The most important thing (to a U.S. user) is to inform _all_ users that you do not guarantee reliable delivery of e-mail and that you do not guarantee that nobody will read their e-mail. You might even want to put this in your /etc/motd. This will remove some of your liability under the ECPA. However, even once you have done that, you can go to jail for intercepting the e-mail of one of your users and preventing it from being delivered without informing the other party. Most writers of anti-spam software are blissfully ignorant of this. Thus, do not cause it to time out in the message queue. Return an SMTP error immediately, so that the other party is informed of non-delivery. Bruce -- Can you get your operating system fixed when you need it?

Re: Is this the Debian Philosophy? (or.... $#@!@#$ bash 2.0!)
From: Jim Pick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does bash 2.01 solve the problem? We do update 'stable' - we're currently debating that strategy on the debian-private (developers only) mailing list right now. If bash 2.0 is sufficiently broken, then that might merit putting 2.01 into 'stable'. I'm going to have to set this straight, since Jim alluded to a discussion on our private list. The next version of the system will be called Debian 1.3.1 Revision 1. People who make long-term products based on Debian requested that we not change the version number of the system if we were only making a few bug fixes. For example, X windows was rebuilt because Richard Stallman requested that XDM display Debian GNU/Linux rather than just Debian Linux. It's worthwhile to insert that change, but not worthwhile to make everyone think they need to upgrade their systems because of it. Thus, we will not bump the release number to 1.3.2 for minor changes. This has been a large problem for some kinds of retailers, such as bookstores - they will not carry Debian unless we can promise them that we will give them a life-cycle longer than one month on their product. You will notice that both Red Hat and Slackware do not change their version numbers for bug fixes _at_all_. We will be changing the revision number, but not the release number.

Re: Is this the Debian Philosophy? (or.... $#@!@#$ bash 2.0!)
I think numbering things this way is a great idea. I would like to see Debian succeed(?) on and off, in the real world, the net. The one thing that I have always liked about Debian is the ability to be easy but not so easy that I have to be an ape to setup it up. I hope that with this move to the market place debian does not loose it's hack ability. As for Mr. Stallman and his problems with the exact name of Debian well I'll just say that if he wants an os of his own why dosen't he make one, yea I know about the HURD and such but hey when is the last time you picked up a copy of HURD Journal. Well enough bitting of the hand that feeds. The next version of the system will be called Debian 1.3.1 Revision 1.

Lilo boot get stuck after upgrade to 1.3.1
Hello, I've just upgraded one of my servers from 1.2 to 1.3.1 and now I can't boot using LILO. It gets stuck after printing LI. The kernel is 2.0.29 with Equinox multi-modem pull module and a compiled-in Sangoma Frame-Relay driver. It used to boot just fine until the upgrade. As it is now, I have to boot from a floppy (just copied the kernel to /dev/fd0 and reset the machine), but I need the floppy to be free for the Tripwire database. Re-running lilo didn't help. Nothing other than the upgrade of packages has changed (same kernel, same lilo config, same partitions, same hardware). Any ideas?

Re: man pages?
Hi.
I expose my problem whith man when I try help about some commands.
Supose that I want search xman help.
If I do man xman I get help about xman. But If I open the xman
application and search for help about it, I don't get help.
Well, you _can_ get help on xman in xman: choose Options/OpenNewManualPage,
and you'll get manual page for xman.
But you probably wanted to ask: why does Xman fail to show most of the
X manual pages in for exmaple section (1) User commands.
I suspect this is a bug in xman: most manaul pages of X applications
are in section 1x, not 1. And, choosing Section (1) User commands
only selects section 1 manual pages, not section 1x. (the files
they refere to live in a different directory too).
You might want to file a bug agianst xcontrib. (the package that
provides xman).

I have just come back from vacation, and will look at adding a --no-lookup flag to disable this behavior.

