Did you check the inode count? If not, see what 'df -i' says.

I have not heard/read that before. Personally I wouldn't be more concerned 
about connecting a computer to the net with a modem or nic. Mind what you've 
read though, I probably wouldn't even notice a security announcement re: 
modems.

The security team does release security updates for testing when needed, I run 
etch and I do have s.d.o in my sources.list.

I'm etchy already, and loving it.. :)

The answer is yes.  The recommendation to not directly connect an Etch
or Sid box to the 'net is given so that people will not blindly go about
connecting to the 'net and thinking that they are perfectly safe.  Now,
it is probably safer to connect a Sid box (packages take from 2 to 10
days to migrate from unstable to testing, even for security fixes).
However, given that Etch is frozen, it is receiving a great deal of
attention.

Security support for a release is genereally "officially" announced in
the pre-release freeze period.  That way, when the release "happens" the
security support is already up and running.  There is a team of DDs who
have a project going called "testing security", IIRC, which is supposed
to bring the same level of security support to testing as exists with
stable.

Personally, I can't wait, but there are still some serious transitional
bugs to work out.

kernel upgrade problem

2006-12-31 Thread Russ Cook

I'm running a dual core amd64 with Debian unstable, kernel 2.6.17-2-amd64.
Today, I tried to upgrade to kernel 2.6.18-3-amd64.  I get an unexpected
error message concerning a buffer-write failure.  I have attached a
script file with the error message.  I searched the mailing list, and didn't
see a related post.  I apologize in advance if I missed it.  Can anyone
shed some light?

when is etch safe to access internet?

2006-12-31 Thread Douglas Tutty
Hi,

Two interrelated questions:

Short question:  when can my Etch amd64 box access the net via dialup
safely?  At one point recently in relation to Etch (pre RC1), there was
mention somewhre (perhaps the relase notes of the time) [sorry for my
spottty memory]  that a testing box should not be connected directly to
the internet.  I can't find that anymore.  Right now I'm connected via
an old 486 with a failing NIC.  Now that Etch is frozen, is it safe to
connect directly with the modem?  

Long question:  How is security and etch transition from testing to
stable handled?  The release and security pages say that the testing
distribution does not get security updates.  Does this mean that Etch
must wait to be 'stable' before security is addressed or is it just a
hand-off from the individual maintainers to the security team?  This
could suggest that there will be some security holes between the time it
is released and when security updates are produced.   

I guess everyone is getting itchy for etch (etchy?).  


Thanks,

Doug.
