NETWizzAt least Group Policy is defined already12:11
NETWizzI don't know if Seamless RDP will work12:11
NETWizzI think fast user switching must be on12:11
mattwalstonI know it will prompt for credentials12:12
mattwalstonI am booting a vm to check12:12
mattwalstonNETWizz: it was not an issue for this client since he was just running qbes7 and all users have to have full control of company file to use it (horrible!) and the software handles its own login12:13
NETWizzyuckey12:13
NETWizzWell I am off to the gym12:14
NETWizzThanks for the help12:15
mattwalstonNETWizz: just tested, fast user switching is not needed, if you remove l/p info and execute, a full screen rdp to do interactive login starts, afterwards it works12:15
NETWizzl/p?12:15
NETWizzlogin password12:15
NETWizzOkay thanks a lot12:15
NETWizzI appreciate you helping me12:15

mralphabetmaccam912: is this a machine hosted at your house?12:16
maccam912yeah12:16
mralphabetmaccam912: Your ISP most likely has port 80 blocked on their side12:17
maccam912that is what I thought, but I have contacted them several times (them being Charter) and they have replied on all occasions that they are not blocking anything, and that any problems are my own fault12:17

mralphabetmaccam912: Charter blocks 80, their techs don't know their ass from a hole in the ground12:18
maccam912I s'pose not.12:18
maccam912how would I go about getting them to unblock it for me12:18
mralphabetmaccam912: they won't, you don't pay them enough for a residential account for you to host services at your house . .. pay them more money to go to a business / static ip account and they may unblock it12:19
maccam912or would there be a better ISP that doesn't block it?12:19
maccam912lol ok thanks12:19
mralphabetmaccam912: most ISP's block inbound connections to port 80, doesn't matter who you go through12:20
mralphabetmaccam912: you will need to do your own research in your area.12:20
maccam912right now I'm using dyndns.org to give people so they don't have to remember an IP address, but is there somewhere that will automatically forward traffic to port 80 to port 2010 before sending it to me and then take that and send it back to port 80 for the user?12:22
maccam912or is there no way of getting around the dyndns.org:201012:22
ScottKThey only block it, as a rule, for account that running a web server violates their terms of service.12:24
maccam912lol then I guess they really have no clue at charter, because I have also asked multiple times whether hosting my own personal website went against any rules and they all responded that I was in the clear12:25
maccam912well thanks for your help12:28
maccam912I'll probably talk to charter, see who is lying to me. Sounds like something fun to do on a sunday eh?12:28

jbrouhardHey all01:05
jbrouhardAnyone ever have a problem installing debian or ubuntu on a Dell PowerEdge 6450 ?01:05
dthackerwhat kind of problem?01:11
jbrouhardKeeps saying unable to copy from CD-ROM01:12
jbrouhardBoth the CDROM and CD are known-working01:12
dthackeryes......but.  I just went through this.  I'd try and replace the CD-ROM, if it's not too much trouble. 01:13
jbrouhardTried that already 01:13
dthackerI had one that would read intermittently01:13
dthackerAre you able to verify media from the opening menu?01:14
jbrouhardactually haven't tried that01:14
dthackerI'd give that a try.  I'd also try to re-burn the media at a lower speed or on a different burner.01:14
jbrouhardstill doesn't explain why WIndows 2003 Enterprise loads fine01:14
dthackerhehe. hate when that happens.  01:15
jbrouhardi have a $225, 200 pound paperweight as far as my business is concerned ;(01:16
jbrouhardwhioch bloody sucks01:16
jbrouhardmeh01:17
jbrouhardscrew this01:17
jbrouhardgonna blow the drives away, re-set the SCSI BIOS01:17
jbrouhardand.. uh..01:17
jbrouhardtake some of the memory out of it01:17
jbrouhardProbably end up e-baying the machine01:18
dthackerIt's probably worth a few tries with different media that you've run verification on01:19
jbrouhardi've done every CD i have here, dthacker01:20
jbrouhardall are known good in other systems01:20
jbrouhardjust not the PowerEdge, and I've tried other CD-ROMS in there01:20
dthackervery strange.  I'm afraid I don't have any good advice then. 01:21
jbrouharddthacker: if I had a converter for the CDROM drive i'd be all over it01:23
jbrouhardbut the bloody thing has a slimline CD-ROM drive01:23
dthackerargh. 01:23
jbrouhard*burns ubuntu-server ISO and will run verification on laptop01:30

