For example, consider the datestamps sizes of the following files (obtained using [1], output edited): Modification Change Size Filename 2009-10-30 14:59:14 2009-10-30 14:59:14 0 auth.log 2009-10-30 16:43:18 2009-10-30 16:43:18 4901 auth.log.1 As you can see from the size and timestamps: 1. logs for auth, daemon, kern, syslog are sent to the wrong file (*.1) 2. logs for dpkg, kdm, mail, user seems to be OK.

This is just a wild guess, but it seems that your logger is keeping the files open, and it was not restarted when the logrotate named the logs again.

Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld failed!
So I investigate further and find that this doesn't work either
# mysqladmin shutdown
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed

I am root and should be able to do anything...
So I do cooperate and provide it a user and password
# mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown
Enter password:
#
And so it works. Starting it back up isn't nearly as clean though
# /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld.
Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables..
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed

YES)'
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost'

So, I choose to reboot the system instead. Is there a better way?
Something is broken in your installation.. Do you have
/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
And the password there.
If you log in to the MySQL as root, and
mysql select User, Host from mysql.user;
Is the debian-sys-maint there? With the password you have in the
debian.cnf? And Host as 'localhost'?
You can change the password with command
mysql update mysql.user set password=PASSWORD('new-password')
where User = 'debian-sys-maint' ;
mysql flush privileges;

sphere (those in which I participate for professional
translators), etc., all function thus. The debian lists
are the only lists I've ever encountered where this is
not the norm.
There are other lists too, SpamAssassin lists for example. I handle these with
maildrop as follows:
if (/List-Id: debian-user.lists.debian.org/)
{
xfilter /usr/bin/formail -I\Reply-To: debian-u...@lists.debian.org\
to Maildir/.Ohjelmistot.Debian.User
}
Does not help the OP though, unless he reads the GMail with fetchmail into own
machine.

Add to that Gmail users who send list mail as Cc: and send the mail to the original poster instead of the list (uhum, Terence, for instance). This invariably breaks my filtering of mail into the appropriate directories. You should filter with List-Id header.

Re: Gmail again
If someone sends a message to your email address, and a carbon copy to list, just ignore the direct email, and answer the the list message. List-Id filters the list copy to the correct folder. The another copy is junk. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
