Open Office Impress question
by Jerry Feldman 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

I have an OO.o Impress presentation and I would like to insert the slide numbers (probably in the low right corner). I went into Insert/Page Number ... The Header and Footer dialog box came up, and I clicked on Slide Number under "Include on slide". But that seemed to do nothing once I applied it. Does anyone have any success short of insetring it manually -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

flushing a firefox SSL certificate
by Greg Freemyer 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

All, I'm doing some r&d work with a https site I'm developing. I accepted the certificate into firefox under the wrong url and now I need to delete it from my firefox configuration. I've tried to do that via the firefux user interface and I've found dialog boxes that look like they should do the job but my cert is not showing up. Is there somewhere on the harddisk I can find the cert and just delete it? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

Re: [suse-amd64] problem with network initialization in SuSE 10??? SOLVED

Never ever use PLANET switches, they suck. I pulled the patch lead from the crummy PLANET switch and "switched" to a 3com one - now everything works absolutely fine. Thanks for your suggestion Andy.

Comedii from CVS on SUSE 10.0
by Roger Oberholtzer 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

On SUSE 10.0, Is anyone able to compile Comedii from CVS? I get an error with the kernel include files. I can compile other device drivers (other than those that come with the kernel), so I trust that my kernel build environment is set up. I do not know why the kernel files would include irq_vectors.h in such a way that it cannot be found. There are numerous irq_vectors.h files in the kernel source tree. If there was only one I would just point at that. But as there are several, I an uncertain what's up.. /include/asm-i386/mach-default/irq_vectors.h ./include/asm-i386/mach-visws/irq_vectors.h ./include/asm-i386/mach-voyager/irq_vectors.h ./include/asm-um/irq_vectors.h ./include/asm-xen/asm-i386/mach-xen/irq_vectors.h ./include/asm-xen/asm-x86_64/mach-xen/irq_vectors.h I attached the error messages to circumvent mail reader formatting.

Multiple high port ssh connections from strange host?
by Steven T. Hatton 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

I believe this indicates someone is trying to break into my system. Is there a way to deal with this kind of attack? Other than turning off ssh, that is. #netstat | grep ssh tcp 0 0 myserver.mydomain:ssh mybox.mydomain:57817 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 myserver.mydomain:ssh 211.146.113.178:38628 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 myserver.mydomain:ssh 211.146.113.178:37353 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 myserver.mydomain:ssh 211.146.113.178:38442 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 myserver.mydomain:ssh 211.146.113.178:38990 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 myserver.mydomain:ssh 211.146.113.178:38257 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 myserver.mydomain:ssh 211.146.113.178:37178 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 myserver.mydomain:ssh 211.146.113.178:37533 TIME_WAIT

A long time ago when I worked in a support department, I used to make sure the machines were configured like this. It stopped anybody stealing one of the machines to replace a failed customer machine :) And yes, getting the boot scripts right was a pain! Cheers, Dave

Strange cups/enscript behaviour, protection problem?
by Peter Sutter 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

I have just re-installed cups on a SuSE V9.2 Linux system. User root can print, other users can't; to be more precise, I get a printout as user root, but not when logged in as a non-root. Yet when I check the cups error log, it looks as if the jobs are getting printed. (see the entries in cups error.log below). Observing the printers, in both cases, there is data being sent to the printer (activity light starts flashing). In both situations, I attempt to print the same text file using enscript -P fs_1010_net filename.txt. The printer is a kyocera fs_1010 printer with a network port, configured as direct port printing to port 9100. What goes wrong? cups or enscript? Thanks for any clues.
