Hi, did you check the file /etc/permissions, if not take a look there to see if your home directory is listed there. This file is used by SuSEconfig to set files permissions.

SuSE for a 486 based web server
by Derek Fountain 09 Jan '97

09 Jan '97

I have an old 486 box collecting dust, and I thought I might turn it into a webserver. I'd like it to be secure and have modern(ish) facilities like mod_perl and php. Is there a version of SuSE which is still currently supported (for Apache security updates) which will run on such an old box? -- The past: Smart users in front of dumb terminals

[S.u.S.E. Linux] outside DNS over ppp connection.
by domlife＠domlife.com 08 May '96

08 May '96

1. Both rc.config and resolv.conf have entries like those in the book (search .... nameserver <my_ISP_DNS_IP> ). 2. good part: both local and remote ping work. The remote works for explicit IP, 3. bad part: name resolution does not seem to work at all although I specified external DNS (those of my ISP) as I descibed in #1. Specifically, "ping <hostname>" does not return. No error but no connection to <hostname>. 4. When ppp is down, command "nslookup" produces this: "Can't find server name for address <my_ISP_DNS_IP>. No response from server" When ppp is up, nslookup does not return until I stop it by Ctrl-C. 5. It looks to me the system knows about the DNS and sends the request but handshaking did not happen What do you think is required to use outside DNS in addition to providing their IP (in rc.config and as I saw in resolv.conf) ??. I am thankful for any guess or attempt to help. Vicco -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] 3Com Ethernet Card Problem
by bdonald＠nortel.ca 05 May '95

05 May '95

My setup is V5.2, and everything has installed OK, except the 3Com 3C509 card. The system has failed to pick it up. I recently spotted the suggestion of performing a direct scan using modprobe: modprobe 3c509 io=0x300,irq=10 The resulting message was: /lib/modules/2.0.33/net/3c509.o: symbol for parameter io not found This error message also appears on the bootup screen, and has appeared consistently from the initial install. I've checked the obvious - the system has a DOS partition, so I've booted from DOS and configured the card using the 3Com utilities, both before and after the install. It runs through the hardware tests OK. The card is attached to a Warp Server LAN, but obviously it hasn't been integrated software-wise into the network. I'm pretty certain that the hardware is not defective. Anyone have suggestions as to the next move. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Donald G7ENQ Euro Interconnect Signaling Systems (44) 01628 431063 Nortel plc.

Can >someone please help me? Thanks very much. According to the SuSE6.3 manual p273 it should be mounted as a SCSI drive. Try /dev/sda or /dev/sda4 If you have other SCSI drives, try increasing the letter until you get the right one.
