[04:48] <netrat> hello i'm installing ubuntu 7.04 server and i'd like for the boot partition to be RAID 1. is this possible with the installer?
[04:48] <sahafeez> yes
[04:48] <sahafeez> there are docs for it that i have read in the past
[04:48] <netrat> sahafeez: would you happen to have any links?
[04:49] <sahafeez> google.com
[04:49] <sahafeez> or ubuntu.org
[04:49] <netrat> sahafeez: okay i'll search away
[04:49] <netrat> thanks
[04:49] <sahafeez> Results 1 - 10 of about 232,000 for ubuntu install to raid1

[04:50] <netrat> sweet, going to try it now
[09:26] <ivoks> 'morning
[09:36] <gejr> I'm trying to add a user to my apache conf. I'd like something like http://myserver/~username/
[09:37] <gejr> what should i search up?
[09:57] <ivoks> mkdir ~/public_html
[09:57] <ivoks> and add your page in it
[09:57] <ivoks> there is nothing you should do except that
[09:58] <gejr> i already have my documentroot at /var/www
[09:59] <gejr> and it would've been nicer to have something like ~/username/public_html
[10:03] <shawarma> Um.. What? :)
[10:04] <gejr> yea i know..i'm useless
[10:04] <shawarma> for user foo, you want to use /home/foo/foo/public_html ?
[10:04] <gejr> oh yea...my mistake
[10:04] <gejr> /home/foo/public_html of course
[10:04] <shawarma> That's the default already.
[10:05] <gejr> i managed now
[10:05] <shawarma> ah, ok. :)
[10:05] <gejr> i had to enable the userdir module
[10:05] <gejr> now www.server.com/~user/ works fine
[10:05] <gejr> wonder if the php will work too
[10:05] <necrite> hi
[10:05] <shawarma> If it does in /var/ww then probably.
[10:05] <shawarma> necrite: hello
[10:06] <necrite> there is any wat to limit the bandwith to one rsync over ssh?
[10:06] <gejr> yea it worked. nice.
[10:06] <shawarma> necrite: --bwlimit=25
[10:06] <gejr> Now..how can i setup an alias so that www.server.com/~user/ could just become www.server.com/user/ ? is it possible?
[10:06] <shawarma> necrite: limits it to 25 kbytes/sec.
[10:06] <necrite> sure? OMG too easy ^^
[10:08] <shawarma> gejr: Hmm..
[10:09] <shawarma> gejr: 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.
[10:11] <gejr> hehe..that would probably show up as ~user anyway
[10:11] <gejr> but..yea, decent suggestion
[10:11] <shawarma> Um.. no.
[10:11] <shawarma> Well, yes, *also*.
[10:12] <gejr> it would just redirect /user/ to /~user/ wouldn't it? hence the url in the address bar would probably change
[10:12] <shawarma> If 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] <shawarma> that would expose that directory both as company.com/~foo and company.com/foo
[10:12] <shawarma> gejr: No, symlinks dont' cause redirects.
[10:12] <gejr> and it wouldn't behave like i just described? Then it would probably be perfect..:)
[10:12] <gejr> great
[01:02] <[miles] > weird, I've suddenly lost the ability to hit tab and auto complete commands in console
[01:02] <[miles] > :-\
[01:25] <r00tintheb0x> anyone awake yet?
[01:26] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: It's 13:26. What do you expect? :)
[01:26] <r00tintheb0x> ha, its ACTUALLY 6:26am.
[01:27] <shawarma> Not in the real world. :/
[01:28] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: Were you just checking up on us, or did you have a question? :)
[01:29] <r00tintheb0x> question... anyone have experience with NFS / NIS / SAMBA / WINBIND / Windows 2k3 AD?
[01:29] <shawarma> although a question, it's not a very good one. :)
[01:29] <shawarma> Assume "yes" and then ask the real question :)
[01:31] <r00tintheb0x> haha
[01:32] <r00tintheb0x> Ok, im trying to make a NIS/NFS/Samba server.. im trying to have NIS tied to the windows active directory.
[01:32] <r00tintheb0x> when i use the winbind tool wbinfo i can "wbinfo -u" from the NIS server and pull  back a group of users.
[01:32] <r00tintheb0x> NIS is working, as is NFS... but i cant connect to a samba share from a win client
[02:00] <J_P> hi all
[02:47] <mralphabet> r00tintheb0x_: I'm going to say that your samba user list doesn't match the AD user list and/or permissions on your shares aren't correct
[03:40] <aeon17x> Is it possible to install ubuntu server using the desktop Feisty CD? Or do I have to use the Ubuntu Server installer to have it all installed and configured correctly?
[03:43] <shawarma> aeon17x: The server install is just like a regular installation with much less packages installed and a different kernel. That's it. 
[03:49] <r00tintheb0x> Does anyone in here have any experience with Samba, Winbind, and Windows Active Directory and using it so that a NIS server can authenticate from the Windows AD server??
[04:01] <disposable> on feisty-server, i followed help.ubuntu.com and tried to set up apache2 with SSL. when i finally restarted apache, i got SSLOptions: Illegal option 'CompatEnvVars'. i googled around but no answers, just questions. any help? my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default is at http://pastebin.ca/539769
[04:03] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: Are you sure that's even possible?
