Upgrading kernel... no version in current package!

I'm new to Debian and only recently set up my first "working" system. Following the security advisory today, I attempted to upgrade my kernel with 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade'. It doesn't show any updates available. I do have the update server in my sources.list: 0:# cat /etc/apt/sour

Stop SSHD from reporting distro and version?!

When I telnet to port 22 on my 3.0r2 server, I see this: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1.woody.3 Isn't that considered sensitive information? Why advertise it so blatantly? Can I turn this banner off? Thanks, Krum -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsu

Apache & PHP4 won't play together [solved]

I'm using 3.0r2 on sparc. I installed apache and php4 via apt-get. Apache refuses to start with the following line uncommented in httpd.conf: # LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so Others have described exactly the same problem, on various architectures. THE SOLUTION: # echo

Debian & Wireless help...

I'm new to Debian and wireless networking at the same time. I've successfully installed Woody on my laptop, but I have yet to get the wlan-ng drivers to build. (Or build and install a kernel, for that matter -- something I consider routine on RH.) I'm hoping I'll have things sorted out by tomorr

Which GCC version for kernels?

Should I be using GCC 3.x for building kernels on Woody? I'm using 2.95 and I keep getting errors like undefined symbols and modules not being built or installed. I've tried both 'make-kpkg kernel-image' and the standard 'make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_inst

Any luck with Netgear MA521 (Realtek RTL8180L)?

I'm trying to get a new Netgear MA521 802.11b card working in Woody. According to what I've read, this card uses the Realtek RTL 8180L chipset and some have apparently had success with it in various distros. (The Linksys WPC11v.4 is supposed to have the same chipset.) Object-code drivers with op

(newbie) Still no network...

I've installed 3.0r1 a few times now on my laptop, and I'm still running into problems. I used apt-get to install a newer kernel-image and matching kernel-pcmcia-modules. It boots, but pcmcia won't load and I have no network. Assuming I start with a fresh install, what commands should I run t

New user help...

I feel like RedHat has sold out on me as a paying customer, so I'm looking at Debian. I've run into a few problems, though... First, the framebuffer console looks hideous on my laptop. I searched the list archives, but the only solutions I found were using the kernel parameter 'vga=normal' (n
