HowTo Configure a network card in Suse/openSUSE 10, 11 for LAN and Internet Access.
This is a story told in screenshots, about configuring network interfaces in Yast. It's for fixed networks e.g. a SOHO LAN (where a Network manager is not appropriate). If you frequently switch between networks you should use a Network Manager rather than the GUI in Yast.
Here are some of the focus areas:
- • Suse's default interface configuration for DHCP addressing.
- • DHCP addressing with manually defined gateway and DNS servers
- • Fixed IP addressing
- • Networking names: the hostname and the domain or workgroup name
- • Internet Name Servers: where to look for resolution of domain names to IP addresses
- • Routing: The IP address of the gateway to the Internet
I'm in a hurry, just tell me which pictures to use.
- • For the default DHCP configuration use Pics 1 to 6 inclusive
- • For DHCP on steroids use Pics 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
- • Fixed IP addressing use Pics 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9

Printer Sharing: Windows Print Server for Suse/openSUSE Linux Clients
Simply put: it's about printing to a Windows computer from a Linux computer using Either Samba's SMB/CIFS Protocol or LPD Printing.
Versions: Suse / openSUSE 10.x, 11.x clients with Windows XP and Vista servers
In this tutorial you share a printer on a Windows host as a print server for Linux clients using Samba networking. We will discuss two independent, alternative options, namely LPD protocol and SMB (Samba) protocol. This HowTo assumes CUPS is used for printing. Samba of course is installed and running.
The reverse scenario where you share a printer on a Linux host as a print server for Linux clients is covered in two other tutorialsl: Linux IPP Printer Sharing and Linux Samba Printer Sharing.

Printer Sharing: Suse/openSUSE 10.x 11.x IPP Print Server for Linux & Windows Clients
Simply put: it's about printing to a Linux computer from either a Linux computer or a Windows computer using the Internet Printing Protocol, IPP
Versions: Suse / openSUSE 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10,3, 11.0, 11.1
In this tutorial you share a printer on a Linux host as a print server for both Windows and Linux clients using the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). An alternative protocol, netBIOS over TCPIP (NBT or Samba) is covered in a separate Tutorial: Linux Samba Printer Sharing. I think that sharing a printer by IPP is easier than sharing by Samba. The reverse scenario where you share a printer on a Windows host as a print server for Linux clients is covered in a third Tutorial: Windows Printer Sharing. This HowTo assumes CUPS is used for printing. Also note that IPP printing is independent of Samba. Samba does not need to be running.

Resetting a forgotten MySQL root password
Resetting the root password of a MySQL database is trivial if you know the current password if you don't it is a little tricker. Thankfully it isn't too difficult to fix, and here we'll show one possible way of doing so.
If you've got access to the root account already, because you know the password, you can change it easily:
user@system:~$ mysql --user=root --pass mysql
Enter password:
mysql> update user set Password=PASSWORD('new-password-here') WHERE User='root';
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.04 sec)
Rows matched: 2 Changed: 2 Warnings: 0
mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
mysql> exit
Bye
