Suse 10 LDAP client & Mac OSX LDAP server?
by Matt Harrington 22 May '06

22 May '06

I'm trying to get a Suse 10 workstation to bind to a Max OSX OpenDirectory (LDAP) server. I've set up the LDAP client in YAST with the basic settings. For example, the LDAP Base DN is just the name of the LDAP server. The LDAP server on OSX also has the default settings. For example, SSL is disabled. As far as I can tell, everything should work. However, "getent passwd" only returns local accounts and nothing from the LDAP server. Logfiles on both the client and server don't indicate any errors. Any pointers would be most welcome. Thanks in advance, ---Matt

Sorry to say I can't help with the software, yet, but on the hardware. there is a device (around $25 for the 4n1 at wally world) that was designed to go from one connection to another. It is a switchbox that was originally designed to take various signals, and transfer them to a tv with other connectors. They are normally around the antenna's. They are now more marketed as hook more devices to your tv.

keym@n software for cherry cymotion master linux - make error
by Marco Karsten 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi all, I have a cherry cymotion master linux keyboard. To make full use of the keyboard the keym@n software is required. It has nice features to switch desktop / change volume / go back or forth a page in firefox or konqi etc. In SUSE 10.0 I could use the rpm supplied by the manufacturer, this rpm sadly doesn't work for SUSE 10.1. rpm, dep, sourcecode and manual available here: http://support.cherry.de/english/new_download.asp?langID=0&platID=0 (select cymotion master linux) The sourcecode is available and released under the GPL. So I tried to use that, after installing a lot of devel packages I succesfully had gone through the configure step. After configure I typed "make" and there it goes wrong....... error message: Entering server ... Entering src ... make[2]: *** No rule to make target `linuxthreads/bits/local_lim.h', needed by `.ServerKeyHandle.o'. Stop. make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 What can I do to get the software working ? How would one resolve the error message ? Thanks, Marco.

The next try (same batch of disks) I burned after it had calculated the md5 sum. Is the calculation required for a sucessfull burning (checks while burning). I knew the iso was good, just needed another hand out copy. Thanks

I use my laptop for teaching and presentations, and it has builtin Bluetooth, which is recognized by SuSE 10.0. I was wondering if anyone has used a bluetooth mouse with SuSE 10.0 or 10.1. -- 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

Receiving system mail in my KMail inbox
by Shriramana Sharma 22 May '06

22 May '06

I googled a bit about this but it all went above my head, speaking of system mail administration etc etc. My user is set up to "receive system mail", but this happens only when I have an active Konsole open or I cat /var/spool/mail/samjnaa manually. Is it possible for me to get system mail in my KMail inbox? Thanks. -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.51 on SUSE Linux 10.1 $ date [] CCE +2006-05-22 W21-1 UTC+0530

Zmd Log rotate
by Doug Currey 22 May '06

22 May '06

I like to have my logs rotate on a weekly. I am having a problem with zmd-messages.log it rotates daily in the form of zmd-messages.log.2006-05-20. I can't find the entry for this log. In the logrotate.d directory there is an entry for zmd-backend.log that I now have setup to rotate weekly but nothing for zmd-messages.log. Looked in the /etc/zmd/zmd.conf file nothing. I don't know where else to look.

I haven't touched it for a while though so I wouldn't be able to give you any good advice regarding setup. It was easy to setup at the start. I'm using password protected certificates for authentication. This means I must login to my desktop before starting the vpn tunnel (so I can't login to my remote network from the inital logon screen) but that is but a minor issue for me. VPN clients for openvpn exist for many OS's which is another plus as I use both Windows and Linux clients. Stephen Carter
