Bug#718970: please add configurable connect delay

2013-08-07 Thread Marc Haber
Package: mssh
Version: 1.2-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Hi,

when I have to go through a proxy host, for example by using the
famous -o "proxycommand jumphost nc %h %p", I might run into a
connection rate limit on the jumphost when I mssh to many hosts
through the same jump host.

This might be mitigated by having a configuration option like "only
connect to X hosts in Y seconds", resulting in "open X connections
simultaneously, sleep Y seconds, open the  next X connections, sleep
again, repeat".

Greetings
Marc

Bug#724574: please document what the modules are needed for

2013-09-24 Thread Marc Haber
Package: open-vm-tools-dkms
Severity: minor

Hi,

from trying, it looks like Open-vm-tools work fine with basic
functionality if one does not install the kernel modules inside the VM.

Please document (for example in the package description) what
functionality is lost if one runs open-vm-tools without the kernel
modules. This is necessary for the local admin to take an informed
decision.

Greetings
Marc

In this case, the gensio-bin package contains some tools, one of which
is written in python (and seldomly used).

That would be nice. Thanks!

Actually, the debian-sys-maint user is, afaik, only meant for
mysql-package internal use. The correct way to do things would
probably be to ask for the root PW and then to create a non-root user
which is used from there on.

Having a non-root user btw breaks all updates of the otrs package
since the maintainer scripts barf if they cannot connect as root.

Tries to reproduce have been unsuccessful. The cause must have been
something that is not present any more. Since unreproducible bugs are
hard to fix, the bug can be closed.

Bug#289393: "No space left on device." Which device?

2005-01-08 Thread Marc Haber
Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 0.13.4-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

rdiff-backup puts hundreds of megabytes of temporary files on /tmp,
happily overflowing it, and then throws a unhandled exception after
outputting "No space left on device".

(1)   If a device overflows, rdiff-backup should have the courtesy of
  telling the user _which_ device suffered the overflow.
(2)   Unhandled exceptions are bad.

Bug#289395: how to control /tmp directory?

2005-01-08 Thread Marc Haber
Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 0.13.4-3
Severity: normal

rdiff-backup writes hundreds of megabytes to /tmp, possibly
overflowing it. If the program has the possibility to control the
target directory for the temporary files, the manpage should mention
it.

If the program always writes to /tmp, the temporary directory should
be configurable either by command line option, or per environment
variable.

To make things worse, whatever creates this log message doesn't take a

Worse. If the receiving side does post-DATA checking of the message, and
systemd sends SIGKILL to the exim process on the sending side, the
receiving side might continue delivery without the sending side noticing
the confirmation (it's already dead by then). During the next exim queue
run, the message will be delivered a second time.

In this case, 5 seconds of extra wait would probably not be enough.

memtest86+.elf on the same system runs fine if booted from an USB stick
with grub-pc (not grub-efi). Is that a possible indication that the
system doesn't run with EFI? I'd like to keep it running until tomorrow.

I can confirm that the X121e has its boot mode set to "Legacy only". The
T520 will be running the test until tomorrow morning.

The T520 is set to "UEFI/Legacy Boot: Both" and "UEFI/Legacy Boot
Priority: Legacy First".

Bug#228564: gnats: Please update Dependencies to exim4

2004-01-19 Thread Marc Haber
Package: gnats
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

gnats currently has a dependency (either Depends:, Recommends: or
Suggests:) on

  exim|mail-transport-agent

As exim4 is now the default mta for sarge, could you please update
this to

  $dependency: exim4|mail-transport-agent?

That change will ease the transition from exim to exim4. I would greatly
appreciate to have a package of gnats in sarge with the updated
dependency.

Greetings
Marc

Does this still apply with the current package? If so, please help to 
reproduce this.

I intend to close this bug by the end of October 2025 if the bug is not 
reproducible by then.

With ferm's upstream development having slowed down, it is unlikely that 
Upstream would implement this. And I don't want to flood the upstream 
issue tracker with wishlist requests.

If this is still important for you, please consider filing an upstream 
request yourself.

A patch implementing this would be appreciated. Therefore tagging this 
bug "help".

Greetings
Marc
