Not sure where it's best to start this discussion, but here seems a good
a place as any.
In brief, I have all my account information in LDAP. Problem is, I have
to manually add slapd into most of my init scripts to make sure the
ordering is correct and that my accounts DB is up in time for sta

So, I've spent all weekend looking into this, and I'm still no closer to
solving it.
I've tried replacing the NICs, swapping the switches, removing the
switches, isolating the machines, replacing the wiring, and logging the
iptables traffic.
That last one was quite interesting actually. I added l
I'm experiencing a strange problem that I think my Debian server may be
responsible for, but I've no idea how to troubleshoot it!
For the last month or so, I've been experiencing stalls - all access to
the internet stops for a minute or two. It happens frequently...but
intermittently. I assumed it
Just throw-out for some thoughts I was musing on.
In the windows world of old, you had your domains, each with a SID, and
thus your users ended up with unique SIDs as the domain SID is prefixed to
their user SIDs. Domain trust accounts could be established to enable users
from other domains to aut
Hi all, I did my upgrades as normal a couple of days ago, and now NFS doesn't
seem to automount my /home any more, where previously it was all working fine.
Here's what I installed at the time:

Interesting issue though, namely, the printer device and cups.

Hi, I'm well aware this is a hot potato of sorts, but has anything
changed of late regarding the actions mandated in debian init scripts?
There was mention of some changes being required for LSB compliance a
while back, but nothing seems to have come of it.

Well, I had a better run with my current kernel, it ran for 26 days
before things started going haywire this time. Instead of just
panicking, instead I kept getting random process deaths, some
swap-related errors, and a few oops', which I've attached for posterity.
I eventually had to reboot manua
Hi. I'm looking at using dhcpd's events to update my ldap-based DNS,
however I can find no documentation on the syntax of this scripting
language other than the actual code itself (which as ever, is woefully
lacking comments).
It doesn't look too complicated if I have a few hours spare to work
tho

Nope, already spotted that one as the url was given in the link on the

Whilst packages.debian.org is down, is there any way to get a hold of
the changelogs? All links seem to point back to packages.debian.org,
which makes me nervous before upgrading packages where I don't know what
the changes are...

Ok, I'll start by saying that I adore the "Debian Way"(TM). However, I
have a long-standing problem that is pretty much the only blight I can
find with Mr Debian.
My server PC is old. Really old. Cyrix M2 old. That said, it does the
