[SuSE Linux] Modem Woes
by rbaguer＠freenet.columbus.oh.us 29 Nov '98

29 Nov '98

Hello all... I am currently running SuSE 5.3 & Win95 on the same machine. The modem I got with the computer is a 56k PnP that is on COM3 using IRQ 3. I have a PnP SoundBlaster on IRQ 5. The soundblaster works under Win & Linux. The modem only works under Win. Desperate for internet under linux, I insatlled an IBM 28.8 modem on COM4 (/dev/cua3). Using setserial, I changed the IRQ on the 28.8 from 3 to 4. When I run minicom, under any /dev/cuax or /dev/ttySx, I get the famous no-input term screen (that is, I cannot type anything, indicating it is not finding a modem). So I'm stuck at that point. But here is where it gets weird. If I run xminicom, it is extremely slow and sluggish but will let me issue at commands, and will connect to another computer. This has befuddled me. What I would like to do is run both of the OS'es off of the 56k, but at the very least I would like to run the 56k PnP off Win95 and use the 28.8 for linux. Am I getting an IRQ conflict preventing me from using the 28.8? I have previously tested this modem and used it a lot on RH5.1 ... Help me -- I've got a great new box but until I can get internet on linux, I am stuck in win95 (as the internet is my bread n butter)...

[SuSE Linux] S.u.S.e. 5.3 install / upgrade
by pmoon＠mindspring.com 28 Nov '98

28 Nov '98

Hello, The linux half of my system is running on an NCR 53C810 scsi controller. I found when I went to do an upgrade to my 5.2 SuSe install that the only NCR scsi driver module in the new setup was the BSD driver. Which when trying to pole my second scsi device ((/dev/sda2) a Creative CD Wrirter) hangs the scsi bus, preventing me from being able to continue and mount the first scsi device (/dev/sda1) my root partition. This was not a problem when I could just choose the old NCR 53c7,8xx driver. Is there a work around using the BSD module? Is there a parameter I can pass the make the writer accessable or ignored to the BSD driver at least to get me through the upgrade install? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

[SuSE Linux] News & e-mail reader
by chris＠usma.demon.co.uk 28 Nov '98

28 Nov '98

As others have said, one of the major applications I would miss by moving to Linux totally would be Agent. A couple of questions: Why is this about the only combined news & e-mail reader? I don't want to have separate packages for these functions, and as they are basically the same type of task, what's the big deal? I want to be able to respond directly to newsgroup articles, or to respond to their authors by e-mail. Agent allows me to do this from one screen. Secondly, as I understand it, development on Agent has stopped. Is there any chance someone might take it off Forte's hands, and do a Linux version? I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of others. -- Chris Keenan - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I basically would agree with the comments below - I've tinkered with Linux for a year or two, and have been highly motivated to do so - yet I still battle at times, and there is so much I still do not know. I use Linux purely because of its reliability and flexibility to do things that I need to do with the Internet. If it takes me hours of fiddling to find out how to do what I want, its worth it because once I figure it out and get it working I know it will keep on working.... And yet I sit in a situation where I have 60 users on both Win 3.11 and Win 95, who constantly badger me because they've lost the network printer, or in MSWord the toolbar they need has disappeared, or somone over the weekend has been fiddling with control panel, have read their email, or have installed virus-infected games etc etc.. So Windows users can also get themselves into a whole lot of trouble. I work with journalists who basically use the PC as a glorified typewriter (some of them would dearly like to go back to a typewriter!) and now that I've seen KDE, I really wonder if - in my situation - it might be worth setting them up with a system that will hopefully give less problems when there's a glitch with the network, and where I can give them a simple text editor etc - and give them their own personal login/privacy - but where they perhaps can't really get themselves into quite the same trouble as with Windows.... ? Or should I wait another year or two....?

Perhaps in a few more years, but not at present. Too easy to get themselves in trouble with their system and totally lost. Also, they'd tend to become discouraged by the learning curve as well as lack of software titles available "off the shelf". You'd be getting calls about "WHY can't I run this new neat-o-keen 3D packman game I just bought"... Now as a SECONDARY OS, I'd recommend linux with the caution about the learning curve. Let them see the super easy idiot OS of windows and a REAL OS operating in their native modes.

Hi Samy: I'm already thinking along the lines you suggest. I've also just inherited two 486 dx2 66mHz servers with about 16 Gb of scsi drive on each. From my NT workstation, using Samba, I can access the drives on the server from NT so fast you'd think they were local drives....... I was also impressed by the fact that a relative newbie like myself - who has never even seen a scsi drive/adapter before - could get the system all setup and running with very few problems (using Redhat 5) I suspect SuSE would be as easy, with the added advantage of YaST to 'hold my hand' and enable me to do an even better job. (Formatting and partitioning of the 4 HD's took a while - but the system and all the applications installed in about 15 Minutes!! ) What about the idea of using old PC's as terminals to run Applixware, say, from a server...? Could a 386 be fast enough as an X terminal? I imagine the server have to be something faster than the above? We're tripping over all our old 386's... In the African context, a lot of our partner broadcasters in the surrounding countries have very few computer resources - The Zambian Broadcasting Corporation has two 486's - one of which is connected to the Internet (and is locked in the Director Generals office!) Malawi Broadcasting Corporation has no pc's at all. We'd really like to get these guys into a position where they can do simple audio recording/editing on a PC then exchange files - either Real Audio or Mpeg3 - with us over the Internet. If this sort of thing was practical on 386's and 486's, then we'd be a lot more likely to be able to accomodate them at low cost. (With the average exchange rate-to the Dollar these days, a reasonable Pentium system is likely to cost about as much as a luxury house in Lusaka ) Even without a GUI, Linux should be useable for sampling and encoding audio, and transfers via FTP could be automated very easily. (I'm busy experimenting - and would welcome any suggestions re. Linux audio software) Incidentally - you'd laugh if you ever saw the demo's I give to some 'professional broadcasters...' I had two from Norway the other day - I was telling them how you can use an ordinary PC, a cheap soundcard and Cool-edit to do "professional quality audio" - they thought I was a total A***hole.... (it was written all across their faces!) until we took them into the studio, and on our R1 000 000-00 system played them a file that one of our Journalists had recorded and edited at home on his 200 mHz P1 "Chinese Special" , then uploaded via HTTP using Genesis and an HTML form on our webpages. They listened to the stuff and were struck dumb - they couldn't fault it! Tee Hee....! (Quite made my day....!)

