A couple more questions...
1) When the kb locks, can you ssh in from another machine and run programs?
2) If you can, does killing any X apps you have up make them disappear from
the dead machine's monitor?
3) Have you tried another keyboard?
4) Have you checked /var/
With packages.debian.org down, how can I find out which packages contain
certain files?
I need to get:
libcrypt3.so.2
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
libssl.so.2
libXm.so.3
But can't figure out where they are.
Thanks.

I'm setting up a car computer that will be shut down by powering off, and
need to keep fsck from running at reboot.
I tried doing a remount-ro, but now it spits out lots of errors and doesn't

I need to be able to write to the /tmp partition though.
How can I do this?

I am trying to get a friend's Potato R3 install to connect to his ISP so we
can download and install a version of X that will work.
I ran pppconfig and entered the information correctly, but pppon fails to
connect.
I set up wvdial and ran it. It will connect and even get an IP address for
the ppp c
When I use KDM to start X, after logging in it goes right back to the kdm
login screen.
I can login from the console and run X with startx without a problem though.
Here are the lines from applicable logs:

I use exim for my mailserver and its .forward file to do my delivery.
I have this at the end of my .forward file:

I'm trying to setup a simple mailing list using exim and mailman.
Every minute when the cron runs I get this:

The minimum is none. :)
I don't know if you really need firewalling...do you have a network on the
other side of that machine?
What you probably want is just to close down ports you don't use.
Use nmap to see what ports are active and close those you don't want or need.
That should give you pretty

* (^From:.*Reel\.com)
/dev/null
:0
* (^From:.*sonypictures\.com)
/dev/null
and I'd like to make them more like this:
:0
* (^From:.*Reel\.com) OR
* (^From:.*sonypictures\.com)
/dev/null
I tried to DeMorganize them like:

Do you have them installed?
FTP is wu-ftpd.
Telnet is telnetd. There's also a telnetd-ssl(?), that is more secure.

Sometimes I get a message and notice that mutt has decided that the
first few lines of the message are part of the header. It doesn't
happen every time though. Is any one else experiencing this?
I'm using 1.3.20-1 (the latest from sid).
