[opensuse] OpenSwan or StrongSwan ???
by Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi! Anyone can tell what is actual difference between these two? Is StrongSwan really more secure then OpenSwan, or is just another fork of FreeSwan? Basically I'am need to setup VPN between several locations (offices), so all subnets will see each other (act as one large net),plus several mobile workers which move around the world. Any suggestion(s) are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] external hard disk problem in 20008
by ivo.linux 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

I have an external hard disk (e-hd) ntfs disk 500gb, I would keep ntfs file system but I have problem to write it with opensuse 11. Initially opensuse mount the e-hd with read permission, I used the GUI ntfs-config to enable the write access. As result i obtained that now user can not mount the e-hd (it require root privilegges ). I have edited fstab as followed reported but without any effects (it require root privilegges ). well my question is how I can set a user mount with write permission for my ntfs external disk Thanks #Highlighted # line added by ntfs-config /dev/sdc1 /media/ebox ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,locale=it_IT.UTF-8,force 0 0 # line added by me /dev/sdc1 /media/ebox ntfs-3g auto,defaults,rw,users,locale=it_IT.UTF-8 0 0 #my fstab proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6L250R0_L50YRVAH-part5 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6L250R0_L50YRVAH-part6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sdc1 /media/ebox ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,locale=it_IT.UTF-8,force 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6Y160P0_Y461FP9E-part5 /windows/C ntfs-3g defaults,rw,users,locale=it_IT.UTF-8 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6Y160P0_Y461FP9E-part2 /windows/D vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6L250R0_L50YRVAH-part8 /windows/E vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6L250R0_L50YRVAH-part7 swap swap defaults 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 /sys/bus/usb/drivers /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=664,devgid=110 0 0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSuSE 11.0 Beta 5
by Donn Washburn 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey Group; Open SuSE 11.0 Beta 5 from a downloaded DVD is a pain. KDE4.1 is very incomplete and just about worth going to fvwm2. KDE4.1 seems to miss guess the audio on this system (correct - NVidia AC97). And KDE4.1 lacks the ability to easily add icons and apps to th desktop. That was real easy in 3.5. Amarok and kwintv fail to work. Some programs even cause "sig 11" problems. And so far zypper dup seems to only want to downgrade packages. Oh yes gstreamer is the cause of the miss guessed audio problem or at least it shows up when exiting X. - -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)windstream.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkvNqMACgkQlSm9Y/Rhzd7uwQCcC6kEhMiTIq3yrmlx1VQrqie9 wBcAn1L5VG22ov7wucKTY+RgZg2ZmDHu =dszI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Trouble with Truecrypt and fusermount
by Sonny Hughes 29 Nov '08

29 Nov '08

I recently installed the latest version of Truecrypt on my SUSE 11.0 system. Truecrypt seems to be working OK, at least in part. I can create an encrypted file or device (USB stick) that will mount perfectly on an XP system. I have been unable to get any Truecrypt device or file to mount on my SUSE machine. Instead of mounting I get : "fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted" Now I've run this as a regular user. I've tried it as root. I've uninstalled the fuse package and reinstalled it by compiling from source. I've uninstalled Truecrypt and recompiled it from source. I always get the same error. The /dev/fuse device is there and the permissions look right. The fusermount utility is there and installed with the setUID bit turned ON. So far I haven't been able to find any more meaningful error in dmesg or in /var/log/message. It's got to be something simple to fix, I just can't find it. Any ideas would be appreciated Thanks and Regards! -- Sonny Hughes, CISSP, PMP Prattville, AL --------------------------------------------------------------- Oderint dum metuant -Caligula -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Bob S 29 Nov '08

29 Nov '08

Hello SuSE people, No answer on my last request so I'll state the problem differently this time. My Grub bootup menu is different ( many less entries) than the bootloader menu as shown in Yast. Why? How can I fix it ? Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Brother printer drivers (rpm) and SuSE
by Stan Goodman 29 Nov '08

29 Nov '08

I have bought a new Brother printer (MFC-465nc). In trying to install it through YaST, I find that this model number is not in the list of recognized printers. But the Brother Linux site has a set of drivers for the print, fax, and scanner functions; all these are downloadable in the form of RPMs. There is no indication of whether these files are Red-Hat RPMs or SuSE RPMs, or whether they are suitable for both distributions (agnostic? ambidextrous?) Can I install these drivers in my openSuSE v10.3 system? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