[SuSE Linux] WordPerfect 8 is coming and other notes
by mperry＠basin.com 28 Nov '98

28 Nov '98

I visited corel's web site and they will be offering the full version of Corel WordPerfect 8 for a low price of $50. This seems like a great deal and rounds out what I need to move off of NT. With applixware 4.4.1 reading adabas D files, using qddb to support a few smaller databases, SO 5 as a backup, and wordperfect 8, I think I can consider moving from NT and freeing up all that wasted disk space. As a matter of interest, one can attach to a adabas D database quite easily using applix 4.4.1. This means that one has a gui tool to build queries and other stuff against a complex data source. This is quite cool. Thanks to Rolf at suse for the web site. If you want to see how easy it is, drop me an email and I can send the url along. Now if I can find some manuals and howto's on the art of building simple to medium adabas databases, I am getting closer to whatever goal I want to reach. I know there is a mailing list for adabas D. The list first appeared primarily in German. Are there english posters to the list? Since I am talking applications, applix has released new filters for office97 on the errata portion of their website. If you are wanting to build small database applications and want a gui tool, consider qddb from hsdi. They are at www.hsdi.com/qddb. They provide all their database tools in rpm format. One other thing since I am kind of wandering here, is that filerunner makes a really nice file manager. It does ftp, nice management approaches, etc. I use tkdesk as my only application selector and it shines far beyond tkdesk's file manager. Filerunner also has a rather unusual configuration routine. This is one nice file manager which is simple and complex at the same time. A version exists on suse's 5.3 distro. I like compiling things though.

[SuSE Linux] ld.so.conf versus ld.so.conf.in
by zentara＠mindspring.com 27 Nov '98

27 Nov '98

Hi, I'm using a patched up, and upgraded 5.1 distribution, and that may be the source of my problem. My /etc/ld.so.conf.in dosn't seem to be added to the ld.so.cache. Following the warning in ld.so.conf not to edit it, instead to edit ld.so.conf.in, the entries in ld.so.conf.in don't seem to be added to ld.so.cache I've entered the ldconfig command and even rebooted, but the only way to get the libraries in is to copy the entries from ld.so.conf.in to ld.so.conf. What's the deal? Do I have this problem because I'm using a patched 5.1 distribution? Is there some potential conflict possible with dumping all the entries into the ld.so.conf file? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] Netscape Problem
by wmmvdwee＠hawedo.com 27 Nov '98

Hi, I just installed SuSe 5.3. When I start HELP under Xwindow Netscape shows the SUSE help startpage delivered with this distribution, without any problem, but when I start Netscape from tools, the desktop background color of Xwindows becomes like snow, all kind of colours, and the background color of Netscape is black, when I put my mousepointer over Netscape it turns in the normal color, and Netscape hangs. Does anyone know the problem here? Any help suggestions wellcome. Rgds Wil - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] Major problem ?
by mavlj＠csv.warwick.ac.uk 27 Nov '98

27 Nov '98

I am trying to make linux make a noise. I have been following the SDB and it all seems to work well but (this is a totally separate thing) when recompiling the kernel to load sound support as a module the command "make zimage" returns the following: "make:*** no rule to make target 'zimage'.Stop." Is this a big problem? and how can I rectify it? Also I have another problem in that I can't print from KDE and don't know where to find out how to. A final annoyance is that when printing postscript documents they are printed a cm down the page and so the bottom line and a half is missed off. How can I correct this? The answers to any of these would be greatly appreciated as I have only been using linux about a month.

If you can, you should try to set your X-windows to use more than 16 colours. I think, this is what might cause the problem. Just 256 colours should do. (8-bit colours) I don't know whether this has anything to do with Netscape hanging, but your colour trouble should be fixed.

[SuSE Linux] glibc2 and StarOffice revisited
by serguei＠errc.org 27 Nov '98

27 Nov '98

Hello, I went through archive on the glibc2/StarOffice issue and I tried to take all of the postings into consideration while installing it, but still, the first installation screen would freeze. First, I made sure that the older glibc, bundled with SuSE 5.3, was not installed. Then I run . ./soprep from the office installation directory, putting glibc2 into the Office default directory (opt/Office50/lib) Then I modified ld.co.conf to include the path above Then I run ldconfig. I even run SuSEconfig just in case Then I tried to run ./setup from office50_inst. The last message I'd see in the xterm window would be that the window manager didn't specify icon sizes, and the program would use default. Then the installation screen would come up and everything would freeze. What is it that I'm omitting? I have high color on my display, could it possibly be because of that? I'd very much appreciate if someone would help me out. Thanks, Serguei - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Have you set $MOZILLA_HOME to your Netscape directory? If you have that, you shouldn't need $CLASSPATH. Netscape will look in $MOZILLA_HOME/java/classes for the required file.

Just about anything can be used offline if you set up a local newsserver on your own machine. CNews and INN both come with SuSE. I use INN and fetch my articles with slurp, although there are other choices of programs to fetch news as well - suck, which has killfile abilities, newsx etc. I use Tin to read news, configured as an NNTP reader connecting to localhost as my newsserver. I don't know of any Linux app that allows you to download headers and subsequently fetch those you mark interesting, although someone else might, but in practice I find downloading everything in my subscribed groups and selecting which I read offline quicker, but I'm only subscribed to 20-odd groups fetching about 1000 articles a day. Very rarely does my online time to download news exceed the BT minimum call charge. Standard disclaimers apply though (YMMV etc). Pine will handle both mail and news, although I haven't used it as a newsreader, preferring Tin which I have been using for several years. Much nicer now I'm running it in colour under Linux too :) > >The thing about Linux is that you just don't have allot of monolithic apps > >that combine functions as much as you do on Doze. Snip philosophy with which I entirely agree. > I have to agree with you in principle, but I still think mail & news > are natural bedfellows! There are some crossovers, but on the whole they are completely different protocols. I have to say that IMO many of the combined mail and newsreaders available under Windoze make it far to easy for users to do stupid things like posting MIME or HTML encoded articles to usenet, where they are generally unwelcome. But with Linux anyway you can have your newsreader open on one virtual screen or console, and your mailer running on another - far easier to switch between them than going in and out of various screens wihin a single combine app. Phil -- Philip Stokes Email: phil(a)stokes.demon.co.uk Fax: +44 (0)870 164 1242 - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Hi! This is a terminal server version of NT I guess, there are a buch of clients so you can log on to the server with almost evry OS. Then it looks like you're working on a Windoos NT Workstation. I don't know if there are Linux-clients, but you also can log on using a NC. And then you can use 32-bit Win applications.

Just a thought when 4.5 first became available Netscape mistakenly placed the glibc version under the libc5 directory tree. I found this version to be very unstable with S.u.S.E. When this was replaced with the libc5 version, I use now things seem fairly solid. If your having problems with Netscape 4.5 try typing "ldd /opt/netscape/netscape", if it shows libc.so.6, get the libc5 version. -- Regards Jo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For greater stability - Linux FreeBSD Unix.

The federal prosecutor mentioned a few days before the deal that if AOL didn't switch to Netscape and kept IE, than that is more than enough to prove that Microsoft has a monopoly in the browser market. I think AOL wants to keep IE not for its technical merits but to keep the antitrust case alive, and Case had trumpeted the decision as wanting to keep IE so AOL could stay on the desktop in return. Undoubtedly, Microsoft will call the whole issue into account.

