[01:19] <screeb> Hi :)
[01:20] <screeb> mdz: does TaskSel provide any configuration UI?
[01:21] <screeb> It seams to be limited to an advanced package selector
[01:21] <screeb> (about your post on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=191858&page=9 )
[03:02] <thefish_> re
[03:03] <thefish> anyone know what management solutions exist for a full ubuntu shop? Something like Zenworks?
[03:03] <thefish> sorry to repeat, lost connection :)
[03:34] <spike> thefish: in short, no, there are bits and pieces that you can use, but nothing accessible through a single interface and correlated
[03:35] <thefish> spike: thanks, im interested in your project... what does it do? what are you making it with? etc?
[03:35] <spike> there are various things like ebox,cfengine/puppet,FAI)pfai)/systemimager one can use
[03:35] <spike> to install/deploy/monitor boxes (for the monitor part see ganglia,nagios,catci,munin)
[03:36] <spike> thefish: it does (will) for zenworks/RHN/HP Openview do
[03:36] <thefish> nice
[03:36] <thefish> what are you building it with?
[03:36] <spike> thefish: atm I'm focusing on box deployment (config and patches included) + monitoring (resources and so on)
[03:37] <thefish> farinuff
[03:37] <thefish> what are you doing the monitoring with?
[03:37] <spike> I'm not really iterested in service config panels as I can use an editor and then the real important part is distribution and versioning
[03:38] <spike> ie, cvs centralized repo + distribution policies done via cfengine/puppet
[03:39] <spike> thefish: well, I'm trying to not reinvent the wheel, even if ppl keep saying it'll be a mess... but hey, it's my time :)
[03:39] <thefish> true
[03:39] <thefish> ive been using zabbix for monitoring, its sweet
[03:39] <thefish> not as many plugins as nagios, but still very cool
[03:40] <spike> yep, I use that too
[03:40] <thefish> :)
[03:40] <spike> mon is nice too
[03:40] <spike> monit*
[03:40] <spike> easier than nagios for small installation, and work on the host so can do things like restarting ssh daemons and the like
[03:40] <spike> stuff that if it depends on connectivity (see nagios) it cant be done
[03:41] <thefish_> k
[03:42] <thefish_> what about updates etc?
[03:43] <spike> local repo where packages get updated from a golden server + script that dump answers and set them on clients before they install the new pkg, so it can be done unattendedly
[03:44] <thefish> kay
[03:44] <spike> I also wanted a Xen instance related to the panel so I could automagically do patch/upgrade testing there
[03:44] <thefish> ye nice plan
[03:45] <spike> anyway, gotta work, later
[06:10] <mdz> screeb: I'm not sure what you mean by a configuration UI.  it's an interface for installing sets of packages, and the sets are determined by the package database
[07:50] <trrr> i need help setting up a server
[07:58] <trrr> how do i chroot a user to their home dir when they login via ftp
[07:59] <ivoks> trrr: use vsftpd
[07:59] <ivoks> trrr: there is config option just for that
[08:00] <whaq> trrr, what kind of server
[08:42] <trrr> i cant do it with proftpd?
[08:44] <ivoks> trrr: i guess you can
[08:45] <ivoks> trrr: at least trough PAM
[08:50] <trrr> meh i think i got it
[08:51] <trrr> yeah

[10:01] <redondos> Hello
[10:02] <redondos> I was wondering how I can change the default locale system-wide.
[10:02] <spike> I was wondering, how is that a server question?
[10:03] <spike> redondos: dpkg-reconfigure locales
[10:03] <redondos> That never prompts me for the default locale.
[10:03] <spike> redondos: and I'll answer my own question too, it's not
[10:03] <redondos> http://pastebin.ca/84287
[10:03] <spike> redondos: you should use #ubuntu for such questions
[10:03] <spike> not -server
[10:03] <redondos> Oh, I just didn't want a "click here, point there" type of answer.
[10:26] <redondos> Ok, here comes a server question: can you recommend me web a administration package such as cpanel?
[10:29] <spike> redondos: ISPconfig, ebox, GPLhost
[10:29] <redondos> Thanks.
[10:29] <redondos> Which one do you prefer?
[10:29] <redondos> I'll probably test them all, but just wanting opinions.
[10:30] <spike> bah, hard to tell, there are reasons to like some and reasons to like others, it depends what you need... prob I'd pick up ISPconfig
[10:31] <spike> redondos: something else you could have googled out: http://wiki.debian.org/HostingControlPanels
[10:31] <spike> that's a comprehensive list, most complete available afaik
[10:32] <redondos> k, thanks.
