NephelauxeticDoes anyone here know how to setup Ubuntu 7.04 as an LDAP client?02:36
lionelNephelauxetic: you have a doc on help.ubuntu.com/community02:37
lionellet me find the precise URL02:37
lionelNephelauxetic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication02:38
lionelif you have any question, just ask :)02:38
lionelbut that's a good base02:38
Nephelauxeticthis I all had02:39
Nephelauxeticand chown to a LDAP user worked02:40
NephelauxeticI was also able to log in02:40
Nephelauxeticbut I always had to type twice the password of local users02:40
lionelOh...02:40
lioneldo you have the use_first_pass parameter in PAM ?02:40
Nephelauxetichmmm02:41
Nephelauxeticnope...02:41
NephelauxeticI'll go through this tutorial again02:42
Nephelauxeticbut can you tell me how I get automount working?02:42
Nephelauxeticactually this was the worse problem02:42
=== PanzerMKZ [i=Panzer@07-093.136.popsite.net] has joined #ubuntu-server
lionelNephelauxetic: did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutofsLDAP02:43
lionelI wrote it one year ago :)02:43
NephelauxeticYes I did indeed02:44
Nephelauxeticthe problem is02:44
Nephelauxeticthat the server is a Solaris one which somehow uses auto_master instead of auto.master02:45
NephelauxeticAnd that I have no clue of all this ...02:45
lionelNephelauxetic: not sure to understand you well. You can put whatever you want on the LDAP server? So you can follow the doc no? If it does not work on Solaris, it's a Solaris question, and that's not the best place for help:)02:47
NephelauxeticNo the problem is that I can't put things on the LDAP server02:48
NephelauxeticI'd like to use the information which is already there02:48
lioneloh, the same information that is used for automount on Solaris?02:49
Nephelauxeticthat's the puzzling thing... the solaris clients are using some automountInformation ... but Ubuntu does somehow not understand that02:50
lionelNephelauxetic: could you paste somewhere (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for example) what your automountInformation contains?02:52
Nephelauxeticsure give me a second02:53
Nephelauxetichttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25533/02:56

NephelauxeticI think I know understand how it works...03:01
Nephelauxeticit actually should not matter whether I use auto.master or auto_master etc. as long as it is consistent in the LDAP DB?03:02
NephelauxeticIt all depends on whether the Ubuntu client does the query via the object type or the ou03:02

