Due to a small bug in either autoconf or my build scripts, depending
on how you look at it, the Debian GNU/Linux autoconf package version
2.13-1 is actually not autoconf 2.13, it is an older CVS version. I
have now uploaded a new, fixed version 2.13-2. It should be available
on all Debian mirrors
As I said before, rpm does have the capability to install 2 different

It looks like a big Linux Beowulf cluster kind of thing is going to be

them to use Debian and 21264s, but that's up in the air. One big

Ok, after looking at this, I've decided that the cracklib support for

propose a naming scheme for module packages for PAM similar to how
apache modules are named, libpam-mod-foo, where foo is the module name.
