So, in that case run Windows, load your favorite VM (Parallels, Vmware) and then your favorite distro and you're off to the races. Penguins sometimes have to be resourceful.

[opensuse] SPAM: Open port in SuSEfirewall2
by Terje J. Hanssen 14 Oct '06

14 Oct '06

I'm new to SuSEfirewall2 and I'm struggling to get access to my openSUSE 10.1 workstation from remote locations. The purpose is to run NX server/clients and SSH in the first phase. So far port 22 of my network router is directed to the SuSE workstation, and I've tried with YaST to enable the ssh service in the firewall. But the workstation doesn't seem to respond on remote ssh commands. Looking in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 the following are set: FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="microsoft-ds netbios-ssn ssh" FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="netbios-dgm netbios-ns" I'm not sure about use of required zones EXT, INT and/or DMZ? In YaST2 I could neither see a way to set both "ssh 22" as commented in the config.file? Suggestions to how to do this and to what is the preferred way to test the settings, locally and from remote?

[SLE] SPAM: Why is everything from suse-linux-e@suse.com labeled SPAM?

Yeah, but it involves work by lazy people, like looking at the Subject line of their message and editing it. I don't know where the word "Spam" gets into the mix, 'cause I don't see it. I use kmail here and don't have the problem. Fred

SPAM: Why no CDDB retrieval in KDE control center?
by M. Fioretti 14 Oct '06

14 Oct '06

Greetings, The "CDDB Retrieval" entry in the "Sound and Multimedia" section of the KDE Control Center (cfr http://docs.kde.org/userguide/audio-cd.html) is missing in my installation (Suse 10.1 x86_64). Why isn't it there? What should I do to have it enabled? TIA, Marco -- The right way to make everybody love Free Standards and Free Software: http://digifreedom.net/node/73

SPAM: where do I control the logging from ZMD ?
by Per Jessen 14 Oct '06

14 Oct '06

The logging from zmd is a little atypical - any chance of bringing it under control of logrotate etc.? I don't really want all these tiny files piling up in /var/log/. /etc/zmd/zmd.conf does not seem to offer many options. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed email security.

SPAM: Threading on mailing list broken?
by Clayton 14 Oct '06

14 Oct '06

On top of the over-zealous SPAM filter... I see all the mails now from the list as individual mails - threading is broken. Anyone else getting this? Just wondering if it's the mailing list that's having another fit, or my webmail client that has suddenly decided to stop threading SUSE mailing list messages. If it's the mailing list having yet another tantrum... is anyone looking at it? C
