Re: Problem installing mount in Sid amd64!
Hey again, Problem "solved". One thing led to another, and i had to reinstall my machine. Couldnt get it booted again, after my force-shutdown. Grub was fscked... Forcing it down after 200+ uptime is no good, And especially just not have unstable but also has Experimental packages installed. DOH!

mailinglists and mailclient usage?
Hey debian-user@ ! (basic question) I was wondering, if i handle the mailinglist threads, the correct way. So, i find a thread and i select the message that i want to reply to.. (the thread was created by, lets say, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the one that wrote something i like to comment on was lets say,[EMAIL PROTECTED]) I press "Reply" in my mailclient (evolution btw) and i get the [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the "To:" field. i change that to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is that the way to do it?! I belive someone had commented on my way of using the mailinglist a while ago.. Just wanted to know! Thanks in advance. /smurfd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
hmm debian.org..?
Hmm well i might be totaly out of line here,but dont you think, that IF it were a real threat, that someone over at Debian would have commented it, and since the one claiming the server 'problem' would have had some real proof? Have a little faith in the debian folks! I sure do! What i dont trust, is some one claiming such things, and not having a @debian.org mailadress :) So what, its a new revision release coming up, they surely know that there will be a lot for the servers to do. so they take them down, and upgrade all packages. and perhaps throw in some tuning.. or something.. Relax, they will sure post a note about it soon enough, especially if they notice all the Roumble it has created on this list ;) /smurfd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Where to announce?
Hmm after reading most of the documentation, what it takes to become a official Debian developer, i think i may start by posting a .tar file somewhere First! About the application in question : --- name : apt-state what it does : apt-state gives you the possibillity to 'save' or 'apply' a "state" of packages installed. ie. lets say you have gone through the process to finaly get all the packages you want installed, then you can save a list of all the packages installed, to lateron be able to apply the list of packages when you re-install your system. And lets say you have a network of a number of machines, and want the same "base" of packages installed on all of them, you would simply 'apply' the list you saved from the 1st machine. So, it is perhaps not a extremly important program, but i think it is a good-to-have program. Hmm and ... it only looks at the name of the package, not the version or date or .. so for this to work, you will have to manually check that your sources.list file is the same, when you save,and when you apply. And, PLEASE!! use with care, i dont want to be hold responsible if anything should crash your system(not that i think it would).. And yeah, i run it on a x86 machine.. Get a .tar.bz2 file here : http://smurfd.netfirms.com/src/apt-state-0.1.tar.bz2 Try it, and tell me what you think, and what changes that You think would be good.. Oh yeah, BTW, its still under development, so i have some additional output that will be removed later.

apt-get install pkg and remove pkg on the same line?!
Hey there Debian-user list, ive been thinking, (not well enough, as it seems). How does dselect do, when you select/deselect packages to be added/removed ? i mean, can you type yourself, like on one line.. apt-get install packages remove packages? Im not meaning apt-get install packages; apt-get remove packages you see, so it would collect all packages in need to be added, and all packages that needs to be removed..

The host in this case is AOL, so its very real.. And since its such a large host/isp its not sertain, wether or not its spamm mail adresses or realones. These 'someones' is not anyone that i have ever recived/mailed from/to before. Yeah, if i do tail -f /var/log/exim/mainlog it never stops scrolling down.. Thanks, ill try clearing my queue list. But since i did a fresh install (what i ment with that, is that i did re-format all my partitions and installed a fresh new system on them, since i got "paranoied" and thought for a secound that my system was compromized.) it should have been cleared, the queue list. Well i guess i have to get buissy then, reading more on smtp & exim.

smtp server, hammered to death?
Hey there, i dont know where to put this, so i thought that debian-user would be best. I recently read a great article on debianplanet, that was about how to setup a courier/exim (imap / smtp) server. Everything worked out fine, until after say a week.. then i heard one night, that the box started working like a madone. i checked, it had a loadaverage above 50,00. so i pulled the tcp cable.. the day after i saw in the logs what looked like some mailservers had been using me as a relay or something .. so i tighened the security up alot with blocking all the incoming/outgoing/forwarded trafic at my(local) gateway fron that hosts mx:es. Then i got my /var/log/exim/mainlog file filled with lines looking like : 2003-09-08 06:25:13 19w88k-0005Cw-00 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] T=remote_smtp defer (110): Connection timed out Where the host is always the same, and the someone differs..

Hm im not using kpkg, im using the old fashioned way: make menuconfig, make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install I thought it wouldnt make any difference.

problem regarding kernel 2.4.18 and grsecurity 1.9.4 (in woody)
Hey folks, im not sure if this is a bug or if im doing something wrong. Ive been having problems compiling the 2.4.18 kernel with the grsecurity 1.9.4 patch applied.
