For my link archive: ISO links to openSUSE Leap 15.5 – Get openSUSE

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/15

For my link archive some ISO links via [Wayback/Archive] openSUSE Leap 15.5 – Get openSUSE as I am steadily working my way back into IT and Software Development so I was anxious to see what has changed on this front. In the past I usually ran OpenSuSE Tumbleweed, but now I am going for OpenSuSE Leap versions that are stable for a longer period of time as per [Wayback/Archive] Lifetime – openSUSE Wiki

Leap Major Release (15.x) extends maintenance and support until a successor. At present, a successor has not been declared; Leap 15’s lifecycle fully aligns with SUSE Linux Enterprise. There is a projection as of March 2021 that Leap 15 will extend to Leap 15.5. The previous major version of Leap, 42, was supported for more than 36 months, while the current major version of Leap, 15, would then have up to 72 months of support (12×6).

How to change system hostname in SUSE

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/21

The proper way is not manually changing /etc/hostname, but running this::

hostnamectl set-hostname host

[Wayback] How do I restart sshd on my Unix system | StarNet Knowledge Database – PC X, X Windows, X 11 & More – StarNet

RedHat and Fedora Core Linux

/sbin/service sshd restart

Suse linux

/etc/rc.d/sshd restart

Debian/Ubuntu

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

Solaris 9 and below

/etc/init.d/sshd stop
/etc/init.d/sshd start

Solaris 10

svcadm disable ssh
svcadm enable ssh

AIX

stopsrc -s sshd
startsrc -s sshd

HP-UX

/sbin/init.d/secsh stop
/sbin/init.d/secsh start

Note that for opensuse, by now you need this to restart sshd:

/usr/sbin/rcsshd restart

OpenSuSE tumbleweed switched to using /etc/sudoers.d which broke yast module sudo somewhere mid 2020

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/11/09

Mid 2020, I re-installed a Raspberry Pi 2 box based on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed.

To my susprise the yast2 module sudo could not write the configuration.

It appeared that /etc/sudoers had become readonly and a new /etc/sudoers.d was created.

You can use visudo to edit files in that directory without potentially losing changes in /etc/sudoers during upgrades. I think that is a good move.

To bad the yast module failed because of it.

More on visudo and the /etc/sudoers.d directory:
