I have been running unstable since 2007 because at that time the only
radeon driver available for my equipment was in unstable,
so it stuck. I run a lazy version of unstable by up grading no more
than once a month. Last year I tried to avoid upgrading because lots of
things were broken So every thing this year has been a fresh install
since January. 
The feature I was looking for in LXC was in the Experimental repos. So
that what I am using. I had an issue or two installing but it works

I am using unprivileged containers installed by root for LXC

I just remove this line
and reran apt-get install ledgersmb
and it reconfigured /etc/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-httpd-2.4.conf
that was nice

This has been alot easier than in the past 
Thank you for this

I did this
/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ledgersmb.conf
I placed it here
  # By default, only allow from localhost.  If you change this, please
be # advised that you should use SSL protection on any and all network
  # connections that access this application in order to protect
usernames and # passwords.
  Require ip 127.0.0.1
  Require ip 10.0.0.13

and here
Alias /lsmbcss /var/lib/ledgersmb/css/
<Directory /var/lib/ledgersmb/css>
  Order Deny,Allow
  Allow from 127.0.0.1
  Allow from localhost
  Allow from 10.0.0.13
  Deny from All
</Directory>

Which is not much different than yourself

I cant remember so it probably was yes, just out of habit

I notice on the Ledgersmb site that version 1.40 something is out I am
wondering if I should not install from source with that version. I am
basically starting everything from fresh with books for I have made too
many foopahs over the last 4-5 years