[SuSE Linux] Problems with Video Card
by Paul.Abraham＠infinit.co.uk 26 Nov '98

26 Nov '98

I have installed SuSE Linux 5.3 over the last couple of evenings and everything seems to work OK. The only exception, however, is that the video card that I have does not seem to be supported. The card itself is an ASUS AGP-V2740. It appears on the SaX menu for video cards, but clicking it says that no driver exists for it. Does anyone have any idea where I can get one? I don't have WWW access, which I guess limits my choices a bit. Alternatively, can anyone tell me what settings I can use on SaX to get the card working? I am currently using VGA16 640x480 4 bit, which is fine but slightly chunky on my Iiyama S702GT 17inch monitor. Any help would be appreciated.

Although dos only supports 4 PRIMARY partitions, Linux does not have to be one of them. You can install and boot from linux from an extended partition. I have my config like this... Primary partition 1 - Dos 200M Primary Partition 2 - Win95 1000M Primary Partition 3 - Winnt 500M Extended 1 - Linux root 600M Extended 2 - Linux /usr directory 500M Extended 3 - Linux /storage directory 500M Hard drive 2 Primary Linux /data 2000M The advantage of splitting up the partitions is for performance, but this increase will not be very much unless the different partitions are on different physical hard disks. Also splitting up to diff partitions means that you can unmount them and defrag when needed.

[SuSE Linux] Real Audio Player ver 5.0 - SuSE 5.3 ....... Problem

26 Nov '98

I'd be grateful for suggestions.... I'm using SuSE 5.3, and I've installed Real Audio Player Linux (gold) ver 5.0 (5.0.0.45) and it works .... some of the time..... e.g. If I access the file: <A HREF="http://www.wrn.org/audio/1130l.ram"><A HREF="http://www.wrn.org/audio/1130l.ram</A">http://www.wrn.org/audio/1130l.ram</A</A>> .....from a server in London, UK, it plays fine. But the *identical* file played from a server in Johannesburg, South Africa: <A HREF="http://www.channelafrica.org/ra/1130l.ram"><A HREF="http://www.channelafrica.org/ra/1130l.ram</A">http://www.channelafrica.org/ra/1130l.ram</A</A>> ....will NOT play (I get the title, author text etc but no audio) In fact I can't seem to play any audio-only files. This suggested to me a problem with the Real Audio server in in Johannesburg, and yet a video/audio file: <A HREF="http://www.channelafrica.org/ra/video.ram"><A HREF="http://www.channelafrica.org/ra/video.ram</A">http://www.channelafrica.org/ra/video.ram</A</A>> (accessed from <A HREF="http://www.channelafrica.org/ra/video.shtml"><A HREF="http://www.channelafrica.org/ra/video.shtml</A">http://www.channelafrica.org/ra/video.shtml</A</A>>) ....from the same server also plays fine!

It has an Adaptec 7860 with a CDROM and Tape drive, and an Adaptec 7880 controller which currently has no drives connected. At first, the machine would crash until I disabled the 7880 controller (wasn't needed in this case). Getting a Kernel built that would support the RAID controller was not my idea of fun, but after about 30 hours trying lots of different things, I managed to get a Kernel built and to boot up while recognising the CDROM drive AND the RAID drive. SuSE installed fine after that. If anyone needs to know the details of how to do this, get in touch and I will save you some work! Now to my question...Has 2.0.36 fixed anything for SMP support? How stable is SMP for the 2.0.35 kernel which I am currently using? I have two PII processors with 256M RAM (soon to be 512M) and the MegaRAID controller must work with SMP too.

[SuSE Linux] IRQ Info
by root＠Castle.Qubits 25 Nov '98

25 Nov '98

Hi All, This mail is been sent from the KDE mail client so I hope that it is recieved Ok bcause the text is so small that I can barely see it. Another setting to find and change. Anyway I managed to figure out the apparently strange behaviour of the changing IRQ's. For those that may be interested in this effect. Booting dos without going into windows caused the modem to be initialised on com 2. Continuing into windows, caused windows to reinitialise the modem to com 3 because the modem had already been initalised on com 2, therefor com 2 was occupied. Com 3 was the next free port and irq 15 the first free irq counting down. As far as the problems with isapnp were concerned, my fault when I edited the .conf file I had included an extra right bracket on the very first identifier thinking that one was missing. So proof of the pudding so to speak. Suse all the way. Thanks for the prods and thoughts for getting me moving in the right direction.

Re: [SuSE Linux] kppd - Modem USR Modem string?

Hi Derek: Its a bit of a puzzle. I've just run a little dos diagnostics program that said the microprocessor was not responding, then when I ran it again it found no fault.. I've just booted up Win 98, and the modem works fine. Other times it doesn't respond. Perhaps USR have some diagnostics on their website - I''ll see what I can find. (I also hope to borrow another modem) In SuSE - The port (ttyS1) and irq is correct (IRQ3) and I have even been able to dial-out successfully (using kppd) - but only on one single occasion, and that was immediately after I used YaST to turn off diald - so I thought that was the cause of the problem. I'm running out of ideas - but agree it would seem to be something to do with it being a PnP modem. In Redhat - there was something about using the right description for the port.... ? I'm running out of time and patience, so may have to stay with Uncle Bills products for a while longer.... Very frustrating! Especially when SuSe is, in many other ways so wonderfully simple to setup.

I check that already...i deleted the lock file and tried again. I also tried the other serial ports and kppp freezes when i try to querry the modem.

[SuSE Linux] FW: SuSE and question about SMP support (also RAID support)
by ksullivan＠bfsec.bt.co.uk 25 Nov '98

25 Nov '98

Hi, I have just spent one hell of a weekend trying to get SuSE 5.3 to install on a machine which has a MegaRAID controller with three 9GB hard drives connected. It has an Adaptec 7860 with a CDROM and Tape drive, and an Adaptec 7880 controller which currently has no drives connected. At first, the machine would crash until I disabled the 7880 controller (wasn't needed in this case). Getting a Kernel built that would support the RAID controller was not my idea of fun, but after about 30 hours trying lots of different things, I managed to get a Kernel built and to boot up while recognising the CDROM drive AND the RAID drive. SuSE installed fine after that. If anyone needs to know the details of how to do this, get in touch and I will save you some work! Now to my question...Has 2.0.36 fixed anything for SMP support? How stable is SMP for the 2.0.35 kernel which I am currently using? I have two PII processors with 256M RAM (soon to be 512M) and the MegaRAID controller must work with SMP too. Anyone set something like this up? Kieran P.S. Any ideas how to re-create the setup floppy disk that comes with SuSE 5.3? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Check <A HREF="http://www.suse.de/cdb/english/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.de/cdb/english/</A">http://www.suse.de/cdb/english/</A</A>> to see if your sound card is in the Hardware Compatibility list.

[SuSE Linux] KDE question. Location of icons

Hi, I've a question about the places where KDE looks for icons. Where is the config file where I can add other directories where to look for icons? I can see only two options: /opt/kde/share/icons $HOME/.kde/share/icons This is a problem because many of the K menu entries have icon files located in other directories, for example: /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps_suse etc. Any hint will be appreciated.

