[12:42] <lns> Hey everyone!
[12:47] <lns> Can anyone give me some starter troubleshooting steps to see why a PXE booting client isn't getting past the TFTP boot line (after it acquires a DHCP addy)?
[12:47] <lns> I've verified TFTP server is working from the same workstation booted into windows
[12:48] <lns> (This is Ubuntu/muecow btw, not edubuntu)
[12:48] <lns> (used instructions at http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Edgy/HOWTO:_Install_MueKow_on_Ubuntu)
[01:01] <lns> am also using Windows NT4 DHCP server (no service pack I believe)...I actually think this is the problem...it's probably not passing the arguments correctly, as some web sites say the DHCP implementations are badly broken before SP3
[01:01] <lns> ugh
[01:01] <lns> I hate windows
[01:04] <cliebow_> lns:so you have options 17 66 and 67 set in windows?
[01:04] <lns> cliebow_, yep
[01:05] <lns> 017 = /opt/ltsp/i386
[01:05] <lns> 066 = ubuntultspserveripaddress
[01:05] <lns> 067 = ltsp/pxelinux.0
[01:05] <cliebow_> and netstat -anp|grep ":69" shows xinetd listening
[01:06] <lns> udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:69              0.0.0.0:*                          4930/inetd
[01:06] <cliebow_> so check that /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/pxelinux.o exists
[01:06] <lns> k
[01:06] <cliebow_> or is it one level down in i286
[01:06] <cliebow_> heh i386
[01:07] <lns> it is in i386
[01:07] <lns> ...hmmmmmm
[01:07] <lns> hehe
[01:07] <cliebow_> cool..so alter
[01:07] <lns> can i create a symlink?
[01:07] <cliebow_> err..probably
[01:07] <lns> maybe safer to alter dhcp conf?
[01:08] <lns> i'll try dhcp conf firsty
[01:08] <cliebow_> well//option 67
[01:08] <lns> first*
[01:08] <lns> yeah
[01:08] <cliebow_> the early versions were as you have it..later versions went to i486
[01:09] <cliebow_> cripes!
[01:09] <cliebow_> time to turn on the lights
[01:09] <lns> hahaha
[01:09] <lns> that's funny..in this server room the lights keep turning off every 30 seconds if i'm sitting down
[01:09] <cliebow_> figures 8~)
[01:09] <lns> =p
[01:10] <lns> hold on
[01:10] <lns> thx btw
[01:10] <cliebow_> hanging
[01:10] <cliebow_> btw: i m bootign "some ppc clients via windows..and all my netvistas
=== ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra]  has joined #edubuntu
[01:12] <lns> still not working.... "PXE-E32 PXE Open Timeout"
[01:12] <lns> after it obtains a valid IP via DHCP
[01:13] <lns> err... TFTP Open Timeout
[01:13] <lns> sorry
[01:13] <cliebow_> dang:btw:watch out for root-path..windows pads it with 000
[01:14] <lns> really
[01:14] <lns> is there a workaround?
[01:14] <lns> this is NT4 (no servicepack applied i believe)
[01:14] <lns> ugh
[01:14] <cliebow_> yeah..simlink /opt/ltsp/i386 to /opt/ltsdp/i386000
[01:15] <cliebow_> more or less
[01:15] <lns> reeeeaaaally...hahaha... ok hold please ;)
[01:15] <cliebow_> wont solve your problem
[01:15] <cliebow_> but..
[01:15] <lns> oh
[01:16] <cliebow_> guess you'll have to run wireshark on the  linux server see what is going on
[01:20] <lns> oh weird
[01:20] <lns> ok
[01:20] <lns> on another (similar but newer model) machine (compaq ipaq) it's actually giving me a "Only absolute filenames allowed" during tftp..so it *is* hitting the server at least
[01:20] <lns> gimme a sec
=== caravena [n=caravena@51-29-246-201.adsl.terra.cl]  has joined #edubuntu
[01:34] <lns> WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
[01:34] <lns> =)
[01:34] <lns> must be a bug in the older ipaq's PXE version
[01:34] <lns> cuz all the newer ones are booting right in!
=== caravena [n=caravena@51-29-246-201.adsl.terra.cl]  has joined #edubuntu
[01:35] <lns> *dance of joy*
[01:38] <cliebow_> lns:YEAHHH..i have a few caunkus pxe cards too..
