[opensuse] openSUSE windows Active Directory and OU=
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

I have an openSUSE 11.x machine that has joined the local Windows Active Directory. It is working great. Windows folk can log in and a $HOME is made on the fly if it does not exist. But you knew there would be more... We have thousands of users in the Active Directory. I really do not want all of them to have access. In the LDAP entry, there is a OU= field for those I want to be able to log in. Is it possible to limit login to those in some specified OU= ? I set this up in YaST, and did not see anything there related to this. Perhaps it is something I should add to the smb.conf file? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] rpmbuild in 11.2 vs 11.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

The rpm command I used in the past (up to and including 11.1) no longer works. I am not sure what the change is. I build rpms from an alternate directory. This is mainly so I do not need to deal with permissions in the system-wide place. My command is: rpmbuild --define "_topdir /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm" \ --define _rpmfilename %%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{ARCH}.rpm \ --quiet \ -bb \ --rmspec /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/RSofT_Convert.spec /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm is the alternate directory. I get a message that this file cannot be found: /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm/BUILDROOT/RSofT_Convert-18.00-18.00.i386/home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm/RSofT_Convert-18.00.tgz It seems the odd part is the /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm/BUILDROOT/RSofT_Convert-18.00-18.00.i386 at the start. This worked in 11.1. Any clue where to start looking?

The MailTo was set properly. I instead changed /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf and added 'Print = No' as this is how it is set in my install of oS11 which works. I tested it out and got the e-mail.

[opensuse] Color Laserjet only prints in monochrome under openSUSE 11.2, but worked fine in 11.1
by Adam Jimerson 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

I have a Samsung CLP-315 and using the foo2qpdl driver I was able to get it to work color in all under openSUSE 11.1, but now after installing openSUSE 11.2 it only prints in monochrome. I have tried to grab the latest driver and install it but that doesn't change anything. What else could cause this short of the driver being incompatible with the version of CUPS openSUSE 11.2. Notice before someone brings it up, yes it has color toner everything works fine in windows. -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."

[opensuse] openSUSE ad membership
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

I have joined an openSUSE machine to the local active directory. That is working fine. I can log in via ssh using my AD user/password, and the user account was created. It works fine. The openSUSE machine has been rebooted, and KDM no longer works. I see this in /var/log/messages: kdm_greet[4854]: GreeterPlugin winbind does not exist and the message on the console is "No greeter widget plugin loaded". I have this RPM installed: samba-winbind-3.4.2-1.1.3.1.i586 I did a verification, and rpm tells that the config file is altered, which makes sense. I do not see anything about this in bugzilla. I have two options: (1) find the missing bits and get them into place, or (2) disable the winbind login stuff. I set this up in YaST. I do not see an option to disable the AD membership in YaST. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] Installer bug into OpenSuSE 11.2
by Claudio Prono 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hi to all, I don't know if this bug is also in other versions of OpenSuSE, i have found it only today. The bug is related to the fdisk part of the installer. If i choose to delete a partition is already mounted on my system, the installer when try to start the installation says "unable to delete partition /dev/devicename" and exits. A good improvement of that is a routine that checks if any partition is already mounted by the user during the installation process, and if that partition can't be modified because is already mounted, the installer prompt to the user if he wants to umount that.

[opensuse] iptables / ip_conntrack Module memory usage?
by Ben Rosenberg 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hello all, I am GTMFing about how much memory the ip_conntrack module is taking in order to maintain the table. I'm not sure how to find out what I can move it to above the default based on the amount of memory the system has which is 1G. It's a DNS caching server so that's ALL it does but it does a lot of connections and has a really, really huge iptables rules set. When I do an lsmod I see this .. ip_conntrack 20672 2 [ipt_state iptable_nat] The 20672 is under size .. is this module taking 20M of ram or am I reading this wrong? Any one know what it would be safe to up the table size too? The default is 65520 and the server doesn't seem to be lacking available ram. Would it be a good idea to double this?

[opensuse] Logwatch mail on oS11.2

How does one get the system to send out logwatch e-mail. Logwatch was installed this past Saturday and I still have not recieved any mail. Postfix works fine delivering mail in Maildir format, chkconfig says cron is running. I ran the logwatch script on the command line and it works fine. I'm outta my wits as to what to check.

[opensuse] Extranet cannot access
by tianyb 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hello everyone, To dial up through dsl, I installed rp-pppoe-3.10.tar.gz in my openSUSE 11.2, since it never took effect, I unintalled (simply removed it) it afterwards. However, after uninstalling it, the extranet becomes unavalable, the ip address it auto fetches is 192.168.1.*. It seems the intranet is avalable because it can visit the router administration pages. I don't know what causes this problem, how to repair the network settings? Thanks.
