I even contemplated adding an additional mailhop relay whose sole task would be formatting bounce messages. But then I reconsidered. Yes, the concept as it is must not be used. I really don't want to send the original message back to the sender, only send an informational message which can easily be done with Vacation as you and others have pointed out. Additionally it won't hurt as much if spam comes in since vacation only sends a single mail to any sender within a week. This is a source of confusion for me too.

Perl has an installation layout, which Suse and other distros follow, that is designed to prevent conflicts between modules installed from CPAN and modules installed via the distros' own mechanisms. YaST updates do not affect modules installed from CPAN and vice versa. Applications installed via YaST that use Perl modules can and should be configured in their packages such that they will not see Perl modules installed from CPAN if that would cause them a problem. Also, Perl programs run a large fraction of the web's infrastructure. The maintainers of important Perl modules take great care not to break backwards compatibility in the same way as for the C libraries etc. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've just installed SUSE 10.2, using RAID 5, on an IBM Netfinity x232 server. I created one small partition for /boot, a RAID array over 4 disks for / and a 2nd RAID for swap. I assume I could replicate the /boot partition across all 4 drives and add them to GRUB. If I want LVM, do I create a RAID array first? Or can I create both RAID and LVM in LVM? Also, in the on line docs I found the following: Check the file /proc/mdstats to find out whether a RAID partition has been destroyed. In the event of a system failure, shut down your Linux system and replace the defective hard disk with a new one partitioned the same way. Then restart your system and enter the command mdadm /dev/mdX --add /dev/sdX. Replace 'X' with your particular device identifiers. This integrates the hard disk automatically into the RAID system and fully reconstructs it. My system has hot swappable drives. Does it still require a shut down before replacing a drive? tnx jk -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd say this is the best of both worlds - a legacy OS like Windows running inside SUSE. While this surely is impressive, on a more general note, I doubt that it the best way to run windows. That depends what you want to do with Windows. If one uses it for games, you might be right, as hardware requirements for them are quite stringent. But if one uses it in a business environment to run Windows applications that are not available on Linux (e.g. Visio or accounting software) -- then it's the perfect choice. And VMware is much more stable and reliable than all other alternatives. After all it requires much more in regard to hardware resources than a native windows would need. much more? No, definitively not. Performance is about 10% lower than native Windows, and that's not a problem on every processor above 2GHz. Even on my T21 with its 1.4GHz processor the performance is sufficient -- and doesn't really disturb the Linux part where a DBMS is running at the same time. And what would be the alternative? Linux? Sorry, all necessary apps are not there yet. Native Windows? Nah, that would mean that we would need to get two laptops to customer presentations and would need to set up a network between them -- it's so much easier just to fire up the VMware instance. It would also mean that every desk would need two computers on it -- what a waste of space and energy. And we didn't talk about snapshots yet, or about easy migration to other host computers for disaster recovery, or about standardized deployments because the (virtual) hardware is the same everywhere. These advantages are so relevant that some customers of us run *all* their systems in VMware, the Linux systems included. You still cannot do anything that windows can do within an emulator. Care to name some often occuring problems, beyond games that want to access the video hardware directly? I haven't seen such problems in thousands of VMware installations. (Granted, all of them in business settings, using ESX.) AND, it is quite costly to buy a windows license, and additional windows software licenses for any linux computer that is standing around, Sorry, but that argument doesn't cut it either in most cases: Large business have volume licenses anyhow. Home users get their Windows licenses when they buy a computer. Smaller business should be able to buy the licenses -- or they don't need the software. If the respective business area has not even enough revenues to buy the software that's needed to run it, it is not worth it and should be dropped; that's basic business planning.

