Have been using it for about three years since Etch. The Gramps group is very active, so it changes quickly. But would recommend staying with the stable package.

Group - users, GID 100 - intenstion
What is the purpose and intent of the Group users, GID #100? Is this to be populated with all normal users? I have such a purpose, but not sure whether to use Group users or create a new Group (like everyone) for that purpose. I do assume that some files are created by the system with the Group users since it is a standard Group. I did notice if you do not have a User added to the Group Users, then he does not have access automatically. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

(A quick Google search suggests that's a sign of kernel panic.) The only remedy is to hold down the power button until it powers down. The reason I suspect Network-Manager is twofold: (1) the freeze only happened when I had the machine hard-wired to my network, and (2) syslog showed lots of wlan0 activity - trying to connect, being denied a DHCP address - just before the freeze occurs. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I don't want to file a bug report against Network-Manager unless I'm pretty sure it's the culprit. it was happening to me with an atheros chip and ath5k module.

Re: Rsync Permissions Issue
Hal Vaughan wrote: I'm trying to use rsync to back up from one computer to another. Recently I had used NIS so all my systems had the same user on them so there was never a permission issue. Now I'm trying to back up from my iMac to my Debian server. I can't put the iMac on NIS (or probably could, but it would NOT be fun to set up, I'm sure). In the past I could use: rsync -av server::Writing /data/Writing And all my writing would be backed up from the local /data/writing to the server. Now that I'm not using NIS, I use: rsync -av m...@server::Writing /data/Writing I get errors when I do that, so after some tinkering, I got some directories to back up and I see that rsync is saving the files as nobody:nogroup or with the user number 65534. My understanding of rsync is that if I use n...@system::Service that it logs into that server using the specified username, but since rsync is saving files as nobody, then that's not happening. I do have the systems set up so the server does not allow password logins via ssh and the guest (the iMac) is known user with the rsa id on the server and when I want to ssh to the server, just ssh server will get me logged in. What do I need to do to tell rsync on the host system (the server) to use the specified user name? I don't know it this is any help.
