Depends. See the other posts about logrotate

No clue

I am logging to syslog (the protocol) and replaced syslog (the package)
with syslog-ng. syslog-ng can be configured to do this:
destination df_syslog {
file("/var/log/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/syslog"
template("$ISODATE $HOST $MSG\n")
owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes));
};
This is a snipped that configures a file in a directory-structure matching
the hostname and the date (you should be able to guess the details...)
http://www.syslog.org/syslog-ng/v2/ has some more examples.

Installing Debian into an existing encrypted volume with lvm
Hi! Is it possible to install Debian (lenny or squeeze) into an existing encrypted volume (partition or raid with lukscrypt) which contains a lvm with an existing installation of debian which shouldn't be deleted? The testing-installer in expert-mode has only two options to configure encrypted volumes: "Create encrypted volumes" and "Finish". Both don't let me add an existing encrypted volume to add a logical volume to install into. Is it possible to install at all in this situation, or do I have to backup - install - restore?

Why did you use the 3c2 that is intended as a router, but not the 1c [1]? It has vga, network, usb, and even sound onboard (spdif, too, if you are willing to build an adapter yourself [2]). Be careful with the PCI-slot of the alix1c though, it doesn't provide +12V/-12V, so most soundcards won't work. > Software wise, I wanted: MPD on the server, FLAC files served to the MPD > server No real alternatives to that... > A Nokia N800 running MMPC (http://mmpc.garage.maemo.org/) if I could > find one used at a decent price. I didn't find this gui at that time, so I wrote my own [3]. It runs without X (just SDL+framebuffer), and uses a touchscreen I got on ebay from some car-modding-guy. GPM has experimental support for these kind of touchscreens in the current version. I can control it via touchscreen or via my own LIRC-compatible infrared receiver [4]. > My Kill-A-Watt registers 3 watts max consumption when the ALIX is > playing FLAC files I have a small via epia system since I wanted to use a real soundcard, with a via C3 533MHz, 512MB ram, and a CF-to-IDE [5] adapter. > FLAC output is via USB, which is plugged into a Trends Audio > USB-to-S/PDIF converter.

Re: Read-only root (/) except /etc
* Daniel Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is it possible to have /etc on a separate partition from / (root) so > that root can be read-only while /etc is read-write? Making a read-only root-fs is quite complex. You didn't write why you do want to do this. If you have a medium that may break by to many writes (like a flash-disk), you can try mounting another (tmpfs?) over it with unionfs or aufs (I got better results with that). If you want to use that as a security feature, it won't work. If you really want read-only-root, you should have a log at grml-live [1]. Grml is a debian-based live-cd aimed for advanced users with a focus on text-tools (no kde, no ooo), and grml-live is its automated build-tool.
