Getting clock_gettime() with CLOCK_TAI to give the right answer

2017-03-16 Thread Edmund Grimley Evans
What's the easiest way of getting a Debian system to know about the offset between TAI and UTC? Presumably something like what's described here for SUSE would work: https://superuser.com/questions/1156693/is-there-a-way-of-getting-correct-clock-tai-on-linux Ideally it would just work out of the

2001-09-10 Thread Edmund GRIMLEY EVANS
Firstly, is there a recommended way of doing printing with Debian? I see various mentions of LPD, LPRng, CUPS, PDQ and printtool, and there are a large number of printer-related packages in the archive, many of which conflict with one another, but I can't find a document to help me decide what to i

IP forwarding

2000-08-06 Thread Edmund GRIMLEY EVANS
I can make it work by doing the following by hand: # ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQ # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward But is there a neat way of making it happen automatically by putting something in /etc/network/ or in /etc/ppp/? And can it be combined with dial-on-demand?
