HELP: sendmail will not get right ip, hostname not found! cache?
by Henry Tang 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Hello all, I am trying to send mail to someone(a)vginc.net and sendmail kept on saying hostname not found. I dig, host, and nslookup on the domain and all gave the proper info. When sending the email, sendmail reports that vginc.net hostname not found.. IS there a cache for sendmail, if so how do i clear it. I rebooted my mail server, run nscd, and nothing helps with caching.. any idea why this is happening thanks henry

Keyboard test
by Paul Abrahams 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Is there a Linux program around, preferably part of the SuSE distribution, for testing all the keys on my keyboard? I washed one of my keyboards and it had stuck keys for a while. I want to be sure that they're all gone. And an aside: what are folks' favorite ways of cleaning keyboards? Paul

It's a major thing. It may not mean much to you as a single advanced Linux user, but if you are talking about a company that it trying to break Linux into the enterprise desktop market to replace Windows, it's a major thing. You hear things like that and then you wonder what other little snafu's are on the horizon. I think quite a few manglers have decided to sit back and wait intil SUSE 11 or 12 because of that little update snafu. cheers, dg Division of University Advancement University of Toronto http://www.dua.utoronto.ca

[opensuse] Repositories below http://software.opensuse.org/download/games:/
by Dominique Leuenberger 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Hi everybody, would it be possible to have something like a SuperRepo above the repositories below http://software.opensuse.org/download/games:/ ? This would allow someone to have ALL the categories in his Installer without the need to add them all seperately by category. don't misunderstand me: I like the split in this cattegory, and I think it's important, but it would also be very interesting to have the possibility to subscribe only to one Repository (technically, it IS possible... remains just the question, if it can be implemented on the Build Service). AND: To whom would I have to address if I'd like to see another game in the Repo? (for example UFO:AI. Current Version is 2.0-RC4) Regards, Dominique
