Third Party X Server

I've recently got a copy of XIG's Accelerated X, and I wanted to give it a try on my Potato System, but before I do I wanted to check something. Currently I'm using the XFree86 3.3.5 packages to provide X. If I de-install these I'll end-up uninstalling all packages which depend on X. Not really wh

Potato Hostname Vs NIS conflict

Hi all, Can anybody tell me if I'm the only one who has a problem trying to have both the hostname and the nis package installed together. Apt is complaining that both contain /bin/hostname (indeed they do and they are different). Is there any info on this? Paul -- Paul Sargent mailto: [EMAIL PR

Potato NIS Vs PAM problems

I have, what I expect is, a simple problem. I'm trying to set my Potato box to use NIS to do the lookup for /etc/passwd. I have the +:: line at the bottom of my passwd file, and all the yp tools work fine (e.g. 'ypmatch pauls passwd' brings up the right response.) I've even got autofs automout
