[opensuse] Has anybody a cyradm (admin tool for cyrus IMAP server) with a working history on openSUSE?
by Uwe Galle 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

Hi, my cyradm has the very annoying property to not support the history with the cursor keys. One user posted that issue already on a website (http://www.ureader.de/msg/12011140.aspx, german) and claimed to have had a cyradm without that problem in the past. This website shows no solution. The user thought that perhaps the underlying shell could be the problem so I guess that the distribution can be a reason. The README.SuSE contains no hints. Does anybody know how to teach cyradm to have a history and support the usual history functions? Thanks.

[opensuse] openSUSE-11rc1 and pulseaudio (and mythtv)
by Frank Fiene 15 Jun '08

15 Jun '08

Has someone tested openSUSE-11 with more than one soundcard? I wanted to work with my 5.1 Terratec Aureon but with speaker-test there comes an error of pulseaudio and something like connection refused! I found a file /etc/asoundrc with the configuration of pulseaudio for alsa, so my first thought was: a new soundsystem! What the hell is pulseaudio? The only thing i've heard about it is that mythtv doesn't work with it. So why to integrate a non working soundsystem into a distribution? During deletion esound was installed and everything works fine with my old .asoundrc. Puhh Of course i want to have the standard setup running, so maybe someone has experiences with pulseaudio!?

My roommate would like to review his class through a set of DVDs on my SuSE 10.3 laptop I tried Real Player and Coffeine but none of them works. Real Player does not have the proper plug-ins Coffeine asks for the COder and opens up an OpenSUSE official site from where I am supposed to download something but I really am lost. Can someone help me, please ? Please, answer to: maura.monville(a)gmail.com Thank you so much.

Cake in this case are the privileges. See 'enable privileges' from the smb.conf man page. http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/rights.html is worth getting read too. In particular the section 'Rights Management Capabilities'. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

[opensuse] Script problem
by Rikard Johnels 14 Jun '08

14 Jun '08

Hello all! I am (unsuccessfully) trying to arrange the usermod and permissions on some 5.000 folders and 20.000 files. (My music collection) I cant for my life compose a script that: a. Will set all directories to chmod 755 b, will set all regular files to perm 644 i tried a fairly simple script: #!/bin/sh ls -R * | while read f do echo $f if [ -f $f ]; then chmod 644 $f fi done the layout of the files is something like the following: /1_sort/Bon Jovi/Crossroads (Best of 84-94) Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 01 - Livin' On A Prayer.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 02 - Keep The Faith.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 03 - Someday I'll Be Saturday Night.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 04 - Always.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 05 - Wanted Dead Or Alive.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 06 - Lay Your Hands On Me.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 07 - You Give Love A Bad Name.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 08 - Bed Of Roses.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 09 - Blaze Of Glory.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 10 - In These Arms.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 11 - Bad Medicine.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 12 - I'll Be There For You.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 13 - In & Out Of Love.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 14 - Runaway.mp3 Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 15 - Never Say Goodbye.mp3 But running the script yields: chmod: cannot access `$f': No such file or directory 1_Sort_me/Bon Jovi/Crossroads (Best of 84-94): -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 01 - Livin' On A Prayer.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 02 - Keep The Faith.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 03 - Someday I'll Be Saturday Night.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 04 - Always.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 05 - Wanted Dead Or Alive.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 06 - Lay Your Hands On Me.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 07 - You Give Love A Bad Name.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 08 - Bed Of Roses.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 09 - Blaze Of Glory.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 10 - In These Arms.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 11 - Bad Medicine.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 12 - I'll Be There For You.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 13 - In & Out Of Love.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 14 - Runaway.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Crossroad (best of 84-94) - 15 - Never Say Goodbye.mp3 -bash: [: too many arguments Can anyone tell me what i do wrong, and how to write it properly?

[opensuse] Security with SAMBA as PDC ?
by Andreas 14 Jun '08

14 Jun '08

Hi, to use SAMBA as PDC for a Windows-Domain it needs an administrative user on the server to create machine- and user-accounts for the clients. Obviously root could do this. Here is the issue that the on site maintenance of client pcs and users is done by an assistant who shouldn't get access to everything on the file server. So I can't give him root credentials or even let him execute passwd. Even if I prepared some user- and machine- accounts he still needs the administrative user to le those client-pcs join the domain. How can I have cake and eat it?
