The reason I opted for mc in the first place was for the ability to tag or
untag directories to avoid copying /proc and the /mnt directories. Since
it had the option to retain UID's and GID's I thought it was a safe
option. I backfired on me which I think is a bug and will report it as
such.

Yeah, sendmail is ok till you have to deal with editing routing for a
large uucp network :) mailertables are a PAIN compared to pathalias.

I'm getting some errors while compiling after upgrading my system
recently (and no I have no idea what was actually upgraded. it was
from unstable (yea I know), and I baiscally let dselect choose).

Hi,
I'm not sure what causes this problem but I've run into it once or twice
before. Possibly, your routine is looking for "/usr/include/ctype.h" and
what it's getting is "/usr/include/linux/ctype.h" which is different. If
your "/usr/include/ctype.h" file contains the "#include_next ..." line,

Linuxconf handles mailertable databases? I am not talking about
sendmail.cf here. Even if Linuxconf DID handle it, poking in the routing
information for 50 sites by hand from uucp maps is rediculous when you
just run a single command (pathalias) that configured the routing table
for you.

Umm, folks, majordomo-users isn't the place to be discussing your favorite
MTA. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and it is up to the
administrator of the particular installation to choose which one is
appropriate. Majordomo works equally well with most of them.

I hope this hasn't already been talked about.

when starting my Debian box I get the following error message:

I haven't seen anyone mentioning .logout and probably .login also works.

If you want if for every login, put a `clear screen' in your /etc/issue
like this:
clear > /tmp/banan
cat /etc/
I just noticed this in the context of mounting a vfat
partition. I didn't notice any problems here but I did find
a solution.
The order of entries in /etc/fstab is important. Make sure
that the proc filesystem is first. This eliminated the
problem for me.

I was wondering if there is a way to get my clock to automatically adjust
for daylight savings time in the spring and fall. Is there an environment
variable or something? I've tried "TZ=EST5EDT" as on some other UNIX systems,
but it doesn't seem to work in LINUX.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Can you send the .rhosts in both hosts to the list?
As I remember it, the rshd is very picky about the way you specify
the hpost name in .rhosts. I think is has to be the same string
the gethostbyaddr() (the resolver) returns.
I hope this helps.

You'll need the kernel-source and pcmcia-source packages.
Configure the kernel by running "make config" in
/usr/src/linux. Then build the modules by executing "debian/rules
binary-modules" in the /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs directory.
Finally, install the resulting package using "dpkg --install

I've got three questions:

Windows so there's no wrong with the card.