[01:38] <cliebow_> so you get a login?
[01:40] <cliebow_> the root-path WAS padded?
[01:41] <lns> yep
[01:41] <lns> not sure if that was what did it or not (padding)
[01:42] <lns> the old clients are still hanging at tftp
[01:42] <lns> but the newer ones are booting up...although in 75Hz monitor mode instead of 60
[01:42] <lns> it auto adjusts to 60 if i ctl+alt+f1 then f7
[01:43] <lns> kinda weird
[01:43] <cliebow_> they are two different operations..first dhcp gets filename...second dhcvp gets filename
[01:44] <cliebow_> gets toor-path i mean
[01:44] <lns> root?
[01:44] <cliebow_> cripes1
[01:44] <lns> lol
[01:44] <lns> lights man lights! =p
[01:44] <cliebow_> gets root-path i mean
[01:44] <lns> yeah
[01:44] <lns> well the older ipaqs aren't getting past initial tftp
[01:44] <lns> they DO get a valid dhcp ip though
[01:45] <lns> i'm guessing i'll have to upgrade the BIOS
[01:45] <lns> in each of the old ones
[01:45] <lns> if possible...
[01:45] <cliebow_> well you are on a rol.l now..good luck
[01:45] <lns> thanks so much cliebow_ !!
[01:45] <lns> i love this irc room
[01:45] <lns> channel...argh
[01:45] <lns> haha
[01:47] <cliebow_> i hang on #ltsp as well..
[01:47] <cliebow_> my pleasure!
[01:47] <lns> i'm sure i will be, more and more
[01:47] <lns> hopefully this 'pilot' at an elementary school is gonna go district wide
[01:47] <lns> getting the clients to boot right now is a HUGE step forward
[01:47] <cliebow_> lots of the original devs are in #ltsp..i stand on shoulders of giants
[01:48] <cliebow_> i am also in schools..twelve..
[01:48] <lns> the IT administrator of the district is pitting Ubuntu LTSP against Windows Terminal services at another school and seeing how they compare
[01:48] <lns> wow nice!
[01:48] <lns> how's the admin/support for 12 schools?
[01:48] <lns> i'm only at one other place right now, an after-school place
[01:48] <cliebow_> ltsp will blow tws away as far as bandwidth is concerned\
[01:49] <lns> good.
[01:49] <cliebow_> i do most remotley with nx
[01:49] <lns> That's what I told him today too, NX would be great for remote access by kids from home
[01:49] <cliebow_> yes..that too..
[01:49] <lns> though i read somewhere online today that ltsp/ssh compares well in bandwidth with nx...?
[01:49] <cliebow_> i have not tried it in bulk so dont know how server looad will be affected
[01:50] <lns> cool
[01:50] <lns> ok off to check some stuff
[01:50] <cliebow_> lns: keep in back of your head..alternate dhcp for clients with etherboot
[01:51] <lns> have you seen lots of older clients with etherboot only?
[01:51] <cliebow_> only started using pxe last week
[01:51] <cliebow_> etherboot rocks
[01:51] <cliebow_> effortless double-bot
[01:52] <cliebow_> effortless double-boot
[01:52] <lns> really
[01:52] <lns> i only have exp. with pxe
[01:52] <lns> seems meukow/ltsp is made primarily for pxe
[01:52] <lns> havent tried etherboot
[01:53] <cliebow_> oh yeah..most all of my stuff is dunpster-diving stuff
[01:54] <cliebow_> with alternate dhcp..you can jump right in the middle of a windows network and never touch windows dhcp
[01:59] <lns> nice
[01:59] <lns> =)_
[02:02] <lns> alright i'm out for the day! thanks!!

[04:29] <a5benwillis> Hello?
[04:29] <a5benwillis> This is my first time here and I have a question about EduBuntu in an Education environment
[04:30] <cbx33> go for it a5benwillis
[04:30] <cbx33> blinky_ghost, what's up
[04:30] <a5benwillis> Has anyone been able to use Edubuntu with NCP authentication against a Netware Server using the pam_ncp_auth.so module?
[04:30] <cbx33> a5benwillis, not me
[04:31] <a5benwillis> I can authenticate my gdm sessions locally against NDS but the SSH side which is required for the thin client refuses to work.
