I have EXIM running on a server that I am trying to decommission (but I still have stuff I need to move off).
$ sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 stop
* Stopping MTA [ OK ]
* ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size,
mail system possibly broken

How can I stop exim from running and accepting mail on port 25?
I am connecting to a serial port using a Perle IOLAN DS1.
I have noticed occasions when I have tried to log in and got an error message “line not available - press any key” which we think is due to a previous session left “dangling”.
Is there a way of cleanly closing down my session to the host.
I have exim set up to accept local address with a suffix of -. So if joe is a user then joe-anything is accepted.

Is the any way off putting the command you do into the change message. So if I run apt-get install widget I would like the first line of the commit message to be something like install widget rather than a less helpful committing changes in /etc after apt run

Are there any gotchas in removing files (such as /etc/shadow/ from etckeeper control
I would like to put my /etc directory iunder source control using bazaar.
Are there any gotchas in doing this. It seems safer to do it user an ordinary user rather than root - might there a be a problem with .bzr belonging to such a user.
