Re: missing debian-user-digest list??
Hi,
Does anybody have any idea what has happened to this list? I haven't
received a single message from this list in over 2 weeks...does anyone have
any clue? I did notice a post on this subject last week or so, but haven't
heard any responses from anyone. I have even tried re-subscribing under a
new account, using a different machine, to eliminate any phantom procmail
configurations or such
If you too are experiencing this, could you let this be known?
I find the traffic on debian-user way too busy...but also feel almost
starved without debian-user-digest...
kindest regards,
--ibs.

Re: missing debian-user-digest?
Hi,
A number of subscribers seem to be having problems with the digests of the
debian-user mailing list. I am also one of these "sufferers" in that I have
_not_ received a message for couple of weeks. Some people haven't received a
message for longer - some shorter. However, we seem to be in the minority, as
there seems to be a number of people who have not experienced any problems, and
are receiving the digests just fine. I myself have tried resubscribing several
times under "other" email addresses to no success (i.e. seemed to be added to
the list, but not receiving digests.)
Any ideas what's up? I find it very hard to believe that is a "local"
problem, since a number of people seem to have been experiencing the same
difficulties in and around the same time. Is there anything that can be
done, or any changes made that have affected a subset of the list
subscribers?
Your response is eagerly anticipated ;^)
Kindest regards,
--ibs.

Vim: underline. subscripting etc
Hi, How does one do things like underlining and subscripting under Vim? I had a look at the manual, and read up about term caps, but can't seem to get it working under xterm. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 $ echo $TERM xterm [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2 $ regards, --ibs. p.s - I have been unable to recieve digests, and am not currently subscribed to the user list, so could you please cc any responses? It would be greatly appreciated.

I would save the contents of the user to some seperate partition/directorythen delete the user, (userdel) and then remove all files that reference that user from the /tmp directory, especially the "tmp-orbit" ones. I also made sure that there were no rogue traces of the deleted user in the passwd / group files. It seemed odd to me but it worked. Once you have gotten rid of those files, try re-creating the user, then copying back the contents of the directory. very flaky huh?
