OK I run a free online game service in the UK it's open to anyone to play. If a game has a custom map and you download that from the game server it takes ages so I have all the maps on a separate webserver. However it's constantly being leached to a ridiculous extent (always at my concurrent limit in Apache) by people who just want the files, if I check their IP's they're never coming from the UK. I don't have unlimited bandwidth so have to restrict it. But the problem there is that the UK based people who are playing the game can't access the webserver as all the slots are constantly used. I can't password it as the wget function of the games doesn't support it. My view is that if you're not playing my game servers you shouldn't be downloading my game files.

Re: [opensuse] Sony Vaio speed issue - battery normal, AC slow !!!
from mains to battery, there's a CPU spike which lasts for several minutes. That is perfectly normal. On mains the pc runs at full speed. On battery it drops to about half. Usually by changes to clock speed, sometimes by entering a brief sleep mode. You subtracted approx 50% of the CPU capability by switching to battery So the cpu utilization goes up - it still has the same amount of work to do, but its clock speed was reduced by the switch over so it takes it longer to do each thing. This looks like a busier system, because it is busy a larger percent of the available cycles. Nothing surprising here. I wish I was having the above problem but mine is totally different. I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FS415B laptop running opensuse 10.2. The problem I have is that when the system is running on AC adapter, the system takes about two minutes to boot up, opengl screensavers and video playback are very jerky despite kpowersave reporting the cpu speed at 1.73 GHz!. This problem is not apparent when running on just the battery, the system boots up in less than a minute and kpowersave reports the cpu speed at 800 MHz. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

See http://www.novell.com/products/desktop/features/autoyast.html for the word from the horse's mouth. YOU doesn't know how to handle policy-based configuration updates, where there are groups of systems that need different updates than others. If I want to change this, I need to set the install policy locally on each system and cannot do it centrally -- YOU is inherently a single system approach. And ZENworks (which is the respective Novell product) is not Open Source. (And we all see on this list how good ZMD works, don't we? Sorry, cheap shot, but I couldn't resist. ;-) That said, for configuration updates I vastly prefer cfengine to self-rolled rpm packages. It is much more flexible and the goal-oriented formulation of configurations works better when not all target systems are online and when groups of target systems must be built. It also works in heterogenuous Unix environments and thus covers more than SUSE Linux. (But I named cfengine already in my PP, so this is not really new information.) By the way, you know that AD group policies allows to set up very easily specific environments for user/user group/system combinations? Their environment variables, default printers, connected network file systems (e.g., on which server $HOME for a user is), available software, depend on the combination and is etablished transparently. If you really implement this with roll-your own configuration rpms, you're up for much work: While much of this can be done by appropriate environment variables in Unix and with a combination of autofs and LDAP; it is much more tedious, error prone, and this technical process could really be improved by a wide margin.

Joe That's true, but I've always put it down to the fact that it's my home desktop which is powered down every night and re-awoken every evening when I get in from work. However it has been flakey: and the once-a-month issue with the grapics card has been the least of my worries. Thunderbird regularly freezes or crashes and has to be re-started (in fact this is the second time I've written this because it just did it again). Sometimes the entire desktop locks up such that the only way to get out of the lockup is to turn off the power and reboot. Firefox crashes all the time. Updates sometimes fail - sometime leaving the desktop frozen as mentioned earlier. I had AppArmor going wild for no reason I could fathom and refusing to allow Apache to do all the things it needed to do (like access the file system). There are other, smaller, issues as well. So the little bit of a problem with the graphics card is really no problem at all. :( Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] wine and new libraries
Hi, I just installed wine-0.9.31 for a proprietary application that is being said runs using wine-0.9.29 and up. However, it needs some libraries that are not part of wine. An example is Host.dll. I downloaded Host.dll from the net and saved it into /usr/lib/wine. After executing the application with wine, wine still complains that it cannot find it. After moving the libs to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 the application can be launched. There still seems to be a problem with the application, might that because the dll's are not correctly recognized/initialized by wine? How can I have those dll's installed systemwide in /usr/lib/wine and recognized by wine? -- TIA, Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Going wild? What happened here? AppArmor hasn't shipped with an Apache profile turned on by default since 10.0; I can't recall what we did in 10.0, but that was an all-around depressing release of AppArmor. (Still based on the old Immunix business model, so it was AppArmor lite.) If you haven't tried AppArmor since 10.0, I'd like to suggest you try it again. :) If you tried AppArmor in 10.1 or 10.2 and had problems with Apache after enabling the Apache profile (or starting your own), just run 'aa-genprof /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork', exercise your webserver for a little while, and answer some questions. But if you could point out what happened with going wild, it'd be nice to know. We do make mistakes. Thanks pgpPq6iheoMYc.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm a little more conservative on my home servers, and they routinely have 6 month uptimes. At work we tend to have the 400-600 day uptimes in the server room. On servers I would do that.

Re: [opensuse] How to connect to MSSQL database?
Umm what? MS website for linux drivers?? Let me explain again in greater detail. This is a suse 10 box, that needs to connect to a MS SQL database, trying PHP or perl. I think they both claim to have support for MSSQL compiled in, however that doesn't seam to be the case, or there needs to be something werd I have to do to enable it. (wouldn't surprise me, had to do all kinds of weird things w/ Suse since 8.x to get compiled in features to work) Let me State again, Database is MS SQl, not MySQL. it has been a few weeks since I went on vacation and am now picking this project back up, so I don't have exacts right now.
