hmm but it sounds like too much trouble for installing a small package :)
There should be an option in dpkg/apt, -R, --ReplaceDependency  :)

I guess not.
It's realy a pity, as it would be so nice to know that everybody is running 
djbdns and qmail :)
At least we would get rid of the burdons of running antique soft.
(Note: I don't have anything against exim or postfix)

Well, it's his choice, who are we to argue :)


Ok status update:
I got it replaced with qmail (had to install procmail and ucspi-tcp(from src)).
I love apt-get BTW :))

It should be working soon, still have some lib probs :
avluv:/usr/src# /etc/init.d/qmail start

I believe in qmail, have been running it for the last 3 to 4 years.

not one problem that I couldn't solve or could blame someone else for, and _NO_

oic, I just tried with qmail, but that was the .deb I created from source, so I

I know, but I think qmail is a very good MTA, it being non-free is not entirely 
true.
It's non-free to distribute as binary, but it is as source...
So free enough for me :)

DJB should change his policy, especially with all the bind shit happening right

re all,

How do you simply replace a package with another package that offers the same

exim provides mail-transport-agent
qmail as well

so I want to upgrade mail-transport-agent from exim to qmail

What's the best way to do that? Pointers on a good apt-get/dpkg faq?

If you only have one nic, you can still masq, it's not a problem if you _just 
want to masq_.
Security wise it's not much of a gain, but it helps getting online with a 
couple of computers.

What you should do is :
--
# ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
# route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0:0

# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.255 -d 0/0 -j MASQ
--
Now you should be able to masq, just don't forget to point your client machines 
their default gw to 192.168.1.1

Note: I just want to say again: for security you need two nics!

What about just overriding the reverses locally, that should solve your problem 
fairly quick.
You shouldn't ask for permission from the guys who are authorative for them for 
the internet because you are running a local cache and you want to connect to 
them, right?
(Sorry, just woke up and have skimmed through the thread...)

Add a zone called 157.59.64.in-addr.arpa 
and in that one you put :
18  IN  PTR ns.emergeknowledge.com.

that should fix it locally.

You should be able to just run fdisk /mbr (from DOgS, you have a DOgS bootdisk, 
do you?)

Also make sure you have a linux bootdisk.

Pop in the DOgS bootdisk, run fdisk /mbr (this will clean the mbr).
Pop in the linux bootdisk, rerun lilo with the correct configfile.

What you can also do, and how I learned a lot is :

that will give you a small description of every command in there.

Try it for /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, ...

I know apt, and I love it :) but that wasn't what I meant.
I used to install Debian because I liked the install and where it put stuff.
Everything on there is compiled by hand until recently when I discovered apt :)

rebuilding dpkg db from manual compiled stuff

re,

2 questions:

1) How do you rebuild the dpkg db on a system where there are so many 
self-compiled/installed programs that you lost track of it.
I mean, is there a simple way of checking them in the db, so you can upgrade 
easily to the newest versions or do you have to install the debs and then 
remove your originally compiled programs.

2) Is there a way to update the dpkg db, with your own program info.
Without creating a .deb.
ex: I installed x from sources and of course there isn't anything in my system 
except the binaries and the config files, that show that I installed it.
Can I manually add that to the dpkg db? 
Or should I just edit some files in /var/lib/dpkg ?

HD size problem (IBM 30 GB)

2001-02-12 Thread Bram Dumolin
re,

Machine: linux-2.0.33, Debian slink, upgraded to latest stable (potato?)

I have an IBM 30 GB hd and it shows up as a 4GB in fdisk.
Does someone know if this is a kernel issue or something else?
In the bios I put it as LBA.

Although this might not be a Debian specific problem, I'm running Debian on 
that box :)

Ok tnx but I don't understand why they put 1.2.3 as the latest, and in security 
updates in the stable version.

They announced on Bugtraq that 1.2.3 fixes the recent key exchange bug but the 
openssh page says 2.3.0p1 does that.

Why do they go against the versioning of the original tree?
Is there some logical system behind this?

And how can I know that 1.2.3 fixes the bugs that were in pre 2.3.0p1?

tnx :)



Fwd: Re: ssh version ?

(This might get on the list more than one time.
I don't know what's wrong with my submission to this list as I get replies from 
some .jp domain, not being descriptive whatsoever).

I was wondering what the deal is with the version of ssh.
1.2.3-9.2 is the latest version shipped with Debian.
But the original openssh site says : 2.3.0p1
Can someone enlighten me on this?
