PLEASE!!!!
All of the users out there retrieving the distribution that are getting it via a tar file from my PERSONAL MACHINE!!! FTP.DEBIAN.ORG!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't get it with a .gz extension due to the fact only a handful of files are not gziped and they total less that a meg!

a new UNIX utility (fwd)
PSHIFT(1) USER COMMANDS PSHIFT(1) NAME pshift - paradigm shift utility SYNOPSIS pshift [-zzeitgeist] [-rragelev] [-v] [-c] [-wn] [+|-n] DESCRIPTION The pshift operator performs a paradigm shift on its input stream within the context of the current or specified zeitgeist. OPTIONS -z Specify the zeitgeist context. May be specified here or from the environment variable $ZEITGEIST. Supported values of zeitgeist are judeo_christian (default), postcommunist, new_age, and when_god_was_a_woman. -r Specify rage level. Acceptable values of ragelev are ennui (default), deep_seated, and consuming. -v Set to verbose mode. Normally pshift operates silently; in verbose mode it publishes a 500+ page bestseller entitled "Rethinking [input stream] in the [zeitgeist] Age", and then begins soliciting honoraria until the operator types ctrl-c. On some systems it runs for Congress. -c Set to collective IO. Normally pshift takes its input from stdin and outputs to stdout; in collective mode it takes its input from the Collective Unconscious and writes to the Body Politic. -wn Specify first, second, third or fourth wave. Acceptable values for n are 0,1,2 or 3, with 2 (third wave) being the default. [On Sun systems, the logical waves are 0,3,2,1, which map to physical waves 0,1,2,3; see Sun Technical Manual for details.] +|-nSpecifies the number of times to prepend 'post' to the zeitgeist context, if positive, or 'pre' if negative. The default is 11. EXAMPLES source $DEITY | pshift -zpostcommunist -rdeep_seated -v +1 On most systems, the above command will output a hardcover volume called "Rethinking God in the Post-Postcommunist Era", in which the irrelevence of erstwhile religious concepts is seen to have triggered a global, deep-seated rage vis-a-vis traditional sociopolitical norms leading to a premature breakdown of emerging postsoviet infrastructure. pshift -znew_age -rennui The above command produces no output, but privately processes a vague discontent which it will share if its space is honored. May be redirected to /dev/null. pshift -c -w3 -1 Taking its input from the collective unconscious, the above command rejects the failed socioeconomic policies of the last thirty years and replaces them with a futurist, fourth wave polemic of traditional values, the two-parent family, and the supremacy of the private sector that was the foundation of the American utopia of the 1950s. Use a prepend value of -2 to restore the American utopia of the early Industrial Age, a value of -3 to restore the European utopia of the Enlightenment, -4 for catholic hegemony, etc. (note: Requires grass root permission. In verbose mode, it may also require a $4 million advance.) SEE ALSO backlash(1) BUGS You must have root permission to use consuming rage.

It is in our opinions here at the university that the current materials should be placed in a subdirectory like RELEASED/Debian-0.93R6 RELEASED/security-fixes RELEASED/updates RELEASED/contrib RELEASED/Incoming (to Be used by anonymous users for uploads to contrib) CURRENT/Debian CURRENT/private/project/Incoming (Devel uploads) CURRENT/contrib CURRENT/Incoming (To be used by anonymous users for uploads to contrib) SNAPSHOTS/debian-pre-1.0 (a full tree to be proposed as a releasable system) Documentation/ CURRENT/ RELEASED/ GENERAL/ AOUT -> RELEASED ELF -> CURRENT If we are to be making these moves I would like to forwarn the current mirrors so that they could update their filesystems. But I would really suggest something like this so that we can organize the archive a little better. Don't let drive space be a factor here. If a mirror site only wants to get -RELEASED thats fine if they have drive space to handle it all they will take it all. Make a suggestion to mirrors to get say -RELEASED and -Documentation. These are the opinions of more than one person here at Central and they are the ones that pay for and support the machines :) I woulld really like to hear a bit more on this matter since we seem to back lacking a bit about stating what is a "released" version and what is BETA.

