I have just upgraded from woody to sarge, including a kernel upgrade to
kernel 2.4.27-2-686. I have an old Adaptec 2940 card (which contains
another OS and is not used by debian). During the startup it seems to try
to load the SCSI driver several times then hangs. Removing the

Have you tried using ulog? You need to patch your kernel. It allows all
firewall logs to go into a nominated log file, and does not put them in the
dmesg.
I use it in my gentoo server (I'm too scared t

I'm particularly concerned that spammers can find out valid email accounts
on our system. From what you say it looks as if that's unavoidable unless I
take elaborate precautions.

Today I found hundreds of the following in my /var/log/auth.log:

Many thanks. It worked without a hitch - using the versions that you use.

I installed mondo/mindi on my work server recently (Woody). I tested it out
on an almost identical system at home first and didn't have too many
problems - managed to backup and restore a running system with no problems.
I've used the stock standard "stable" packages - mondo_1.41.1-1_i386.deb

I've finally gone for Mondorescue. I compiled the latest version from
source (have Woody) - the Woody version seems to have a few "issues".
Thanks for the suggestions. Apart from a bit of lack of polish, it does

I have a debian (woody) server running at work and would like to back up the
entire system onto some sort of removable media (USB hard drive, DVD,
removable harddrive etc). I do daily backups of /etc and /home using tar,
but would like to be able to restore my system quickly in the event of a
