fabbionehey spike11:41
GheRivero'morning12:12
fabbionehi12:13
segfaultwill dapper aim some easy integration of openldap+samba+heimdal? or just for dapper+1?12:16
fabbionedapper+1.. there isn't enough time to do it for dapper12:18
fabbionebut12:19
fabbioneit would be possible if some people from the community would take the task12:19
segfaulti'd like to, i have some experience with samba+openldap12:21
segfaultintegrating heimdal wouldn't be so difficult12:21
segfaulti mean, at least for keeping the passwords in sync12:22
fabbionesegfault: well what are you waiting for to start? ;)12:22
GheRiveroan easy way to deploy and manage with LDAP will be ok12:23
fabbionedo you have patches?12:24
segfaulti haven't started yet, but i'll begin and update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkAuthentication12:24
fabbionethere isn't much time left...12:26
fabbioneanother month or so and feature freeze will be there12:26
GheRiveroi've being looking into authconfig and is not difficult to make it work with debian pam (between others)12:26
GheRiveroah! any plan finally for NFSv4 + kerberos?12:27
fabbionedid you read the specs?12:28
GheRiveronot all of then :)12:29
GheRiveroand launchpad is offline at the moment12:30
segfaultis anyone taking care of authconfig?12:31
GheRiveroi have a ITP open on debian12:32
GheRiverobut the people from REdhat change the code form C to python in the last version12:32
GheRiveroso i have to review it  again :/12:32
segfaultnice, since its in python now it'll be more easy to modify it12:33
GheRiveroyeah :)12:34
segfaulthttp://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=30223512:46
segfaultno one is working on it12:46
segfaultso i have my chance12:47
segfault:-)12:47
GheRiverofeel free to do it :)12:48

fabbione^^ everybody add your stuff01:25
fabbioneand no, we don't care about the new nVidia here01:25
GheRiverosince there is not a "real" backup solution for linux, what about try to include the agents of Veritas, CA... backup solutions?01:28
fabbioneare you allowed to redistribute them?01:28
GheRiveroi should look at the license for redistribution ... but they are freely downloable01:29
fabbionefree download != redistributable01:29

ubijtsahow about mondo-rescue or amanda01:34
tepsipakkiI'll ask Bakbone if NetVault is distributable..01:38
tepsipakkiwe are using it, pity though that they dropped support for debian but they are working on Ubuntu-support afaik01:39
fabbionetepsipakki: in that case talk directly with mdy01:40
tepsipakkiis he doing the same?01:41
fabbionetepsipakki: no, but he is the one in charge to talk with $company for stuff like that01:42
fabbioneif you know they are working on Ubuntu support, they might as well get an official contact01:42
tepsipakkioh, cool. I've just asked the local support about stuff like that, not any "higher" ;)01:42
fabbionewell remember that contact doesn't mean it will go anywhere01:43
fabbioneit's just the first step :)01:43

fabbioneare you adding to the wiki page?02:11
fabbioneotherwise nobody is going to work on it02:11
segfaultnot yet, i'm trying to see its license02:11
fabbionesegfault: just add it02:12
fabbioneadd all of them02:12
segfaultokay02:12

