Re: Boot kernel in order to test hardware?
I. Tura [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Due to the fact that I don't know if the hardware still runs well, is it a good idea to run a floppy kernel ten times consecutively, for example, to take an initial (or decent) idea of the health of the hardware? Maybe that's not telling you much, but how about booting it up with some floppy-linux, and running badblocks? http://www.toms.net/rb/ -- M.

Re: sound problems
Dietmar [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: After installing helix-gnome onto potato I realized that everything freezes whenever I play mp3s. After deactivating soundeffects for sawfish(probably using libesd) that did not happen any more. Until now, I didn't try gnome-audio.deb. Anybody had that problem before? What could it be? Same problem with gnome-1.0. When ypu are playing mp3's, and gnome/windowmanager/whoever tries to use sound, it's getting jammed for waiting to get sound writen to sound driver. Only solution for me is disable sounds from all programs. My soundcard is some es1370-based SB. -- M.

Re: linux NIS+NT
Marcin Kurc [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is there a way to somehow synchronize NIS passwords with NT server? Any good solutions? With samba, you can get SMB-passwd and unix passwd synchroniced, when passwd is changed on samba-server. Then you can run make in /var/yp with cron. But if you want to use NT as master, there's no options avalable, unless M$ provides NIS server also. This is because passwords are in both systems crypted, with different way, and you can't get one from another. -- M.

Re: About Centralizing Passwords
Benjamin Hudgens [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is there a client/server protocol that supports centralizing password AND session information other than NIS. If I'm not mistaken, NIS requires that you STILL edit the password file and specify user dirs.. etc. Perhaps I'm reading this wrong.. Yes, you are reading wrong. With NIS you get full passwd,group, alias, ... entries, just like they were local. I consider safety beeing only problem in NIS. And all machines jammed totally if NIS server is down, even logging in as root (local account)... -- M.

Apt and dselect dis-agree what should be done
Why quite often with newly upgraded system, dselect still would install some packages, and maybe get some problems? I mean situation, where I run apt-get upgrade, then enter to dselect (to look after some suitable packages for task XXX), dselect is automatically marking some packages for install. It's ok for me, but when it's getting some conflicts, then I'm puzzled, what should I do? I use dselect sometimes, when I don't know what is name of package, or I want to browse what I have installed. And aptitude is not working... -- M.

e-mail to leafnode-server?
Anybody having already done this: 1) get e-mail list put in single file in on-line connected computer by procmail 2) Copy this file to dialup-connected computer 3) Put e-mails from that file to local leafnode-server. I have already done 1 and 2, and having leafnode running. Sometimes I don't have enough time to read debian mailing lists, and I'd like them to expire automatically without reading. In gnus you can get them expire n days after reading, but I prefer them expiring n days after arrival. This would also give access to debian maling list to other users, without need to subscribe everybody to lists. Any help/ideas welcome. (Would be nice if debian-user would be newsgroup instead of e-mail list) -- M.
