casper's questions

Sometimes when installing a package, aptitude recommends several other packages.

Is there a way to show all previous recommended packages of all installed packages?

Edit:

Thanks for the replys so far. I already tried:

aptitude show ~i | grep '^Recommends' | cut -d ' ' -f 2-

Thats mostly ok. But it gives also things back like:

 console-setup | console-data (>= 2002.12.04dbs-1)

I want an easy way, to install all missing recommended packages.

So

 aptitude install console-setup | console-data (>= 2002.12.04dbs-1)

won't work ;-)

Is there a way, without manual checking all entries, to do this?

I've a running apache2 listening on port 80 serving some websites.

mod_proxy is configured for forward-proxying.

I'd like to have mod_proxy only listening to a separate port as 80

<Proxy *:55000>

Here I tried Port 55000. But this doesn't work :(

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I've Debian Squeeze running and setup a chroot environment (/jail) with debootstrap.

As seen in a tutorial, I mounted the following:

proc on /jail/proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /jail/dev/pts type devpts (rw)

Within the jail, i've running an additional sshd on a different port as the "parent" system.

So far, all is working fine and as expected.

But I just noticed, that i am able to change the host IP address from within the jail. Is this a normal behaviour? I tought, that the chrooted environment cannot change things on the "real" system? But after changing ip address and running

/etc/init.d/networking restart

the system was only reachable via the new ip address.

Please can someone explain, why this behaves like it does? Is there a way to prevent this? So that everything within the jail, "stays in the jail"

Thank you very much in advance.

Is there a way to pass the username and password from a file instead of the command line via --user and --password?

Background: I want to run wget via cron and don't want the username/password show up in process view
