Bug#2081: named does not start
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Jean-Marc Bourguet w rites: PS=`ps -p $PID 2/dev/null| tail -1 | grep named` You might want to make this PS=`ps -p $PID 2/dev/null| tail -1 | grep named | grep -v grep` so that it doesn't pick up the grep process as well. Mike. -- I thought I'd something more to say.
Bug#2081: named does not start
Package: bind Version: 4.9.3-BET-1 From time to time, named didn't start when booting. After some search, I've found that it was when fsck checked the disks. The problem was caused by the code in ndc which checks the presence of named: it checks only the presence of a process with the PID in /var/run/named.pid. So I suggest to change the line 19 of /usr/sbin/ndc PS=`ps -p $PID 2/dev/null| tail -1 | grep $PID` by PS=`ps -p $PID 2/dev/null| tail -1 | grep named` so that only a process called named with the right PID will cause ndc thinks that named is running. -- Jean-Marc Bourguet PS: Please, send any related mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as this system is not correctly set up yet (The reply-to field is correctly set).
Bug#2082: X11R6: Everybody can remove the contents of /tmp/.X11-unix
Package: (X11R6) Version: 3.1.2 Every user can remove the contents of /tmp/.X11-unix during an X11 session. If I try to start a new program then I get the following error message: TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 2 The permissions of the .X11-unix should probably be changed from rwxrwxrwx to a more restrictive mode (maybe with the t bit).

The following problem reports have not yet been marked as `taken up' by a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or or `forwarded' by a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The maintainer listed against each package is derived from the Maintainer field of the package as found in the development tree; there is an override file that can be amended to get the right results if you have taken over a package and do not expect to issue a new version soon.

Bug#2083: machine hangs when ftping large file

Nope... use the mirror account buster with password fsf/gnu Bruce the problem is that i had to add debian as a guest group causing your login to become a chroot() to your home account. Mainly because mirrors were complaining about the /debian/ type of problem if they all just tsuck to debian/ then there would not have been a problem.
