gejrwhat should i search up?09:37
ivoksmkdir ~/public_html09:57
ivoksand add your page in it09:57
ivoksthere is nothing you should do except that09:57
gejri already have my documentroot at /var/www09:58
gejrand it would've been nicer to have something like ~/username/public_html09:59
shawarmaUm.. What? :)10:03
gejryea i know..i'm useless10:04
shawarmafor user foo, you want to use /home/foo/foo/public_html ?10:04
gejroh yea...my mistake10:04
gejr/home/foo/public_html of course10:04
shawarmaThat's the default already.10:04
gejri managed now10:05
shawarmaah, ok. :)10:05
gejri had to enable the userdir module10:05
gejrnow www.server.com/~user/ works fine10:05

shawarmaIf it does in /var/ww then probably.10:05
shawarmanecrite: hello10:05
necritethere is any wat to limit the bandwith to one rsync over ssh?10:06
gejryea it worked. nice.10:06
shawarmanecrite: --bwlimit=2510:06
gejrNow..how can i setup an alias so that www.server.com/~user/ could just become www.server.com/user/ ? is it possible?10:06
shawarmanecrite: limits it to 25 kbytes/sec.10:06
necritesure? OMG too easy ^^10:06
shawarmagejr: Hmm..10:08
shawarmagejr: The quick'n'dirty way would be to create symlinks from the webroot to the user's public_html dir, but that doesn't scale very well.10:09
gejrhehe..that would probably show up as ~user anyway10:11
gejrbut..yea, decent suggestion10:11
shawarmaUm.. no.10:11
shawarmaWell, yes, *also*.10:11
gejrit would just redirect /user/ to /~user/ wouldn't it? hence the url in the address bar would probably change10:12
shawarmaIf you webroot is /var/www/company.com, you can make a symlink /var/www/company.com/foo pointing to /home/foo/public_html.10:12
shawarmathat would expose that directory both as company.com/~foo and company.com/foo10:12
shawarmagejr: No, symlinks dont' cause redirects.10:12
gejrand it wouldn't behave like i just described? Then it would probably be perfect..:)10:12

r00tintheb0xI believe it is shawarma 04:40
shawarmar00tintheb0x: Possibly. It'd have to involve some serious tweaking though.04:41
shawarmar00tintheb0x: NIS provides a means for distributing the password files (well, not the files as such, but you get the idea).. It doesn't actually do the authentication itself, so I can't really see how it'd pass on the authentication stuff to anything else..04:42
r00tintheb0xi know... it binds to the Windows Domain controller or the LDAP server.04:45
r00tintheb0xshawarma, http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html04:46
shawarmar00tintheb0x: Just taking a quick peek at that page seems to only compare winbind to NIS, not say anything about them working together in the way you suggest.04:50
r00tintheb0xhmm04:51
r00tintheb0xshawarma, this is a better example: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/39504:52
shawarmar00tintheb0x: How is that better?04:54
shawarmar00tintheb0x: the only place it mentions NIS is in parentheses saying that what it's doing is unlike NIS/NIS+.04:54
shawarmar00tintheb0x: I think you need to restate your problem/question.04:54
shawarmar00tintheb0x: In its current form, I suspect it cannot be answered.04:54
shawarmar00tintheb0x: Especially, if you find that any of the above links are a stab at an answer for your question, you have not conveyed said question very well here. :)04:55
r00tintheb0xokay.04:56
r00tintheb0xThanks!04:56
shawarmar00tintheb0x: the way I understand your question: You want a NIS server to do certain things so that its NIS clients somehow authenticate against a windows AD.04:56
shawarmar00tintheb0x: If that is indeed your question, my answer remains "I don't think that's possible".04:57
shawarmar00tintheb0x: If you kick NIS out the window and replace it with winbind, that's an entirely different issue, problem and question.04:57
shawarmar00tintheb0x: Interestingly, a question that is in fact answered by the two links you posted above.04:58
shawarmar00tintheb0x: (or so it would seem. I didn't look that closely)04:58

shawarmar00tintheb0x: I'm sorry, I've got to run now. I can help you again on monday, if you haven't sorted it out yet by then.06:05
ivoksshawarma: did you look at mysql root password? :)06:07
shawarmaivoks: Yes, i did. I have to disagree about setting a random password.06:10
shawarmaivoks: It's a bad idea, I think.06:10
ivoksi agree it isn't great, but is better than empty pass06:11
shawarmaivoks: The server is useless if you don't know the password, so the user friendly choice is definitely *not* to stow it away somewhere in a file the user has to find by himself.06:11
ivoksuser doesn't have to find it06:11
ivokshe only has to know how to set it up06:11
shawarmaThe kind of user inclined to just hit return (thus skipping the password setting) is the exact same kind of user that is inclined to not be able to find said password afterwords if it's only to be found in a file somewhere.06:12
ivokswe can say that mysql is unusable untill password is set06:12
shawarmaI vote that whatever happens during installation, the mysql server should be usable afterwards.06:12
shawarmaIf that involves asking the user over and over again for a password or having an empty password, so be it.06:13
shawarmaThat said, there should be an easier way to reset the password.06:13
ivoksthat's breaking ubuntu policy06:13
shawarmaI know.06:13
ivoks /etc/init.d/mysqld reset_password - this is very easy to do06:13
shawarmaBut forcing the user to dig out a password from an obscure file is worse.06:13
shawarmaivoks: If you know about it.06:14
ivoksno... user will never do that06:14
shawarmayes.06:14
ivokslike this:06:14
ivokscheck out /etc/mysql/debian.cnf06:14
shawarmaI'm familiar with it.06:14
ivoksjust replace debian-sys-maint with root06:14
ivoksand you get mysql with root pass06:14
ivokswhich can be changed with single command06:14
ivoksmysqladmin --config-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf password 'newpassword'06:15
ivoksbleh... --defaults-file06:15
ivoksmysql is secured; there is root pass06:15
shawarmaRight.06:15
ivoksand it is easy to change it06:15
shawarmaI'll toss in a few comments (and do something about it) on Monday.06:16
shawarmaWe can discuss it then. Cool?06:16
