Problems with ftp and exporting filesystems.

Hi Today I upgraded to netstd ver. 3.07-7 at work with the result that you can't ftp to my machine and people can not mount my exported filesystems. I did a dpkg -S /etc/inetd.conf and the only thing I got was netbase: /usr/man/man5/inetd.conf.5.gz so I guess inetd uses and old version of /etc/i

num lock in x

I use the "setleds" utility to automatically turn on my num-lock when I login to the console. Whenever I start X, though, num lock is turned off. Also, if I quit X, when I'm thrown into xdm, num lock is also turned off. How can I make num-lock default to on in X? Thanks! -- Matt Garman, [EMA
