[01:07] <eikke> hija
[01:08] <eikke> I just set up pam_ldap/nss_ldap on some host and configured it. I am able to login, but I got a somewhat strange issue
[01:08] <eikke> when logging in through SSH, I get /bin/sh as shell. When logging in on a console, I get /bin/bash, as I'd want it
[01:08] <jbrouhard> same user ?
[01:08] <eikke> in ldap I got loginShell set to /bin/bash, and getent passwd also shows the correct shell
[01:09] <eikke> yes
[01:09] <eikke> I'm quite puzzled, as I only touched the pam.d/common-* files
[01:09] <jbrouhard> odd
[01:09] <jbrouhard> well, console is different
[01:10] <jbrouhard> Uhm.
[01:10] <jbrouhard> I'm not sure, but aren't login profiles stored in a config file in the users home directory ?
[01:11] <eikke> I just copied over /etc/skel to the homedir, shouldnt make a difference... using "login" sh isnt started at all, your default login shell as defined by nss should be spawned
[01:12] <eikke> urgh
[01:12] <eikke> now it works
[01:12] <eikke> dont tell me this is some NSCD thingy
[01:15] <jbrouhard> Dunno, man
[01:16] <eikke> its the only thing I can think of as I didnt change anything else. Sorry for bothering
[01:17] <eikke> right, now up to configuring a https based svn server with ldap authentication
[05:35] <vas> alright
[05:36] <vas> I am configuring samba on my ubuntu server, I followed the tutorial in the Kubuntu Server Documentation, where I added realm = and KDS =..... but I still cannot find my domain from other computers
[05:37] <vas> my second line of my hosts file is 192.168.1.204 server1.example.com server1 ... is this sufficient to allow my lan to see my server as a server as a samba server? do I need more config? I have found a couple things on this topic but they vary in this area...
[05:41] <vas> that or when I add a user (smbpasswd -L -a user1) ... then I typer her password twice it says
[05:42] <vas> failed to modify password entry for user1
[11:47] <Tron04> hello! Why are my IDE Drives detected as /dev/sd* when I would expect them to be /dev/hd*? What about DMA then?
[11:47] <Tron04> Is this something ubuntu specific?
[11:58] <Kamping_Kaiser> Tron04, SCSI emulation is turned on for all drives
[11:58] <Kamping_Kaiser> which apparently has benfits, but i dont know them
[11:58] <Burgundavia> Tron04: it is part of the libata stuff upstream
[12:15] <fschoep> Sorry to chime in with a question, but a few hours ago my 6.06.1 i386 server almost instantly ran out of memory and swap. Could this have anything to do with the recent iptables / kernel vulnerabilities? I'm pretty sure there was no one on that machine with local privileges and only port 80 (apache2) and 110 (dovecot) are accessible from the outside.
[12:17] <Burgundavia> if you are concerned, take the computer offline and poke at it
[12:17] <Kamping_Kaiser> fschoep, do you have any logs which could help you work out what happened?
[12:18] <fschoep> That's what I did for about an hour, but except for some oomkiller notices in /var/log/messages there is not much to be found it seems.
[12:18] <fschoep> I can try to search for things interactively?
[12:18] <fschoep> Most system binaries are all timestamped correctly and no odd login attempts show up.
[12:20] <fschoep> If the kernel vulnerabilities sound far-fetched, I can indeed try to look elsewhere.
[12:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> fschoep, check with rkhunter+similar tools. tbh though, if a systems been compromised, the only (sane) way to check it is from a live cd
[12:21] <fschoep> Kamping_Kaiser: indeed, I'm keeping the old one up just to bridge to a reinstall.
[12:23] <fschoep> About four years ago I had something similar, which turned out to be a hacked phpBB installation, same symptoms with oomkiller showing up four or five times in the logs in quick succession.
[12:38] <fschoep> Well, I'll be on investigating this some more during the day while I prepare a stand-in machine. Thanks for the advice.
[05:57] <`6og> can anyone suggest a good channel to hang out in at 1.30 am?
[05:57] <`6og> *every* one of my usual chanels is dead :(
[05:58] <`6og> resending, because i asume it didnt get through last time :|
[06:00] <mralphabet> it's 1:30 am somewhere all the time
[06:01] <Nafallo> #ubuntu seems lively, no?
