This thread definitely qualifies as a zombie 'cause it just won't die. It's not pure enough to be a "born-again" thread and it hasn't sucked any blood so it isn't an "undead".

by David C. Rankin 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

List, Sandy, I have one user in Plano that needs to relay mail outbound from/across my server. He has an account on the server and comes in from a fixed IP. How can I configure postfix to allow this user to send mail outbound from my server? Thanks! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] KDE4 Remoting: Fantastic!
by Jerry Houston 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

I use remote desktop connections all the time at work, because we're commercial Windows software developers. At home, however, I've always used a rather clumsy KVM switch to change from my Linux hardware to my Windows hardware. One of the disappointments has been that doing so switched the audio output as well, interrupting whatever I was listening to whenever I've needed to work with both machines. Recently curiosity got the best of me, and I tried the new KDE4 remoting component. (Until I did, I didn't realize it would work with an RDP connection as well.) I set up a connection to my XP-Pro machine in an unused KDE desktop, and it's worked flawlessly. Now I can change from Linux session to XP-Pro session with a single mouse click, making it much easier to work with both machines at the same time - which I often do. Furthermore, it supports bringing the remote audio to the local machine, so I can start Windows Media Player and select an album I want to hear, and can listen without interruption as I change from one session to the other. I'm really impressed. If I don't encounter any problems with it, I'm thinking of getting rid of the KVM entirely, and clearing up the clutter on my desk. I thought some others here might appreciate knowing about it as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Keyboard input not working in one KDE account.
by Bruce Samhaber 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi, I have SUSE 10.1 installed on a machine that has one user accoun that no longer gets keyboard input. I rebooted the machine to thinking that it was a bad keyboard but the replacement keyboard worked to log into the account but does not work once in the account. I logged out of the account and into another user account and the keyboard works just fine in the other account. Back to the first account and it still only allows me to log into the account but does not receive keyboard intput once logged in. This account uses the KDEwallet tool for password authentication. I tried to type in a terminal window and still no keyboard input. This account is really stuck because once the screensaver kicks in with password protection it can not be logged back into. I am able to remotely access the system and the user account, access the file system for the troubled user. But I do not know what to do to fix the problem. The problem just started yesterday as the machine was left with the screensaver on (Clock) and we were away from the machine for a few hours then when we came back it was locked-up. The applications that were open were Kontact, Konquerer, Firefox. Any suggestions on how to fix this will be appreciated.

Actually it is. Viruses can stay dormant for centuries. This is why NO soil from the mid-east is allowed to come home with American soldiers... Hoof and Mouth disease contamination is all over the place... even places that are currently out "in the middle of nowhere"... if a beduin tribe camped there one night 300 years ago, there's a good chance of viable Hoof & Mouth viruses still being in the soild today.
