 I'm uploading from Linux to an IIS FTP.  After the file is sent, if I
 check the byte count on the remote side and the byte count on the
 local side they differ slightly.  Anyone know why this is?

DOS-like systems use a pair of characters for  end-of-line, UNIX-like
systems use a single character. When you transfer a file between DOS and
UNIX using ASCII mode, the end-of-line characters are fixed.

Re: tool(s) to analyze contents of tcp-sessions

 Hi!
 
 I'm looking for a tool with which I could analyze the contents 
  (payload) of captured tcp-sessions. I know tcpdump, ngrep, tcptrace et 
  al but none of them can do what I need, and before I spend a week of 
  hacking together my own software...

apt-cache showpkg libpcap0 | egrep ^   | cut -d, -f1 | uniq

tcpflow and ethereal are my favorites.

 another reason? after all, what use is it to me to be able to resolve
 e.g. metrosophia.com to its IP, if the IP and the backup MX are down?

I believe it's the difference between mail bouncing and mail defferring.

 What I'm wondering is, what's the best way to start this process? 
 Assuming I have a partition set aside (which will be mounted read-only)
 to act as the root filesystem for the chroot cage, how do I get the
 basic file layout, dpkg, etc installed on it?  I could do a basic debian
 install, but that'd include things like a kernel, which I don't need.
 

I'd start with debootstrap.