It does give a limited security by obscurity by hiding machines on a local lan from the outside world but not a lot other than that. What a firewall gives is what can be accessed, how it can be accessed and from where. With more sophisticated technologies (e.g. Novells Border manager) one can also define who can access what. snip Yes, exactly. I've never understood the Wild Eyed(tm) insistence on a firewall, as I imagine there very few installations where a user's computer is directly on the Internet these days. I always run behind a router, and thus don't need a firewall. If you have your cable modem plugged into a switch or router (ie, if your computer is on a 192.168 network), you don't need a firewall. And yet I can't get Windows to stop complaining about the fact I don't have the firewall turned on. The difficulty with this proposition is the assumption that all machines on the local lan are adequately secured and used by reliable and trustworthy people. Any security is only as strong as its weakest link, and in most cases it is not the technology on the network but the people using that technology which present the problem. But I'm talking about a home network with 1-3 PCs hooked on to it, mostly running games and the like. Barring something happening from inside, it just isn't a worry. Not to say as my kids get older, I won't have to look into a firewall to avoid any bad accidents. But until then, my home network is pretty safe behind my NAT router. Unfortunately, there is nothing to stop an unsecured machine or malicious (or stupid) user from attempting (deliberately or inadvertently) to establish a link with an external site that that could effectively bypass firewall or NAT based security assumptions. A firewall policy for both external access and internal lan access is a requirement on any network, and when combined with locking down external access to SMTP and websites to proxy servers and mail hubs should at least make such attacks more difficult As Windows is particularly vulnerable to this kind subversive attack this kind of nagging is probably a good thing. Yes, not to say there aren't always exceptions, but I'm still willing to bet firewalls, for many people, have caused more problems than they have solved. snip Usually, this is because people do not understand what they are doing and why they are doing it.

Looking on CPAN, 1.081 isn't there. The changelog says it was an unstable release, so I guess they've removed it. So your situation is complicated, sadly. The indicated release is quite old and was unstable, so it's possible that either (a) it was a real nightmare to build a working application and the indicated version numbers are the only ones that are known to work or (b) the site has got out of date. So one possibility is to ask the authors for advice. I see there's a forum for GPRS_Easy_Connect, so I'd suggest asking there. Ordinarily I would suggest trying to build it anyway with the latest releases and just see whether it works. But I happen to be working with Gtk2 myself at present and I know first-hand that installing the module can be a pain. So in this case I'd suggest trying the Suse package perl-Gtk2 in YaST, which is a reasonably recent version though not absolutely up-to-date.

The problems I've had are masses of dependencies, some failing tests, and some methods in the modules that don't seem to work as advertised. Hence my suggestion to use YaST for this package. There don't seem to be Suse packages for the two modules you originally asked about though, so probably it has to be CPAN for those.

Yes, there is. Previously, you could see the button to aktivate/deactivate a source at once. Now it is hidden a bit in the don-t-know-the-name button in the corner down right, where you can deactivate AND/OR not-refresh a source. Ah, thanks Sandy. That's the Source Settings button on YaST's Software/Installation Source page, for anybody else following. That speeds it up considerably, though I think it's still slower than 9.3. Definitely an improvement. It leaves a lesser problem in its wake :( Now when I click on Online Update it says it will Refresh update sources but it doesn't. Apart from going into the Installation Source page and selecting Refresh now for each individual source in turn, is there some way to tell it to refresh all sources? The always-refresh behaviour is pretty annoying when you only want to install a little package. I guess, the reason for that is, that these sources also work as update sources. Yes, but the use cases seem pretty obvious to me: (1) I want to install a new package. I want to do it quickly, because I want to use it! (2) I want to do a regular and/or sporadic update to bring things pretty much up-to-date, as good housekeeping. (3) I've just heard about some specific threat and want exactly that very recent release. In case (3), I'm more than willing to push a button saying guarantee me the latest possible update, and I'm more than happy to wait while it does a download. In all other cases, I'm happy with an expectation that the sources have been updated sometime in the last 24 hours, or even a week, and I definitely don't want to wait. I don't understand why there isn't a system cron job that keeps the lists up-to-date overnight. I guess there's some command-line incantation that I could set up as a cron job.

