No bug filed yet, just FYI: "evdev" currently has a problem with suspend/undock: I have an external mouse and keyboard connected to the docking station of a Lenovo R61, the keyboard configured for evddev. On suspend/undock, the X-server doesn't release the device node /dev/input/event?. The Linux kernel forcefully unpluggs all devices on suspend/undock and re-pluggs them on resume/dock. Since the old device-node is still open (and thus used), a new device-node with a new number is created. The external keyboard is thus dead, until I restart the server. "lsof -p `pidof X`" shows the node as still be opened, but deleted. The mouse uses /dev/input/mice and thus doesn't have the problem. Switching to console before suspending/undocking doesn't help either. This basically happens because xserver-xorg-input-evdev-2.0.3/src/evdev.c:EvdevProc(DeviceIntPtr device, int what) doesn't release the node on DEVICE_OFF and re-opens it on DEVICE_ON, but opens it in EvdevPreInit() and closes it in DEVICE_CLOSE. But according to http://www.x.org/wiki/XOrgInputDriverSpec that should actually what should be done. Googling for this shows that others have this problem, too. I currently don't have time to fix it myself, but others should know and perhaps have time and more experience with writing XOrg input drivers to fix this properly.

There's a proposed fix at http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2008-August/037975.html BTW this issue only arises with devices specified in xorg.conf, it doesn't apply to the hotplug case.

RFH: automake, library and sub-automake using rpath
Hi! I have a problem with the audit-package [1]: 1. it uses autoconf/automake 2. it builds a shared library 3. it aggregates a copy of a python sub-package named "system-config-audit", which uses a _seperate_ autoconf/automake. The parent-autoconf calls it using AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS([system-config-audit]) 4. the sub-package uses the shared library. Since the library is only installed in a temporary location, and the sub-automake doesn't know anything about the _temporary_ installation, the sub-package links to that library using a rpath. Lintian sais: W: system-config-audit: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./lib/system-config-audit-server /media/storage/debian/pool/main/a/audit/audit-1.7.5/lib/.libs Does some autoconf/automake/python-guru know how I can fix this dilemma? I would like to use the included system-config-audit, since it's better tested, but if that doesn't work, I could also ignore the included version and create a completely separate package from the original author [2].

It would be nice (and probably very constructive) to have a brief and simple procedure for how to reconfigure the system so as to run a reasonably tight ship. Off the top of my head, I can think of the following: * Disable telnet; go with ssh instead (but then which ssh?) * Recommend disabling any non-critical network services entirely * chroot and otherwise patch up everything that can't be turned off * Recommend replacing Sendmail with Postfix (or whatever)? * Recommend replacing regular ftp server with something more robust I was thinking of maybe collecting this in a "security" package but I'm not confident in my abilities to create such a package (I'm a dpkg novice) and anyway, I'm not sure if that is the right approach.
