Thank you, Ken, I am aware of that list and subscribe to it. That list is great for Microsoft bashing, discussing animal-themed backgrounds twice a year, and bikesheding. Technical issues are understood by a overwhelmed and outvoiced minority there. Which is quite why I posted my question here.
Hahaa! That's sad and funny at the same time. I didn't realize how bad it is. Maybe that's why we get so many Ubuntu users posting questions here.
Do you feel that my question was OT for the Debian list? Are Debian-derived distros considered taboo by yourself or other list members? Would the issue have been different had I been on a clean Debian install and not a Debian-derived installation? These are serious questions, not trolls. If I'm on the wrong turf just let me know.
Nah, your question was fairly general and wasn't geared around any specific distribution. That's why I answered it. However, at the same time, we have to keep this mailing list in check so that Ubuntu users posting Ubuntu-specific issues don't get the wrong idea that this mailing list is for Unbuntu support. I'm sorry that I used you as an example when your question wasn't Ubuntu-specific at all.
That said, take your stinking question to the OpenSSH mailing list next time! Just kidding! :-)
