I did an aptitude upgrade to etch, and when done was left with a
series of problems. The most annoying is that I can't authenticate
with the NNTP server to send this message with gnus. Rmail works OK.
I can't startx:
xauth: creating new authority file ~/.serverauth.3044
giving up
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to x
server.
sinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error
What's really curious is that I try to mount a backup drive, and it is
my usb-key that is mounted! (# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1
/media/mirror). If I remove the usb-key, I get "not a valid block
device". My usb-key was sdc1.
I suspect I may have messed up my machine names when I upgraded:
# dnsdomainname
hartford-hwp.com
This is ok
# hostname
teufel
This OK, too
# hostname -a
teufel
I would have expected here instead:
localhost.localdomain
teufel.hartford-hwp.com
$ cat /etc/host.conf
multi on
$ cat /etc/hostname
teufel
In /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1 teufel.hartford-hwp.com teufel
