type of messages below. Looks like some guy or group of peole is using my smtp server as a relay machine. Fortunately my smtp rules are forbidding it, i think. But how do i stop all these messages in the mail log? The from is not frommy domain and looks like they can access my smtp and send email... I am using suse 7.3 and it is outdated and still working on my new 9.2 box, but i am curious what happened and how to resolve the problem. thanks henry ], reject=550 5.7.1 <s27610(a)yahoo.com.tw>...