KennyTheGeekHmm... i got a problem here... my situation: i got 2 routers in my house, both filled with devices in thier internal switches. one of them is owned by our isp, and is locked in a setting that blocks most traffic. i want to make my server replace that router, and take the role as dhcp and dns server.03:14
KennyTheGeekthe server is running ubuntu desktop feisty fawn... i was too lazy to download Ubuntu Server03:14
=== kupesoft [n=dave@red-gw.cs.toronto.edu] has joined #ubuntu-server
shawarmaKennyTheGeek: Desktop and Server are actually essentially the same thing.03:15
shawarmaKennyTheGeek: The difference is the selection of packages that are installed by default.03:15
KennyTheGeekokay... never tried the server one, thought that there was more of a difference that the missing gui03:15
shawarmaKennyTheGeek: (and the selection of packages that we put on the cd)03:15
KennyTheGeekokay then03:15
shawarmaKennyTheGeek: So in this case, it doesn't matter at all that you're running the desktop version.03:15
KennyTheGeekk then03:15
KennyTheGeekbut when i installed the dhcp server, and followed the guide on ubuntuguide.com, it failed to start (right now it got its ip from the stupid router)03:16
KennyTheGeekit just says * Starting dchp server [FAIL] 03:17
shawarmaOh, you did that already?03:18
KennyTheGeekeyah03:18
KennyTheGeek*yeah03:18
shawarmaPut you dhcpd.conf on pastebin then.03:18
KennyTheGeekpastebin gives errors aswell :S03:18
shawarmaUse another. :)03:18
KennyTheGeekQuery failure: Can't open file: 'recent.MYI'. (errno: 145)03:18
KennyTheGeeklock tables recent write03:18
shawarmahttp://rafb.net/paste/03:18
KennyTheGeekthat was the one i was about to use :P03:18
shawarmahttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/03:18
KennyTheGeekhttp://rafb.net/p/Yy3TYH35.html03:19
shawarmalooks sane.03:19
shawarmaIs there a /etc/defaults/dhcpd ?03:19
KennyTheGeeki would rather use the ip 10.60.61.0 and 255.0.0.0 as netmask03:19
KennyTheGeekyeah03:20
shawarmaShow me.03:20
KennyTheGeekmoment03:20
KennyTheGeekhttp://rafb.net/p/e4VydN78.html03:20
shawarmaYou have two NIC's in it?03:21
KennyTheGeekno03:22
KennyTheGeekonly eth003:22
shawarmawhich is connected to... what?03:22
KennyTheGeeki got other NIC's laying around, but is that neccesary?03:22
KennyTheGeeketh0 is connected to port 1 on the stupid router. the stupid router is connected to the ADSL modem, the better router is connected to the stupid router03:23
KennyTheGeekhmm...03:23
shawarmaIf you want your machine to act like a router, it sort of needs two interfaces. "sort of" because it's doable without, but it's a hassle.03:23
KennyTheGeekokay... so i should add another, and add it to interfaces in default/dchp3-server?03:24
KennyTheGeekthen eth0 => adsl, eth1 => switch?03:24
=== citybird [n=jones@fsz02.farner.ch] has joined #ubuntu-server
KennyTheGeekbut eth0 => switch => adsl & wireless router & devices is still possible? cause im kinda out of cables :P03:25
KennyTheGeekis your "project" gonna take more that a week/month (you prolly don't know, but it's worth a try to ask :P ) cause i'll possible just wait for that to get done then :P03:26
citybirdhi, anyone here know how to get vmware server to connect to a remote host running under ubuntu?03:26
KennyTheGeekto load the vmware image, or to what?03:27
mralphabetKennyTheGeek: the recommended solution is to use two ethernet card03:33
mralphabets03:33
mralphabetusing a single card *CAN* work, but as shawarma said, it is a pain in the ass03:34
mralphabetso dig up another ethernet card / cable and do it the right way03:34
KennyTheGeekyeah, i could guess that, but then i need to find long enough cables >_>03:34
mralphabetKennyTheGeek: move the server03:34
citybirdvmware server console keeps giving me bad username password when i try to connect to a remote host. I checked on the remote host and it is listening on port 902 for any vmware connections.03:35
KennyTheGeekthat standing on the floor, as close to the router as possible, and the router is hanging in a wire, so they can't get closer03:35
mralphabetcitybird: what user are you trying to use?03:35
citybirda user on the remote machine.03:36
mralphabetcitybird: root?03:36
citybirdmralphabet: should i try to give root a password? it is still without one.03:36
mralphabetcitybird: some other user?03:36
citybirdmralphabet: right. it's not the root user but another.03:36
=== Panzer_ [n=Porsche9@209.177.211.250] has joined #ubuntu-server
mralphabetcitybird: I am going to bet that the user doesn't have permissions03:37
mralphabetKennyTheGeek: sounds like you need a better managed wire closet ;)03:37
citybirdmralphabet: how do i add another qualified user? under /etc/inet.conf it says "902 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/vmware-authd vmware-authd"03:38
KennyTheGeekyou don't know how much crap/treasures we got in hour basement, so it's hard to handle wires, and make room for anything down there >_>03:38
citybirdmralphabet: it's the only user on the remote host. how do i give him permissions?03:38
KennyTheGeekcitybird: you use root? i beleive that isn't a very good security practise..03:39
mralphabetKennyTheGeek: no, he's *not* using root03:39
citybirdKennyTheGeek: no. 03:40
KennyTheGeekhow can it then be the only user? >_>03:40
KennyTheGeekroot is a user too03:40

citybirdKennyTheGeek: ok stop with the symantecs. the only user on the box with a password is the one that i am trying to connect with.03:41
KennyTheGeekok...03:41
citybirdi think i have to add my username to a list somewhere but i dont know where.03:42
mralphabetcitybird: you may need to add the user to the root group03:43
citybirdmralphabet: checking03:43
mralphabetIE edit /etc/passwd and put them in group 003:44
=== stratus [i=stratus@conference/debconf/x-b59f0c767c3e6ca5] has joined #ubuntu-server
mralphabetit is not something I have done before03:44
citybirdhey03:45
=== KennyTheGeek is outta here, gotta prepare for exam...
citybirdmralphabet: hey. if i change the group that is allowed would that work too?03:45
mralphabetcitybird: possibly03:48
citybirdok, under ubuntu there is a group in the /etc/group file called adm  if I change the line un /etc/inet.conf from root to adm what would i have to restart to get those permissions to update.03:49
mralphabetcitybird: you are at the limits of my experience, you may have more luck getting answers about vmware in #vmware03:51
citybirdargh, no i just looked at the syntax of the /etc/inetd.conf file. the root there is a username not a group name.03:51
=== mralphabet would just add the user to the root group, but that's just me
citybirdok where exactly? root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash03:54
citybirdmralphabet: or would that file be /etc/group03:57
=== malakhi [n=malakhi@dsl-066-037-092-135.citizip.com] has joined #ubuntu-server
mralphabetin /etc/group I believe you can do root:x:0:someuser03:59
citybirddid that. trying to log in now.04:01