Re: [opensuse] Protected Kernel Replaced by 10.2 Update
Having used 'smart --gui' from the day it became available on SuSE,
I find it sometimes cumbersome - but definitely usable.
I hover over several toolbar icons, and get no tooltips to tell
me what they're for.
Tooltips are shown only if the icon is active -- that is, they are
shown if clicking on the icon would cause smart to perform the
indicated action. Presumably this is to not mislead the user into
believing that tool to be currently available to him (this is how
smart indicates that all the pre-conditions for use of that specific
tool have not yet been provided).
I open it up and it says on the statusbar No interesting
upgrades available!
That's interesting - for me when I first open it up the statusbar
is blank. Are you sure that you didn't happen to click on the
next-to-rightmost icon ('Upgrade all packages') in the toolbar? The
message you quote is put into the statusbar when smart's 'Upgrade
all packages' action decides it currently knows of no packages
meeting its upgrade this criteria.
[Unfortunately, a human-factors failing of 'smart --gui' is that
when another action is performed (e.g., another toolbar icon is
clicked on), the previous content of the statusbar is not blanked.
So the No interesting upgrades available message may stay there,
beyond the time when it was meaningful.]
... while providing no apparent way to find out what
non-interesting upgrades might be available
This is something that smart *can* provide. [I have not figured out
how to get synaptic to give me equivalent information.]
Go to the menu bar, click on 'View', mark 'Hide old'; go to the menu
bar, click on 'View', click on 'Expand All'. This will show all the
packages found by the most recent 'Update' which have been added to
the active repositories since the previous 'Update' was run. This
list includes new packages which would not meet smart's upgrade
this criteria.
It has an icon for updating all packages, but none for updating
installed packages.
The leftmost toolbar icon ('Update channels') causes the indexes of
the active repositories to be read. This updates the information
smart has about all packages available at these depositories.
The next-to-rightmost toolbar icon ('Upgrade all packages') will
function (if confirmed) to mark (i.e., select for upgrade), from
among the packages whose info was previously fetched by 'Update',
those packages which meet smart's upgrade this criteria.
[Optionally, the 'Apply' can be performed directly from 'Upgrade'.]
The next-to-leftmost toolbar icon (Apply marked changes') will
perform (if confirmed) the actual upgrade (or whatever action had
been marked) of all packages currently marked.
It has no menu item for configuration or preferences.
True. Some things [for instance, which channels (i.e.,
repositories) will be looked at when 'Update' is run) are settable
from the Edit menu.
Information about advanced configuration parameters can be found at

Of course, if there is a nice, easy to read, howto, just tell me :-) If you use nat it is protected by the firewall, protected in the sense that unless you go in and specifically configure a routing, no inbound connections will be forwarded to the virtual machine. Ah, right. I was a bit fuzzy about it. So its just like being behind a router. You can establish outbound connection in the virtual machine using just about any package (web browser, telnet, ssh, email, etc). Its just like having a machine behind a little hardware router. Until or unless you open any inbound ports you are pretty well protected. Good. :-) So the windows virtual machine can be considered safe. You see, one of the reasons to try vmware is to avoid needing to boot windows just to use a single app. Knowing that it can be kept fairly safe is an added bonus. If you wanted to run a ssh SERVER in a virtual machine, using nat you would have to go to /etc/vmware/vmnet8/nat and edit nat.conf to include a line something like this: [incomingtcp] # SSH 8889 = 192.168.90.128:22 This would accept inbound connections on port 8889 and route them to the virtual machine on port 22. Ah, good to know, but I don't intend doing such things. Not for now, at least, but knowledge is always a good thing. You will then restart vmware, and as root in the host, you will see with netstat -anp that vmmet-natd is listening on port 8889 for you.

True. In most cases though the consequences of downtime might not be so apparent. That is the trouble. Once you start counting everything from delayed work of the users to the time of the admin better spend on productive work instead of repairing a miserable machine and many more things like your reputation if clients have to call for you notice that a machine broke down again, costs for downtime become prohibitive even for small companies.