Telnetd Environment Vulnerability (fwd)
FYI If this has been covered already ignore me I am behind on mail again.. :) Matt = CA-95:14 CERT Advisory November 1, 1995 Telnetd Environment Vulnerability - The CERT Coordination Center has been made aware of a vulnerability with some telnet daemons. The daemons affected are those that support RFC 1408 or RFC 1572, both titled "Telnet Environment Option," running on systems that also support shared object libraries. To determine if your system is potentially vulnerable, refer to the information we have received from vendors which is summarized in Section III below; details are in Appendix A and reproduced in the CA-95:14.README file. Note that if you installed a version of David Borman's telnet package that is older than October 23, 1995, your system may be vulnerable even though it was not vulnerable as distributed by the vendor. If your vendor is not listed, you will need to determine if your system may be vulnerable. First, determine if your telnet daemon is RFC 1408/1572 compliant. One indication that it is compliant is if your telnet(1) program supports the "environ" command or your telnetd(8) program supports the ENVIRON or NEW-ENVIRON options. Unless you are certain that your telnet daemon is not RFC 1408/1572 compliant, you may wish to assume it is to be safe. Second, determine if your system supports shared libraries. To do this, consult the ld(1) manual page. If it describes dynamic or shared objects, your system probably supports shared object libraries. A system is potentially vulnerable if the telnet daemon supports RFC 1408/RFC 1572 and the system supports shared object libraries. We recommend that you follow your vendor's directions for addressing this vulnerability. Until you can install a patch, we recommend using the workaround in Appendix B below. If you have previously installed David Borman's telnet package on your system, we recommend that you obtain the current version of telnet (see Section III.C). As we receive additional information relating to this advisory, we will place it in: ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_advisories/CA-95:14.README We encourage you to check our README files regularly for updates on advisories that relate to your site. - I. Description Some telnet daemons support RFC 1408 or RFC 1572, both titled "Telnet Environment Option." This extension to telnet provides the ability to transfer environment variables from one system to another. If the remote or targeted system, the one to which the telnet is connecting, is running an RFC 1408/RFC 1572-compliant telnet daemon *and* the targeted system also supports shared object libraries, then it may be possible to transfer environment variables that influence the login program called by the telnet daemon. By influencing that targeted system, a user may be able to bypass the normal login and authentication scheme and may become root on that system. Users with accounts on the targeted system can exploit this vulnerability. Users without accounts on that system can also exploit this vulnerability if they are first able to deposit an altered shared object library onto the targeted system. Therefore, a system may be vulnerable to users with and without local accounts. Not all systems that run an RFC 1408/RFC 1572-compliant telnet daemon and support shared object libraries are vulnerable. Some vendors have changed the trust model such that environment variables provided by the telnet daemon are not trusted and therefore are not used by the login program. Section III contains a summary of information vendors have reported as of the date of this advisory. II. Impact Local and remote users can become root on the targeted system. III. Solution The general solution to this problem is to replace the telnet daemon with one that changes the environment given to the login program. We recommend that you install a patch from your vendor if possible. If this is not possible, we recommend using the workaround in Appendix B until you can install a patch. Finally, if you have previously installed Mr. Borman's telnet package, see Section C for how to get a new version that fixes the vulnerability. A. Vendor Patches Below is a summary of the vendors listed in the current version of the CA-95:14.README file, and the status they have provided. More complete information, including how to obtain patches, is provided in Appendix A of this advisory and reproduced in the README file. We will update the README file as we re

Unidentified subject!
I don't know if this is a good news or bad news. but I think there is a big misunderstanding about debian-0.93 and debian-1.0 I really forsee the need to do this debian-0.93 release -> debian-0.93 development/debian-1.0 NOTICE: NO LINK development/trial-packages (or some such instead of inside private/project) I am getting 10 - 15 complaints a day about this debian-1.0 and how it won't install all the way or that it isn't all ELF as advertised previously. Well I know I bite my teeth and press delete on all of them I gave up responding two days ago.

Well folks...
It looks like I am buring up more hard drives than I can buy around here :) We are not losing the debian.org drive but we are losing drives that are not even being used yet. I am currentyl making tape backups of the system and therefore are stopping uploads from happening. (and downloads for that matter.) Anyway yesterday we had problems with our Fiber Optic Ring here on campus which caused us to lose 75% of the packets going across the line. Today that has been fixed by CISCO and we are back running except I am making backups. Folks I have two choices for you.. 1 I bring the machine down now to fix the problem and unpgrade the OS to current released version. OR 2 I wait for Christmas break take the machine down for "3 Weeks" and do it up right. This also means the machine will have its ups and downs over the next three weeks while we wait. -- Matthew S.

