Can someone tell me why my logs in the /var/log/syslogs arent rotating? All logs in /var/log are rotating fine. Below is my conf file.. -- # keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs rotate 4 # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones create # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed #compress # uncomment these to switch compression to bzip2 #compresscmd /usr/bin/bzip2 #uncompresscmd /usr/bin/bunzip2 # RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory include /etc/logrotate.d /var/log/syslogs { daily create rotate 4 } # no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here #/var/log/wtmp { # monthly # create 0664 root utmp # rotate 1 #} # system-specific logs may be also be configured here. -- thanks, ryan

I've been doing some heavy patching of RHEL4AS from RedHat and a reboot seem to resolve the nfs4 mount capability. Whew I was being to lose respect for Red Hat. But it looks like it works just fine... -----Original Message----- From: Gomez, Daniel [mailto:dgomez@tigr.ORG] Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 3:11 PM To: opensuse(a)opensuse.org Subject: RE: [opensuse] NFSv4 Good to know. Thanks. In case others are wondering, using a NetApp nfs4 exported share, I was able to perform "mount -t nfs4 ..." out of the box successfully from Fedora Core 3 (64-bit). Oddly, this command failed for Red Hat Enteprise 4 AS (32-bit). I guess it WAS premature after all.

Well, nfsv4 support in Linux is still being finished. Rest assured that we are working on the support, but it is not clear if it will make 10.0... It will definitely make 10.1.

Well, I just installed Suse 10 and I was hugely disappointed to see that the mount command does not support "nfs4" in the vfstype option. Does anyone know if nfs4 will be included in any of the upcoming beta relases of 10? Thanks, -----Original Message----- From: Gomez, Daniel [mailto:dgomez@tigr.ORG] Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 6:26 AM To: opensuse(a)opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse] NFSv4 I'm interested in using NFSv4 on Suse and would like to know where I can find more information on the inclusion of NFSv4 on the upcoming Suse 10 release. The following link is a search in Bugzilla for NFS in suse 10 but there were no hits. https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=rele vance+desc&bug_status=__all__&product=SUSE+LINUX+10.0&content=NFS I've started some basic testing of NFS using Fedora Core 3 to simply familiarize myself with new procedures and features involved in NFSv4 and though NFSv4 will likey be included in Suse 10 in about a month at it's official release, I think the time spent looking at the setup details will only further my understanding of it. However, it would be helpful to see how suse is planning on implimenting it's inclusion in version 10, which I assume it is, so my learning is as accurate to the official suse implimentation as possible. Also I'm interested in any feedback from users who have introduced NFSv4 on linux into production. It seems Red Hat introduced NFSv4 into production in their RHELv4 release. Has anybody had an issues that would suggest the inclusion was premature especially in light of the NFSv4 websites below that seem to suggest that the linux implimentation is not yet completely finished?

How to stop an aborted print job?
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Know that it is a topic from time to time but googling the list did not bring a solution. I started a print job with the wrong printer and stopped the printer. Went to the Kjobviewer and put the printjob in the trash can. Remembered that the printer should be killed two or three times in order to flush out the remains of the job. Did not work this time. How get I rid of the remains?
