by Jay Vollmer 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Hi Everybody. The time has come for me to purchase a DVD recorder. Can anyone offer advice as to which brands/models work well under Linux/K3B, or which to avoid? Am I better off with an external USB, or internal IDE? aTdHvAaNnKcSe -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER(a)CONSOLIDATEDLINT.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE

FreeNX
by Jay Paulson 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Hello all- I installed FreeNX last night and finally got it working. I could connect from my Windows machine to my SuSE machine with no problem. Today I'm trying to connect to my SuSE machine from my Mac OSX machine. I keep running into the problem below. Info: Established X server connection. Info: End of session requested by remote proxy. Info: Shutting down the link and exiting. I've read a couple things saying that Mac's have a problem when sending the display depth to the nxserver. However, they don't say wether or not that would cause my disconnect problems. Also, I found that one user said he was missing library files but he didn't say what library files he was missing!!! ARG! Thanks for any help!

In order to add 3c509 in the INITRD-MODULES list, run YaST2->System-> sysconfig files -> kernel-> INITRD-MODULES It should be that, I don't run Linux at the present time.

Apache SSL Client Authentication
by Gaël Lams 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Hi all, I'm trying to configure client authentication for one of my sites (SuSe 9.0, apache 2.0.48, openssl-0.9.7b-133 distribution's rpm). You will find below the steps I'm following, the problem I have is that, when I go to the page, it first asks me to accept the server's certificate, then ask me to select one of the client certificate imported in the browser, and then: - on IE, it gives me the error "Cannot find server or DNS Error" - on Firefox, it gives me a blank page In the apache log file [Tue Jul 12 15:03:41 2005] [error] Re-negotiation handshake failed: Not accepted by client!? [Tue Jul 12 15:03:43 2005] [notice] child pid 9192 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) If I remove "SSLVerifyCLient require" and authenticate only the server, I can see the right web page. After several unsuccessful test, I'm wondering whether I'm missing something Here are the steps I follow: 1 Generate my own Certificate Authority: openssl genrsa -out itcilo-ca.key 2048 openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key itcilo-ca.key -out itcilo-ca.crt 2 Generate the server key and request for signing openssl genrsa -out tomcat-server.key 1024 openssl req -new -key tomcat-server.key -out tomcat-server.csr 3 Sign the certificate signing request with the self-created certificate authority openssl x509 -req -in tomcat-server.csr -out tomcat-server.crt -sha1 -CA itcilo-ca.crt -CAkey itcilo-ca.key -days 3650 I had to create an itcilo-ca.srl file (echo "01" >itcilo-ca.srl) 4 Create a new private key and a certificate request for the user: openssl genrsa -out lams.key 1024 openssl req -new -key lams.key -out lams.csr 5 Sign the certificate request, thereby creating the client certificate: openssl x509 -req -in lams.csr -out lams.crt -sha1 -CA itcilo-ca.crt -CAkey itcilo-ca.key -days 3650 6 Generate the PKCS#12 certificate: openssl pkcs12 -export -in lams.crt -inkey lams.key -name "Lams Gael Cert" -out lams.p12 7 Import the certificate into the browser And here is my virtual host configuration: <VirtualHost *:443> ServerAdmin myemailaddress DocumentRoot /srv/www/vhosts/myfqdn ServerName myfqdn SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/tomcat-server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/tomcat-server.key SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/itcilo-ca.crt </VirtualHost> <Directory /srv/www/vhosts/myfqdn> SSLRequireSSL SSLVerifyCLient require SSLVerifyDepth 1 Options Indexes AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> I alredy have a thread on the openssl-users mailing list, but perhaps someone using SuSe has already performed that kind of set-up, or perhaps it's suse default configuration problem Any help, pointer would be greatly appreciated Regards, Gaël

Print to PDF?
by Clayton 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

OK, I'm missing the obvious here... I hope. In Suse9.2 I could print to PDF from most/any application - I didn't have to do any special configuring... it just worked out of the box. In SuSE9.3, I haven't needed a PDF until last night... I go to do a Print to PDF.. and all I can print is PS (PostScript) Errrr... have I missed a package? (looked on two separate installs of 9.3 and neither can print to PDF) What do I need to install/configure in 9.3 to be able to get back that handy feature of 9.2? C.
