WHOA! You tried to change your password?

Bugzilla uses the same login/pass as the forum. Actually, it should not
even ask for it if you are logged into the forums.

But there are currently some infrastructure problems.

If it does not accept the same login/pass as here, and you tried to
change it, you could be in trouble, and need to contact admins to clear
that out.

Also, there are problems on some opensuse.org pages not working
correctly or at all with Firefox. Just learned about that some minutes ago.

Ah, I understand.

Well, in Linux all services run in text mode (daemons, to be precise,
with text file configs). Sometimes, you have graphic interfaces to them,
but not always, and often incomplete.

Hi there,

today was Godzilla uh, sorry Bugzilla in a much better mood: :wink:

Bug 863226 Submitted
It even knew me while switching from the forum to the bugzilla page.

Cheers, Joe

Finally back where I can work on this. DNS is not working correctly on the local NIC. I did the whole setup of DNS and then DHCP with a made up cert. DHCP is ignoring my address preferences.

So I guess I must remove DHCP and DNS so that I can set up dsnmasq… I need this firewall/DHCP/DNS machine to work so that I can get better logging than the Netgear F/W appliance does.
