[03:56] <xerophyte> is there any program to monitor the /tmp partition for nobody uploaded files ?
[04:21] <FireCat> Has anyone been able to get saslauthd to work with postfix in Dapper?
[04:22] <J_P> hi all
[04:23] <lionelp> FireCat: yes
[04:24] <J_P> in dapper have somethink special for ubuntu server ? like as some addional files to server / conf ?
[04:24] <FireCat> lionhelp: testsaslauthd works ok and returns success
[04:25] <FireCat> lionhelp: I'm getting an error in maillog  warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory
[04:25] <infinity> FireCat: postfix runs chrooted, some mangling needs to be done to make this work.
[04:25] <infinity> FireCat: Someone a few days ago was having issues, and resolved them.
[04:25] <lionelp> J_P: everything is described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerFaq (better that i will do myself)
[04:26] <lionelp> do you need saslauthd for other things than postfix FireCat ?
[04:27] <FireCat> lionhelp: No, I don't think I do. I only have like three accounts I want to set up even
[04:28] <FireCat> That is why I thought that saslauthd would be the easier route to go
[04:28] <lionelp> Ok, so, just edit /etc/default/saslauthd configuration file
[04:28] <lionelp> and add at the end:
[04:29] <lionelp> PARAMS="-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/"
[04:29] <lionelp> restart saslauthd
[04:29] <lionelp> it should work
[04:29] <FireCat> Ok, let me try that. Thanks
[04:30] <lionelp> (i personally use saslauthd for other purposes, so i made a simlink from /var/run/saslauthd to /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd)
[04:31] <FireCat> Ok, I'll keep that in mind in case I want to do something else with it
[04:33] <infinity> lionelp: The symlink trick doesn't work in dapper, you have to bindmount /var/run/saslauthd to /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
[04:34] <infinity> lionelp: Err, wait.  symlink the directory?  Yeah, that would work.  I'm not awake.
[04:34] <infinity> (Someone else was bindmounting rather than linking the sockets, which works too)
[04:34] <lionelp> yeah, it works, promise, it is tested on my mailserver :)
[04:35] <infinity> Always about a dozen ways to do anything. :)
[04:35] <lionelp> infinity: you are working too hard these days :)
[04:35] <infinity> lionelp: I thought you were symlinking the socket, not the directory, hence the "that won't work!" comment. :)
[04:39] <FireCat> Starting saslauthd is failing. It seems I don't have a /var/spool/postfix/var
[04:40] <FireCat> Just /var/spool/postfix
[04:41] <lionelp> right, it is not done by default
[04:41] <lionelp> create it :)
[04:43] <FireCat> Owner postfix?
[04:44] <lionelp> never mind
[04:45] <lionelp> root is better
[04:45] <lionelp> (postfix does not have to write in this dir)
[04:49] <FireCat> Ok, saslauthd started, but testsaslauthd fails now, and I still cant authenticate
[04:49] <FireCat>  Oh, I see I need an -f switch I bet
[04:58] <FireCat> Ok, testsaslauthd works with a -f to the mux file , but I'm still not getting authentication from postfix: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed
[04:58] <FireCat> Do I need to copy in files into the chroot?
[04:58] <lionelp> nope
[04:59] <lionelp> did you configure postfix right ?
[04:59] <FireCat> Well the only thing not working is the smtp auth
[04:59] <FireCat> It is working otherwise, why I had just mynetworks set up
[04:59] <FireCat> s/why/when
[05:01] <lionelp> I do not find it on the wiki
[05:01] <lionelp> another thing to add :)
[05:02] <lionelp> FireCat: here is my configuration part for smtp-auth: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14856
[05:02] <lionelp> (sorry, comments are in french)
[05:09] <FireCat> lionhelp: Thanks
[05:14] <mocker> Good morning everyone. (or everyone in my timezone :))
[05:16] <lionelp> hi mocker
[05:17] <mocker> Looking to learn more about the Ubuntu server project.
[05:18] <mocker> Will the dapper server release occur when the dapper desktop release happens?
[05:18] <mocker> Or is there a different cycle?
[05:19] <lionelp> mocker: yes, it will occur on thursday
[05:20] <infinity> Different release cycles would be unmaintainable, since we share the same archive.
[05:20] <FireCat> mocker: As far as I know it's just a different install on the release cd, and I think a different kernel, without desktop stuff like premptive. Is that right?
[05:20] <mocker> So for testing, I should probably start w/ dapper..
[05:21] <mocker> Since it's about to be released.
[05:22] <lionelp> FireCat: you are right
[05:22] <lionelp> mocker: yes, it is probabily a good idea to start with Dapper
[05:23] <mocker> So there is going to be 5 years of support but it will track the same release schedule as desktop?
[05:23] <mocker> That seems ambitious. :)
[05:23] <FireCat> mocker: I think the desktop is only going to be supported for 3 years
[05:24] <lionelp> mocker: did you look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerFaq
[05:24] <lionelp> (yeah, I know, i paste this link all the time :-))
[05:24] <mocker> lionelp: looking now. :)
[05:26] <mocker> Oh, so it's the exact same thing as desktop but w/ a different install CD?
[05:28] <FireCat> mocker: The kernels are configured differently
[06:01] <J_P> lionelp: (11:24:12) J_P: in dapper have somethink special for ubuntu server ? like as some addional files to server / conf ? (11:25:52) lionelp: J_P: everything is described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerFaq (better that i will do myself)  . Sorry for long time. Thanks for that link!
[06:01] <lionelp> J_P: you're welcome
[06:02] <J_P> :-)
[06:02] <mocker> So universe is a community supported repository, correct?
[06:03] <lionelp> mocker: yes
[08:51] <mloman> Hello!
[08:53] <lionelp> Hello mloman
[10:24] <neuralis> uh, that faq is confusing at best
[10:25] <neuralis> "What's the difference between desktop and server? The first difference is in the CD contents. ... An other difference is what you will find on the CD-ROM"
[10:25] <neuralis> er.
[10:31] <lionelp> neuralis: oh, yes :-(
[10:33] <neuralis> lionelp: i don't have time to edit the page at the moment, but you should point out the existence (and autoinstallation) of the server kernel in those first two bullet points.
[10:33] <lionelp> yes
[10:33] <lionelp> I dot it right now
[10:35] <neuralis> lionelp: the official book will be out soon, and all of this is explained, so you'll be able to integrate it into the faq (the license is rather liberal.)
[10:36] <lionelp> neuralis: I am not the initial author of this FAQ, I just corrected few things this afternoon
[10:36] <lionelp> the officiel book is the server guide or there is something else ?
[10:37] <neuralis> the official ubuntu book
