[opensuse] User authentication with LDAP, your experience?
by Joachim Schrod 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

Hi, I'm looking for hints about switching user authentication to LDAP. (We're using NIS up to now.) The LDAP server will be SLES, the clients are a variety of SUSE Linux systems, in different versions, and other Unix hosts. I'm familiar with setup of LDAP servers and know how to configure the clients on the PAM level. I think that nscd should run on the clients, as LDAP has a rather high latency, compared to NIS, and that would provide cached access to passwd map entries. Can anybody confirm this or tell me anything about performance issues? Are there any further trapfalls that I might fall into? Real-life experience about problems that were not obvious at first? What do you use to manage LDAP users and groups? YAST? I'm using JXplorer (http://jxplorer.org) for LDAP browsing, but that doesn't seem to cut it for account management. Actually, a Web interface to manage users and groups would be very helpful. Any tip would be greatly appreciated.

[opensuse] Apache setup on Suse 10.0
by James D. Parra 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

Hello, I am having a devil of a time setting up more than one site in Apache on Suse. I can add, and access, two different sites on the same address using 'Any' port with the virtual host having unique names; www.domain1.com & www.domain2.com, however when I add a domain, www.domain3.com, that uses ssl on port 443 and non-ssl on port 80 or 'Any' port, things go haywire. Either I get an error such this ,below, in a browser trying to access www.domain3.com; Bad request! Your browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. <snip> ...or if listen.conf has port 443 listening on a particular address, apache won't start; [Wed Mar 21 12:28:47 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.1:0 has no VirtualHosts Syntax OK Shutting down httpd2 (waiting for all children to terminate) ..done Starting httpd2 (prefork) [Wed Mar 21 12:28:48 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.1:0 has no VirtualHosts (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 10.0.0.2:443 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs ..failed <snip> Netstst shows nothing else is running on port 443. I'd like to have four(4) sites running, two without ssl access, and two others running ssl on port 443 and non-ssl on port 80. How can I fix this? Many thanks in advance.

[opensuse] I see a crack in the walls!
by Kai Ponte 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

I put in a $20,000 line item in my budget for fiscal year 2007/2008 - starting in July - for four notebooks for me and my staff. I was told today that I need to spend the money by the end of this month, in order to re-adjust the funds (or some sort of thing) for this year. Okay, so IOTW, I must spend $20K now for notebooks. Well....if I HAVE to.... In any case, I first go to the HP site and click on the enterpise business notebooks. Look what I see: HP Compaq nw9440 Mobile Workstation Operating Systems -Genuine Windows Vista™ Business 32 -Genuine Windows® XP Professional SP2 -Genuine Windows® 2000 -FreeDOS -SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 -Novell Linux Desktop 9 SP3 certified w00t! That doesn't mean that I can yet BUY the notebook with SUSE but at least they mention it. That is a good thing (tm) in my book. -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi James - quite a few questions to start with... Are domain1 and domain2 running only on port 80? How have you configured Apache to serve both domains? You mention SUSE 10.0 - just to be clear this is, 10.0, not SLES10? > Either I get an error such this ,below, in a browser trying to access > www.domain3.com; <snip> What does the output of /var/log/apache2/error_log show when you try to make this connection? Can you add domain3 as a non-SSL domain? (You can worry about the SSL side of things afterwards) > ...or if listen.conf has port 443 listening on a particular address, apache > won't start; > > [Wed Mar 21 12:28:47 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.1:0 has no > VirtualHosts > Syntax OK > Shutting down httpd2 (waiting for all children to terminate) ..done > Starting httpd2 (prefork) [Wed Mar 21 12:28:48 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost > 10.0.0.1:0 has no VirtualHosts > (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address > 10.0.0.2:443 > no listening sockets available, shutting down > Unable to open logs > ..failed > <snip> > > Netstst shows nothing else is running on port 443. > > I'd like to have four(4) sites running, two without ssl access, and two > others running ssl on port 443 and non-ssl on port 80. Will this be four sites being served via the same IP address, using name based multi-homing, or are you trying to assign each site to a separate IP address? ~~~~~~ Hello Jon, Thank you for your response. Domain1 & domain2 will run on the same IP address on port 80. Domain3 will run on another IP address on ports 80 & 443 (ssl). What is odd is that I can get the first two sites up without any problems, however when I get the third site up, I can get to it through port 443, in other words, if I use https://domain3.com it works, if I go to http://domain3 (no ssl) I get; Bad request! Your browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. <snip> Unfortunately, the apache error_log doesn't give me anything useful. I have 'wiped out' all the sites and I going to start fresh by first adding domain3 (the ssl site) and add the others afterwards. Any help is most welcomed. ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] in case your Yast printer module crashes (10.1) [SOLVED]
by Carlos F Lange 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

