Howto make exim not listen on port inet 25

2000-09-16 Thread Jose Marin
Hi all, A home user typically receives e-mail with a pop program (fetchmail), and therefore he has no use for his MTA _listening_ for incoming mail on inet port 25, am I right? Because I assume fetchmail passes its load on to the MTA via the local interface, 127.0.0.1, isn't it so? Therefore it

Hi all, I'm reposting this question because I didn't get any answer recently. Maybe this has been discussed before but I haven't been able to dig it up from the mailing list archives or dejanews. I'm using several machines, some with potato, some with woody. I need to install a free (as in gra

Hi all, I'm sure this must have been discussed before but I haven't been able to dig it up from the mailing list archives or dejanews. I'm using several machines, some with potato, some with woody. I need to install a free (as in gratis) f90 compiler, which needs glibc2.0 and won't work with gl

How to have quieter bootup messages?

2000-03-16 Thread Jose Marin
No, I don't mean the messages from the init scripts (I guess you can use the VERBOSE variable in /etc/default/rcS for that); I mean the bootup messages from the _kernel_, the ones you can read again with dmsg. I searched the file /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and the BootPr

portmap/networking: shutdown script links screwed-up?

2000-03-10 Thread Jose Marin
Hi all, I am running several boxes with unstable(woody), and the sutdown process on some of them hangs near the end. They are all NFS clients to other Linux and Solaris machines. The ones that hang do it when trying to access NFS (I think trying to umount the nfs mounts I have in /etc/fstab) *

Small bug in autofs init script?

2000-01-21 Thread Jose Marin
Hi all, I wanted to check this with all of you before I count this as a bug and submit a report. This is on Debian unstable, autofs-3.1.3-2.1. I checked on bugs.debian.org, and it seems this bug is not reported. The problem: when specifying a nis map in the file /etc/auto.master, the init scr

netstd installs with wrong file ownership?

1999-09-03 Thread Jose Marin
Hi all, I just upgraded the package netstd v. 3.07-8 on my machine (potato) and it turns out that it got installed with ownership "jose.jose" (my username) instead of root.root. That happened for all files, not only the binaries. I'm pretty sure that I was running dselect as root (i.e. no fake
