huh.. i don't know about you.. but all 4 of my debian machines don't have sshd:ALL in the /etc/hosts.allow.. and yes.. there are specs for the compile.. it's located in the source directory, and as part of apt. add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb-src http://stuff distro main contrib non-free then cd to a nice scratch area (where you want the source downloaded) apt-get source pkg-name that will download teh source, and all of the requirements then, apt-get --build pkg-name that will start the automated build process.. just play around a bit.. and it will love you, just as much as you love debian :) Thank You, Ben Kochie (ben at nerp.net) *-----------------------* [ - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - ] | Unix/Linux Consulting | [ Haiku Error Message: ] | PC/Mac Repair | [ Chaos reigns within. ] | Networking | [ Reflect, repent, and reboot. ] | http://nerp.net | [ Order shall return. ] *-----------------------* [ - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - ] "Unix is user friendly, Its just picky about its friends."
