wintermu1eanyone know much about routing in linux?06:13
foowintermu1e: Just ask ...06:13
wintermu1eok, anyone know how to have linux dynamically determine which interface to send out packets on for a box with multiple nics all on the same subnet, but where some of the nics may not be plugged in?06:15
wintermu1ebut the non-plugged in nics could be up and configured06:15
wintermu1eor where the place to look for an answer to this might be06:16
lamontwintermu1e: sounds like a bonding question06:19
lamontor see the kernel docs on multiple routing tables06:19
wintermu1elamont: thanks, hadn't occured to me that bonding might work06:21
lamontwintermu1e: traditionally, you get one NIC per subnet, and the choice of which interface to send packets out is based purely upon destination IP06:22
wintermu1elamont: yeah, and it seems that the normal routing doesn't support anything other than that model (you can have two interfaces on the same subnet, but the packet always goes out on the same interface)06:23
lamontas it should. :-06:26
lamont_06:26
lamont:-)06:26
lamontdamn keyboard06:26
lamontthe advanced routing tables let you add more things to the selection criteria06:27
ScottKBTW, in case any one is interested I'm working on merging dkim-milter 1.2 from Debian with Ubuntu specific stuff (like /var/run is a tempfs).06:29
ScottKIt's also late here and so I'll finish tomorrow.  Good night.06:29
wintermu1elamont: where is the advanced routing doc?06:32
lamonthttp://lartc.org/ looks promising06:33

ScottKsoren: Are you around?02:14
dendrobatesScottK: soren is out, can I help?02:15
ScottKOn Bug #105225, my suggestion would be that if your testing indicates the fix does not harm, upload it to dapper-proposed and let the reporter install/test it from there.02:15
ubotuLaunchpad bug 105225 in mysql-dfsg-5.0 "'flush tables with read lock' causes mysql server to deadlock" [Undecided,Fix released]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/10522502:15

ScottKNo rush.02:15
dendrobatesHe should be back in a couple hours.  Also mathiaz does a lot of work with mysql bugs.02:16
ScottKdendrobates: It at least slightly interesting that without security permissions I can tell you were trying to look up a security issue in linux-source-2.6.1502:17
ScottKThat strikes me as a slight, but unnecessary information leak.02:17
dendrobatesScottK: I think that is alright, it's the comments that are private.  From a support customer.  Can you see those?02:18
ScottKNo, just the package that the bug is in from the LP url that redirects to.02:18
ScottKAh.02:18
ScottKI think it would be slightly better to do the permissions check before executing the redirect.02:19
ScottKBut I'm paranoid.02:19
dendrobatescreate a bug againstr launchpad, and see what they say, I am inclined to agree with you, but I am paranoid as well.  :)02:21
ScottKI'll do that.02:27
=== eikke [n=nicolast@surfvtk.ugent.be] has joined #ubuntu-server
eikkeany reason libapache2-mod-security isn't in feisty?02:58
ScottKProbably because no one packaged it.03:02
ScottKI don't see that in any Ubuntu release.03:03
ScottKNevermind.  I take that back.03:03
ScottKIt was removed, I'm not sure way.  Generally they don't do that randomly.  At a guess from hints I see on Google, I'd expect a licensing issue.  Not sure.03:08
eikkeah, so should be possible to package it myself?03:08

sorenScottK: the thing is that the SRU policy also states that there must be some way to verify (by more than one person) that the bug has been fixed.05:58
ScottKOK.  That was all I had.05:58
ScottKRight.  05:58
sorenScottK: So I'll need some way to reproduce it anyway.05:58
ScottKWell then I guess ask the reporter for a simplified test case...05:58
sorenScottK: That's what I did, wasn't it?05:58
=== soren checks
=== ScottK thinks so
sorenI believe so.05:59
ScottKAlternatively, publish it in proposed, let the reporter test it.  Leave it there, and then the next time someone complains about the bug, say, "Here. try this."05:59
sorenFor now, the fix is actually in my PPA.05:59
ScottKIn the mean time, the reporter is happy.05:59

