The pppd executable needs to have the setuid bit set when it is

If it does lock the mailbox correctly you may well find that the

Version: 1.94-1
The adduser script replaces NIS entries with real entries, e.g.

The adduser script shouldn't touch lines starting with a + or -
character.

Because of the changes in the TeX directory structure since a few
releases of TeX (related) packages, I thought adding a (general)
