(425 Failed to establish connecti= on.) Have you considered trying to use rsync? AFAIK, security.debian.org runs an rsync server which may do what you are looking form more easily. I already tried that, but I can't get rsync to work: $ rsync -avz security.debian.org::debian-security . rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(162) kynn
Can't fmirror security.debian.org
I have no problem ftp'ing to security.debian.org anonymously, but all
my attempts to fmirror a directory there fail with
$ fmirror -f ~/security.fmirror
11:38:51 Connecting to security.debian.org...
11:38:51 Connected.
11:39:52 Dir listing failed, exiting. (425 Failed to establish connection.)
What am I doing wrong?
Here's my fmirror input file (~/security.fmirror):
username: anonymous
# also tried username: ftp
password: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
host: security.debian.org
remotedir: debian-security/dists/stable/updates
localdir: /home/my_home_directory/security
include: p updates/[^/]+/binary-i386
exclude: p binary-
exclude: p debian-security/dists/[^/]+/updates/[^/]+/source
Thanks!

[Q] How to keep Debian system secure: automation?
apt-get update/upgrade is good enough for me as a way to keep up with security updates at the binary level, but what's the best way to keep up with source-level security updates (e.g. patches to the kernel or to compiled-in modules)? [Since applying these patches can be very inconvenient, it would be good to know what packages I really use, so I can safely ignore patches that do not affect these packages.] Thanks! Kynn

Yes, this is what I would like to do, but I'm not clear on the mechanics of doing it. Does any Howto describe how to do this? Do I need root access for the mirror site? Where can I find instructions? The "Securing Debian" guide says: ...it is best to install without connection to the Internet, using a local packages mirror for both the Debian package sources and the security updates. You can set up package mirrors by using another system connected to the Internet with Debian-specific tools (if it's a Debian system) like `apt-move' or `apt-proxy', or other common mirroring tools, to provide the archive to the installed system. I can imagine of only two ways for me to do this. Either set up the mirror on CD-ROM, or else set up an sftp mirror on a machine where (unfortunately) I don't have root access. It seems to me that the CD-ROM approach should be easier, but I have not found out a way to generate a CD mirror from http://security.debian.org. Is it even doable? TIA, KJ

How to get the current security updates on CD?
Hi. I'm doing a fresh Woody installation, and I want it to include a reasonably current set of security updates, but I also want to do the installation offline. How can I get the security updates in CD form? I went to http://www.debian.org/security, but I couldn't find anything like CD images. Thanks, KJ