[04:32] <blinky_ghost> cbx3, bootsplash doesn't work with ltsp clients
[04:33] <a5benwillis> I've searched the web for weeks but can find nor info on this with Edubuntu. It seems to work well with other LTSP systems though.
[04:34] <a5benwillis> I guess that  Edubuntu is the only one to use ecryped/authenticates ssh sessions for thin clients.
[04:39] <a5benwillis> Since I am new here. What time is typically the busiest here? Should I ask my question again later in the day?

[04:45] <blinky_ghost> hi can anybody tell me how do i get usplash working with ltsp clients?
[04:46] <sbalneav> a5benwillis: Hmm, maybe something with the pam stuff for ssh, let me look.
[04:46] <sbalneav> blinky_ghost: um, I think you can just:
[04:46] <sbalneav> chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
[04:46] <sbalneav> mount -t proc proc /proc
[04:47] <sbalneav> apt-get install edubuntu-artwork-usplash
[04:47] <sbalneav> then exit
[04:47] <sbalneav> and ltsp-update-kernels
[04:47] <blinky_ghost> ok, i'm gonna try
[04:47] <blinky_ghost> thanks
[04:51] <a5benwillis> sbalneav: Thanks, would you like to know what Ive tried with the pam.d/ssh file?
[04:51] <blinky_ghost> sbalneav, it's saying now that i'm out of range. i've changed the default to vga=791 and nothing
[04:52] <a5benwillis> sbalneav: I've placed this lineat the top of pam.d/ssh; "auth    sufficient      /lib/security/pam_ncp_auth.so -d -a -u10000,50000,f,c ndsserver=10.10.50.1:a5do.adm.acsd5 -a -L -zATX -A
[04:52] <a5benwillis> "
[04:53] <blinky_ghost> sbalneav, now it's working with vga=788 :)
[04:53] <blinky_ghost> thanks
[04:53] <sbalneav> np
[04:53] <a5benwillis> When attempting to SSH I get a password prompt, which fails. I then look in the /var/log/auth.log fileand I see where authentication was attempted but fails on the password.
[04:53] <sbalneav> a5benwillis: never actually used the ncp authentication.  Can you just ssh into the box as a user?
[04:53] <sbalneav> i.e. ssh localhost?
[04:54] <a5benwillis> yes, local user authentication works fine.
[04:54] <a5benwillis> I can even ssh in remotly as a local user
[04:54] <sbalneav> but if you ssh in as a ncp user it fails.
[04:55] <a5benwillis> But, with NCPand remote authentication. The pam_ncp_auth.so file authenticates and creates the user on the server at the same time.
[04:55] <a5benwillis> yes
[04:55] <a5benwillis> This authentication and account creation works fine with a local x session login.
[04:56] <a5benwillis> But with Edubunutu's ssh'd xsession I cant log in to a thin client obviously.
[04:57] <a5benwillis> Because the initial ssh connection fails first.
[04:57] <a5benwillis> .
[04:58] <a5benwillis> I realize that this isnt a simple problem. I havebeen unable to find help anywhere. I had hoped that another engineer in the education field would be in there at some point.
[04:59] <sbalneav> Well, I'm familiar with LDAP authentication, but I've never used the ncp auth module.  Does the module have a debug option that you can crank up debugging, and see what it thinks it's doing?  I know the ldap auth module has one.
[04:59] <sbalneav> Barring that, tcpdump's always an option.
[04:59] <a5benwillis> yes, I use the -d option and it logs to /var/log/auth.log
[04:59] <sbalneav> What does it say in there?
[05:00] <sbalneav> other than "failed"
[05:01] <a5benwillis> gonna try to paste

[05:14] <a5benwillis> sbalneav: Thanks for trying, Im gonna camp out here today and see how many people I can ask :-)
[05:15] <sbalneav> the ruser= line is interesting
[05:15] <sbalneav> sorry, got called away
[05:15] <sbalneav> I'd expect the ruser= to be the user attempting to auth.
[05:16] <a5benwillis> no problem, thanks again for trying
[05:16] <sbalneav> the fact that it's empty seems wierd.
[05:16] <a5benwillis> I think I can explain that
[05:17] <a5benwillis> the first authentication attempt is madevia pam_unix. The account doesn not exist so it can;t retrieve the attributes.
[05:17] <a5benwillis> the second (stacked) authentication attempt happens with pam_ncp_auth
[05:19] <a5benwillis> .
