I had a quick look in the Contents file (on www.debian.org) and couldn't
find this, so I might have a hack at a package unless anyone else is
keener.

One of my "gaping holes of ignorance" has to do with utmp entries; what
they are, why are they gone, where is the package that creates them?
I know that one of the latest "fixes" to dpkg-buildpackage deals with the
lack of utmp entries, but don't understand why they were abandoned.

First, a little history.
As I am sure we all know, Linux currently does not support masquerading of video
conferencing protocols, including H.323. There are partial solutions using
IPPORTFW, but none that work transparently.
So, a few weeks ago I started research into this project. I found that

Having a user for mrtg doesn't seem very appropriate to me, though. Mrtg is
a simple program, that needs to run every 5 minutes. A user is

You might look at the rsalabs web site; there's an "introduction to
asn.1" document there which is quite thorough, despite the name,
though if I remember correctly it only describes one of BER or DER,
whichever PKCS actually use. It might be worth a look.

An utmp entry is an entry in a fixed-size binary database located in
/var/run/utmp.
It disappeared on my system. Is it in a different package nowadays?

don't you think that having master's Incoming directory full of new

Diety, of course, meaning "of or like a diet". In the same vein as
"boxy".