jbrouhardAh01:45
jbrouhardTrade ya?  LOL01:45
jbrouhardOkay01:46
jbrouhardubuntu-server CDROM valid01:46
dthackerI do sympathize, because I think those slimlines are very prone to trouble01:46
jbrouhardlets see if it'll work01:46
jbrouhardokay01:51
jbrouharddthacker: Ubuntu6.06 CD known good (just ran a check on it)01:51
jbrouhardnow trying it i nthe PowerEdge01:51
jbrouhardwill run a CD check too01:51
jbrouhardit's possible this thing just hates me 01:51

PanzerMKZplease tell what kind of dell server this is?02:22
jbrouhardDell PowerEdge 645002:24
jbrouhardQuad Xeon 900Mhz, 2x 9GB SCSI drives02:24
jbrouhard2GB RAM 02:24
PanzerMKZwell darn it I was afraid you where going to say something like that02:24
PanzerMKZlet me guess ubuntu server starts loading but then gives error message that it can't find the cdrom02:25
PanzerMKZand when you tried other linux distro's then you got the same thing02:25
jbrouhardyup02:25
jbrouhardWindows works fine02:25
PanzerMKZI have two of those. both dual 700's.02:26
jbrouhardok02:26
jbrouhardever get them working ?02:26
PanzerMKZbut like you I could not get ubuntu installed native.02:26
PanzerMKZthe boss loaded up Xen (or Zen) and then installed ubuntu in virt server02:26
PanzerMKZsorry I could not help more02:27
jbrouhardoh, well02:29
PanzerMKZI do have one offline that we could test with.02:29
PanzerMKZgot to find a drive cage for it02:29
jbrouhardhmm02:29
jbrouhardwhat about...02:29
jbrouhardnet boot ?02:29
jbrouhardoff a floppy disk ?02:29
jbrouhardthat';s about the only thing i've not tried yet02:30
PanzerMKZmight work. I was going to try something like that off serial port for one of the dell powervaults that I have02:30
PanzerMKZso if I might ask though what are you going to be doing with this quad?02:32

jbrouhardPanzerMKZ: Seriously considering selling it02:37
jbrouhardIt's no use to my company right now, and I need a solution like last week <G>02:37
jbrouhardThis was supposed to be it, so I'm a week and half behind in getting things taken care of02:37
PanzerMKZyea. I did not put a second in the rack cause of this very reason. I got a couple of older compaq DL360's02:40
PanzerMKZbut even that had an issue as I wanted to install ubuntu02:40
PanzerMKZand the stock server cd does not play well with the raid controller in the DL36002:41
jbrouhard*nods*02:41
jbrouhardI'm not sure what i'm gonna do here to be honest02:41
jbrouhardif i ebay it, i stand to recoup my lost PLUS be able to get the parts i need for the correct server02:42
jbrouhardotherwise, I'm gonna be hurting for months02:42
PanzerMKZhmm. what spec of server are you looking for? I have another dual 1gig DL36002:43
PanzerMKZand I have iso to make ubuntu server 7,04 work great on them02:47
jbrouhardhmm02:48
jbrouhardDual processor, 1GB RAM or better02:48
PanzerMKZoh two gig then would be enough?02:49
PanzerMKZor just 1gig?02:49
PanzerMKZpm then?02:50
jbrouhardsomething that can hopefully handle SATA drives02:50
jbrouhardsure02:50
jbrouhardPM me please02:50
PanzerMKZwell nm then02:50
PanzerMKZwhat I got won't handle sata. scsi only02:51
jbrouhardSATA is not mandatory ,but prefered.  if SCSI is available02:51
jbrouhardhmm.. how many drives ?02:51
PanzerMKZ202:51
jbrouhard2?  Size ?02:51

