That way i could boot the kernel i wanted, to test it with the hardware.. (The early 10. and 10.1 kernels failed to start-up the powermanager, which resulted in a constantly noisy rotating fan.) Now, in 10.2, these sizes are changed, that is the reason that now only one-and-a-half kernel fits in 15M, now there is only 38% free, to be correct. 5.9M free, from 15.4M, and symsets and symtypes are added.. We have: initrd:3M, vmlinuz:1,5M vmlinux.gz:2M. Ofcourse grub resides in /boot.

Is that doable? I would like to be able to configure lmits for both upload download rates. Also I think that Firewall module is the correct place to do that. This is needed when working in LAN environment, with single shared Internet connection, so that you won't steal all the Internet bandwidth from your parents/friends/colleagues. (At Home/LAN party/Work). Unfortunately, not all Routers can do that. YaST Firewall is only an UI for configuring /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2. All features, that are configurable via that sysconfig file could be configured in YaST (not all features are supported now, of course). The only traffic limiting can be set up in FW_HTB_TUNE_DEV variable. It configures upstream using HTB (Hierarchical Token Bucket), http://www.lartc.org, and it uses unit kbit/s. Adding lnussel as a developer/maintainer of SuSEfirewall2. L. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Swap Manager (Yast GUI to manage swap files partitions) 2. FTP Server (Yast GUI to manage vsFTPd) 3. SSH Server (Yast GUI to manage openssh) 4.

The documentation I found is very scarse poor, disallowing me to write anything useful - anything beyond Hello World in YCP. I would like you to recall that Yast has no been updated since SUSE 9.x times (except maybe AppArmor) and people saw no new modules since then. I think it is time to revise what we have.

Your problem is to have a /boot partition altogether. They haven't been needed in many years. If you decide to make a /boot anyway and make it only 15M, it's your own fault. ;) Only way is throw everything away, or move it across a network, burn it on a dvd... Of course you do this every so often anyway? Well I do. Are there no others who would want to realy controle the volumes? I believe LVM has given you this functionality for many years now.

And you can't do name-based virtual hosting with FTP, only IP based virtual hosting. Yes I can do. Open your mind ;) It is easy to run one vfstpd per port, on the same IP address. Which is about the same as running one per IP address on the same port as far as virtual hosting (haha) is concerned. My interest isn't in virtual hosts anyway, but in directory mapping: /usr/dir1/- ftp://../dir1/ /data/suse/ - ftp://../suse/ /disk/big/- ftp://../big/ It's not so difficult to support this via init.d runlevel script, and I'm thinking of implementing it.

Open your mind ;) It is easy to run one vfstpd per port, on the same IP address. Which is about the same as running one per IP address on the same port as far as virtual hosting (haha) is concerned. My interest isn't in virtual hosts anyway, but in directory mapping: Aaah, ok. Sorry, my bad. I implied vhosting. Running FTP on non-standard ports isn't a very good idea though - IMHO. /usr/dir1/ - ftp://../dir1/ /data/suse/ - ftp://../suse/ /disk/big/ - ftp://../big/ Ok. Yeah, that sucks with all FTP daemons except ProFTPd. AFAICR, ProFTPd has directory mapping configuration directives, pretty much like Apache's aliases. OTOH, the use of ProFTPd isn't really encouraged -- vsftpd has a much better security record. Didn't check pure-ftpd recently. - From what I've tried to do with it, vsftpd is not very flexible wrt directory mapping. One base directory for anonymous, period. It's not so difficult to support this via init.d runlevel script, and I'm thinking of implementing it. How would you do that with vsftpd ? Alternatively I can arrange my disks to suit vsftpd, which I'm not going to do, or use mount --bind. mount --bind is an option (too bad hard links don't work across partitions, but mount --bind does pretty much the same, even though it's limited to directories, but that's something everyone can live with, I guess). Sorry, I don't understand how you'd want to configure such directory mappings with vsftpd (and without mount --bind) ... ? cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFaMpHr3NMWliFcXcRAg2pAKCl5gM74JbG4lgZIkCyfN04qF0d8QCfRHQb Dusgxi5irU+6mMTzlaog+7E= =IF4S -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse-factory] Massive Feature Request of new Yast Modules for 10.3
Your problem is to have a /boot partition altogether. They haven't been needed in many years. If you decide to make a /boot anyway and make it only 15M, it's your own fault. ;) That's not completely true, they are needed with older hardware. I doubt that. My oldest hardware is 97/98 and it doesn't need it. Those boxes (of mine) have 64MB RAM max, SUSE doesn't even install on that any more since 10.0(?). Question: how many systems out there which have 128MB RAM need a separate /boot partition? My answer is very few, if any.

This is a missing functionality in vsftpd in the first place, of course, but setting up vsftpd is still a *lot* easier + faster than doing the same with apache. Yes and no. Alias directives in Apache are pretty easy to set up ;) You might find it easy, but vsftpd is still 10x easier. And before you can put an alias, you have to set up the whole damn lot. Not my choice for when I just want. Running FTP on non-standard ports isn't a very good idea though - IMHO. Entirely depends on what you want it for. On the LAN anything goes. It's not so difficult to support this via init.d runlevel script, and I'm thinking of implementing it. How would you do that with vsftpd ? One process per port and directory to serve, with editing a file in /etc/sysconfig/ being the most required to set it going by init.d/vsftpd. Minimum data required would be ftp root directory, optional port number, optional config file (default /etc/vsftpd.conf). mount --bind is an option (too bad hard links don't work across partitions, You'd have to hardlink a directory! Even if the filesystem supports it (which do?), mount --bind might be the better option.