Hi, I just noticed last week that all my 64 bit machines with 10.1 (and also from a colleague) stopped running "yast2 printer". The module crashes while building the database. I reported the bug here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254749 Apparently it is related to another bug from 10.2 beta that was fixed at 10.2 release, but it looks like they won't fix it for 10.1-64b (32 bit seems to be unaffected). So, I just wanted to post the simple solution here: delete the file /var/lib/YaST2/ppd_db.ycp and start yast2 printer again Cheers, Carlos FL -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ADP94xx
by andreas.lorenz＠gmail.com 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

I have the same problem using the adp94xx driver on my supermicro X7DA3. I would like to use it without raid. So I tried to compile the module as described in this thread:http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=25082 BUT I get the error that scsi_request.h is missing. (And therefore some other stuff..) When I try to remove scsi_request.h from the source as was suggested for the raid driver the driver still does not compile as it is missing sr_magic in scsi_cmnd.... Did anyone sucessfully compile the driver under Opensuse 10.2? (default kernel) I tried also the raid driver, but then I get an alarm on all empty drive bays...If this can be solved then I could probably also use the raid driver... Would be thankfull for any help!! ude6 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how do use slow remote yast repositry on FTP server?
by Zhang Weiwu 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

The subject was a bit unclear: my situation is: There are only two public yast source repository known in China and one of them is broken (trying to reach the responsible person) the other set up by us (ftp://opensuse.realss.cn/opensuse/) I have a SuSE 10.2 installation, remote yast source code repository is set to opensuse.realss.cn. The client and server connection is not fast (5KB/s) but that's the fastest yast source repository this client can reach. Problem: we cannot install any software that has several magebytes. Usually it goes like this: after several hours the software is fully downloaded (progress of download reach 100%) and, I got a message "Curl error for: ftp://opensuse.realss.cn/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/python-opengl-2.0.1.09-49.i586.rpm: Error code: Timeout reached Error message: Callback aborted I guess the reason could be, that for ftp there is a control connnection and data connection, perhaps control connection is broken because idle for too long time (to wait for data connection) and when data connection finishes, curl cannot return to control connection, thus this problem. I have no clue on how we can solve it: perhaps we can customize curl to behave differently? perhaps we can adjust vsftpd server, customize it to never drop control connection too easily? I am still digging into documents. But as we are business I don't have that much time RTFM (though I very like to RTFM when I have time). It would be great if some drop some lines of direct helpful message:) -- Zhang Weiwu Real Softservice http://www.realss.com +86 592 2091112 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] NFS client via null modem cable
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

Want to connect my Suse 10.2 with my DOS computer via a serial null modem cable. I have a DOS program which runs as a NFS server with the address 192.168.1.3 Believe it will work. Name of the program SOSS Problem starts at the Suse box. I would have to tell the box that it is 192.168.1.1 (done) and that the NFS client has to work via the com 1 port with a speed of 115200. (not yet done) According to README txt it would work if I follow the instructions as follows: insmod slhc ##not needed if kernel already has slip capability insmod slip ##not needed if kernel already has slip capability slattach -dvs 115200 -p slip /dev/cua0 & ifconfig sl0 192.168.1.1 pointopoint 192.168.1.3 route add 192.168.1.3 These instructions got me in trouble. Several error messages and up to now it still does work. Anybody with an idea how to connect? Think I have to make manually a NFS client etc. -- +=========================================+ | Powered by openSUSE 10.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.18.8-0.1-default | KDE: 3.5.5 "release 45.2" | 9:23pm up 0:44, 3 users, load average: 0.59, 0.38, 0.45 | +=========================================+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
