Re: Why do we have to support tmpfs for /var/run (policy changes in 3.8.1)

I'm all for enabling selinux per default, but I think it should be done, when it works and such a change shouldnt be done so close before a release. The point is, that libselinux1 is installed everywhere, but not used/enabled on default. So whats the point in installing it everywhere? I can't see why you're complaining about libselinux1 - it's just a library, and has to be installed everywhere since e.g. coreutils, sysvinit are linked against it. Like many libraries, it is quite happy to sit there doing nothing. The question is about installing policycoreutils and selinux-refpolicy-default. Was anyone suggesting enabling selinux by default for lenny? That doesn't seem sensible at this stage in the release cycle. Given that, it probably makes sense to reduce the policy priority, but with the intention of raising it again after lenny is released and making SELinux enabled by default a release goal for squeeze.

Re: is xprint still used by mozilla, etc?

Should I remove xprt-xprintorg from the desktop task again? I don't have a printer, so I find it hard to keep up with this kind of thing. IIRC the last install I did on a system with a printer, 2 weeks ago, worked without xprint, but I could be mistaken. Well I have a box which I installed from d-i RC1 some time ago (when that was current) with the base system only, and then did nothing with. Two weeks ago I started using it as a desktop machine. I did approximately (with sarge in /etc/apt/sources.list) apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get install x-window-system-core kdebase mozilla-firefox openoffice.org apt-get install cupsys-bsd cupsys-driver-gimpprint gs-esp and installed a home-compiled 2.6.11 kernel. I do not have xprt, xprt-common or xprt-xprintorg installed and can print fine from both Firefox and OOo. -- Martin Orr Linux Administrator, Methodist College Belfast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#293349: ITP: libpam-smb -- Pluggable Authentication Module authenticating from NT server
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Martin Orr [EMAIL PROTECTED] Package name: libpam-smb Version : 1.9.9+2.0.0-rc6 Upstream Author : Dave Airlie [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL : http://www.csn.ul.ie/~airlied/pam_smb/ License : GPL Description : Pluggable Authentication Module authenticating from NT server This is a PAM module, which can verify user passwords from Windows NT servers. It differs from winbind in that it does not require you to have administrative access to the NT domain in order to join it, and in that it does not contain an NSS module to obtain user account information from NT - only passwords. This package is present in woody (version 1.1.6) but was removed in 2003 following maintainer inactivity, and because Steve Langasek asserted that it was obsolete. Certainly winbind is to be preferred in most circumstances but I at least find this package useful because I am unable to get administrative access to the relevant NT domain. My current package is available at deb http://henry.methody.org/debian sid official -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.29 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- Martin Orr Linux Administrator, Methodist College Belfast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: NPTL support in 2.4 kernel series?

No. They'll see the debconf question, select abort installation, the
package will not be upgraded, the package will not be broken.
They still had to download a useless package and do an interactive update. And
if I am not mistaken, their running databases will have been stopped during
the
prerm-phase. So all in all, I would not consider this a pleasant experience.
Surely even with a dependency on kernel-image-2.6, this will only cause the
new kernel to be installed and will not magically replace the running 2.4
kernel (or uninstall it). So the databases will still be stopped until
there is a reboot, and you will need to use debconf to tell the user to
reboot (and to make sure to boot with the new kernel, which may not be the
default - I at least would strongly object to my /boot/vmlinuz{,.old} links
being altered when I didn't expect it).