ScottKAre you a core-dev?06:00
sorenScottK: Nope.06:00

sorenScottK: Then I'm SOL. :) pitti is picky about these things.06:01
ScottKIf it were Universe, you'd go ahead and upload it and wait for the archive admin.06:01

[miles] afternoon guys06:08
[miles] anyone know if L7-Filtering is available with Ubuntu Server?06:09
soren[miles] : What sort of filtering, specifically?06:09
[miles] L706:09
[miles] http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net06:10
sorenAh, I though you just meant layer 7 in the generic sense.06:10
[miles] :)06:11
[miles] we could do with trying it out on some of our FW's06:12
[miles] which are either 6.06 or 7.0406:12
soren[miles] : I see no indication that we support that. Sorry.06:15
[miles] ok np06:15
[miles] I can compile the source and try it on new installation06:15
[miles] thanks anyway06:15
soren[miles] : You could file a bug about its absence?06:16
soren[miles] : Against linux-source-2.6.22 and iptables (just one bug, but against both of them)06:17
ScottKsoren: Wouldn't it be a needs-packaging bug?06:23
sorenScottK: I don't remember what the criteria are for that.06:24
[miles] would'nt class it as a bug anyway 06:24
[miles] personally06:24
sorenScottK: It involves a patch to the netfilter code in the kernel and a patch against iptables..06:24
soren[miles] : Wishlist bug, surely?06:24
[miles] well06:25
[miles] thats not 100% true06:25
[miles] about kernel patching06:25
[miles] there is two options06:25
[miles] kernel, as you say06:25
[miles] and user space06:26
[miles] which they say is the planned default method of filtering06:27
[miles] http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/README (Very bottom)06:29
[miles] Userspace version06:29
sorenAh, sorry. I didn't notice that.06:30
[miles] jeje np06:30
[miles] I hate reading websites too06:30
ScottK[miles] : Any experience or interest in doing Debian packaging?06:30
[miles] wow, we have a lot more nicks in here than ever, 6206:30
[miles] nice06:30
[miles] is Ubuntu Server becoming more popular or what06:30
[miles] :)06:30
[miles] ok, their dropping like flies06:31
[miles] :)06:31
=== VikJES [n=esauve@modemcable183.15-202-24.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-server
sorenAh, yes, the userspace version sounds like what we want.06:34
ScottKIf [miles]  is interested in packaging it, I'm sure someone over in #ubuntu-motu would be glad to help him do it.06:35
[miles] ScottK: I must read up on packaging actualyl06:35
[miles] my work load is immense atm tho :-|06:35
[miles] and in the evenings, it so hot out here, I can't really be bothered sitting at a keyboard 06:36
ScottKIf you are interested in deploying this package, it'll be easier for you to deploy it with your own Debian package even if it's not uploaded.06:36
ScottKSo it'll save you work.06:36
[miles] yeah I agree06:36
[miles] I know how to package RPM's06:37
[miles] cos I worked with SuSE for many years06:37
[miles] but not really .deb's06:37
[miles] I will get round to looking into it tho06:37
[miles] promise06:37
[miles] :)06:37
[miles] lionel: won't I :-)06:37
ScottKWell genericly the stuff in a spec file goes in a debian directory, but there's more to it.06:37
=== [miles] nudges lionel cos he's so god damn quiet
ScottKMaybe lionel will package it.06:37
[miles] ;-)06:38
[miles] http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2007/mfsa2007-18.html06:39
[miles] I have had sooooooo many crashes in FF, it's unreal06:39
[miles] never have I know so many, now that explains it06:39
[miles] right, im heading home06:40

