Like any good server-client combo, you install the server portion on the
server and the client portion on the client. So, the nslug gets 'samba'
and the webserver gets smbclient or an entry in fstab.

I agree. Unfortenately, ASYNCMOUNTNFS=no does not give me quite "the old init.d/mountnfs.sh behaviour" as advertised in the changelog.

Now I got it. So sync/async is a server export option while ASYNCMOUNTNFS is a client init option.

I guess, I'll file a bug report for initscripts. They seem to have a couple of problems on their hands already at the moment.

BTW: Nice hints on your website, Bob. I now have a .hushlogin :-) And thanks again for your help.

No. He said that IBM created SQL before MS existed and that it became an ISO standard in 1987 (after the foundation of MS and after SQL was created, obviously).

Yes. As someone mentioned earlier, take an arbitrary file 'left over' in that directory and find the package for that file:

dpkg -S filename

then purge that package by aptitude purge

repeat until the directory disappears.

  I guess it all depends upon what you're used to. But if you install  the rsnapshot program, and setup SSH key-based auth then it is very  simple to get working:

Although you think it's difficult to set up, I'd still recommend amanda.=20 Even if it is a difficult setup (config file, tape labelling, clients=20 software on clients) it's definitely workable.

I guess I should add that the machines I want to back up are a mixed collection of Linux, Windows, and Mac - so I'm looking for a solution that can backup/restore Mac files in all their gory details. Miles

Actually, aptitude won't purge the dependencies unless you pass the command-line argument --purge-unused. So your problem is just some packages that didn't get removed, not configuration files left behind.

Easiest way to get rid of the leftover files is to run 'dpkg -S' on them and find out which package they belong to, then purge those packages. That doesn't guarantee you've got all the dependencies, though. Daniel

I need major=250. The /dev/kqemu node has this. Time to get this consistant, straight in Debian kqemu package.

Or, just type xmbmon & to start it up. 'xmbmon -h' displays a help screen with options, and 'man xmbmon' displays the man page. -- Marc Shapiro mshapiro_42@yahoo.com

Yes, that is what I did with artsd from KDE. I made sure that I purged ALL of KDE and GNOME. Then, when I switched from Sarge to Etch I did a clean install (first time in 8 or 9 years) I made sure not to install any DTE so as to make sure that there was no cruft lying around. -- Marc Shapiro mshapiro_42@yahoo.com

I would like to see how VirtualBox stands up against the others. It seems to be the fastest emulator when it comes to Windows. Although this is only one person's opinion and there is no "scientific" evidence it just feels faster. -Tom End of debian-user-digest Digest V2007 Issue #1850 ************************************************** Received on Tue Jun 26 11:02:58 2007
