dhcp ip addresses

Hi all, I'm using pump on SID. My ISP is a cable provider who do not issue static ips. Usually, when I use pump, I have the same ip address for months, unless I switch off the modem and someone else grabs it. When I reboot into windows on the same machine, I get another ip address, then when I

Re: dhcp ip addresses

-get remove --purge and install the other. Only dhcpcd from stable gives me another ip. I'm using SID, so is there a way to use pump or dhclient to drop the current ip that they insist on giving me and force them to look for a different one? -- Eric Boo Sunday, July 29, 2001, 10:46 AM 26 minutes

extending yppasswd max password length?

Hi all, I'm using sid's nis package. I noticed that when changing a password using yppasswd, it seems to truncate the password, even if one keys in a password that consists of say 12 characters. So after the password is changed (password = 1234567890ab), i can log in using 1234567890cd or so.

port 443 problem?

Hi all, I'm using SID. I installed apache-ssl and even though it loaded without any error messages, i realized that netstat -an|grep 443 gives nothing. ps aux shows that gcache is running. So i purged it and install apache + mod-ssl. Port 80 works but netstat -an|grep 443 still gives nothing.

list of installed packages messed up

Hi all, I just realized that many packages which I've installed cannot be removed because according to dpkg -s and apt-get, they aren't installed (eg gpm), when they really are installed. What do I do? Thanks. -- Eric Boo Sunday, May 27, 2001, 12:27 PM 13 hours and 3 minutes http

Re: list of installed packages messed up

Hi, How do I at least get page up to work when I'm viewing man pages? Right now all I get are beeps when I try the page-up and page-down keys. Page-down isn't so important as I can use the spacebar instead. Neither do the up and down arrows work. Using SID. -- Eric Boo Wednesday, June 27
