But make sure to used *hashed* database files. If you use dbm files, you get
problems. The dbm library must have been compiled to use fcntl (or lockf).

I read the Changes file in the distribution of linux-2.0

Do they affect debian users?
(1) Networking:
They suggest replacing 'route add -net 127.0.0.1' with
'route add -net 127.0.0.0' in the network files
