Re: Looking for a tool to simulate unreliable network connections
Hi, Yes, use "tc" command from iproute package. Or you can make a script to: - Enable/Disable kernel forward in you router. echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward - Add/Drop static routes. route del default - Reduce TTL in the MANGLE table. - Enable/Disable firewall rules. The last two using iptables. Depending on frequency of this command you can simulate a slow connection. Bye!!!

Let's call that site A. So the web server on site A is using a site certificate signed by a homemade CA certificate. Now you try to do a secure SSL connection to site A from site B. But ... Does site B have that homemade CA certificate installed in its repository of trusted CAs? If not, then it won't work.

AMD64 is the designation for the 64-bit chip architecture, not the actual chip manufacturer.

Experimental: I failed to mention that I have the target release set at
testing. As I read the man, the 500 setting will respect the target
release.
Stable: True, and the setting is redundant. If there is no replacement version,
stable packages will be left alone either way.
Volatile: I was thinking of freshcalm but that setting wouldn't help anyway.

Yep. I've never lost a file-system in 7 years of Debian until the

So really I don't need a preferences file except for my emergency plan to
rollback to a cached version of a package. (apt-cacher keeps its cache on a
usb drive for my 3 machines. I am archiving versions by not cleaning it
until the next release.)
In that scenario, I would have gone ahead with an unwise package upgrade and
would be retreating to save my arse, er ("down ego, down boy") the system.
In which case, I pin the rolled back version to 1001. The preferences file
can live on in moderation for the sake of learning.

Re: Removing SSH's welcome message (before login)
Hi Ok, i was told sshd will keep sessions alive during an upgrade, which would make sense since they're in memory and i'm upgrading the binary on disk. Still, after many aptitude upgrades where the ncurses popup tells me the following services need to be restarted, that didn't come to mind at the time. So the idea was to run two different binaries on two different ports with two different config files (just changing the port (yes i opened the ports in the fw)). This is a minimal remote server running lenny. Here's a step-by-step of what i've done, maybe someone can shed some light on where i went wrong: 1. cp /usr/sbin/sshd /usr/sbin/sshd2 2. cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config2 Change the port in 2. 3. open the new port in the fw and restart it 4. cp /etc/init.d/ssh /etc/init.d/ssh2 Come to think of it i don't know why i would also copy the init script, 'cos that evidently screwed any attempt at a clean reboot. 5. /usr/sbin/sshd2 -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config2 & 6. test both connections 7. wget ...debian.org...openssh-server_5.3p1-1_i386.deb 8. dpkg -i openssh-server_5.3p1-1_i386.deb Which produced this: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of openssh-server: openssh-server depends on libc6 (>= 2.8); however: Version of libc6 on system is 2.7-18. openssh-server depends on libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.7dfsg~beta1); however: Package libgssapi-krb5-2 is not installed. openssh-server depends on libk5crypto3 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2); however: Package libk5crypto3 is not installed. openssh-server depends on libkrb5-3 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2); however: Package libkrb5-3 is not installed. openssh-server depends on libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8k-1); however: Version of libssl0.9.8 on system is 0.9.8g-15+lenny5. openssh-server depends on openssh-client (= 1:5.3p1-1); however: Version of openssh-client on system is 1:5.1p1-5. dpkg: error processing openssh-server (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured I assumed dpkg didn't actually do anything, but i guess it must've done something. When i came home i couldn't log in again. Fortunately my host's reachable by phone, we scheduled a reboot. Didn't work, i wasn't even getting error messages again, just connection refused[1], on both ports, by the new version. They opened console through vnc, i ran some updates, upgrades, purges and what not and it's back working again, with the old version. And it still shows its damn string. Btw why does openssh-server depends on openssh-client? Anyway thanks for the tips.

Some things happen only at boot time. But as to blacklisting ... Are you telling me you don't know how to search for a character string in a web page? I don't use Opera, but in Epiphany and Iceweasel, it's Edit --> Find This causes an entry field to appear in the bottom left corner of the browser, where you type in the character string blacklist "Previous" and "Next" buttons also appear near the entry field for you to click on.

Granted, it's for a different computer and a different sound chip, but many of the techniques are applicable to other machines and sound cards. It's there. Find it and read it. You'd learn a lot about Linux in general and Debian in particular by reading the whole web page, though that will take a while. But for now, all I'm asking you to do is search for the string "blacklist", back up a paragraph or two, and read.

Your setting will install latest experimental of a package which you insalled from experimental. I see no reason to have stable or volatile when you are basically tracking testing or unstable. FYI: The upcoming apt_preferences(5) manpage (e.g.: apt_0.7.26~exp2_i386.deb) states: Preferences are a strong power in the hands of a system administrator but they can become also their biggest nightmare if used without care! APT will not questioning the preferences so wrong settings will therefore lead to uninstallable packages or wrong decisions while upgrading packages. Even more problems will arise if multiply distribution releases are mixed without a good understanding of the following paragraphs. You have been warned.

My recent upgrade in one of the multiboot setup from stable to unstable caused unbootable system. If your ego ticks you, testing only (or with testing security if available) is good idea. If something broke, add unstable while keeping testing as default (higher preference) to get fixed packages. Right now, stable and testing have too much gap usually to be useful. I would rather rely on my local package archive under /var/cache/apt/packages/* for recent but working packages. (experimental's preference is set to 1 with reason.)

Persuading an Atheros wireless card to function in Lenny