[SuSE Linux] modem trouble
by assalonej＠kpe.com 25 Nov '98

25 Nov '98

I have a USR56k pnp modem. I've had it work in the past under slackware, so i think it should work now (i have suse 5.3). In yast i set it up to ttyS2 (com 3). A link is created to dev/modem. When i try to query the modem in kppp, i get a message saying it is busy. I ran the pnpdump to get a isapnp.conf file, and ran isapnp on it, and it sees the card, but i don't know what to do from there. I tried looking for a howto, but couldn't find one and the isapnp docs aren't very helpful. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Re: [SuSE Linux] Modem only works at 19200
by glacierdenali＠yahoo.com 25 Nov '98

Just a thought... Did you possibily enable the coneect only at 28.8k? This will cause the line to drop if connection rates are below 28.8k. I'm not sure how you do this, but you might want to check into it. You should be able to set the modem speed to 115.2k, this allows for compression. I use this setting with my 33.6 modem, although I only connect at 24k most of the time due to line noise. ---Stefan Nantz <stefan.nantz(a)seagatesoftware.com> wrote: > > > Hello All, > > I am using Suse 5.2.

[SuSE Linux] IRQ Info

Hi All Just a quick update on my modem difficulties. It seems that having corrected the isapnp.conf script I now have the modem, or at least the address, recognised correctly when booting and if I now run setserial I don't get any error message. SuSe still doesn't seem to want to see my modem but I'm working on it. I will report and let you know how far I have got. A little information about the apparent movement of the modem between dos and windows. I hadn't realised that there was a line in autoexec.bat loading a driver for the modem which seems to default to com 2. Then when windows starts it the re initialises the modem, having already assigned irq 3 to something else, proceeds to install the modem using irq 15. I don't know why windows uses the com 3 address of 0x3e8h though, but it does.

I don't know if this has been answered yet, but you can install the latest hackers kernal from the suse CD (I think it is under development stuff). This has OSS support built into the kernal. It is really easy to configure, just a matter of putting a 'Y' beside your sound card and giving the irq/dma address.

[SuSE Linux] diald routing problem - please help.
by bmessin＠3-cities.com 25 Nov '98

25 Nov '98

I set up a Linux boxen at work as a intranet-http/smb/internet-gateway server. I am using diald and ip-masquerading to provide internet access for the rest of the office (class C ethernet network). Linux box: 192.168.1.5 (this is eth0) my windoze box: 192.168.1.1 other boxes: 192.168.1.x The problem is that the Linux box responds to all local trafic by starting a ppp connection to the internet -- and won't respond until the connection is made. For example: If I go to another computer on the network and try to ping the Linux box it will initiate a ppp connection before it will respond to the ping. Note that this is not a DNS issue -- I am only using IP's, not names. If diald is running the server responds to all incoming packets by establishing a ppp link -- and does not complete any request until a ppp link is up even if the packet destination is the Linux box (eth0). If I kill diald then I don't have any routing problems (on the internal network), the server responds to pings, smb name resolution, and serves up httpd requests instantly. Also if I set diald options to _not_ set default route my server will respond to local trafic, but of course won't start a ppp link when needed eather. There has to be a routing solution, but as a newcommer to *nix I have not found it. Please help so that I don't have to resort to using a win95 box as the dial-on-demand gateway again. Thank you for your help. Here is some system info that might be of help: Results of "route -n" when diald is not running: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 25 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 13 lo Results of "route -n" when diald is running and ppp is down: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 2000 0 0 sl0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 17 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 9 lo 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 UG 2000 0 0 sl0 Results of "route -n" when diald is running and ppp is up: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 204.203.235.208 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 500 0 0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 19 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 10 lo 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 500 0 7 ppp0 These are my diald options: mode ppp defaultroute reroute modem proxyarp device /dev/ttyS2 speed 115200 crtscts lock dynamic fifo /etc/diald.fifo connect "chat -f /etc/ppp/chatscript" local 192.168.0.1 remote 0.0.0.0 # <-- Is this why there are two entries in route table for ppp0? connect-timeout 35 retry-count 10 redial-timeout 1 This is the result of "ipfwadm -F -l -n": IP firewall forward rules, default policy: deny type prot source destination ports acc/m all 192.168.1.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 n/a please send email responces to bmessin(a)3-cities.com or sysop(a)hfginvest.com Thank you again for your assistance. -- Ben Messinger Linux user #79,342 (Better late than never!) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Come to find out, one of our IS staff had turned off the very feature I had tryed to implement with rules. Of course, he never bothered to tell anyone... What a breath of fresh air procmail is. The ability to pipe an email into an arbitrary script, or just run a script based on receipt of a certain email, is incredible. What I want to experiment doing, is sending an email to my home box, and getting it to email me back a snapshot of what is going on with the system. Just to get my feet wet. With ssh (secure shell), I was able to connect to my site and execute a script like this: ssh -l <username> <host> <my_script> but procmail seems somehow more elegant. Ramble On!

[SuSE Linux] Replacement for SBS
by bheirwegh＠bigfoot.com 25 Nov '98

25 Nov '98

I am newbie to the Linux world who started when receiving a copy of SuSe Linux 5.2. It took me about two weeks (not continuos!) to get the system installed and getting X-Windows to work with my Matrox G200 video card. My next steps are to get connected to our NT network and getting my modem up and running to connect to the Internet. PART 1 ====== It is a fact of life and as many offices do, we run Microsoft applications. We have smaller office scattered all over the country and are planning to install MS SBS (Small Business Server) mainly for the following reason: It is a one all-in solution. It allows many users to use internal/internet e-mail system (MS Exchange) and send/receive faxes through the server. The same server will also be used as a file server. Initially we do not need dial-in facilities. My question to all you experts out there is very simple -1- Does Linux provide similar facilities (shared faxing, MS exchange, modem sharing on demand, etc.)? -2- Which programs are used for this? -3- Are there any in-depth comparisons between Linux and SBS? PART 2 ====== We mainly use SQL Server 6.5 and Microsoft Access 97 databases. Is there a program which would allow us to connect ot the Access databases from Linux PART 3 ====== Does Linux support USB. I ahve need been able to find reference to this. PART 4 ====== Does Linux have a program similar to "perfon" in Windows NT. The main use will be to look at what speed a current Internet connection is using to send/receive data at regular intervals, e.g. every second. I know this may seem a long list, but as is said I am new to Linux and this probably only 10f the questions I really have. Any help would be highly appreciated!!! ;-)) Bennet - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Offhand, you might want to double-check all your cable connections, the quality of your cables and how your cables are laid out. The first two are really important since they cover about 900f all cable-related problems. Although you are running only a 10Mb network, you should consider using CAT-5 (100Mb) cables since this cable type is certified for reliable data transmission at high speeds. How your cables are laid out is equally important. You need to keep the minimum amount of cable needed between connections and replace with shorter lengths of cable (i.e., you need a minimum of 15 ft. to make the connections but you are using a 25 ft. cable instead of a 15 ft. cable). Also, try to avoid running the cables along the same path as electrical cables since the EMI (electro-magnetic interference) radiated from the power cables could interfere with the data transmission. When I installed the network in my department at work, I used a striaght drop down configuration for the network cables (i.e., the cables drop from the ceiling to the computer) and let the electrical cables run on the floor to minimize EMI and to keep the cable rat-nest more organized.

