Maybe not the best idea. Try "modconf".

Dump your printcap file. Purge and reinstall magicfilter. Don't install

BTW: Can you do "telnet debain.homebase" (and why is debian miss-spelled?)
What is your hostname, what your domainname. What do you have in /etc/hosts
et al.?

# cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.32
