[opensuse] Setting up Posftix/Cyrus/imap on oS 11.2
by Jim Flanagan 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi all, I'm in the process of setting up my new email server on oS 11.2. Clean default install. Basic setup is Postfix/Cyrus/Saslauth/Pam I followed my previous setup closely, but setting up Thunderbird for one user gives an error "You cannot log in to localhost because the server doesn't allow plain text authentication without STARTTLS or SSL/TLS. Try enabling connection security or secure authentication in the account settings. But I believe I have everything set up to allow plain text authentication. I would like to make sure all is working right before I set up the certs for SSL/TLS. Sure would appreciate any help on this. Below is what I've done and tested so far.......... Running telnet shows the following: user@linux-8hun:~> telnet localhost 25 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 jimmee.local ESMTP Postfix ehlo clientname 250-jimmee.local 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN Note the above includes AUTH LOGIN PLAIN, but not AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN. Not sure how or where to adjust this, if it is pertinent. I'm just trying to auth with local users, using one domain. Running testsaslauuthd reports success for both smtp and imap: user@linux-8hun:~> testsaslauthd -u user -p password -s smtp 0: OK "Success." user@linux-8hun:~> testsaslauthd -u user -p password -s imap 0: OK "Success."

[opensuse] Help with kernel compilation
by Catimimi 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi, When I clone the kernel config and compile it, I get a 921 Mo kernel while the original kernel is only 95 Mo ! Caan someone tell me which options I have to use in order to get such a light kernel ? Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] kernel-syms dependencies in 11.2
by Istvan Gabor 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hello: Occasionally I have to build kernel modules. For this in earlier SUSE versions (up to 10.3) kernel-source and kernel-syms packages had to be installed. In 11.2 if I select kernel-syms for installation the following packages are also selected automatically: kernel-debug-devel kernel-default-devel kernel-desktop-devel kernel-pae-devel kernel-xen-devel I can understand that kernel-default-devel is selected, as I have default kernel, but why the remaining packages have to be installed? For me it seems to be nonsense. I do not want those additional packages.

[opensuse] 11.2 - what was the reasoning behind disabling sshd by default?
by Per Jessen 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

It does seem pretty odd - why do I have to explicitly enable ssh during installation? In previous releases, sshd was always active. To anyone with more than one box, sshd is a must - to anyone with only one box, it doesn't do any harm. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, stuttering sound on a HP Pavillion was solved by adding a parameter to a /etc/modprobe.d-file...

[opensuse] Determining where to place GRUB in the v11.2 installer
by Stan Goodman 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

In previous installations (v10.0, 10.3, 11.1) I have been able easily to have GRUB located in the / partition of the system being installed. I am having much more confusion in the case of 11.2, because there is now an entire page devoted to how to boot; it is much more detailed and without explanatory text, and the "help" offered, such as it is, is rudimentary. The result is that my first attempt mistakenly put GRUB in the MBR, which is very clumsy in the way my computer is arranged. I should not have to undo this mistake after the installation. Is there an an expanded explanation of this page somewhere, so I can see how to do this right? -- 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

This list and the archives at lists.opensuse.org seems to go off line every week end of late. Is this an austerity measure? Is this a planned maintenance period?
