[cod] Disapointed

Hi, 

I thought I'd just chime in with a couple comments. Not sure if this is of any 
help but here goes...

Nothing inherently bad about a multithreaded application other then it 
clogging up the output of top/ps. But you really don't need root to run tss2. 
If you want to keep it running I'd also recommend blocking the TCPQueryPort 
in your firewall (default 51235, see tss/server.ini). You may also want to 
disable the built-in HTTP server once you're done configuring it (HTTPServer 
Enabled=0 in server.ini). The less things accessible from the outside, the 
better.

dhcp can set the nameserver but it might just not work correctly. You may just 
want to try manually setting the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf. If you still 
have DNS issues it might also be worth checking out /etc/nsswitch.conf.

Package should be either bind or bind9. Try dpkg -S /usr/sbin/named

It's been a while since I last did a fresh install so I'm not sure if it's 
default. I hope not. The whole rpc stuff usually comes with installing nfs or 
nis/yp.

All the rpc stuff depends on portmap. Unless you specificly need it you're 
best of with apt-get remove -purge portmap. 

Oh, I'm also running on a Debian(testing) box and didn't have any issues yet. 
OTOH I've only witnessed a maximum of 2 people on the server so it doesn't 
really mean much. ;)

Have a nice day