[06:53] <Bambi_BOFH> anyone here used bind before? i want to setup a dns server for the domain i just got. well, someththing like that.
[06:56] <ScottK> Bambi_BOFH: Yes.  You can do that with BIND.  BIND is a complex piece of software with lots of knobs, so be prepared to spend time with the documentation and consider buying a book.
[06:57] <Bambi_BOFH> ScottK, since i'm heading overease in about 27 hours, would doco downloadable off the net be enough to use aes reading material ?
[06:57] <Bambi_BOFH> (sorry about spelling, that time of night etc)
[06:58] <Nafallo> bind9-doc includes ARM
[06:58] <ScottK> Bambi_BOFH: Knowing nothing about your background, it's hard to say.
[06:58] <Bambi_BOFH> (i'm only leaning to bind because i'm told its The Right Thing, btw)
[06:58] <Nafallo> well... it is ;-)
[06:58] <ScottK> But it's certainly a good place to start.
[06:59] <ScottK> Maybe stop at a good bookstore and pick up a copy of "DNS and BIND" from O'reilly too if you really want to be covered.
[06:59] <Kamping_kaiser> that might hav eto wait until i get back
[07:23] <ivoks> every time i thing i understand bind, it surprises me all over again :)
[07:23] <ivoks> s/thing/think/
[07:53] <vas> hey
[07:53] <Kamping_kaiser> hm ivoks is gone
[07:53] <Kamping_kaiser> vas, hi mate
[07:54] <vas> hey I have set up Samba onmy server, but when i try to access the share with my mac laptop, I see it in it's rightful Workgroup, and the name comes up correct, but when I click the share to connect it tells me the Alias is gone and I can not find it
[07:56] <Kamping_kaiser> hm. i dont know about macs
[08:19] <Kamping_kaiser> is there a way t test if an ntp server is active?
[08:19] <Kamping_kaiser> half my NTP servers have goen awol (according to ntpq -p ) i'm hoping to test to see if each server is tehre just not in my ntp stuff
[08:19] <Kamping_kaiser> s/not working with my ntp stuff/
[08:30] <jbrouhard> not sure if there is a way to test for the NTP itself to be active.. have you logged into the servers and checked to see if NTPD is running ?
[08:31] <Kamping_kaiser> i dont have logins to the servers, tehy are simply upstreams of my server, which i know have dns entries ( or did when i wrote the config), i cant even guarantee that tehy ahve dns open
[08:31] <Kamping_kaiser> er, ntp open
[08:31] <jbrouhard> hmm
[08:31] <jbrouhard> Try using their IPs instead
[08:31] <ScottK> Change you ntp server you're looking for to pool.ntp.org and if it gets better it's your upstream.
[08:32] <Kamping_kaiser> shall i pastebin my ntp config + ntpq -p ? would it help understanding etc?
[08:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30805/
[08:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> theres the paste, incase it helps
[08:45] <jbrouhard> I don't know
[08:45] <jbrouhard> can you use pool.ntp.org ?
[08:46] <Kamping_Kaiser> +bbs.csie.ncyu.e 220.130.158.54   3 u   61   64  377  352.635  -55.918  22.598
[08:46] <Kamping_Kaiser> that line is pool.ntp.org
[08:46] <Kamping_Kaiser> (whatever that is, its the randomly selected server)
[08:46] <jbrouhard> Which means your client is going out to connect
[08:47] <jbrouhard> you only have 5 NTP servers being reached, and all your internals aren't working, is that what's being said ?
[08:49] <Kamping_Kaiser> 5 of my 9 external servers are reached are reached. 1 of my 3 locals are reached (because only 1 is currently configured)
[08:49] <Kamping_Kaiser> its the 4 externasl that are currently not reached that cause me to worry
[08:49] <Kamping_Kaiser> 2 of them (ntp1,ntp2.adelaide.edu.au) are brand new (braught online in the last 24 hours), and could have problems, the others i dont know about
[08:51] <jbrouhard> dunno what to say man
[08:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> :\ neitehr. thats what 4.20 am does to yo u:|
