Can't dpkg-reconfigure ssh

2002-02-09 Thread Kent West
When I run "dpkg-reconfigure ssh", I just get dropped back to a command prompt. No questions; no disk thrashing; no bells and whistles. I originally told sshd to not run; now I want it to run. I know I can just delete the file /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run, but I'd rather do it the "correct" way.

Hi folks, I'd like to get some input on an idea I had to backup a pure debian system. I like my backups on cd-r, so my current system backup eats roughly 10 cd-r. For me, this seems a little too much, because all packages are available via the internet, nowadays pretty fast with dsl/cable. So, I
