GNU acct is still broken for 2.2 kernels. I thought a recompile would fix it,
but it doesn't. The upstream author, with whom I generally had very good
(albeit sporadic) contact is MIA. AFAICT the other dists don't distribute
acct.
The package needs a kernel hacker type who can debug and hopeful

Hi all,
I have been doing some reasearch here and I have been able to determine
that right now GPG represents (with the non-free RSA and IDEA modules) a
functional replacement for PGP 2.x for both checking signatures and
creating signatures.
It is remarkably easy to do, I am surprised that someo

has anybody thought about packaging an alternative to the man-db/groff
