[12:16] blah: mkdir ~user/public_html && cp junk ~user/public_html && lynx http://localhost/~user/ [12:16] Then marvel at the junk you just put there. [12:17] yuo dont store the users in /home/user [12:17] Come again? [12:17] im confused on how it works [12:18] <_clem> ~user is a like a link to the user's home folder... [12:18] <_clem> like if you type cd ~clem on my machine it'll go to /home/clem [12:18] the orginial document dir, is /var/www/ but if you have users on your box you would need to move their folders to /var/www/user [12:18] ~user is just shorthand for "the user's home directory, as recorded in their passwd entry", which is usually /home/user [12:19] blah: No, with mod_userdir ("a2enmod userdir" if it's not enabled in apache2 in your setup), http://host/~user/ maps to ~user/public_html/ on the filesystem. [12:19] Oh [12:20] now how would i create users [12:21] blah: adduser login [12:23] room number? [12:23] blah: 567 :) [12:23] why [12:23] can it be anything? [12:23] blah: joking ! [12:23] yes ! [12:23] k <3 [12:23] It is what weel appear on finger [12:24] s/weel/will/ [12:25] but, they have access to veiw / [12:25] anyway to restrict this [12:26] yes, there are shell users of the system [12:26] uhh? [12:26] what ? [12:27] how can i restrict them to their home directory [12:28] There is not an answer for this question [12:28] depends... [12:28] on your usage, etc. [12:28] just for hosting files [12:29] disable your users to remote login (check /etc/ssh/sshd_config) and setup a ftp server [12:29] did [12:30] chroot your users in their home (most of ftp servers can do that) [12:32] I add all my chrooted users to a certain group (say, chrootftp, or something), then use proftpd with "DefaultRoot ~/ chrootftp" and "DefaultChdir ~/ chrootftp" [12:32] So users in the "chrootftp" group will get chrdir()ed and chroot()ed into their home directory. === spike [n=spike@unaffiliated/spike] has joined #ubuntu-server === _clem [n=clem@83.245.76.204] has left #ubuntu-server ["Konversation] === NobodHere [n=nobodyhe@c-24-91-173-75.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [04:14] hey all!

