Hello there,
A couple of things I've noticed about this bug...
(1) is is really a kernel bug?
- if so we should clone and reallocate to kernel but also work arround

kernel version is 2.6" clause?
Just some thoughts...

The README.NEWS (or whatever the documentaiton file is called) could then
suggest that users that get the improved error message place a

Some further thoughts on my last post.
If logrotate was setGid to group "logrotate" and there is a directory
under /var that is group writeable by group "logrotate"... that could be
the place to create any temporary scripts?

Hi,
Saw your request for pdns-server testing... I took a copy of the package
(pdns-server_2.9.17-13_i386.deb) from

Looking at the postinst you now ship
/etc/powerdns/pdns.conf
and
/etc/default/pdns
in
/usr/share/pdns-server/
and use ucf to install t
then the clean target should also remove it. Here is
a patch to fix things!

previous patch did not setup unionfs correctly for a read only NFS backing
store...
Also did not pass a param to do_cifs_mount.
Patch casper.patch addresses these.
Also need to stop reconfigureing of networking when usi
I have been thinking about console (terminal) autologin. My interest
is in serial consoles particularly but I've tried to come to a
solution that handles serial and vga virtual terminals the same...
I'm basing this on an old implementation of mine:
