Is this MYOB plain or MYOB Premier?
I haven't had the chance to try MYOB on a Linux server as the one client

upgrade to a M$ SBS server and I wasn't prepared to recommend it to him.

Last time I looked at MYOB (on Win2000), it was still using 16-bit
dialogs. I think 'Newness' just isn't in their vocabulary.

Yep, use rsync. Servers are described on cdimage.debian.org.

It is logical, you're just looking at it from the protocol angle, not the
destination filesystem management angle. "Newness" doesn't imply
appropriateness.

strace is one of those cases where suid won't work. Its
disabled for security. The program still runs but as
the user who runs it, not root.
Try "strace ping 127.0.0.

Howard,
This is actually a known freeswan problem, you need to make the packets of
the freeswan ipsec* smaller then the ppp*. To accomplish this, put in your
ipsec.conf `overridemtu=`
Hopefully this will solve your problem.

Bugger! That was it! Have removed that parameter and am back in
business.
I'm going to have to tread more warily with my "hardening" of my system.

J & J,
It is Telstra ADSL, but I don't think that is my problem, besides, I don't
have a competitive alternative where some of these sites are located.
The server, which is behind a gateway box (which latter has the ADSL
connection), has its MTU set at 1500, but I think the chocking is
happening
Dave,
Sorry I am unable to remember your previous email but did you create
the ISO image or downloaded the ISO image from a debian mirror?
Could you have a look at the redhat site regarding how to install
on sparc? they might have something to help you thru.

If you're going Telstra-Telstra ADSL, and their routing issues still exist,
then you're stuffed. :) Basically you have to get on the opposite networks
to get decent performance at all.

I have set up a VPN over an ADSL link and I am getting traffic snarl-ups
as a result.
Previously this link was running without VPN and over PSTN.
My guess is that the server is sending out packets which are now too big.

Check to see if you've mounted any of your partitions with the 'nosuid'
option.
If it's not that, there's probably some more magic about suid privileges