Sorry for doing this this way. But it's late and I'm a bit tired. Below is a bunch of links and stuff from the procmail list for the person asking for a tutorial. Somewhere in here you should find what you need. Once again i apologize for forwarding this bulky message. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1998 11:58:55 +0200 (EET) From: era eriksson <era+i(a)iki.fi> To: procmail(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de Newsgroups: comp.mail.misc, news.admin.net-abuse.email Followup-To: poster Subject: Procmail FAQ and Links pointer (pre-faq or pre-inf) Resent-Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1998 11:00:05 +0100 (MET) Resent-From: procmail(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de Archive-name-to-be: mail/procmail-faq-pointer URL: <A HREF="http://www.iki.fi/~era/procmail/"><A HREF="http://www.iki.fi/~era/procmail/</A">http://www.iki.fi/~era/procmail/</A</A>> Last-modified: Wed Nov 18 10:01:06 EET 1998 Posting-frequency: Every 11 days Subscription and unsubscription instructions for the Procmail mailing list are included below. The Procmail Mini-FAQ and its companion Procmail Links page are available at the following locations: Procmail Mini-FAQ: <<A HREF="http://www.iki.fi/~era/procmail/mini-faq.html"><A HREF="http://www.iki.fi/~era/procmail/mini-faq.html</A">http://www.iki.fi/~era/procmail/mini-faq.html</A</A>>> Procmail Links: <<A HREF="http://www.iki.fi/~era/procmail/links.html"><A HREF="http://www.iki.fi/~era/procmail/links.html</A">http://www.iki.fi/~era/procmail/links.html</A</A>>> Please view the Table of Contents for the FAQ near the end of this posting.

If you would like to receive the FAQ by electronic mail, send a message with the words "send mini-faq.txt" (sans quotation marks) in the Subject: header to the address <era+pr(a)iki.fi> The Links page is not very useful if you do not have WWW access. You can receive the HTML version by e-mail, though; use the Subject line "send links.html" instead. The HTML version of the FAQ can be retreived with the Subject: send mini-faq.html My current plan is to send this out every 11 days and see how people react. If nobody reacts in any way, I will probably continue to send it out this way, and/or ultimately seek news.answers approval for this notice. /* era */ Changes to the FAQ since the previous announcement ================================================== The following change log details recent developments since this announcement was last posted. The WWW version has a full change log which goes further back. Mini-Faq: date: 1998/11/18 Link to Philip's todo list Corrections / additions by Philip Guenther (mostly what fixes to expect in what versions, but also some other good points) (Thanks!) date: 1998/11/15 The FAQ is now more than twelve times the size of version 1.1 (actually 13.1736 to be precise) What we can expect to be fixed in 3.11pre8 URL to the current snapshot (soon to be pre8); addresses of the new procmail-dev and smartlist-dev mailing lists; how to do several actions under a common condition; rewrote BCC/virtual domain/many users one mailbox section (for the better I hope; thanks to Philip and Bart for feedback on the list) Links: date: 1998/11/15 Orca DUL dial-up RBL-type list, and Chris Lewis's Unix email survey FAQ date: 1998/11/10 Philip Guenther's snapshot and todo list, and a link to the procmail-dev mailing list Quickref: date: 1998/10/23 Point out that < and \> are actually identical (thanks to rohee) How to subscribe/unsubscribe ============================ If you would like to subscribe to the Procmail mailing list, send a message containing the word "subscribe" (without the quotes (and without this parenthetical remark, too :^)) in the Subject: field to <procmail-request(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de>. Please spend an additional second to check the spelling of that single word before you send off the message. To unsubscribe from the list, change "subscribe" to "unsubscribe". This word seems even harder to spell right than the other one. Note that these messages should not be sent to the list address <procmail@informatik> which is what you might have in your address book or similar -- mail to that address will be distributed to all the list subscribers (and make some of them very upset, if it's not about Procmail.) The FAQ contains some friendly comments on netiquette. Please read them before posting to the list. The list robot is not very tolerant of mail errors and will automatically unsubscribe you if it gets many bounces from your address. Just subscribe yourself again if this happens. (You should expect to see several message from the list per day.) I have no influence over how the list is operated.

[SuSE Linux] Other fax solutions
by mperry＠basin.com 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

I spent some time on hylafax + susefax and gave it up last nite. I downloaded from sunsite the efax and tefax packages which give an easy backend and a elm like front end for faxing. tefax compiled quite easily but the resource file appears to be in german.. Does anyone use tefax? I have to admit that efax and fax and tefax took all of 15 minutes. This works quite well for a single workstation. You can also setup efax to run in automated mode to answer incoming calls. -- Michael Perry mperry(a)basin.com ------------------ - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] Back Orifice style attacks possible in Linux??
by zentara＠mindspring.com 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

Hi, Check out the following link regarding Back Orifice. <A HREF="http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/16310.html"><A HREF="http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/16310.html</A">http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/16310.html</A</A>> It talks about the complete lack of security in the windows operating system. My question is: Are these types of attacks possible against Linux systems? Is it possible to inadvertently install a trojan, by installing an RPM as root ? Is it possible to have a process running under Linux that dosn't show up with a ps -aux? Or show up as a seemingly safe process, only to be hiding a secret trojan? Would the tripwire package detect an attempt to alter some linux executable? What I'm thinking is that during an install of some package, as root, a binary edit might be done on an existing executable. Do you need to do regular checksums of all your executables to see if they've been changed? Am I paranoid, or should we start worrying about this? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

It means the kernel is too big. I'm not sure what constitutes too big, however, since the kernal I compiled was smaller than the ones that come with SuSE.

[SuSE Linux] routing problem when using diald
by bmessin＠3-cities.com 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

