Hello Everybody,
I have a user and server file running OpenSuse 10.3 (and there is
nothing that I can do about that... ;-)), and a Debian box. I'm trying
to use NIS from the OpenSuse box, and the Debian box connects fine
with the NIS server, but I cannot authenticate any user. The UIDs are

Indeed ! Thanks, that's a pretty darn good solution :) I need to check
if I can run powerpc on x86_64, but I like that.

Hi,
I have just installed Debian on my new MacBook. After getting a basic

In this particular case, yes, because this package should be available.
As a matter of fact, it should already be installed, because it is

I begrudgingly use a Windows SharePoint server at a customer's request.
I'd like to automate (command-line) updating and creating documents,
lists, etc.
Is there a Unix tool that does this?
I know SharePoint has an "API", which basically spoofs the GET/POST
calls that your browser would make(?).
Other than sifting through the archives of debian-testing-changes, might
there be a way of tracking the introduction of updated versions of a
particular package into Testing?
AFAIK, http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/... only tracks Unstable.
TIA,