Why? [08:19] ahh sorry .. didnt see your message. [08:20] why... Im placing an order for some next week [08:20] would REALY like to use a DEB Based system (Debian / Ubuntu) [08:20] and wanted to hear someones experience with them. [08:20] since Ive had trouble with debian / ubuntu on Dell Sc1425's before.. [08:20] (Kernel panic & driver issues) [08:21] IBM, are suggesting I use Redhat ... but I dont like RPM's :P [08:21] can you give me some indication of your experience with your hardware.. [08:21] (and what hardware it is your using) [08:22] We have a fair number of xSeries stuff at the DC (as well as a fair chunk of HP Proliant gear, and some evil Dells) [08:22] They all pretty much "just work". [08:22] ok.. have you had similar problems to what I said on the dells ? [08:22] But I only run the Ubuntu build daemons and do other random stuff on the boxes, I'm not the Canonical sysadmin. [08:22] ah ok.... [08:23] We've had no end of strange problems with the Dells, though kernel panics have not been an issue with official Ubuntu kernels. [08:23] ok... ours kernel panics with the default install.. [08:23] Special.. [08:23] within a few min of the system being installed and up and running [08:23] yea... REAL Special.. [08:23] does the same with debian also... [08:23] Is it a module panicking that you can blacklist? [08:23] and we have to frig arround to get a working kernel. [08:24] I havnt had time in the past to play with it. [08:24] my Co-Sysadmin is a fedora / Centos Guy [08:24] and was like.. oh well I know this works. [08:24] Anyhow, the IBMs aren't the absolute fastest machines money can buy, but they're solid and have given us no problems. [08:24] so we went that way... [08:24] yea Im not only after raw speed. [08:24] I want reliability... [08:24] and the IBM's look awesome for that [08:24] They're definitely that. [08:25] Im looking at x346... [08:25] For speed AND reliability, go HP, IMO. [08:25] with all the light path diagnostics, and hot swap hardware (most of it) [08:25] and the remote management stuff.. [08:25] Though the black IBM chassis sure does look pretty in a rack. :) [08:25] hehe [08:25] yea well tahts always important. :P [08:26] Hey, it sells Dells. :) [08:26] it sure does. [08:26] I had a hands on demo with the IBM gear (at their office) [08:26] and boy is it nice. [08:26] Seriously, though, we've had no complaints about the IBM kit except for I/O speed, and to be fair, the machines we have I/O issues on are a couple of years old now. [08:26] the guy let me pull it appart while in the rack. [08:26] its just so "Industrial" it realy makes the dell stuff look like a toy [08:27] ok... what sort of I/O ?? disk , lan ?? [08:28] Disk. [08:29] Network I/O is fine. [08:29] ok cool [08:29] what sort of disks do you have ? [08:30] But in places where we were using the IBM machines for really disk-intensive stuff, like building CD images and heave SQL usage, we swapped them out for HPs, and got the IBMs doing more CPU-bound stuff. [08:30] s/heave/heavy/ [08:30] ok... Interesting, so you think its the disk controller or something. [08:30] Like I said, though, those machines aren't that "new" anymore, so it's probably not relevant. [08:30] IBM and HP will always leapfrog each other, as they adopt new chipsets and tweak firmware, etc. [08:31] Oh, and the HP smartarray raid controllers are just blindingly fast. [08:31] ahh ok. [08:31] disk IO isnt SUCH a biggie for me. [08:31] and besides... our old hardware was just IDE / SATA BAsed. [08:31] moving to this IBM with SCSI disks will be sooo fast for us [08:32] (For a while anyways) [08:32] hehe [08:32] Probably, yeah. :) [08:32] comparativly. [08:33] Anyhow, you can't really go wrong with IBM. The old IBM slogan "no one gets fired for buying IBM" is still true. [08:36] infinity: is the ubuntu-server image yesterday final? [08:41] jsgotangco: I should hope so, since we're releasing today. [08:41] jsgotangco: (yes) [08:42] jsgotangco: Why, did you find a showstopper bug that I can't do anything about now? :) [08:42] (Except upload a fix to dapper-updates, of course) [08:44] infinity: im doing a final test run for x86/amd64 now [08:44] then I can start testing the sparc server iso next week.. [08:45] ajmitch: sparc's not final. [08:45] I know [08:45] ajmitch: Only i386/ppc/amd64 [08:45] Ahh, good. :) [08:45] by the time I get the server moved & get access to it, it probably will be :) [08:46] You have a T1000, right? [08:46] 2x T2000 [08:46] Oh, then you're fine anyway. [08:46] yeah [08:46] one of them already runs dapper [08:46] We're delaying specifically to fix the tg3-on-T1000 thing. :/ [08:46] installed with the beta release, iirc [08:47] anyway, back in a couple of hours for the release fun [08:48] Don't miss the party. [08:51] how far away is the release ? [08:55] A few hours.. [08:56] any idea how many.. a few = ? [08:58] "soon" [09:02] very soon [09:06] should I be waiting arround at work.. to set it to start download ?

[10:48] i'll go find it again :) [10:48] Out of curiosity, what's stopping you from upgrading to apache2? [10:48] apache2 can't track bytes_sent properly [10:49] Sure it can. [10:49] doco's say it can't [10:49] it just contains the full number [10:49] not partial [10:50] Even when using mod_logio?

[10:53] I'll have to try to reproduce it later. Must sleep now. [10:53] Well, sleep and/or have a release party. Undecided. [10:53] it only works on first install btw [10:54] uninstalling / purging etc won't get the bug back, so needs to be clean install [10:54] I'm good at building fresh chroots for debugging.

[09:04] kermitX_: If you don't need php4/php5, -worker is usually the better choice (not always, but usually) [09:04] PHP isn't threadsafe, however, so REQUIRES -prefork.

[09:12] schimmi: The question wasn't involved enough for an answer. :) [09:12] it is, more or less. only thing that I don't like with it, is that www-data still needs read access to every directory of a virtual host. maybe 600 for php files and 755 for directories works, still complicated [09:13] schimmi: suEXEC + php-cgi isn't ideal, but works.