I set up a Linux boxen at work as a intranet-http/smb/internet-gateway server. I am using diald and ip-masquerading to provide internet access to the rest of the office (class C ethernet network). Linux box: 192.168.1.5 (this is eth0) my windoze box: 192.168.1.1 other boxes: 192.168.1.x The problem I am having is that if diald is running the server responds to all incoming packets by establishing a ppp link -- and does not complete any request until a ppp link is up even if the packet destination is the Linux box (eth0). For example: If I ping the Linux box it will not respond to the ping until a ppp connection to our isp has been established.-- then it will respond. If I try to access one of the web pages on the server it likewise will not send the requested file until a ppp link has been made. If I kill diald then I don't have any routing problems, the server responds to pings, smb name resolution, and httpd requests instantly. Please help so that I don't have to resort to using a win95 box as the dial-on-demand gateway again. Thank you for your help. Here is some system info that might be of help: Results of "route -n" when diald is not running: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 25 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 13 lo Results of "route -n" when diald is running and ppp is down: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 2000 0 0 sl0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 17 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 9 lo 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 UG 2000 0 0 sl0 Results of "route -n" when diald is running and ppp is up: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 204.203.235.208 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 500 0 0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 19 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 10 lo 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 500 0 7 ppp0 These are my diald options: mode ppp defaultroute reroute modem proxyarp device /dev/ttyS2 speed 115200 crtscts lock dynamic fifo /etc/diald.fifo connect "chat -f /etc/ppp/chatscript" local 192.168.0.1 remote 0.0.0.0 # <-- Is this why there are two entries in route table for ppp0? connect-timeout 35 retry-count 10 redial-timeout 1 This is the result of "ipfwadm -F -l -n": IP firewall forward rules, default policy: deny type prot source destination ports acc/m all 192.168.1.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 n/a please send email responces to bmessin(a)3-cities.com or sysop(a)hfginvest.com Thank you again for your assistance. -- Ben Messinger Linux user #79,342 (Better late than never!) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Thanks for the info, Rob, I acquired the CDs with the VA28 workstation I bought from VA Research back in early October, 1998. With a bout of flu, and an inclination toward paranoia making me read the manual a lot, I didn't get around to trying to install SuSE on my old machine, so that I could network the two of them together, until this weekend, Nov 22. Maybe I'm cheating in using the VA package and registration code with the old machine, but I've never been able to get a response from support(a)suse.com to any of my earlier questions, ones I asked in anticipation of wiping out my old Slackware distribution with the SuSE 5.3. The fellow I talked to on the phone at SuSE when I bought WABI said "just go ahead and email your questions, and they'll register you on the fly." So today, I finally mailed off the postcard, and I'll see if that makes a difference. Having been used in the past to totally unsupported installations (InfoMagic Slackware) and having them install seamlessly, it was quite a shock to run into this brick wall. A bug in the distribution would be a happy explanation. After all these years of boasting of Linux's excellence to my colleagues, it's very disconcerting to not be able to install a brand new office-grade distribution on my old machine, which was, at the time, designed specifically for Linux compatibility.

Hi everyone - does anyone have a modem init string that will work for a US Robotics Sporster Flash? I've struggled for two days to try and get PPP to work. I seem to remember that months ago when I got Redhat 5 to work, I eventually found it was the modem string that was giving me grief.

We are relasing these Betas to enable the Samba Team to gain wider testing of the new autoconf mechanism and fix any bugs before the first ship of the new stable version of Samba - Samba 2.0. Samba 2.0 Beta2 is available in source form from samba.org and all of our mirror sites. Please go to your nearest mirror site from samba.org and click on the link under the "Samba News" announcement to download this code. Please try this code and give us feedback. If you have problems, or think you have found a bug please email a report to : samba-bugs(a)samba.org The WHATSNEW.txt file follows. As always, any bugs are our responsibility, Regards, The Samba Team. ----------------------------------------------------------- Issues fixed between Beta1 and Beta2 ------------------------------------ 1). Many autoconf issues (too many to list here). 2). Correctly set default printing for AIX. 3). Attempt to fix struct rtentry not being defined problem. 4). Convert all open() style calls to wrappers for 64 bit systems. 5). Get more 'const' correct. 6). Fix bug with O_EXCL not being set on exlusive open requests. 7). Fix string_sub() problem with LinPopup. 8). Fix lmhosts bug causing only 3 character names to be looked up. 9). Fixed bug with NetBIOS pointers in scope names. 10). Removed code that was preventing NT3.51 PDC logons from working. 11). Fixed crash bug when processing DELETE_ON_CLOSE directive from MS Office. 12). Fixed NT4.x problems adding printer. 13). Stop multiple logs of NT ACL's not supported messages. 14). Changed 'security=server' mode to use *SMBSERVER name if initial connect refused. 15). Fixed NT4.x problem with modify times not being preserved on explorer file copy. 16). 'Silent' switch for testparm. 17). Added 'hosts allow/deny' checks to SWAT. ----------------------------------------------------------- WHATS NEW IN Samba 2.0.0 beta2 ============================== This is a MAJOR new release of Samba, the UNIX based SMB/CIFS file and print server for Windows systems. There have been many changes in Samba since the last major release, 1.9.18. These have mainly been in the areas of performance and SMB protocol correctness. In addition, a Web based GUI interface for configuring Samba has been added. In addition, Samba has been re-written to help portability to other POSIX-based systems, based on the GNU autoconf tool. Major changes in Samba 2.0 -------------------------- There are many major changes in Samba for version 2.0. Here are some of them: ===================================================================== 1). Speed --------- Samba has been benchmarked on high-end UNIX hardware as out-performing all other SMB/CIFS servers using the Ziff-Davis NetBench benchmark. Many changes to the code to optimise high-end performance have been made. 2). Correctness --------------- Samba now supports the Windows NT specific SMB requests. This means that on platforms that are capable Samba now presents a 64 bit view of the filesystem to Windows NT clients and is capable of handling very large files. 3). Portability --------------- Samba is now self-configuring using GNU autoconf, removing the need for people installing Samba to have to hand configure Makefiles, as was needed in previous versions. You now configure Samba by running "./configure" then "make". See docs/textdocs/UNIX_INSTALL.txt for details. 4). Web based GUI configuration ------------------------------- Samba now comes with SWAT, a web based GUI config system. See the swat man page for details on how to set it up. 5). Cross protocol data integrity --------------------------------- An open function interface has been defined to allow "opportunistic locks" (oplocks for short) granted by Samba to be seen by other UNIX processes. This allows complete cross protocol (NFS and SMB) data integrety using Samba with platforms that support this feature. 6). Domain client capability ---------------------------- Samba is now capable of using a Windows NT PDC for user authentication in exactly the same way that a Windows NT workstation does, i.e. it can be a member of a Domain. See docs/textdocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt for details. 7). Documentation Updates ------------------------- All the reference parts of the Samba documentation (the manual pages) have been updated and converted to a document format that allows automatic generation of HTML, SGML, and text formats. These documents now ship as standard in HTML and manpage format. ===================================================================== NOTE - Some important option defaults changed --------------------------------------------- Several parameters have changed their default values. The most important of these is that the default security mode is now user level security rather than share level security. This (incompatible) change was made to ease new Samba installs as user level security is easier to use for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT clients. ********IMPORTANT NOTE**************** If you have no "security=" line in the [global] section of your current smb.conf and you update to Samba 2.0 you will need to add the line : ecurity=share to get exactly the same behaviour with Samba 2.0 as you did with previous versions of Samba. ********END IMPORTANT NOTE************* In addition, Samba now defaults to case sensitivity options that match a Windows NT server precisely, that is, case insensitive but case preserving. ===================================================================== NOTE - Primary Domain Controller Functionality ---------------------------------------------- This version of Samba contains code that correctly implements the undocumented Primary Domain Controller authentication protocols. However, there is much more to being a Primary Domain Controller than serving Windows NT logon requests. A useful version of a Primary Domain Controller contains many remote procedure calls to do things like enumerate users, groups, and security information, only some of which Samba currently implements. For this reason we have chosen not to advertise and actively support Primary Domain Controller functionality with this release. This work is being done in the CVS (developer) versions of Samba, development of which continues at a fast pace. If you are interested in participating in or helping with this development please join the Samba-NTDOM mailing list. Details on joining are available at : <A HREF="http://samba.org/listproc/"><A HREF="http://samba.org/listproc/</A">http://samba.org/listproc/</A</A>> Details on obtaining CVS (developer) versions of Samba are available at: <A HREF="http://samba.org/cvs.html"><A HREF="http://samba.org/cvs.html</A">http://samba.org/cvs.html</A</A>> ===================================================================== If you have problems, or think you have found a bug please email a report to : samba-bugs(a)samba.org As always, all bugs are our responsibility.

