A person connects to my Debian machine via modem, using PPP. When
they kill PPP to disconnect, system messages start being generated at
a rapid rate. This messa
Thank you. Actually, I'm wondering if you could point me to the
*source* fixes for samba (assuming it is not just a Debian security
problem), since the information is to be passed on to a non-Debian
sysadmin.

Thank you, Christian. Yes, man-db's unspecified dependency on perl
appears to be the problem. And so it seems, as BG Lim pointed out

Apologies if this is already known: If one installs the new mgetty