On Sat, 16 Aug 1997, Bruce Perens wrote: From: Jim Pick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does bash 2.01 solve the problem? We do update 'stable' - we're currently debating that strategy on the debian-private (developers only) mailing list right now. If bash 2.0 is sufficiently broken, then that might merit putting 2.01 into 'stable'. I'm going to have to set this straight, since Jim alluded to a discussion on our private list. The next version of the system will be called Debian 1.3.1 Revision 1. People who make long-term products based on Debian requested that we not change the version number of the system if we were only making a few bug fixes. For example, X windows was rebuilt because Richard Stallman requested that XDM display Debian GNU/Linux rather than just Debian Linux. It's worthwhile to insert that change, but not worthwhile to make everyone think they need to upgrade their systems because of it. Thus, we will not bump the release number to 1.3.2 for minor changes. This has been a large problem for some kinds of retailers, such as bookstores - they will not carry Debian unless we can promise them that we will give them a life-cycle longer than one month on their product. You will notice that both Red Hat and Slackware do not change their version numbers for bug fixes _at_all_. We will be changing the revision number, but not the release number. I'm unable to subscribe to debian-devel, or debian-private because neither is available in digest form. I've missed this discussion there, so forgive em if these have been answered, but i have some concerns about this. Is Debian not including fixes into the official CD image because of COMMERCIAL concerns??? Are the bug/security fixes there, but the name just not changed? Which is it? How does this naming convention have any impact on the contents of a CD if the changes are still there but the name not changed? It sounds strange to me that having a name last more than one month would have any impact on the contents if they're still being fixed/updated, etc. Also, on Richard Stallman, Is the FSF going to start selling Debian GNU/Linux CDs? Way back when, that was on there web site (I think), but then the whole mess happened, is now fixed, and looks like we're talking again. Any news of that? They used to say they might sell Gnu/Linux to fund other research, etc. Debian may do well to concede the official CD to them if they're interested. That would get us out of the CD business all together, and back in the Free Software business. Having someone else produce an officially endorced CD (as an OEM, for example) might clear up these kinds of mis-perceptions. A distribution based on putting quality first can't afford commercial conflicts of interest, lest our differentiating feature become bogus. I remember backing the decision to produce an official CD image at the time because of the need to improve our commercial viability, but we should checkpoint the effectiveness of that decision now and make sure our priorities haven't changed unintentionally. This is not an invitation to a flame war, nor is it a judgement. I just want to know what's happenning (as a debian user.) If Bruce says not to worry, I won't worry. But I'd like to know one way or another. Private mail is OK if this topic is being dubbed unfit for public discussion. I'm still a debian developer in that I still maintain a debian package.

Debian libc5 to libc6 Mini-HOWTO (regular posting, updated)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Debian libc5 to libc6 Mini-HOWTO Scott K. Ellis, [EMAIL PROTECTED] v1.6, August 17, 1997 Recent Changes: o Moved ldso above libc6, incase they have an ancient ldso. o Raised versions required for bash and libreadline(g)2 to the official maintainer versions to avoid possible version mismatch breakage. o Added a note saying that allowing dselect to upgrade the listed packages might result in an unbootable system. o Added ncurses3.0 to list of packages after realizing that libreadline2 depended on it. This may not be necessary, as everyone should already have ncurses3.0 installed. 1. Introduction The Debian project is currently in the process of putting together the next release of the Debian system. This version will utilize the new libc6, a replacement for the prior libc5 which includes many enhancements and brings the Linux C library back into sync with the GNU project. We are doing this in a way to allow you to continue to utilize your older software by providing development and operating environments for both C libraries. However, all packages in the new release will be linked with the new C library. This has made it slightly more difficult to install packages from the unstable branch of our development tree into a working system. There is a slight possibility of making your system unbootable in the process, this guide is intended to help you avoid such problems. 2. Requirements 2.1. Minimum Requirements The minimum list of packages to install to be able to run unstable- branch packages is below. Install these packages one at a time in exactly the order listed. When versions are mentioned, that is a minimum suggested version, any later version should also be acceptable. IMPORTANT: If you use dselect to do the initial upgrade to these packages, there is a very good possibility of breaking bash and therefore making your system unusable. o ldso_1.9.5-1 o libc6_2.0.4-1 o ncurses3.0_1.9.9e-2 o ncurses3.4_1.9.9g-3 o libreadline2_2.1-3 o libreadlineg2_2.1-3 o bash_2.01-1 2.2. Other Suggested Packages These packages are not absolutely essential for the functioning of the packages in unstable, but are still very useful. The new dpkg-dev may be necessary for unpacking source archives from unstable, and the new dpkg-ftp is needed if you wish to use the ftp method of dselect to upgrade your system to the unstable distribution. o libg++272_2.7.2.5-2 o dpkg_1.4.0.19 o dpkg-dev_1.4.0.19 o dpkg-ftp_1.4.9 3. Development If you wish to do libc6 development, you should first purge all the '-dev' packages on your system, the new development system will use packages with the suffix '-dev' for libc6 development and '-altdev' for libc5 development. You will wish to install the latest libc5 package, and altgcc if you wish continue to do libc5 development as well. Some libraries haven't been recompiled for the new libc6 yet, check that all your vital libraries are available before upgrading. Linking libc5-based libraries with libc6-based programs will have unpredictable results. 4. Concerns Note also that both the man-db and the libc6-dev packages currently include /usr/bin/gencat. The version of gencat in libc6-dev has been reported to cause segfault problems with man-db, you may wish to reinstall man-db after libc6-dev if you experience these problems. 5.

tty with non-standard irq
How do I set up a com port in debian that has a non standard irq?
The port I want to use is 0x2E8 irq2
This is what I tried.
edited /etc/rc.boot/0setserial and added this line:
${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS3 irq 2 port 0x2E8 skip_test autoconfig
${STD_FLAGS}
and commented out this line:
#AUTO_IRQ=auto_irq
(I think that this is when serial is loaded from /etc/modules) This is
what I see during boot up:
Serial driver version 4.13 with no serial options enabled
tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
tty03 at 0x02e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
(I think that this is when /etc/rc.boot/0setserial is called) After some
more things have started I see this:
Configuring serial ports...
done.
/dev/ttyS0 at 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS1 at 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS3 at 0x2e8 (irq = 2) is a 16550A