tepsipakki"DatabaseException: A server error occurred." :)02:26
tepsipakkibut it is coming up, aye02:27
spikefor FLOSS backup solutions I'd suggest bacula02:57
spikesimpler than amanda, as effective and reliable as that02:58
spikeand mondo-rescue imho is crappy, it's a c wrapper for bash scripts, cant think of anything nastier...02:58
spikeactually I can, but let's drop that argument :)02:58
ubijtsahehehe02:58
spikeif u want bootable images, systemimager works better imho02:59
ubijtsaas long as the live CD has bacula/amanda or whatever installed and can read the tapes...03:03
Valandiltapes....03:04
Valandilhi all :)03:04
spikehey Valandil03:04
Valandilfabbione: sorry for leaving yesterday so silently - I have some trouble in here, last dasy...03:05
Valandildays03:05
Valandilhi spike :)03:05
Valandilfor Backup I use tar, and mt / mtx for tapechanger03:05
Valandilbut a little proggie would be pretty useful, I think: a compare-tool for tape-devices03:06
ValandilI've written one, but it's quick and dirty till now03:06
Valandilit writes some test-stuff with one drive and tries to read it with the other one, then it calculates md5sums03:07
Valandilis useful, if You want to keep one virginal taedrive or emergency-restore if Yout changer dies03:08
=== digitalfallout [n=esharp@68-188-149-54.dhcp.aldl.mi.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-server
Valandilso from time to time one can compare the drives (and the headposition)03:08
=== spike misses the point
spikehow does that prove there're no errors in the backup u just stored?03:09
Valandiloh, sorry, I'm talking bout two points: my backup-progs and a proposal for an additional proggie for the disc ;)03:10
ValandilI think, a comparte-program would be useful on the disc, but mine is quick and dirty, perhaps one knows a ready one03:11
Valandiland I wouldn't put amanda as default, because its like shooting sparrows with a cannon03:12
Valandilso, I'd propose a set of small tools for backup, like mt, mtx, tar (ok, it's already in ;-) ) and some tools for checksumming03:13
ubijtsadump/restore perhaps?03:14
Valandilthen put a config-package on it, where You can tell the system, which directories to backup - tha't it03:14
Valandilubijtsa: yes, somethig like that03:14
ubijtsaok, they may be ext{2,3} only, but tried and tested and they work :)03:14
spikenothing against consolidate tools, but you might have noticed we just got into 2006 ;)03:14
spikeconsolidated*03:15
ValandilI like to keep it small, simple (?, could be philosophical) and easy to review03:15
spikethat's unix philosophy and it's of course good03:15
Valandilspike: You're right, but I would provide theese tools ... perhaps alternatively03:16
ValandilI think, we should not make a concept, which is only addressed at newcomers. We will (hope so) also have some Admins who set up their first linux-server on redhat 1.2 or something ;)03:18
Valandilthese people _will_ have unix-philosophy03:19
Valandilbut they might like a good package-management and quick vulnerability-respose, so they might try ubutu ;)03:20
spikeValandil: I had a machine running slack 3.0, does that qualify me as an Admin (even the uppercase A, wow) with unix-philosophy? :)03:22
spikeValandil: the whole deal about automation and unix-philosophy is tricky. most of the debian admins would consider themselves Admins, yet debian has got a thick layer of scripts to ease the job03:24
spikeand honestly, I dont see how such layer would diverge from the u-p03:24
spikethe point is to make such layer transparent enough03:25
=== GheRivero [n=ghe@81.172.88.126] has joined #ubuntu-server
Valandilspike: the uppercase is because I'm german and I always forget the 'lowercase-rules' in English ;-)03:48
Valandilwith the word 'admin' I meant more or less skilled people, perhaps professionals, so if You where able to run a slack - You should fit in this definition ;-)03:49
Valandilspike: if You ask me - I'm greatful for every script I understand and I don't need to write by myself, so I like the debian-scripts03:52
Valandilspike: and could You please explain this row: 'and honestly, I dont see how such layer would diverge from the u-p' ? I cannot figure out what You mean :-(  my English is not that good, I fear :-(03:54
spikeValandil: neither is mine, and I have not fears about that, just certainties :) so might be mine the faulty one. anyway. I meant I do not see how the scripting layer, like the debian one, is against the u-p. with scripting layer I mean all those scripts that ease ur job03:58
=== mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-server
spikeValandil: if u say u'd want dump/restore in because old-fashon admins would love it, I'd assume u'd not want scripts easing the interaction with such tools, because how would that differ from, say, rdiff-backup, which is just a wrapper to an old-fashioned and well established tool like rdiff04:00
spike?04:00
spikeValandil: so, my whole point was the idea of old-fashioned tools u proposed as an attractive point for Admins, is broken by design imho04:01
spikeValandil: as I already said, all the automation, the scripts and the stuff on this wolrd should be welcomed by any real admin as long as it's transparent enough and what it does is easing the job and not hiding the details04:02
Valandilspike: OK, yes, now I agree to You nearly full04:03
ValandilAll I'd love to have is the option at install-procedure to leave all these tools where they are: on the cd ;-)04:04
ValandilI loved woody and I hate sage because of exactly these facts: You cannot deny the installation of some background-proggies, which are nearly not eraseable afterwoods04:05
Valandil-o04:06
Valandiltransparency is obligatoric (correct word?), but 'slimness' at installation-moment would be nice04:07
Valandilyou get what I mean?04:07
spikeValandil: what irc client are u using? I kinda cheat and use "dictionary" plugin with irssi, that's useful to complete those freaking words :)04:08
spikeobligatory04:08
ValandilI use xchat but it's a good idea ;-)04:09
Valandilthx04:09
ValandilI just only could remember the german and the french variant, so I tried to construct the english one ;-)04:10
