/var/log/messages
My /var/log/messages and messages.0 are getting very large. messages alone is almost 500 meg. Is is safe to delete these files (I don't need to read any back error messages). My syslog is also reaching 500 meg ais that safe to be deleted. Will they be auto-created again? Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Something like "SPOOFED Packet IN=eth0 and then my MAC address and other network stuff including the IP address of the spoofed packet. This is all coming from my cable company, I have talked to them about it but they don't really have any idea. Ever since they upgraded my modem to a DOCSIS one, I get a constant stream d/l of ~2k. I have a firewall installed, but even if I block these ports I still get the messages in a virtual terminal. So this is how my messages file gets so big. I've set the logs to rotate at 10M as per someones instructions above. If you guys have any ideas how I can silence these messages from my modem, it would be greatly appreciated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

GTK, GTK2 Fonts
I am not having fun with fonts in GTK and GTK2. I installed gdm to replace kdm, so now ~/.gtkrc-kde has no control over the gtk1 fonts (which it did a nice job of). For some reason gdm wants to always use the ugly default font and I cannot change it, gnome-control-center run as root has no effect on this font, and this ugly font buggers up all the gtk-apps (including mozilla and the like). Thats problem one, problem 2 is that now GTK2 apps like rox now default to some tiny unreadable anti-aliased font, and again I use gnome-control-center to try and set the font, but again gtk2 apps ignore the settings. I know that ~/.gtkrc controls the fonts in gtk1 apps (except for root user for some reason), what config file is controlling the gtk2 apps? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Docsis Cable Modem
I just got my Cable modem upgraded from the cable company. It is a Terayon TJ615 Docsis modem. My configuration hasn't changed from my older Terayon cable modem. The problem is this, the modem seems to be constantly receiving something, showing up as about a ~2k download in my network monitor. The installer said that its "normal" for the modem to be contantly receiving (unlike the old one). But the real problem is when I go to a shell (control-alt-f1) I am getting a constant stream of messages something starting with "IN eth0 O"T=MAC ff:ff etc..." making it impossible to use the tty console. No big deal right now, but if an emergency arises where X is fried, I cannot even login to the shell becuase the contant stream of messages disrupting what I type in. How do I stop these messages from interupting my shell? Oh, and this problem did happen with the old modem, it was just only every few minutes a message would appear so it wasn't fatal. Using Debian Unstable. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

apt-get
When I install a program via apt-get, and it installs other support packages along with it, and then I choose to remove this program AND the packages that came with it. Is there anyway to automate the removal of this program and its packages instead of removing the packages by hand typing them in one by one? Or if I choose to remove this program at a later date and close my xterm, I forget what came with it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Is there any way to disable these AA fonts? I'm not a fan of them, they make me feel my eyesight is blurred.

I hate them, sure they "look" smoother, but I find that it just seems blurred and they are hard to read. Makes me feel something is wrong with my eyes.

Kmail
I am using woody and the Kmail that comes with woody, and I notice that I cannot change the font size in the body of an email (the message body) it is stuck on 10points which is straining my eyesight. Every other font is adjustable exept this one. Is there any way to change this? Default woody installation.
IP Masquerade
I would like to set up simple IP Masquerading on my machine for another machine on my network to connect to the internet via cable modem. In the past I used a nifty firewall/masquerade setup utility called PM Firewall, but it only works on 2.2 kernels. Is there any simple setup program for firewall/masquerade for the kernel 2.4.17? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mozilla 1.0
Am I the only person getting Mozilla 1.0 to crash all the time in Sid? So many different pages it just locks up. I was having this problem with RC1-3 and thought that 1.0final would clear it up but it hasn't. Try http://www.radiocontrolledclock.com and thats just the tip of the iceberg. I've tried deleting ~/.mozilla and starting fresh but this doesn't help. The worst part is that I can't just restart mozilla, and have to do a "killall mozilla-bin" Anybody else getting stability issues with Mozilla 1.0? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Mozilla 1.0
Interesting, you are right. If I kill the artsd sound server mozilla clears itself up and that page will load without a problem when I reload mozilla, if I disable the artsd (kde sound server). So the dpkg -reconfigure doesn't help? On June 11, 2002 03:30 pm, gerhard wrote: > Hi Dave, Hi folks, > > Am Dienstag, 11. Juni 2002 06:09 schrieb Dave Thayer: > > This page has a flash plugin in it.

Re: Mozilla 1.0
I tried the "dpkg-reconfigure mozilla-browser" and set the audio to "none" but mozilla was still crashing. Right now I have just disabled the kde artsd server altogether and mozilla is stable. Granted I have no sound in kde, but I can still play mp3's with xmms, and hear sound in movies in xine. So I go without the few beeps and whistles in kde, which I never use much anyway.