[04:03] <shawarma> disposable: Have you tried removing it?
[04:05] <disposable> shawarma, i'm not sure what it'd do. i dont want to break compatibility with browsers
[04:06] <shawarma> disposable: Just remove it. It should be safe.
[04:08] <disposable> shawarma, it works, i'm going to try it from all possible browsers now. tnx
[04:08] <shawarma> disposable: np
[04:40] <r00tintheb0x> I believe it is shawarma 
[04:41] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: Possibly. It'd have to involve some serious tweaking though.
[04:42] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: 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..
[04:45] <r00tintheb0x> i know... it binds to the Windows Domain controller or the LDAP server.
[04:46] <r00tintheb0x> shawarma, http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html
[04:50] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: 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.
[04:51] <r00tintheb0x> hmm
[04:52] <r00tintheb0x> shawarma, this is a better example: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/395
[04:54] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: How is that better?
[04:54] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: the only place it mentions NIS is in parentheses saying that what it's doing is unlike NIS/NIS+.
[04:54] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: I think you need to restate your problem/question.
[04:54] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: In its current form, I suspect it cannot be answered.
[04:55] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: 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. :)
[04:56] <r00tintheb0x> okay.
[04:56] <r00tintheb0x> Thanks!
[04:56] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: 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.
[04:57] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: If that is indeed your question, my answer remains "I don't think that's possible".
[04:57] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: If you kick NIS out the window and replace it with winbind, that's an entirely different issue, problem and question.
[04:58] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: Interestingly, a question that is in fact answered by the two links you posted above.
[04:58] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: (or so it would seem. I didn't look that closely)
[04:59] <r00tintheb0x> windows ad/dc-------------------------->NIS server-------------------------------->NIS clients
[05:01] <r00tintheb0x> shawarma, the 1st paragraph of this http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/340 page explains exactly what i want to do.
[05:01] <r00tintheb0x> This article will show you how to install Samba 3.X on Debian Linux 3.1 (Sarge) and make it authenticate against a Windows server running Active Directory. 
[05:05] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: You will notice that said paragraph does not mention nis, but your drawing includes a NIS server. ?
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> OOOOH i see what you're saying
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> NIS & NFS are just on the same server.
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> Samba Winbind & AD are a seperate thing.
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> lol, sorry shawarma 
[05:50] <coNP> how can I make a 
[05:50] <coNP> Linux router that masquerades everything but forbids http
[05:50] <coNP> I want to use a proxy for all http traffic
[06:01] <ivoks> easy
[06:01] <ivoks> you can redirect http port
[06:01] <coNP> I guess it is only a --destination-port ! 80 in the appropriate line
[06:01] <ivoks> but that's not ultimate solution
[06:02] <ivoks> iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -m iprange -i [local interface]  -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
[06:05] <shawarma> r00tintheb0x: 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.
[06:07] <ivoks> shawarma: did you look at mysql root password? :)
[06:10] <shawarma> ivoks: Yes, i did. I have to disagree about setting a random password.
[06:10] <shawarma> ivoks: It's a bad idea, I think.
[06:11] <ivoks> i agree it isn't great, but is better than empty pass
[06:11] <shawarma> ivoks: 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] <ivoks> user doesn't have to find it
[06:11] <ivoks> he only has to know how to set it up
[06:12] <shawarma> The 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] <ivoks> we can say that mysql is unusable untill password is set
[06:12] <shawarma> I vote that whatever happens during installation, the mysql server should be usable afterwards.
[06:13] <shawarma> If that involves asking the user over and over again for a password or having an empty password, so be it.
[06:13] <shawarma> That said, there should be an easier way to reset the password.
[06:13] <ivoks> that's breaking ubuntu policy
[06:13] <shawarma> I know.
[06:13] <ivoks>  /etc/init.d/mysqld reset_password - this is very easy to do
[06:13] <shawarma> But forcing the user to dig out a password from an obscure file is worse.
[06:14] <shawarma> ivoks: If you know about it.
[06:14] <ivoks> no... user will never do that
[06:14] <shawarma> yes.
[06:14] <ivoks> like this:
[06:14] <ivoks> check out /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
[06:14] <shawarma> I'm familiar with it.
[06:14] <ivoks> just replace debian-sys-maint with root
[06:14] <ivoks> and you get mysql with root pass
[06:14] <ivoks> which can be changed with single command
[06:15] <ivoks> mysqladmin --config-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf password 'newpassword'
[06:15] <ivoks> bleh... --defaults-file
[06:15] <ivoks> mysql is secured; there is root pass
[06:15] <shawarma> Right.
[06:15] <ivoks> and it is easy to change it
[06:16] <shawarma> I'll toss in a few comments (and do something about it) on Monday.
[06:16] <shawarma> We can discuss it then. Cool?
[06:16] <ivoks> sure
[06:18] <shawarma> Cool. See you!
[06:19] <ivoks> bye
[07:48] <coNP> do someone have ubuntu icons for nagios?
