I looked at this a little more. It seems that the object on the other
side of /dev/fd/X isn't always one that you have permissions on _after_
it's been opened.

There's a kernel bug operating here, I think. If you chmod 666 /dev/fd/2
(from the same console, of course) it shows no change in its mode using

I don't know about dpkg-ftp, but 'dftp' can run through a firewall. The
only firewall I ever tested it with was the "Eagle Secure Gateway", but

More usefully, w3 can be found in the binary-i386/net/w3-el_2.2.25-4.deb
on any debian mirror...

This may be one for the Debian FAQ--apologies in advance if you've been

Just wondering, are you compiling it as an aout program, when I did dpgk
-S on the filename, the only place I saw it was in libc4-dev. Try
installing that, it may solve your problem. Don't know why you are
compiling it as aout though, compile it as ELF.

Hi,
how does the source packages work? If I understand everyting right I am
supposed to unpack them with dpkg-source -x .dsc. But then I need the
.dsc file, which not seems to be included in any of the availble
source packages. Where can I find or generate them?

Chat only reads from standard input and writes to standard output.

I'm pretty sure you have incompatible versions of perl and perl-tk. I

It really depends on what firewall you are using. Where I am we are
using TIS's (the maker's of the Firewall Toolkit) Gauntlet firewall, it
allows for transparent access if you make the firewall the default

However, if your firewall doesn't allow transparent access,

Linux novice question:
The "chat" program cannot find my modem, and as far as I can tell, there
are no command line switches to force it to use /dev/modem or /dev/cua1.
Since I'm using minicom to write this post, I'm quite sure my modem
works just fine. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Last time I ran into it, it turned out that for *legitimate* salts,
the linux crypt() was compatible, but for out-of-range ones, there
were differing results. An easy way to test is to use perl. For
example:
solaris2.4+% perl -e 'print crypt("pass", "ab")."\n"'
abccBcrPOxnLU
solaris2.4+% perl -e
I sure hope this is not a FAQ...
How is it possible to use the ftp access from within dselect to reach
through a fire-wall system? Alternatives?

While it is considered a little crude, it is possible to convert tar

instructions for how to do it right (which will fill in the gaps in

This looks like it might be the "auto-config" setting in the setserial

the kernel that comes with it is not configured exactly as I would like,

It compiled and booted fine, but when doing "volumious" disk accesse