[05:19] <a5benwillis> theubuntu chan is to busy to even ask a serious questionin....
[05:22] <sbalneav> Hmm
[05:24] <sbalneav> a5benwillis: Maybe you need to append a "try_first_pass" onto the ncp module.
[05:24] <sbalneav> just about any pam module should support that.
[05:24] <a5benwillis> i'll try it
[05:24] <a5benwillis> brb
[05:26] <a5benwillis> isnt it use_first_pass
[05:26] <a5benwillis> its ignored by this module.
[05:26] <a5benwillis> per docs
[05:27] <sbalneav> Well, there's try_ and use_
[05:27] <a5benwillis> does it go after the module on the auth line?

[10:39] <cbx33> a5benwillis, ajmitch or ogra maybe able to help you
[10:39] <a5benwillis> Can anyone point me towards someone with experience in this area? Specifically authenticatino with Novell Netware
[10:39] <cbx33> but ogra isn't here right now
[10:39] <a5benwillis> cbx33: Hello again, tired of hearing from me yet? :-)
[10:39] <cbx33> hehe
[10:39] <cbx33> never ;)
[10:39] <cbx33> trying to help you
[10:39] <cbx33> but as I know NOTHING about it
[10:39] <cbx33> I'm buck passing
[10:40] <a5benwillis> I know this has to be able to be done. Netware is still used heavily in education and Im sure that theres a need for this
[10:40] <a5benwillis> I have about 6000 workstations, all of which log into Netware NDS.
[10:41] <cbx33> wow
[10:41] <a5benwillis> Plus 16k users that I need to authenticate when loggin into this clients
[10:41] <cbx33> i can see why you're persistent in asking this quewastion now ;)
[10:42] <a5benwillis> Yeah, I've been working on this for a few weeks. I cant find any help on this online. Only in general LTSP software. Not for Edubuntu
[10:42] <cbx33> well Edubuntu uses general LTSP
[10:42] <a5benwillis> I guess Edubuntu's the only one that uses the SSH session back to the LTSP server.
=== edistar [n=edwinloc@ip503ddd09.speed.planet.nl]  has left #edubuntu [] 
[10:42] <cbx33> i thought that's how LTSP working in general
[10:43] <a5benwillis> I can get the authentication to work fine at the servers login but not the SSH sessions from the thin clients.
[10:43] <a5benwillis> maybe...
[10:43] <cbx33> well
[10:43] <a5benwillis> I have seen several how-tos for this but none mention the SSH issue
[10:43] <cbx33> the ssh.....shouoldn't need to authenticate against anything else other than the edubuntu server
[10:43] <a5benwillis> right.
[10:43] <a5benwillis> .
[10:43] <cbx33> hey guys
[10:43] <a5benwillis> But since the logging in user doesnt exist on the server it cant authenticate.
[10:43] <cbx33> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuArtwork/Palette
[10:44] <cbx33> the ssh authentication should be transparent
[10:44] <cbx33> practically
[10:44] <a5benwillis> THAT is awesome~
[10:44] <a5benwillis> I have to get this pilot off of the ground so my student can see artwork like that.
[10:45] <cbx33> my wife did those ;)
[10:45] <a5benwillis> doesnt the SSH session use the credentials of the user loggin in?
[10:47] <cbx33> i don't think so... sbalneav ?
[10:47] <ajmitch> cbx33: hm, what am I supposed to be able to help with?
[10:47] <cbx33> hehe network authentication
[10:48] <ajmitch> I see it's netware
[10:48] <ajmitch> which I haven't had experience with
[10:48] <a5benwillis> ok, maybe its more simple then
[10:48] <a5benwillis> cause I can get the authentication to work with GDM
[10:49] <a5benwillis> can anyone confirm how the SSH session from the thin client works?
[10:49] <a5benwillis> .
[10:49] <a5benwillis> also, when the login box is displayed on the thin client. Where is the authentication for that controlled?
[10:49] <a5benwillis> .
[10:49] <a5benwillis> .
[10:49] <a5benwillis> so amny questions :-D
=== ajmitch wishes he know the edubuntu/ltsp mix better
[10:51] <a5benwillis> any links to documentation on the process?
[10:52] <a5benwillis> well, I'll hang out here for a bit. If any other gurus pop in please let me know!!!
[10:53] <a5benwillis> To bad developers don't visit these chans