I'm soooo happy that I FINALLY was able to make a ppp connection with kpppd. The problem apparently was my ISP uses PAP but told me it was CHAP(trial and error)! Anyway, I only connect at 9600, and I have a 56.6k modem. I know there's a really simple solution to this, but I forget. Any ideas? One more: I tried Pine and sent myself a message that I didn't receive. After I send a message in Pine, do I need to do something else to "send" it? It said it had been sent. Also, how to check mail.

[SuSE Linux] Slackware -> SuSE 5.3
by jimo＠eskimo.com 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

I'm in the process of trying to install 5.3 on a machine that has been happily running an old Slackware kernel 1.1.59 system. However, I get the red screen of death, with no option but to reboot, and no information except "An error occurred during installation!" FWIW, it's a 486-66 EISA/VESA motherboard system, 32M RAM, BusLogic BT-747S SCSI (HD, tape, CD) bios v4.5, 1992. On the supplied boot disc, linuxrc seems to load the scsi module ok if I let it choose its own parameters, but not if I try to give it an address (0x330, from the old boot messages) per the manual, page 101 under BusLogic parameters. (I really don't see anything useful looking at BusLogic.c as pg 101 suggests.) Using this boot disc, the process seems to degrade randomly, failing at different, earlier points each time I reboot the system, as though it's somehow remembering things across pressings of the reset button.

[SuSE Linux] Sax and vshop...
by Stefano.Papini＠intercai.etnoteam.it 23 Nov '98

23 Nov '98

Good morning, My name is Stefano Papini and I'm a customer of ours. I've just bought SuSE 5.3 and I've got some problems. I've installed it on a new Quantum 7.6 GB. My video scheda is a STB Velocity 128 4 MB sgram, the monitor is a Miro 15", Mouse ps/2. Motherboard epox mvp3 and K6 300 - 2. Via Sax I can't set the resolution of the screen to less than 1024x786, which is too high (everything is too little). When I try to access to lower resolution (800x600, 640x480), I see only a small and distorted part of the screen. 1) how can I get 800x600 resolution? Once I didn't know how to exit tha sax when it fails (sometimes it does and forgive me to use the mouse) I pushed reset. Result at every boot the vshop can't recover. I have -8888 ERROR, and I'm suggested to digit 'x_clear vshop'. But the command isn't seen. 2) Where must I run 'x_clear vshop' from? Sincerely I hope you will answer me, infact I've already tried to contact you but I had no luck. By the way I work as telematics consultant and would be interested in suggesting my customers to use linux rather than microsoft products. But I must be sure that they can receive technical assistance, too. If you're interested in being considered among the possible solution providers in OS and applications employed in Telematics fields, you can contact me.

Re: [SuSE Linux] runlevels
by k01164＠ko.hhs.dk 23 Nov '98

23 Nov '98

If you know Win95, you know it has different "modes", like dos-mode, failsafe mode, and normal. This is quite similar to run-levels in linux. There is a number of different modes and each has a number. Runlevel 6 is "shutdown mode", and you never want to set your computer to start up in that runlevel. (It will behave just like a yo-yo - going up and down all the time) Normally you start in the runlevel resembling a dos-mode. If you tell Yast to use a graphical login (xdm or kdm), it will start up in another Runlevel where X-windows will start automagically. Linux also has a "failsafe-mode" this is called single-user mode, and it also has its own runlevel. If you are logged in as root, you can switch the system to another runlevel with the command init <run-level-number>. I can't remember the exact numbers of the different runlevels, but in the Suse Manual there is a section on how to configure them.

[SuSE Linux] AHA2940 Ultra SCSI- Timeout Errors.....
by ewagner＠csc.cps.k12.il.us 23 Nov '98

23 Nov '98

I have my root partition on a 4gb scsi hd attached to an Adaptec AHA2940 Ultra. On the card I have 2 such scsi hard disks and a cd-r drive- All works without any errors in windows 95. I Frequently get timeout errors when accessing the hard disk. The SCSI bus is then reset after a while of unresponsiveness. I checked the support database but did not see anything specific regarding this adapter- I changed the transfer rate down to 10 meg but that didn't seem to help. The curious part about it is when I was installing the OS I wasn't getting the error- It only happened once I rebooted the box after the installation. The installation program found all the scsi devices without any problems. Any ideas? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] resolver libs don't seem to be working on 5.3

Hey All: Has anyone had any problem with name resolution under SuSE linux 5.3? I'm running behind an IP Masq server at home (haven't had a chance to test it at work, but I don't imagine there would be any difference) and the resolver lib doesn't seem to be working. resolv.conf does point to my IPMasq server for DNS and named is running on the IPMasq server and is working. I CAN: - successfully ping IPMasq Server. - run nslookup and dig against the IPMasq server and get valid responses. - see my laptop request lookups from IPMasq server with tcpdump when using nslookup and dig. - Successfully resolve names from the same laptop when running Windoze. I CANNOT: - get the machine to do lookups from any application that should be calling gethostbyname(). e.g. netscape, ping, etc. - see my laptop request lookups from IPMasq server with tcpdump when an application should be calling gethostbyname() Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[SuSE Linux] Another X-Windows query
by phil＠ps.hf.umist.ac.uk 23 Nov '98

23 Nov '98

OK.... this is probably just me being young and inexperienced at these things but here goes: I am trying to get my s3 video card to run X in 16bpp and 1024*768 resolution. After d/loading and trying to run sax, (the only way I could get the server to startup) I discovered that the monitor is recieving no signal... or at least the power management light comes on... Now I am using a Samtron monitor, and in the handbook it does say that it can handle the stuff I want. I can get that resolution and depth in Win98 so I know it can't be a hardware problem. Does anyone have any hints as to how to make the darned thing work? Many thanks...

