Netscape 4- uses the following scheme:

(See "Subject Common Name" a bit further down)
I think Mozilla works the same way, plus it supports the "subjectAltName"
SSLv3 extension (as does Internet Explorer 5+, but not Opera 7-!).

Description : Web based double-entry accounting
FibuSQL is a web based double-entry accounting software mainly
designed for private use, in the sense that it currently has no
special support for tax accounts etc.
It relies on a database to store all data; mySQL and PostgreSQL have
been tested, but others supported by PEAR should work as well.
Currently, this package is only available in German language, but I
will supply an English version soon.
I intend to upload this package with the help of a sponsor.

I did not request anything different. Keep creating -source package as
usual, then extend apt-src to allow smooth transition, then extend
debian-cd to include such essential source packages in default config
and only then begin to kill -source packages. And not vice versa.
Gruss/Regards,

IF they will be accepted in woody... That's not so obvious.

You haven't read the latest version of developers-reference. It's no
more so precise in the delays, it says :
- file bug
- wait a few days
- send patch
- wait a few days
- upload nmu to DELAYED/7-day and inform the maintainer (and send the
patch for the complete NMU)
Of course if you file bug with patches, or if some bugs already have
patches, there's just one "wait a few days" and it's up to you to decide
if "few" is 2, 3, 4, 5 or more. :-)
I think the NMU rules are quite good now. But people keep complaining
about NMU rules instead of doing NMU ... ;-)
Cheers,

I agree that this is a UI improvement for the pager, but I don't think
it fully addresses the issue of using the wrong characters, specifically
because of the copy-paste problem.

Description : Dockable clock app for WMaker, BlackBox, E, SawFish etc
Welcome to WMFishTime, winner of the "Best Waste Of CPU Power" award!
This is a dockable clock application for WMaker, BlackBox, E, SawFish etc. .
The features include gradient backdrop, anti-aliased hour, minute, second hands
alpha-blended bubbles, real-time sprite engine, precision accuracy,
and shows if you have unread mail (in the form of swaying weed blocking the
day/month numbers).
Well, this is just your standard time dockapp. Top part has the clock face,
bottom part has day of the week, followed by day, followed by month. Yellow
hand counts seconds, green hand counts minutes, red hand counts hours. Few
seconds after startup there are at least 32 bubbles floating up behind the
clock face. There are 4 fishes randomly swimming back and forth. If you move
your mouse inside the dockapp window, the fish will get scared and run away.
If you compiled in mail checking (default), then whenever you get new mail
in the file pointed to by the $MAIL variable, it will display green weed
partially blocking the day/month counter, to remind you to read your mail.
If $MAIL is not set, nothing happens.

Does this affect the the use of \- in man page headings to facilitate
parsing by mandb? For example:
.SH "NAME"
frob\-foo \- frobnicate a foo
It looks like that shouldn't be ambiguous (you can split on " \- "), but
I'm not sure that's what actually happens.

That's fine; internally, mandb converts "\-" into "-" solely for the
purpose of parsing headers, and then splits on " - ". (So actually " - "
works on Debian, but " \- " is required for portability as well as to
look better in the way this thread describes.)

Mmmm, that's what happens when I don't keep up with these ever-changing

Hmm, this does look much better now. :-) Potentially I can NMU within a
week and not break any rules. (Of course, I may get a few disgruntled DD's
on my back, but that's OK...)
Thanks for your corrections.

The real problem is not the CN, but the certificate which the server
present. There is no way (other than having multiple ip addresses) for a
server to know which hostname was requested before the SSL handshake is
ended. This means, if you have domain1.com and domain2.com on a single name
based virtual server, you cant ship a certificate for the requested domain.
*.com or {domain1,domain2}.com
are of course not a real solution. Personally I think it is good that IE
does not allow such a complicated pattern matching, and most CAs wont
vertify wildcard certificates, also.

Hi, I have emailed the guy who submitted this bug, with no answer.
Any Perl people want to have a look at it and see if the problem
behavior is still there?

Thankyou,

It also gives positive feed back to anyone who experiences a bug "that
bug has already been reported and fixed in unstable" so they can make
decisions like "is it worth upgrading in order to eliminate this bug?"

smpasswd is more like /etc/passwd.
It could perhaps be argued that maybe it should go under /var/lib.
In any case, smbpasswd isn't a requirement for using a samba server,
I believe you can use network based authentication...

I wouldn't complain if nobody updates sendmail...
Why does hotplug need to be changed?
/etc/ntp.drift and/or /etc/adjtime might be a problem, I gather not only
to they need to be writable at boot time, but the state needs to be
preserved across boots.

Given that the major/minor numbers are pretty limited even having 6000
partitions would be pretty hard.
I think thats realy just said as an exageratede example to show the
point.

PS: How often do you think a system with 6000 partitions would get rebootet
anyway? Who cares if it takes slightly longer? The UUIDs should all remain in the
block caches so it shouldn't take that long to scan them all.
