default file perms
I have a client that just got carried away (as root of course) with a chmod -R in the wrong dir. I really miss the chkperms stuff deom $CO at times like this... so, I'm going to write one in perl. Since each package has a .list file already, would it be a big deal to have each developer to add a default file perm, and owner/group to each line, and have dpkg not have a problem with this?

Exim, at first gave me problems, but has proven to be just what I needed. Virtual domains are a no-brainer, and, if your machine delivers a lot of mail to a single machine or domain at one time (like a dialup going online 1/day), exim will tunnel all the mail down the one connection instead of spawning off a separate process for each one.

100Mb/Full Duplex
Hi folks. I'm having some trouble, actually with a Cisco 6509 switch, but getting it to talk to 20 VALinux machines. My story: I have a rack of 20 machines needing to talk to a Pix firewall with gigbit interfaces on it. To do this, we set up a test rig using an Alteon switch with 1 gigabit interface and 24 100bT ports for the boxes. When we run in this mode, everything performs well. Now, we switch this over to the Cr^Hisco switch, and it all goes to hell. It seems like the 6509 doesn't negotiate with the EEPro100 NICs in the linux boxes. Errors out the butt, and the switch ports claim that they are talking 10/half when they should be talking 100/full. I've looked at the NIC driver source, but it's non-obvious, to me anyway, how to lock these puppies in 100/full. Any pointers?

Eudora and qpopper support apop, but netscape doesn't... sheesh..
