I just recieved the following email... below it is the COPYING file
that ships with `scsh'. May it go into the main distribution, or
should I see if I can negotiate a different licence?
Is this licence DFSG compliant, and if not, what parts of it are in
conflict? Help me learn this, please

From what I can tell, the method for locking the passwd and shadow
files is not the same in glibc and the shadow utils. Can anyone shed
some light on this?
Is anyone working on porting PAM from Red Hat to Debian? Is that
planned?

Hello,
I have installed tetex-base_0.9-5 and the other related teTeX packages

I downloaded the kernel-source_2.0.33-7.deb package and installed it on my

I tried to upgrade tetex-0.4 to tetex-0.9 but that failed altogether,
because the postinst failed. I corrected the install scripts and sent a
patch to the maintainer but did not get any feedback.

I have tossed around the idea of a ham specific configuration that

Uh, no. Please do not upload untested cross-compiled code. Untested
