I want to log in to see the directory structure that is on nu.novell.com. I have a local yum server that someone else maintains (and is on vacation). I ran the move to sles10 sp2 patch and when I went back into online update, there were no patches available.
This leads me to believe that the sp2 patches were not downloaded to the local server. I wanted to compare the directory structures of the 2 servers. Btw: the deviceid and secret files are all hex characters. Are they actually the user name and password ? -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Post Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 11:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: express password ? >>> On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 7:52 AM, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Levy, Alan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I tried to login to http://nu.novell.com this morning and it prompted me > for a username and password.

If not, you have to do that first. Then, once you have nu.novell.com as an update source, look at /etc/zmd/deviceid for the userid, and /etc/zmd/secret for the password.
