You might want to look at the Linux Router Project:
http://www.psychosis.com/linux-router/
which is building a Debian-ish single floppy router.
Also, it's worth noting that you can format 3.5'' floppies to contain up to

The only real problem with it for this use, is that if the link dies
completely, I think rsync discards the partial image.
Other than that, it is muck more likely to result in a bit-for-bit copy of the

Hi,
I need to add a couple of lines to /etc/hosts.allow in qmail, because
otherwise qmail will not work under inetd. I presume I'm not supposed to
create packages that edit other packages conffiles, so how do I deal with this
?
The lines I need to add are of the form:
smtp: .YOUR.DOMAIN.:
For example, with the diff package:
Package: diff
- cmp works on identical and different binary or text files
- diff works on files, directories, normal or 2 column
- sdiff correctly merges two files
- diff3 correctly compares 3 files
It seems a shame to have to ask people to do this

I need to connect a Linux box to an NT server over a dial-up line. The NT
box uses a Remote Access Server. I remember seeing a discussion of this
recently, but can't find the reference in my mail archives. Can anyone
clue me in as to what package/howto I need to look at to deal with this?

You need to enable ms_chap in PPP --- see README.MSCHAP80
Thanks...read it. Is there any reason, besides the libraries that this
hasn't been simply built into our standard ppp package?
Not that I've noticed.
How much bigger does it get if you static link libpam and libdes?
