Perhaps I should send this to some other mailing list (suggestions?), but my user has been generating a series of .ps files through firefox that, when printed, cause the printer to stop printing. Its red LED starts flashing, and when I go to examine /var/log/kern.log I see many entries of the form

Setting up a secure Debian apache server

2005-10-27 Thread Steve Dondley
I'm setting up a server that will host many web sites on my Debian Sarge machine. Each site will be administered by a different user. Each site will give users SFTP access, access to the cgi-bin, and to PHP (with mod_php installed). I'm not very worried about my users doing anything malicious.

I'm not sure what the best way to handle this is. I need to add a network card to a PC with recently installed Debian ("Sarge"). What's the best way to do it? I don't really want to sit in front of the thing again feeding it CDs, so if I could avoid doing a complete install that would be nice.
