Isn't it automatically handled by wwwoffled ? There is a "Purge"
section in /etc/wwwoffle.conf (v1.3) that seem to indicate there's an
internal mecahnism for this.

Hello,
After looking at the WNPP document, and getting some advice from people on
the mailing list I ask to adopt/maintain a relatively simpler pakage: the
ftplib package (it's a package that, roughly, encapsulates ftp commands
inside C functions). I haven't examined the package throughly yet, and

Not to mention it is EXTREMELY dangerous to your system since root can
wipe out your system. Root cannot log in remotely due to security
restraints... but if you give normal usernames root capabilities... they
can log in remote thus creating a security breach. It is better to leave

Hi there guys!
I am using Debian 1.3.1 and finds it a perfekt linuxdistribution.
But there is one _very_ BiG problem in all unices I have tested,
and that is the users and root.
What I want is to get my user named ceed to be as powerful as root but
at the same time it shouldn't be root. Is there a

This is a list of packages in the main distribution that need work to
be fully libc6-based. I base it on the Packages file at my local mirror,
so it may be a day or two out of date. If you have questions about why
a particular package is on the list, or if you think there is an error,

I've put together an experimental package for xcdroast 0.96d beta 2.
This adds support for a lot more writers since it uses cdrecord now.
It should fix a lot of other bugs too. So far it has been tested on
a Philips CDD 2600 and a Yamaha 400 without any problems.
There is on catch though: you nee

Along with this, in the similar thread, I think we should set aside a
place in our "/usr/src/" for the building of Debian packages, using
`cvs-buildpackage'. (which I promise to _try_ and grok this week.)
How about... "/usr/src/debian/{build,work}"?

I'm not the official word on this but I think Debian "owns" everything but
/usr/local (in which it can only make a directory). There are exceptions
if your directory isn't in the file system

Assuming you're right, and movemail is used for all mail locking, then
if we patch movemail to use liblockfil
The question is, "who owns /usr/src, Debian or the local sysadmin?"
A recent run-in with the latest pre-release libc6 packages made me
realize that I hadn't fully considered the role of /usr/src on a
Debian system.
In general, I had always considered Debian as "owning" everything

I think that no less than 2 months.
