If you do: 'setterm -reset' or just 'reset' the vt will be fine

Here's one that works for me:

more secure, stable, more mature, and it's also free.

I suggested FreeBSD to them also, for the same reasons.

there is a script with appche-ssl, /usr/sbin/ssl-certifcate, that is
called be the apache-ssl install that you can re-run to gen a
cert.
if you already have a cert use the --force flag.
you can also pass a -days x flag to generate a cert that will expire
in 3000 days or somesuch.

Hi there,
Thanks for the responses to my original question. I have now found out
about what is wrong. It is a PCI modem and modems of that kind don't
work with linux yet, although there is work going on in that field.
Maybe for 2.4. It may well by a winmodem too, although it showed up on

It's not a problem to ping my linux-box. I've made so from my
Windows-computer. I always get response. However I'm already
using my linux-box as a small file-server and I'm also running telnet-

I am trying to install libpng2 1.0.5-1 on my machine.
However when I do:
dpkg --install libpng2_1.0.5-1.deb
it tells me that libpng2 depends on libz1 and that
libz1 is not installed. However, according to the
debian site, libpng2 depends on zlib1g which I have
already installed on my system.

What are your firewall and/or /etc/hosts.allow | /etc/hosts.deny

Telnet is an insecure protocol and should generally not be used. SSH is
the preferred alternative these days. The Security HOWTO also mentions
a secure telnet replacement using SSL.

Hello
Thanks for your reply (this goes to Oswald, too)
It seems that I know so little, that my question was beside the point. :)
Please, let me have another go:

I removed "user" from the list of mount options for the cd driv
On the console, everything is fine - when I log in as root, I start in the
/root directory. When I log in as a user I start in ~/.
However, any gnome-terminals I open under X drop me to /root regardless of
login. Of course, since I mostly use a standard user, the first command always
is "cd ~". Ma
