I'd sure like a mechanism, with either email or a browser, to get a
list of the bugs registered against a particular package. It would
help cut down duplicate bug reports. Now, I'm forced to download a
list of *all* the bugs.
I just finished reading the article on SATAN in the August '97 Linux
Journal. SATAN can find weaknesses in the network configuration. I
realize it can be a bad thing or a good thing, depending on the user's
intent. I joined Debian after SATAN came out. Was there some

I agree. My policy is: If the binaries are in /usr/local/bin, then
the sources go into usr/local/src. If the binaries are in /bin or
/usr/bin, then the sources go into /usr/src.
