I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for a good way to do this. My laptop is configured for my wired office network and my home wireless network. Once I got the nic's configured, suse cleverly started automatically figuring out which network I wanted without any input from me.
I'm just wondering if I can make it automatically switch host files for me, or at least modify the localhost entry. Prior to installing suse I would just toggle a commented out entry for local host and run my one-line shell script to set up a few ssh tunnels to my office. I just modify the localhost entry so that I don't have to reconfigure any software like email server settings. So imap.example.com:143 will hit my ssh tunnel on 127.0.0.1:143, for example.
I was poking around with scpm. It didn't seem like it could do this readily, aside from maybe telling it to run a script where I could perhaps cp different /etc/hosts files into place. Not exactly an elegant solution, but if that's the only way...

We have done it like this. We only allow pop/imap encrypted (port 993, 995). The DNS in office gives you the IP depending from which side your are coming (internal/external). If you can't control that imap server I would try it with your firewall. The wired device is diferent from the wireless device so you could make a redirect for the packages to the imap server depending from their origen. I prefer the first one as it is more transparent and easier to debug. Ulf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
