automatically get the server up

Hi! I'd like to ask why my Debian server, on a power-down or black-out, always requests for root to do an fsck etc. Is there any way I can automatically get the server up and running again? Is this a good solution? Or is it better off having root to do a manual fsck etc first? Thanks! Umum

Re: burning CDs

see we still need some floppies to do an install? Is it possible that we install directly from the CD (e.g. bootable CD or something like that)? Wouldn't that be much better? Less fuss for Debian newbies? OK! Thanks... Umum Wijoyo -- Bandung, Indonesia

Debian 2.2 CDs

Hi! Would like to ask how I can make a copy of Debian 2.2 CDs? Can I just download the iso files from a Debian ftp server, and burn them to a CD? Would I need the boot floppies, or will the CDs be bootable? Are there any manuals on these stupid questions of mine...??? ;-p TIA Umum Wijoyo

quota error

Hi! I'd just like to ask: How come any of my users with a uid of 1024 (uid=1024), always experiences quota problems? Is there anything magical about the number 1024? (I know that 1 kb = 1024 bytes...) Or did I just set my system's quota incorrectly? OK! TIA... Umum Wijoyo

question on w

Hello... If anybody could help me: I've noticed that the w program on Potato/Frozen is a bit different from the one when I was still using Slink/Stable. What I mean is, the WHAT colom: it sometimes just displays a -, and not what the user is actually doing. How is this? I know there are a lot

Telnet security

The previous discussion on Telnet security interested me. I would thus like to ask: How do you tell that ssh is running during your Telnet/Rlogin connection? How do you set-up ssh to work? I'm afraid I've been thinking that ssh was already working on my Linux box, but actually it wasn't...??? :-p
