There are at least two options. ;) 1) Stop inetd all together if you don't run any services through inetd (or xinetd). 2) Or just edit /etc/inetd.conf (or a file in /etc/xinet.d/ if you run xinetd) to let it not listen on port 21.

provisioning and configuration tools
Hi Folks, Just wondering what folks are using in the way of various provisioning and configuration tools. I'm currently doing things manually, and using various shell scripts accumulated over the years - but starting to think about some scalability issues, and what it takes to manage more than a few servers. Looking at tools like FAI for provisioning; puppet, chef, and such for configuration; rundeck, controltier, capistrano for orchestration. Focusing particularly on Debian environments, and even more so on Xen virtualization with Debian Dom0 and DomUs. Not quite ready to buy the DevOps koolaid; tend to favor shell scripts, pipes, ssh over puppet/chef-like approaches, agents, and all that. But.. the idea of using a database for configuration stuff, scripts that can suck things from database, tools for managing scripts, and building blocks that can be glued together (e.g., things that are easily composed with pipes, or present RESTful interfaces) is pretty attractive. In that regard, rundeck looks attractive. Sort of wondering what other folks are using, have used, experiences, suggestions, comments, etc. Thanks, Miles Fidelman -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.

Might help others in your situation. i will try ;-) Since i debootstrapt my system and have different partitions for /, swap, /usr, /var, /tmp and /home directories i had to set the mount options in /etc/fstab manually. The easiest way was to take an existing, working /etc/fstab file, which in my case, since i am using lvm2 with labels on my other machine was: *** LABEL=root / ext2defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0 LABEL=lv_usr /usr ext3 defaults,noatime,nodev 0 2 LABEL=lv_var /var ext3 defaults,noatime,nosuid,nodev 0 2 LABEL=lv_tmp /tmp ext3 defaults,noatime,nosuid,nodev 0 2 LABEL=lv_home /home ext2 defaults,noatime,nosuid,nodev 0 2 *** i simply changed LABEL=lv_* with /dev/sda? for correct partitions. As a result the partitions seemed to be mounted read only for the user. And X crashed with different errors :-/ I still was able to write in /home and /tmp. But after changing the mount options for the last 3 to rw,nosuid,nodev and rw,nodev for /usr X works without problems. I am not sure which partition and which option made the difference.

Re: Latest Linux Kernel 3.x.x Series Compiled for Ubuntu and Debian Linux
Concur with Henrique. If you really want the latest Debian offers, the proper way to do it would be to add the experimental repository to your sources.list. The OP offers, among others, 3.3.0rc7. Debian experimental has 3.3.0rc6 in the repo. That one minor version bump is not worth the risk. That is one of the strengths of Debian, is that 99.9% of all the software is in Debian's native repositories. The other 0.1% is generally set up by companies (e.g. OpsView or Opera), and is in a proper repository...And signed by their gpg key. I too would earnestly avoid a kernel (or most other software) posted to a mailing list by a random user and using mediafire as a distribution medium...

You get your mail with getmail then filter into mailboxes?
Do you use procmail or maildrop or something else.
Example:
I use fetchmail:
fetchmail -m "/usr/bin/maildrop"
That tells fetchmail to use the mail delivery agent maildrop
In .mailfilter (maildrop's config file), I have something like this:
(Note the slash after the directory name e.g. IN-dunlug/)
^
This tells maildrop it is a maildir, no slash and it would be mbox
(see below on directory structure)

However it wouldn't cause the problem he described, which was a failure to find a particular file in the *online* repository. My *guess* is the file his system was looking for was no longer there - apt-get update *should* have fixed that. I just thought it strange that he should be getting served a different IP address to what I get. Possibly that's his ISP's DNS cache.

The mediafire.com download link for the PDF document I have written is Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?w1arfubbwsc3171 There is a total of 254 pages in the PDF document, but the most important steps are in the first 8 pages.

Hello, Scott, The sources.list used by Bret has one of the CD entries not commented out. This you have not included in the sources.list as used by you. Might this have caused a problem?

If you'd installed using the expert mode you'd've been asked your region and given a list of local mirrors to choose from. No matter.
