Subject: IP Masquerade setup package
I've got a package which sets up firewalling/forwarding for kernels
with that support compiled in.
I would imagine that the sensible approach would be to script only with
features found in both ash and bash. This would also make you ksh
safe if someone were to propigate the susV stupidity of installing ksh
as sh.

Title:
Callback package for Linux
Version:
1.21
Description:
This package allows callback for Linux systems which are
equipped with a modem. Prerequisites are: setserial 2.0.2 or
higher and getty_
This is an old issue for which we have not made a decision and written
down as policy. I motion that all serial port modem traffic to be
used on /dev/ttyS*. We need the consistency in the serial post lock
names.
Thanks,

Susan, are you on the debian-devel list? It might be a good idea if
you're not. It is a high traffic list. That may prevent you from
wanting it.

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?

Dirk, I'm glad you are maintaining this package. I know you
contribute a lot more to Debian than I do so please take my comments
in the spirit of team feedback rather than a personal afront.
My understanding of the role of a Debian maintainer is that we are not
called on to always supply the solu
Rather than naming the effect you want, not starting daemons, I would
think it better to name the situation, like DEB_BASE_BUILD or
something. Now as time goes on, the scripts will be left to do the
right thing, for that set of conditions. This, of course, should be
documented like nobody's busin
I would like to see this happen also.
Umsdos booting is a big help to some occasional linux users.

Dirk, thanks for including your explanation of the current packaging
of elisp files. While it clarified the current condition it also
helped me to pinpoint my issue with the treatment of elisp sources.

Bruce, would KISS the tiny shell with common commands builtin be
useful to you? Its used in the SAR, search-n-rescue, boot disk.
I added code to it to handle df so I got to know it pretty well.
It uses the readline lib for command line edit and replay.

I wish we had setterm. I noticed it was missing and thought I must be

What's the drill here? Do we need to lobby the author, write a clone?

I like Ian Jackson's idea of ditching the functions file better than
my patch. I was wondering who used those calls but figured it was one
of those requisite Debian things.

David,
I liked your letter. Since you were painting in broad strokes I see
no need to pick nits but I think many of your site management concerns
would be better handled by a tool like cfengine than a client-server
model for dpkg.
