[12:24] <N6REJ> hello, I'm wondering if you could give me some guidance.  I have a Kubuntu server that is for LAMP , quasar and postgres.  My wife also uses it for her desktop machine ( yeah I know bad boy, but her machine died ), anyway, we access it currently from her KDE gui, my KDE machine, and an XP machine.  Most of the time we only use the server for our intranet but sometimes we want certain people to be able to reach quasar from the outside.
[12:24] <N6REJ>  I have had issues with the servername causing strange behavior.  Like when it was named "ubuntu" sometimes I would get taken to a porn site because ubuntu.iowatelecom.net ( iowatlecom.net is my isp ) doesn't resolve.   My question is exactly how should I configure the server/servername so that it is accessible from all local machines, and still not confuse the browsers?
[12:33] <somerville32> I don't understand what ubuntu.iowatelcom.net has to do with the hostname
[12:33] <somerville32> Why would it matter if the subdoamin of your ISP resolves?
[12:33] <somerville32> You should have a host lists which has the name of the machine which it looks at before querying the DNS server

[04:36] <drarem> who is 10.96.240.1  ?
[07:07] <shwag> how do I change the permissions that my log files are created with ?
[07:08] <shwag> I can do a  chmod +r /var/log/*    , but then when new log files are rotated in, they dont have the +r.
[09:05] <drarem> how secure would an apache2 / mysql ubuntu server be?  would a rootkit be installable remotely?  how paranoid do i have to be?
