Psi-JackHey, anyone know how to setup IP Aliases in the /etc/network/interfaces?02:47
infinityBy "IP aliases", I assume you mean virtual adapters?02:47
Psi-JackI mean, just that. IP aliases. Several aliases bound to a single interface, for example, eth0, eth0:1, eth0:2, etc.02:48
infinityeg: "iface eth0:1 inet static\n address 123.123.123.123" etc?02:48
Psi-JackHmm, would that actually.. Work? hmm02:48
infinityIt's the same as setting up any other interface, yes.02:48
infinityThe only caveat is that eth0:1 can't go up before eth0 (so you could have a "pre-up" for eth0:1 that says "pre-up ifconfig eth0 up")02:48
infinityOr just make sure they're in the right order in the file, and all set to "auto" :)02:49
Psi-Jackheh. Hmmm.. auto?02:49
maswaninfinity: that's the way we do it at work (no aliasing at home currently) :)02:50
Psi-JackHmmm.02:51
infinityExample:02:51
infinityauto eth002:51
infinityauto eth0:102:51
infinityiface eth0 inet static02:51
infinity  address 10.0.0.202:51
infinity  network 10.0.0.002:51
infinity  netmask 255.255.255.24002:51
Psi-JackI have mapping hotplig, script grep, map eth0, which started eth0, eventually during the hotplug.02:51
infinity  network 10.0.0.1502:51
infinity  gateway 10.0.0.102:51
infinityiface eth0:1 inet static02:51
infinity  address 10.0.0.302:51
Psi-Jackhotplug even.02:51
infinity  network 10.0.0.002:51
infinity  netmask 255.255.255.24002:51
infinity  network 10.0.0.1502:52
infinityThat should work smashingly.02:52
infinityOh, get rid of the hotplug stuff on your server... (It's going away in dapper anyway, for all installations)02:52
Psi-JackOh, great..02:52
infinityudev will magically handly hotpluggish suff without the crazy mapping scripts in dapper.02:52
infinityThankfully.02:52
Psi-JackIt better be very "compatible" with otherwise, else every dumb-founded ubuntu person will be screaming. ;)02:53
infinitydapper's default interfaces file is much easier for people to understand (no one really understood the hotplug mapping stuff)02:54
infinityAnd the breezy->dapper upgrade SHOULD fix old interfaces files to remove the unnecessary gunk.02:54
infinityThis upgrade path needs to be tested, re-tested, and tested some more, mind you. :)02:54
Psi-JackThere should be no should in that statement. ;)02:54
infinityThe should will become a "does" or "will" before release, trust me. :)02:55
Psi-Jackhehe02:55
Psi-JackI love people in #ubuntu sometimes. I get more help /here/ than I ever will in #ubuntu, 19:20 times.02:56
Psi-JackCourse, then again, most of my questions are usually topics the average "user" doesn't use. ;)02:56
Psi-JackHmm. now to see if maradns can bind to multiple IP's, specifically set.02:58
Psi-JackWell, it certainly didn't like that. heh03:01
Psi-JackNot bad.. Not bad at all.. Roughly about 2.7mb, IF even that much, used by mydns. :)03:10
Psi-JackOh sheesh.. Not even 1mb. Roughly ONLY about 400kB.03:11
Psi-Jackheh. I'm wondering though, why maradns, being my caching dns, uses up around 8mb.03:15
=== Psi-Jack shrugs, "Better than the 20mb bind9 itself eats up, right off the bat. I guess." :)
Psi-JackHeh heh03:30
Psi-JackYeah, I found that out about the D C C S E N D exploit. For some reason SPI is vulnerable to it.03:31

pescoHi all. I'm going to set up a new server in about two weeks. Should I try Ubuntu server instead of trusty Debian, and if so, why?11:21
spikepesco: because trusty debian is trusty debian and not trusty debian-server, and you're building a server, not a generic linux box. because you cannot afford to run old software, neither to run unstable stuff from sid. because you have no time to spend on default customization you want on a server, like kernel patching. because u're running on some hw certificated by ubuntu and both customers and boss will be happy to see it as such11:29
spikebecause you're using some scsi controller for which dedicated management software exists but isnt packaged11:30
spikepesco: because if you're gonna need something server related you have more chances to see it implemented into ubuntu-server than generic debian11:32
spikepesco: and because you get all this based on your trusty debian11:33
pescospike: Thanks. I suppose going right with Dapper will be fine in my timeframe?12:26
spikepesco: I do not think so, then it really depends what's that machine for and what you define "fine", but I wouldnt advise it. better going with breezy and update to dapper later, even if with breezy you're not gonna get all the cool stuff12:30
spikepesco: dapper will be released in april,so in 2 weeks wont be stable yet. it will probably run fine and be stable, but you're taking responsibilities for that12:31

Psi-JackAnyone know of a web-based firewall/NAT/PAT manager, at all? ;)11:50
bpucciomonowall provides one, but its a complete distribution, not a web interface that you can install an on ubuntu machine11:56
spikePsi-Jack: think ebox is getting one. otherway ipcop/smoothwall got one too you could rip off11:56
spikem0n0wall as well, yeah11:56
Psi-JackHmmm.11:56
spikethe other frontend I know of is GUI, firestarter11:57
spikePsi-Jack: are you sure you need something webbased?11:57
Psi-JackWell, the reason I asked for web-based, is I will be using it on a remote monitorless box. Within my LAN.11:57
spikewouldnt something like shorewall do the job?11:57
spikessh to it?11:57
spikeI cant think of anything bettern than shorewall for fw management11:57
Psi-JackShorewall. What's that?11:57
spikeit's rock solid, can take care of everything, from vpn to tc11:58
spikea cli frontend to iptables11:58
Psi-JackHmmm. I ntoiced, there's a shorewall webmin module.11:58
spikeno idea, vim is all I need with such good confs11:59
Psi-Jackhehe.11:59
spikeyou can define zones, policies and whatever, like u'd do on a netscreen11:59
spikemuch better than cisco like style imho11:59
Psi-JackCool. :)11:59
Psi-JackI'll have to check it out, then.. ;)11:59
spikeI would :)12:00
Psi-JackHeh, webmin-shorewall removes webmin-firewall. Oh well. Still gonna check it out.12:00