[SuSE Linux] IRQ Info
by derricksimpsonATintonetDOTcoDOTuk＠intonet.co.uk 23 Nov '98

23 Nov '98

Hi All, Thanks for the replies. I think that I had better supply some more information about the problem and what I am trying to achieve. The modem in question is a Pace 56K internal one. This device is a jumperless pnp modem, most definitely not a win modem. It works fine under dos and win95/98. Now here is the rub. Under dos com2 IRQ 3 at 0x2f8h it works fine. In win95/98 it moves address to com3 IRQ 15 at 0x3e8h and also works fine. Incidentally this info comes from modem properties in win. In SuSe, using yast it I have set it to dos-com2 without success. I have also used isapnp which referred me to the man page. So from that I used pnpdump to produce a isapnp.conf file which I edited and placed in /etc/. This file is run when the machine is booted, and seems to place the modem on com2, 0x2f8h, IRQ3. But I still don't seem to be able to communicate with the modem. Actually I have tried every com port address and IRQ and still no luck. It seems that the modem refuses to talk to SuSe, which is why I was trying to initialise it at boot time before anything else got to it. At the end of the day I am trying to get a demonstration machine running so that I can show and make comparisons to prospective clients. Once again thankyou for your assistance.

[SuSE Linux] CGI file open/create problem

Hi! I have a have problem that I heard have to do with the Apache webserver, but the voice never said anything about to solve it... to be able to access, open/read/create a text (data) file I have to chmod the directory to 777, which is not so good, but otherwise it just don't work to use the open command in a perl cgi script. Someone know how to get around this? 766 or even 666 should be enough, if not 644... but that might is just for the file. Also I notice that a file created by open is given ownership to user "wwwrun" and group is "nogroup", is this correct? Have tried to figure this out but with no success.

[SuSE Linux] Hmmm... I must have done something.
by josch＠ns.humanet.se 22 Nov '98

22 Nov '98

Before I always have been able to update (overwrite) a file on my webserver via ftp, but now it don't works anymore. I have to delete it first, and then upload the new version, setting permissions etc. I can't figure what have changed as I havn't done any changes to the configuration (as I can remaind me). Can someone be so kind to cast some light on where to look? Ownership have not changed... The only thing I can remaind me of was that I earlier connected with the IP-adress to the box, but now use the ftp.domain.com name, but switching back don't help. The domain name also have a virtual IP-adress configured with named and a zone file (have several virtual domains). Any spotting light would be great.

Getting Xforms as a tgz file will not help, since RPM will still not be able to see that it is installed. Besides, Xforms is on the SuSE CD-ROMs in RPM format, so why dl a tgz archive? Just install Xforms from the CDs with Yast.

[SuSE Linux] X11 Error

Okay, I realize that this is a really sketchy error report, so feel free to ignore me... on two separate installs of SuSE 5.3 (CD) I've had this problem occasionally. That is, I startx and it blacks out the screen, then returns to the console and says "Cannot open mouse: device or resource busy" ... here's the kicker: the cure for it is to run SaX, use the existing XF86Config, and then immediately do File->Exit. X loads fine after that. Anyone run into this before? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] Modem problems
by dennis＠lovelady.com 22 Nov '98

22 Nov '98

OK, so maybe it is my SuSE settings. I have a USR Sportster 33600 modem, which dials and connects just fine when I use minicom, however it doesn't hang around long enough for retrain signal when using chat. I hear the beep, then almost immediately it goes offhook, with a steady tone initiated shortly thereafter. I thought it was a modem problem until I discovered that minicom does not have this problem.

[SuSE Linux] IP firewall and masquerading
by dennis＠lovelady.com 22 Nov '98

22 Nov '98

Hi, gurus: I seem to be without a S.u.S.E. book, and am having trouble figuring out the changes that must be made to /etc/rc.config (and any related changes) in order to make IP firewalling and IP masquerading work. The /usr/doc/packages/firewall/Firewall-mini-howto.txt that is installed seems to be only in German, and since I don't know that language, I am completely stuck. Could someone please point me to an English S.u.S.E. howto? I have done all of this previously with Slackware, which is *totally* different, so I have the basics down, but without documentation for such things as FW_FRIENDS, and a host of other variables, I am stuck. Thanks for any pointers.

I have resorted to altering the /etc/rc.config files manually, because I don't find the yast items that allow this specification.

[SuSE Linux] IRQ Info

Hi All, Re SuSE 5.3 I wonder if anyone can help me. I know that I can set the address and IRQ for a network card by sending kernel parameters at boot time. Along similar lines I want to do this for my modem. An alternative would be placing these settings into a file somewhere. My difficulty is that I don't seem to be able to find this information or where a file might be kept that I can use. If anybody has any Ideas or can provide a pointer or two in the right direction that would be great. Thanks in advance.. Regards.

[SuSE Linux] Ugh, plug-n-play
by rbaguer＠freenet.columbus.oh.us 22 Nov '98

22 Nov '98

Okay... SuSE 5.3 ... I'm trying to install a 56k Leopard Win PnP modem. I have read through the "How To ..." from the SuSE support db. And I've done that, and I've gotten so far as to get a successful report from isapnp -- but, I also have Win95 installed on this box and under that the modem works on COM3. I set up Minicom for /dev/cua2 (or any other really) and when it starts, I cannot type anything, i.e. the modem is not working. Any tips, advice, suggestions? Also -- I have a regular old IBM 28.8 modem installed in there too that has worked under Red Hat & Slackware.. but it won't even recognize that. Is the presence of the PnP modem suppressing its ability to function? Argh! - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] Internal Trackpoint mouse support

I have not been able to make the internal trackpoint mouse or the touch pad working. I have tried all combinations possible in the BIOS setting (Auto, Internal, External etc.) and only touch pad or only trackpoint. None of the combinations I tried seem to make it work. Only an external microsoft type mouse works. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for your help. I am not on this mailing list. So please reply to me.

[SuSE Linux] thinkpad 560 solved
by squeegy＠c54820-a.carneg1.pa.home.com 22 Nov '98

22 Nov '98

Hello all, I got X working in the 800x600 resolution As a long time user of Linux, I am still amazed at its power. This poor thinkpad was destined for the junk heap at work. Windows 98 wouldn't recognize the backback cdrom. win 95 had to be loaded with floppies. neither os even detected the pc card stuff the first time, the network card needed separate drivers. I support the unix machines at work and while other support people at my work used work laptops, I have never bothered to ask for one. I didn't want to have to have win anything on a laptop. well the pc guy at my work was so fed up with this laptop that he was close to pitching it. I stepped in and rescued it. I did a nfs install of suse 5.3 that went perfectly. I had the minor trouble remembering how to setup ftpd because once I get ssh on it I disable ftpd. The biggest problem I had was getting 800x600 to work in X. and that turned out to be getting the mode lines correct. this labtop is quick and light and all together usefull. now I can watch tv and work. Linux and SuSE rules!!

[SuSE Linux] Might have Missed!

I posted a message a couple of nights ago about XiG and KDE. Some people might have missed this but XiG simply will refuse to support KDE because they have a competing product. This really ticks me off. I use XiG and KDE and I simply cannot get 2.0.36 get to work with XiG's server. The answer I got was that they don't test with KDE because of their competing product...CDE. Hey...I paid my hundred bucks for the server...and now I get no support. Apparently, they're looking for my 350 to make it worth while. This is ridiculous. They have to support linux 'clean' applications. Harry - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