Well the machine would be gone for around the 16th to the 3rd of january.
It is too late for me to do much now with mine since I am already packing
it up to take home with me for the next week. So I will need someone to

Movement :/ OK OK :)
Over the next weekish or so I will be rebuilding the ftp server. The amount of downtime should be minimal since I will use my "PERSONAL" machine while I rebuild the FTP/WEB server so that I can forget about it for the next 6 months I will be moving WWW from the apache server over Netscape's NetSite server during this move. This will allow for a few nice features that I didn't have before. I will not be bringing ftp.debian.org OFFLINE until I am ready to make the move. I will however be shadowing ftp.debian.org on ftp.cps.cmich.edu while I am making this happen. If you have problems with ftp.debian.org try ftp.cps.cmich.edu this will hopefully make things go a bit smoother. Ian M. : If you want to make sure time stamps are preserved PLEASE PLEASE get a stamps.tar and place it somewhere :) I have no clue how you are able to recontruct these so if you would be so kind as to keep a copy. I am also under the impression that uploads are rather inmaterial as far as timestamps are concerned. By default mirror (from src.doc.ic.ac.uk) just updates the time stamps and does not re-retrieve the files... So Starting sometime tommorow I will be at play.. Thanks -- Matthew S.

FTP status for december.
Well the ftp server has been real solid for the past month and seems to be doing nicely _except_ for a memory leak in a library. For this reason I will be pulling the debian.org drive out of the machine and moving it to my co-workers machine for the weekend. This will "halt" www traffic during this But be assured the drive will remain intact. As far as ftp is concerned there will be NO UPLOADS over the weekend. This is mainly so I can keep my sanity. Also the mirror sites and the users will not be able to get onto the machine to do work. Sorry, but I really need to do this. Everything should "be back to normal" on monday early afternoon when I can put the drive back into this machine. When the machine comes back I plan on not making any changes again till summer or later. Work load here has been at the stressful edge and now I need time to play. :) -- Matthew S.

OK thanks. I suspect that it will be hard at work. Just FYI the web servr is happily up and running on Netscape Netsite server and seems to be a bit more reliable than apache as far as multiple hosts go. Ray Dassen: there are some database problems with the search you might want to check these out. you also own all of /www/debian.org and you cgi's are in /www/debian.org/cgi-bin you can also call your files .cgi anywhere set them with the execute bit and you can run ourside of the cgi-bin directory.

Whoaaa now! there is a definite reason for this There is NO problem with uploads. The fact that I receive 10-5 mails a day to ftpadmin about corrupt files in private/project/Incoming made me opt for this method. This should be for INCOMING use only. the files will be available as soon as the ftp site maintainer moves them into the public trees. I don't even care if all he does is move them to a different tree like Arrived or some such. but Incoming is just that Incoming and should not be used for downloading. This has also come from the few pieces of software that have been uploaded to the directory that were far from free. So I am sorry some of you don't like this but this is the way it will have to be. Bruce doesn't allow for downloads from his Incoming tree either the last I knew. He had to move them out to a directory called Debian instead.

I am getting illegal software uploads into the Incoming directory nd many ccomplaints about the files being corrupt. Most of these corrupt files are just files that are being uploaded. We need to come up with a convention for handling this.

Just FYI
I have just created an Outgoing directory which has everything from the Incoming directory in it. These files are downloadable the files that go into incoming are still set 0660. I will move files into the Outgoing directory when I see a medium/urgent tag in the change file. Or a developer must need pacakge. Hope this helps a bit.. -- Matthew S.

This makes it so if the files get movedd around that the chroot() ALPHA-TEST that thes login does works correctly. If they use a mirror script that will get hidden/semi-hidden files then what good does making them that way. If I want to move around ALPHA-TEST to BETA-TEST then these people will have to download all of it again yet if they use my login then if I move the directory none of this can happen. -- Matthew S.

Nope... use the mirror account buster with password fsf/gnu Bruce the problem is that i had to add debian as a guest group causing your login to become a chroot() to your home account.

Well netscape corp screwed me with politics and listed me in their mirror listings. Well there used to be more mirrors but it seems that we are one of three listed now. And until beta 5 or release version are out I can not get out of their list. And I can not remove their software until this happens. So for now please use a mirror.
