Thats not entirely true and that is exactly the problem ;) With the manual "apt-dater-host status" step you cannot see: 1.) that ssh login with password is actually not supported in apt-dater 2.) that the sudoers line given before is missing and the refresh will actually fail To explain 2.) more detailled: I have a host that does *not* contain the line "user ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/aptitude update, /usr/bin/apt-get update" "apt-dater-host status" will output: ADPROTO: 0.5 LSBREL: Debian|6.0.3|squeeze pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci lspci: Cannot find any working access method. VIRT: Physical UNAME: Linux|x86_64 FORBID: 0 ... STATUS: cpio|2.11-4|i KERNELINFO: 0 2.6.32-5-vserver-amd64 How do I see with that information that updating the host will fail? Even when I run "apt-dater-host refresh" it runs through without any problems: ADPROTO: 0.5 Hit http://security.debian.org squeeze/updates Release.gpg ... and then output as above. But when I press "g" in apt-dater the host will be moved to "Unknown". When I add "user ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/aptitude update, /usr/bin/apt-get update" to sudoers, it will work as expected: The host is shows in "Up to date" after I press g. Is this the behaviour as it should be? I additionally noticed now that "VIRT: Physical" is not correct, it seems unable to detect vserver properly. Shall I open a bug report for that too? best regards Markus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
