During my programming work I had to do some system administration tasks, and since a while I'm also maintaining some servers. This is a log for the problems I find - and hopefully their solutions.

p2p on debian

As far as I know, MLDonkey is the best application for this: multiple protocols (edonkey, overnet, torrent, gnutella, etc.), telnet- and web-based client, dpkg installer, what else would you need? Just running it was not so obvious for me, so here it is:
  • Start daemon: mldonkey_server --daemon --start
  • Stop daemon: mldonkey_server --daemon --stop
I'm sure it should work normally by /etc/init.d, but it failed for me.

Debian Administration site

This seems to be useful, tips and tricks site for Debian system administration. Bookmarked, too bad their rss feeds are not working in Opera 8.
