Thanks Bob and Marcus (and Asher who replied off-list!) for the quick replies.
What a lovely way to do computing, this Linux thing, huh?

Read the Printing-HOWTO. On my bo system it's in /usr/doc/HOWTO.
There's a sample script there that fixes the problem.

You might want to check /etc/X11/Xserver. It will have defined XF86_NONE. You
will need to change this to your actual server which will correspond to your

Just make sure you get SCSI. I highly reccommend the cdrecord
program. Take a look at the docs that come with it for a list of
suported devices.

Hi Gang,
Been having some trouble getting mutt to work in colour in rxvt under X
(rxvt 2.20-3.1, according to 'dpkg -l|grep rxvt'), and I worked out that
the problem was that the TERM variable is set as 'xterm'. When I manually
change this to 'rxvt', I then get mutt working in colour again.

Hi all,
after a long hiatus I'm back the the debian linux world. I got my ppp
configuration set up alright, except that my system can't find the
nameserver. I thought that all I had to do was have a resolv file with
the nameserver line in it. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Well I have a somewhat broken installation of apache 1.2.6 that I want
to remove, I can't use dpkg because it wasn't installed with debian. How
do I go about cleanly removing the old one so that I can install apache
1.3.0 - is it just a matter of going through and deleting all the
directories manua

I just uploaded an NMU of ssh to non-us. It fixes a

Hello,
I'm writing a script to enable non-UNIX types at my work to be able to
administrate customer accounts. I'm fairly pleased with what I've got,
but I've got a question.
The passwd command runs a complexity check on what is entered, and tells
you if you're picking a password that's too easy.

I've just bought a Primax Colorado D600 scanner, and I'd like to use it
under Linux. However I don't know where to find a software for it. It is
a TWAIN compatible scanner, and it is connected to the parallel port (so
no SCSI stuff). Could anybody tell me where can I
Is there a reason Debian's suidmanager program sets the file mode of
suexec to 0755 instead of 4711?
Every time I upgrade apache, I have to re-edit the suexec.h file,
recompile, and change the file mode to 4711 ... it's getting kind of
annoying.

If you set suexec up in /etc/suid.conf then it wont mess with it afaik.
Thats what suidmanager is for.
