[opensuse] LDAP: can not logi into manager account
by robert rottermann 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hi there, I installed LDAP on my SuSe 10.3 box. I changed the configuration in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf to contain the following: ####################################################################### # BDB database definitions ####################################################################### database bdb suffix "dc=redcor,dc=ch" checkpoint 1024 5 cachesize 10000 rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=redcor,dc=ch" # Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should # be avoid. See slappasswd(8) and slapd.conf(5) for details. # Use of strong authentication encouraged. rootpw secret now I would like to use the administrator account like so: ldapsearch -D "cn=Admin,dc=redcor,dc=ch" -x -w secret -h localhost but I get a ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) before I used the cleartext password I tried using an encripted password which I generated with: slappasswd -h {md5}. the result I inserted after rootpw (just where there is now secret). do I have to initialice something befor I am able to use the administrator account? thanks for your help robert

[opensuse] NFS misconfig problem w/files >2GB
by Linda Walsh 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

I'm exporting some files (>10GB files) via NFS from a 2.6.23.1-kernel, SuSE system, and mounting on another (same kernel). All of my files >2GB (not exactly sure if break point is at 2 or 4GB's, all the large files I look at on the source are over 20G) give stat errors over NFS. Both kernels have nfs v4 as well as v3 compiled in. I've heard v2 has a 2GB limit, but v3 should be fine. Have been playing with tags 'nfsvers=[3 or 4]' in the /etc/exports file, but exports doesn't recognize nfsver=4, and gives out of range error message on nfsver=3 saying allowed values are Min=1, Max=2. !? I'm not sure if it is using V3 or 4 (am trying to use 'tcp' tag as well, but not using the tcp isn't the prob, as that was the default before I started looking at this problem. I don't have problems over CIFS from a windows box, but so far, limited benchmarks show better linux-to-linux perf over NFS (assuming I stay under 2GB files, but that's sorta limiting...). Underlying filesystem on the server box is XFS -- been serving Win clients for years, so haven't had alot of experience using NFS, recently, since >2G files became fairly common place. Any ideas how I could be serving up NFS and not >2GB files with a modern kernel and client? *scratching head* ;^?

[opensuse] serial port troubles
by Leen de Braal 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hi all, I am trying to get hylafax running on a new (almost) system with Intel Q965 mobo. It has an external faxmodem attached to serial port. If I run faxaddmodem, it is not able to probe the modem for suitable speed, and reports that the modem does not answer. If I do "echo ATDTphonenumber > /dev/ttyS0" the modem dials, so I have the correct port (I think). On my own system (still 9.2) with a 850 chipset it works ok. If I compare the systems i see: working: mail:/home/ldb # lsdev Device DMA IRQ I/O Ports ------------------------------------------------ 0000:00:1f.0 e400-e47f ec00-ec3f <<-------8<--------->> rtc 0070-0077 serial 4 02f8-02ff 03f8-03ff timer 0 timer0 0040-0043 timer1 0050-0053 uhci_hcd 9 12 b000-b01f b400-b41f vesafb 03c0-03df mail:/home/ldb # on the not working system the "4" in the line serial is missing. Guess this has to do with my troubles. How do I get a IRQ assigned to the port? BTW: it is 10.2 TIA -- L. de Braal BraHa Systems NL - Terneuzen T +31 115 649333 F +31 115 649444 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Software updater Suse 10.1 still shows update available after update has been performed.
by Ed McCanless 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

The updater showed an update for Audacity this weekend. I performed the update using the Yast GUI, so I could see more details. Afterward the icon didn't change as it usually does, so I re-booted to see if it would correct. It didn't. I've seen references to similar behavior in 10.3, but not for 10.1. Have I overlooked something? -ED- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Swap partition "full"....
by Clayton 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

openSUSE 10.2 on a computer with 2GB of RAM and a 4GB swap partition Over time I've seen my swap partition get "full". It is currently sitting at 4029 of 4095 Mb with no applications running (outside of the KDE desktop). Things are fine until I do something that pushes things out of RAM and into swap... then the computer slows right down as it twiddles with whatever debris is left laying around in the swap and finds room to swap out new stuff. Is this normal? I have never noticed the swap partition filling up like this, and remaining "full" over an extended period including through logout and login (not reboot). Usually, when things get swapped to disk I see the partition use increase... then when it is no longer needed that swapped data is released/removed, and the swap partition falls back to zero. Lately, over the past 2 weeks (with no updates), that swap space is not being released. I know (expect) if I reboot, that the swap will reset to zero... or if I do a swapoff and then swapon I should see it all reset back to zero... but, that is not really telling me why the swap space is not released. Anyone have any insight on this? Or know a good resource on finding out what is stuck in the swap space?
