grep - argument list too long
by Peter Sutter 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

I am trying to use grep/egrep to find a file in the /tmp directory. All I get back is ~# grep -R "a1aaaa" /tmp/* -bash: /usr/bin/grep: Argument list too long Admittedly, there are numerous files in /tmp, how do I get around this limitation in grep? for a in /tmp/*; do grep "a1aaaa" $a; done seems to work for one directory only, but I feel this method to be clumsy as it does not give me recursion into subdirectories. Any way to do it directly with grep/egrep? Peter

SSL with Yast, it's possible ??? how ?
by Thiago dos Santos 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

Hi, Someone knows if it's possible to configure SSL for Apache2 only with Yast ? I know how to do it manually, next Monday I'll do my CLP exam at Novell and it's possible that they ask me to configure it, and if I don't remember how to do it manually ('cause there are lots of things to configure), Yast could help me :-) Sorry for the English ! Tks, Thiago

Stillcan't ssh or telnet
by Jack Reilly 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

Thanks to all for the many responses to my call for help. I now have the Web Server, Telnet Server, and the SSH Server included in the Firewall setting. The Apache web server is running ok but the remote location still cannot connect with ssh or telnet. There is a file somewhere where I have to enable the linux box to receive ssh and telnet and I can not find it. I have a local net consisting of the new Suse 10 box, a Windows XP box and the old SuSe 8.2 machine that I am replacing. They get to DSL by way of a combination modem-router (2Wire 1701HG Gateway). The purpose of this exercise is to enable my grandson, from his remote location, to set up the files for his website that will use my Apache server. Now I need help finding where I can enable SSH and Telnet. Jack aa6vn(a)pacbell.net

Is the hard disk full? Long post.
by Istvan Gabor 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hello all: I have the following problem with my suse 10.0 OSS with kde 3. 4. I wanted to install my own freedb database. For this purpose I created a separate partition with 10 GB size. I exctracted the tar archive to this partition. The extraction took a really long time, for hours so I left the machine alone. After the extraction has finished tar gave some error messages that could not extract everything since no space left on the drive. However df -h showed this: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda4 9.2G 4.9G 3.9G 56% /home/user/sda4 After rebooting the computer I found that my lilo was corrupted that I had to fix using the rescue boot disk. When I was able login in again I wanted to create new directories on the abovementioned drive but I got this error message: mkdir sda4/temp mkdir: cannot create directory `sda4/temp': No space left on device However df -h shows the same as above: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda4 9.2G 4.9G 3.9G 56% /home/user/sda4 When I run fsck.ext3 (with /dev/sda4 unmounted) it does not report any error: fsck.ext3 /dev/sda4 e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) /dev/sda4: clean, 1221600/1221600 files, 1301070/2441880 blocks Now I don't know what the problem is and how I could fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

http server setup problem in suse 10.0
by Istvan Gabor 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hello all: I would like to set up apache http server only for serving localhost requests. I installed the apache and other required packages through yast/network services/HTTP server. When it turned to the server configuration (HTTP server wizard) I could not pass the first step as there was not anything in the "Listen to Interfaces" window. It was completely empty. Now I am stucked. I think the localhost interface should be there at least. What should I do?

K3B DVD's failing
by Steve Lett 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi all, Have been trying to burn an .iso to DVD to install SuSE 10.0. But each time I burn with K3B, the programs ends with Writing successfully finished. The written data dffers. The checksum test in the beginning appears successful and it lets me start the burning process so I'm assuming the file downloaded cleanly. ?? looked at the deBugging log and it shows nothing useful. A couple of command lines and a notation of every unit downloaded, it's dupe speed, and time remaining... then closing track, flushing cache, closing session... all looks completely normal. And 47m:36s later, I've got a useless disc that won't install in the PC. PC boots to the disc and the installer runs, process appears to be going normally until suddenly I see this text scrolling constantly and it says (as best i can make out) something about an a failure with "semaphore". But at this point all I can do is crash the box. Have tried 3 or 4 different drives in that PC including the one from my PC that burned the disc. No help. Other DVD's will read/write in these drives when they are used in a working system. We've been messing with this for days.... Burning to both DVD +R and to +RW discs. Both are same behavoir in the end. Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks!

DVD Data backup script
by DanTheMan 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi all. I was wondering if someone can point me in the direct of a simple script that I can use to make a nightly DVD backup of our data. Currently our data is about 4gb and fits onto one dvd. I have been manually backing up the data to another linux box but I would also like to make a nightly DVD-RW that rewrites the DVD which we can then store. We plan to store about 7 days worth of data and will reuse the DVDs. The data is stored in the /data directory of our OpenSuSE server. I have created a /backup directory and I plan to implement nightly tarballs of the data. If I have one file like: /backup/2/data.tar.gz - what command should I use to copy it to the DVD drive? Thanks in advance and regards from Denmark, Dan
