mailman craziness

Hi, I think I've somehow managed to break mailman. Today I went to bulk add some users to one of my mailing lists, clicked the submit button on the admin webpage and ... nothing was changed. So I did some other testing, trying to remove others that were subscribed, changing the footer and so

SSLwrapper software

Hi, I'm still using slink, just curious if anyone has begun work packaging some sslwrapper software (sslwrap, stunnel). I'd like to have pop-3s from an apt-getted .deb as opposed to doing the whole search and destroy thing. Hopefully this is already in potato? -- Mark

apache, ssl, slink, potato and apt

Hi, I'm trying to do something here which is probably a bit wacko. I'm running slink and have not upgraded to potato due to a lack of hdd space, but need php3.0.15 and that version is not available for slink. In an act of senseless desperation I went ahead and changed my sources.list to use fro

mailman wierdness

hi, running mailman here, have had it going for a few months now without any problems. But today I added about 15 new lists and suddenly when I goto the listinfo page it says "there are no publicly advertised lists here." Which means that users can't find the lists to subscribe/unsubscribe etc

Saw this in the logs: VFS: Disk change detected on device 16:40 What does it mean? VFS might mean "Virtual File System" but what about the rest of it? And does VFS = swap? -Mar

Perplexing mailman situation

Hi, I'm a bit new to Debian so forgive me if this is a FAQ, but I installed mailman last night via apt-get and everything seemed to be working beautifully until I checked the machine this morning and discovered the filesystem was ro. The logs said that there was an attempt to access beyond the en

slink -> potato

Hi, My box running slink here would like to do the potato upgrade but I'm concerned that it might run out of disk space: Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/hda1 296633 24881332500 88% / /dev/hda3 675175 343296 297003

X and terminals and that galderned backspace key

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I am lazy. :) In X, backspace doesn't work properly in terms. it gives a strange code value similar to ^]]GF or something. ^H works as a backspace. But since I use windows some of the time (please don't waste your time flaming me for that) I'm used to the backspace k
