Yes, I made a first stab and have something really rudimentary.
But it has been moved 'back down the queue' as I (as part of the pkg-openmpi
team on Alioth) am trying to get an all new, all shiny OpenMPI into
Debian. Maybe this weekend. If and when it happens, I *will* post in
debian-science (and possibly debian-devel) to reach other MPI maintainers and
users.
And yes, once we have a properly maintained and non-buggy OpenMPI package, it
will be worthwhile coordinating with other the MPI implementation packages,
and updating the packages using MPI (and particularly lam) such as Rmpi.
Help would be welcome on any and all of these projects. For the R/MPI
intersection, I am currently the only worker bee so this is bound to be
slow.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

I have set up a network for our house using a gateway server with etch and two
NICs, eth1 for the internal network and eth2 for the DSL modem.
I set up iptables with firewall-builder and all seems OK, but I can only ever
access the web interface on the DSL modem from the gateway server directly after
downing the internal network on eth1.
The modem's web interface is on 192.168.1.1 on eth2 and if I don't down eth1,
the browser won't find it.
This cuts the internet connection for the rest of the network though which means
I have to tell everyone in the house, and secondly, I have to go to the actual
machine which is not in my study where my workstation is.
So my goal is to be able to connect to the modem on 192.168.1.1 from anywhere
internally. How can I set up iptables to route packets from eth1 to eth2 just
for 192.168.1.1 ? It's not obvious in firewall-builder!
Thanks

Downgrading libconsole and console-tools seems to have solved the problem.

I am running 2.6.21 with no PARAVIRT and kqmeu works just fine.
Might be that my old pentium-III clunker has no relevance for
paravirtualization. Probably only applies to newer intel chips and then one
would use kvm instead of kqemu. K7? I do not know.

Microsoft has RTF, SQL and others to its credit and we all use them. If only
they would conform to their own standards! I do not see how office formats
could be ISO'd because they keep changing them and adding to them and
backwards compatability can be problematic (forwards as well).
However, what harm would there be in it? Openoffice reads them and writes them
and we like that, right?

The only ntfs-3g package I could find on backports.org is a backport for=20
sarge. It seems that there is no backport for etch, sorry.
If you need somebody to build the package for me, then ping me via private=
=20
mail, but I do not really use it. Therefore, I won't maintain the backport =

Subject: size and position of iceweasel window
Message-Id: <200706232113.RAA19629@syrano.acb.uc.edu>
Is there a way to make the iceweasel window consistently pop up at the same
position every time? I've been unable to control this. I'm calling
Iceweasel 2.0.0.4 from an xterm under the fvwm-2.5.18-3 window manager.
Adding a line like this to ~/.Xresources worked for Netscape but is ignored
by iceweasel:
Netscape.Navigator.geometry: 800x977+773+87
I tried removing the localstore.rdf file, which I gather can get corrupted,
but that didn't fix anything.
I also haven't been able to call a window of a given size. A command like
iceweasel -width 300 -height 300
brings up my usual 800x980 iceweasel window. I have that size listed in
prefs.js, but it is also ignored as far as I can tell. If a site resizes my
iceweasel window and I close it, I get a window of whatever the last size
was, not what's specified in prefs.js.
Thanks.

Hello,
i'm running a server for several customers using cyrus/IMAP, sendmail,
apache2 and ssh.
I'm looking for a way to store all the passwords for them in _one_
database so i can manage them easily by a web interface.
My solution was to store the passwords in a MySQL table.
Now the problem is that cyrus and sendmail use sasldb for
authentication, but ssh uses PAM.
This is rather unsatisfying because libpam_mysql, libsasl2_modules_sql
and mod_auth_mysql (apache) all have quite different approaches /
ideologies.
I had to store the passwords in plaintext because of the sasl interface,
but the new mod_auth_mysql will allow encrypted passwords only... that's
only one of the issues.
Maybe somebody is using a similar configuration? How do big hosting
sites manage their passwords?

what kind of radeon are they? the problem seems to be with the amd64

when freezes, the only way to go out is with a hard reboot, which takes

1 signature not checked due to a missing key
--------------------
(I have removed all email addresses from the output of the gpg command.)
Then you know at least that the new key has been signed by Joerg Jaspert
and you checked his signature using his public key from the
debian-keyring package. (The second signature cannot be checked because
that key is not part of the Debian keyring.)
An even better approach would be to download the Backports.org Archive
Key manually and to check the signature before adding the new key to
apt's keyring. (Installing the debian-backports-keyring package directly
means that an unverified post-installation script has root on your
computer, therefore you cannot really trust anything after that,
including the keys on the Debian keyring.)
P.S. The same goes for the debian-multimedia-keyring package.

FYI, the best approach for your above is to use sed, which can still
maintain lighting speed even the "temp1" is 1g or 10g in size:
sed 's/^/20070622,/' temp1 >> temp2

By artifically tying the database concept to a GUI, you may
limit your choices severely.

I use LDAP for sendmail, apache2, sasl, pam, and dovecot (instead of
cyrus).
All non-system users are defined in ldap, and can logon to any machine
that happens to be replicating the database.

Yes, even with LDAP there are a few things that make you go 'wtf?!?'

I have slapd store the passwords in crypt format - so normal shadow
services continue to work as before

I'm a small shop, but found it easier to help others if I ran my setup
closer to theirs
