Unfortunately, "compress" infringes the Unisys - Terry Welch patent.

Package: base? gzip?
I can't find the "compress" program on the system. I know, gzip is better,
and can decompress *.Z files, but can't create *.Z files if I want to give
something compressed to someone who doesn't have gzip (many non-Linux
systems come with "compress" but not "gzip").

... or /var/log/xntp - xntpd can generate some statistics logs if this
feature is enabled in the config file, so a separate directory might be
a good idea.

Hi...
It seems that after I installed the majordomo package it placed the folowwing
entry in /etc/passwd:
majordom:*:102:102::/usr/lib/majordomo:/bin/false
Ok, that's fine but doing an "ls -l majordomo" in /var/lib produces this:
drwxrwsr-x 4 101 major
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 t

Ian, I think the problem might be local to your system. I'm running a
pretty virgin system that was recently built from scratch and I can
run that command in emacs with no problem.
Was there anything enlightening in the *Messages* buffer?
