Not sure if that helps, but 'slay' might be the proper tool for it.

Hi!
I have to log out a user who is logged in via ssh. The information that
he is not allowed to login comes from the utmp-file like the pid to
kill.
If he's logged in via telnet, I can do the job by killing that pid. That
does not work with ssh: For some reason, all what I get out of utmp i

Hi,
I've a little question about version number and NMU on debian native
packages.
What's the standard way to modify this number ?
* On one side the developer's reference says:
"If there is no debian-revision component in the version number then one
should be created, starting at `0.1'."
So

Which Debian KDE folks will be there? I think this event would be
great for Debian KDE people to interact with upstream.

If you default to ~/tmp/ or ~/.temp/ or something like this, you get the
hashing for free, and you only need quota on the home partition.

It's really good news that someone is writing on this. Since Debian is
somewhat hard to install and configure for unexperienced user, but
otherwise Debian is The Best :), I guess many people are doing custom
