Automatically reconnecting after usbnet disconnect?
I connect to the internet over a USB conenction to a flaky cable modem. Occasionally the modem OS appears to reboot, resetting the network interface and causing the IP configuration to be lost, as well as shutting down all network services. Is there a way to restart dhcpcd when it reconnects without ...

Re: Move from 'root' to user
I've been a lazy Linux user as I log in and run everthing as 'root'. Recognising this as a bad practise what do I need to do to move across to a proper user (creating a user account, etc) so I don't have to recompile everything or break too much.

How do I make Alt-(x) send Meta-(x)?
Portage recently installed x11-terms/xterm-184 over the old built-into-X version. Since then, combinations like Alt-2 have been displaying extended characters (² in the case of Alt-2) instead of sending a meta before the character in question. How do I get the old behavior back? Meta does work ...

Try typing LIST when the connection is made.

Leafnode not connecting
I'm trying to set up leafnode, but neither xinetd or inetd will allow connections to ie. daemon.log shows them being configured, but it does not print a banner when I telnet localhost nntp. I've followed the instructions in /usr/share/doc/leafnode*/INSTALL.gz to set it up.