Lunexany option to do a "save" install or anything like this ?12:13
Lunexthe install just stops at 85% nothing to do there12:13
Burgundaviabetter to reinstall completely if you have an issue with the iso or disk12:14
Lunexjust downloaded and made a cd of it, allowed the installer to use whole disk12:14

Burgundaviait might be a cd drive issue, given the age of the hardware12:15

ScottKmattwalston: Did you look at RT?03:43
mattwalstonScottK: don't think so, i googled looked at 4 or 5 and a lot were junk so i gave up03:43
ScottKI've used RT before and it works reasonably well and is GPL.03:44
ScottKIt's a large Perl package, so performance is very, umm, Perl-like, but with a decent machine it does fine.03:44

malnilionleonel: hard to say, but it seemed to be a combination of changing file permissions and changing my extension from .pl to .perl (though that shouldn't be a fix); if all is well, I should be able to change .perl back to .pl.  At any rate, I got a hello world perl script to run.06:07

malnilionOpen question, if any of you were going to create a website with a contact form page which would simply email to a certain user, would you write the script yourself or use a pre-existing script?08:30
infinityI'd write it myself, because most of the pre-existing things are scary and convoluted, while doing it yourself is about 3 lines of input validation and one line of mailing.08:40
infinityBut, y'know.  That's me, after having accidentally worked in the web industry for several years.08:40
malnilioninfinity, if it were you, what would you use to send the message.  The sendmail program seems to be a popular choice from what I've seen.08:42

infinity(By that, I mean /usr/sbin/sendmail, as provided by MTAs like Exim, Postfix, and Sendmail, not the actual "sendmail" MTA)08:43
infinityBut, your language of choice probably provides an abstraction to sendmail, which you should use.08:43
infinityIn perl, there's a few good modules, in PHP, it's the mail() function, etc.08:44
infinityIf you're writing shell CGIs, then you can use sendmail directly, I guess, or use "mail".08:44

=== ScottK [n=ScottK@ubuntu/member/scottk] has joined #ubuntu-server
infinityfednube: FTP isn't inherently secure or insecure.  Standard FTP uses plain text password but, then again, so do standard POP and IMAP mail access, which doesn't bug most people...10:05
infinityfednube: vsftpd and proftpd can both do ftp-ssl, though, which ends up being just as secure as you (and your users) want it to be, really.10:05
fednubeinfinity -- so providing ssh login to the public would not be your first choice then?......10:12
infinityfednube: Generally not.10:15
fednubeim just looking for guidance in the best dirction and the cheapest way for me to provide this service 10:15
fednubeok10:15
fednubeim confused though because everyone in tutorial seems to bash FTP in favour for SFTP and ssh10:15
fednubemaybe im missing a point here10:15
infinityYou can do sftponly in sshd_config, but you can't easily chroot it.10:21
infinitysftp/ssh is a great solution if you want people to have shell access to your machine.10:21
infinity(or, if you want them to be able to walk the filesystem remotely)10:21
infinityIf you want "stupid web users" to be able to upload to their own webspace, and nowhere else, you almost certainly want a flexible FTP daemon.10:21
infinityAnd if you're concerned about passwords on the wire, you want ftp-ssl.10:21

infinitymaccam912: Your router might be blocking port 80 because it's the management port by default or, alternately, your ISP might filter port 80 (many do).10:23
maccam912I did contact charter (my ISP) and the man I talked to assured me multiple times that they DEFINATELY do not block traffic on any port.10:23