ScottKI got dkim-filter working with Postfix.07:01
lamontawesome07:04
lamontany postfix changes needed?07:04
ScottKNo.07:04
ScottKThe dkim-filter package in Debian works.07:05
ScottKYou have to set some options to work with Postfix, but other than the normal stuff to config Postfix to work with a milter, no.07:05
lamontScottK: wietse was pretty proud of his sendmail developer's award07:07
ScottKRightfully so.07:07
lamontand lazily so, too.  implementing sendmail-milter support in postfix relieves him of doing milter-esque stuff to postfix07:08
lamontvery smart move07:08
ScottKWhy in the world would dkim-filter sign the user-agent header by defult?07:08
ScottKNow if he'd just add Mail From rewriting via the milter interface I'd be satisfied.07:08
ScottKKey point...  dkim-flter signs the received headers too, so you need to call the milter after the last time Postfix has recieved it or the signature fails.07:09
=== lamont diiscovers that dhcp3-client has a non-debconf input (re it's file moving) in gutsy, that dist-upgrading from dapper triggers. that's not love.
lamontI mention it here, since it's a server install I'm hitting it on... :0)07:16
ScottKlamont: That'll be something that needs to be dealt with for LTS to LTS+1 upgrades then.07:18
=== ScottK re-reads the milter readme.

=== YourMomsHero [n=cirish@74.202.196.195] has joined #ubuntu-server
ScottKThat or I messed up my key record....07:36
hansin321I just wanted to say that I love the keep it simple design aspects of Ubuntu Server, and how it installs a basic server and leaves the rest up to the user to decide what else they want to install/ports to open, etc.  I guess I was just looking to clarify if this design philosophy is something that Ubuntu Server will try to adhere to going forward.  I am hoping so, because it is a really cool install 'out of the box' compared to07:38
mralphabethansin321: yes07:47
hansin321mralphabet: Thanks.  I am glad to hear that, as I really like the approach Ubuntu Server has taken.08:02
sorenhansin321: That is likely going to keep being the default install, yes.08:02
sorenhansin321: Other options will be added, though-08:03
hansin321soren: Sure.  Kind of like the 'Install LAMP server now' scenario?  But for other things?08:03
sorensoren: Something like that, yes.08:03
sorenhansin321: ^^08:04
=== coNP [n=conp@unaffiliated/conp] has joined #ubuntu-server
ScottKWell I think I got the Ubuntu specific needs for dkim-milter/dkim-filter sorted out.  Just doing a Gutsy test build and then I'll upload it.08:22
hansin321Thanks all.  I enjoy 'listening' in on the chat traffic and getting a sense of where things are headed.08:24
ScottKlamont: The DKIM Milter is uploaded.  If you are interested, you can either ask pitti or Mithrandir to pretty please accept dkim-milter 1.2.0.dfsg-1ubuntu1 or just wait until after Tribe 3 releases.08:28
lamontwhat had to change from debian?08:30
lamontand after tribe3 is fast enough, I expect... 24 hours and all that08:30
BFTDOn a remote terminal, how do I enter a command and then close the terminal without killing that process/command I started in it?08:31
mralphabet&08:32
mralphabetI think08:32
BFTD?08:32
BFTDoh08:32
mralphabetsome command &08:32
BFTDso like "& <command>"?08:32
BFTDok08:32
mralphabetif you run bash that puts it into the background, though I don't know if the session close kills it08:33
mralphabetalternatively you could use screen08:33
BFTDI want to compile a kernel, which'll take about 5 hours on this system, but I need to do it over a slow internet connection08:33
ScottKlamont: Mostly I added a test for the PID dir and to add it if missing to the init (since var/run is a tempfs) and changed the default config from a Unix socket to TCP localhost port 8891 to it'll work with or without a chroot and no fiddling.08:33
ScottKlamont: Also I added info on Postfix integration into README.Debian.08:34
mralphabetBFTD: use screen08:34
lamontok.  so mostly stuff that  needs to be in a debian bug report.  cool08:34
mralphabet!screen08:34
ubotuscreen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen08:34
ScottKlamont: None of what I changes is actually wrong for Sendmail on Debian though.08:35
ScottKchanges/changed08:35
lamontScottK: true enough, but creating /var/run directories is just a good thing to do in the init.d script, regardlesws08:37
ScottKSo I should file a bug in BTS on that you think?08:38
lamontlooks like two severity: wishlist bugs for debian: one for pid dir, and one for localhost switch for chroot happiness08:39
ScottKThe localhost thing is already allowed for in the supplied config file, it's just not default.08:42
ScottKMaybe ask to have it switched to the default for broader compatibility.08:43
BFTDhrm, I have ftpd-server installed, how do I ftpd into my server though!!08:50
