Hi all!
I'm a little bit puzzled.
I am trying to set up my system so I can read USENET news offline.
Having failed to get slrn and slrnpull to work I've decided to
try leafnode with trn instead. However it seems that using trn means
I can't use leafnode, despite leafnode suggesting it!

We are in the process of moving users from a BSDi box to a Linux box.
BSDi has an adduser script which accepts encrypted passwords. The
Debian adduser script does not. From reading through the code for each,
it seems that BSDi's adduser script manipulates the password file
directly. ( I'm not a

Currently we are building two Debian boxes(2.0.30) running as routers with a
PPP link in between. Things are mostly going fine except the link throughput.
56kbps is the best it gets while we are expecting over 100kbps since we are
using the 16550A UART serial cards, trying for 115K..

I just acquired an IDE tape backup and I believe that this uses ht0
for a device. I've recompiled my kernel, and the kernel recognizes
the device at boot and I have a ht0 listed in /proc/devices, but I
don't have any sort of /dev/ht0 entry to use the device with.