coNPmaccam912: but is *your* router setup to do port forwarding?10:23
maccam912coNP: yes, I think so10:23
coNPyou should be at least sure :D10:23
maccam912I am forwarding traffic on port 80 to my box,10:23
maccam912the one with the server set up10:23
coNPoh I see10:23
maccam912its identical to port 2010, which does work for remote users10:23
coNPmaybe try to use another port on your router10:23
coNPto test if your provider is not filtering thing indeed10:23
coNPe.g. remote port 2101 to local 8010:23
maccam912well, http://maccam912.dyndns.org:2010/ works for most people10:23
infinityErr, that's what he's done.10:23
coNP2011 but should be the same10:23
coNPokay I tend to assume that *I* did the mistake10:23
coNPand tend to give advices in this manner as well :)10:23
coNPOh sure. I misunderstood you.10:23
maccam912I'm sorry, I don't see what I did wrong then...10:23
coNPSorry.10:23
infinityIf the ISP is filtering, they'll only filter 25, 80, and a few others.10:23
coNPNo, I am sorry.10:23
infinityAnd it's entirely possible the guy on the phone either lied, or assumed you were talking about outbound traffic.10:23
coNPI'll traceroute your10:23
coNPIP10:23
maccam912so you are fairly sure that they were lying when they said they weren't filtering10:23
infinityIt's also possible your router sucks.10:23
maccam91271.90.70.13710:23
infinitycoNP: You can't ping him, his ICMP is filtered.10:23
coNPI can resolve IPs from DNS... but thanks anyway :)10:23
infinitycoNP: And I'm not sure what good you think tracing will do. :)10:23
coNPOh, you are right.10:23
infinitymaccam912: 80 isn't explicitely filtered, it's just not open.  So, it's your router sucking.10:23
maccam912not sure how you know that but thank you10:23
coNPI guess nmap10:23
coNPbut infinity can tell :)10:23
maccam912I've got a spare NETGEAR router, or can I get my netgear router up and running? (I know this isn't a router support channel, but any help is appreciated)10:24
coNPYou should try that IMHO.10:24
maccam912netgear over linksys?10:25
coNPOnly one of them10:25
maccam912any suggestions? or will either one do?10:25
coNPBut I don't know what is your network topology, of course.10:26
maccam912well, I got cable coming to my modem, which goes to an ethernet cable to my router, which then connects to the rest of my computers10:26
maccam912I've got my linksys settings open right now. would the fact that I connect to my linksys settings thru a web browser have anything to do with disrupting traffic to my server?10:28
infinityErr, yes.10:30
infinityIf you do it on port 80, it won't listen on port 80 to forward it.10:30
infinityChange your management port to something else (say, 8080), then set up the forwarding rules for 80.10:30
maccam912my only choices are http and https, so you're saying https should work?10:31
infinityYou're kidding.  It doesn't let you specify an arbitrary management port?10:31
infinityWhat a hunk of...10:31
maccam912nope, I don't think so10:31
infinityBut, yes.  Switch it to https, then.10:31
mralphabetmaccam912: charter is lieing, port 80 inbound does not work10:32
maccam912I'll check again, but I don't think I had any more options10:32
maccam912I think thats what you told me yesterday10:32
mralphabetit is what I told you yesterday10:32
maccam912and you're sticking to your guns :)10:33
mralphabetCharter used to filter anything < 1024 inbound then they started to move to selective ports10:33
infinitymralphabet: They're not dropping packets to port 80.10:33
maccam912they did explicitly tell me that they are not blocking anything10:33
mralphabetinfinity: I don't know what you are looking at, but 80 doesn't work10:35
mralphabet88 works, 8080 works . . . any of the other non-standard "standard" http ports work, 80 does not10:36
infinitymralphabet: I'm looking at the fact that I get an RST on 80.  If it was filtered, I'd get no response.10:36
mralphabetinfinity: we may need to agree to disagree here, I stand by my statement10:40
infinityIf his router is running the management interface on 80, it won't also forward 80, it'll just block it on the external interface.10:40
infinitySo, what the ISP is or isn't doing is moot at that point.10:40
mralphabetcorrect10:41
mralphabetWhat I am saying is that charter (regardless of whatever you are seeing) breaks inbound port 80 (again, regardless of management interface or not)10:41
maccam912I set it up so local management is HTTPS (not HTTP) and remote management is 8080, so there shouldn't be port 80 when managing10:43
maccam912it should all go to my server if charter isn't blocking it10:43
maccam912(unless HTTPS is using port 80?)10:43
mralphabethttps uses 44310:43
infinityhttps should be 443.10:43
