winsubuhalo guys, i have to put up a gateway running ubuntu, i want to know can i have two or more default routes (multi homes gateway) in ubuntu?12:19
krautwinsubu: you didn't understood the meaning of a default route.12:21
krautwinsubu: you could have severall routs, but only _one_ default route12:21
krautoh, sorry12:21
krautyes, that's possible, but it's not perfectly working12:21
krautthe route must shutdown completly to use the redundant route.12:22
krautwinsubu: you could do for example a ping check over the active default route and if it fails, you could deactivate it and use the other one.12:22
krautbut remind that this isn't session-transparent.12:22
winsubukraut, ok well i have two adsl routers with ip's so i was thinking putting the one router as the default and add an ip alias to the nic and putting the other as it's default route then having squid run on the box, you could connect to IP:3128 -> going via router ip1 | or connecting to squid IP/ALIAS:3128 -> going via router ip 212:24
winsubuso i guess it can be done :) man i am impressed with ubuntu,12:24
winsubui am using gentoo currently but my head is so sore from all the source compiles and manual kernel compiles,12:25
krautwinsubu: yes, but round-robbin won't work12:25
krautgentoo sucks hell12:25
winsubukraut, thats ok, any way i can get a round robin to work with my setup?12:25
krautit has only advantages, if you are a programmer and you need the sources12:25
winsubuhehehe SHHH dont say that too loud12:25
krauti don't think a round-robbin would be possible12:25
krautbecause your external IP will flap then12:26
krautand your sessions will fail12:26
winsubuunless i have two config files, do a cron to do a ping every 5 mins, if the ping fails or time out have cron execute a script to rename the net config and do a networking restart?12:26
winsubuok thats a great help thanks kraut 12:28
ICUhmm there is no round-robin in this scenario, is it?12:31
ICUyou could probably do the trick by using a combination of destination/source nat and routing but this would require to have at least a proper routing. i'm not really sure how to handle that12:33
ICUperhaps you could solve this by using ip only, but i'm not that familiar with the ip interface :P12:34
winsubuwell you could get something like monit to ping the routers every 5 mins and if no response comes back then rename the netowork settings file and restart the network, then you could be using router 1 or router 2 but thats quite manual :P12:36

dthackerwinsubu:  I was trying to think of a way to apply what I know about linux-ha, ldirectord and crossroads to your situation, but I have not found a way to apply these to what you are doing.12:52
ICUif ping fails you could just delete the old default route and add an new one12:52
dthackerlinux-ha will move a virtual ip back and forth between two linux machines, but it must live on the machines.  Can't run it on routers ;)12:53
dthackerusing the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Silly) then I would follow ICU's suggestion12:55

stiVhi everyone ... not sure this is the right channel, but maybe someone can help or redirect me somewhere i can ask my question: i have my own debian mirror, (self signed etc...) and some own packages. the packages work fine, except one package has an initscript that starts/stops a daemon. (perl) the problem is when i upgrade the package and the daemon is already running when the script tries to start it or already stopped whe01:29
stiVthe "Hangup" does not come from the initscript - when i do this manually (stopping multiple times, starting multiple times) everything works ok --- if running, it tells me and if already stopped in tells me that too.01:29
stiVexit status is always 0 (checked by echoing $? right after the commands)01:30
stiVanyone have a suggestion how i can get my postinst script to ignore this and just go one (everything works if i remove that starting part, but i want it to do that...!)01:31
stiV"go one" = "go on"01:31
stiVgoogle is not really helping there01:32
stiVah and i tried to remove the "set -e" --> doesn't help01:32

ScottKIs there anyone here who is familiar with using milters with Sendmail that would have a moment to discuss it?  I'm trying to make sure the Ubuntu package for dkim-filter has a default that's reasonable for both Postfix and Sendmail.03:53
DrazhaI installed this same and identical copy yesterday and did the same thing and never got this message03:53

=== mathiaz [n=mathiaz@dsl-207-112-54-201.tor.primus.ca] has joined #ubuntu-server
jdstrandScottK: what is your question.  I have used milter, but haven't used dkim-filter.03:55
ScottKThe dkim-filter can listen on a Unix socket or on TCP, e.g. /var/run/dkim-filter/dkim-filter.sock or inet:8891@localhost or inet:12345@192.0.2.103:56
ScottKThe Debian package defaults to the socket03:56
ScottKThis is problematic for a chrooted Postfix.03:56
ScottKSo I changed it in Ubuntu to use the loopback.03:57
ScottKNo chroot issues that way.03:57
ScottKMy question is, is that a problem for Sendmail?03:57
jdstrandI have always used the unix socket.  let me pull out my bat book03:58
ScottKThanks.03:58
jdstrandwhile I am looking-- have you considered a hard link (haven't looked at the postfix packaging...)03:59
ScottKThat would work I think, but would be more complexity.04:00

ScottKLet me see what I can do with that.  Thanks.04:05
jdstrandnp04:05
jdstrandjust for thoroughness, sendmail can support 'local' 'inet' and 'inet6' ('unix' is a synonym for 'local')04:06
ScottKThanks.04:07
jdstrandI also had a typo in the text I said to replace, but I bet you spotted it04:09
jdstrands#`S=/var/run/dkim-filter/dkim-filter.sock'#`S=local:/var/run/dkim-filter/dkim-filter.sock'#04:09
ScottKI hadn't, but I haven't actually sat down to update the package yet.  I hope I would have then.04:11

joshritgercan anyone tell me if i can use ubuntu server to share two drives that are formated in ntfs and have files on them already?10:56
lcddyes, you can read off them10:57
joshritgerlcdd: can I write to them from a networked computer?10:57
mralphabetjoshritger: reading / writing is controlled by the OS that the drives are connected to.  NTFS writing in linux is not not something I would describe as stable.  It makes no difference where the write comes from, it is still the local machine handing the data to the drive to be written.11:00
gamble6xAs far as I can see ntfs-3g is not in aptitude for 6.06 LTS11:00
ScottKgamble6x: Do you have Universe enabled?11:01
gamble6xbut arguably you could install that and it should work fine as long as you haven't done any NTFS encryption.11:01
joshritgerI am trying to setup a fileserver that will be able to share files with my ubuntu box and my windows box, I know about samba11:01
gamble6xyes11:02
joshritgercan I share the two drives that are ntfs from my ubuntu server and read and write to them from windows or ubuntu?11:02
gamble6xjoshritger: as I said.  ntfs-3g seems to be "pretty good" at reading/writing NTFS drives.  So if you mount the drives on an ubuntu server with ntfs-3g it should work well enough shared through Samba or whatever you like.11:04
joshritgerok11:05
gamble6xhowever, if you are able, it would be best to backup the data elsewhere and convert the drives to something Linux native.11:05
joshritgerok, which filesystem do you recommend?11:05
gamble6xbut because ntfs-3g is not in the repos (as best I can tell) you'll have to install it yourself.11:06
joshritgerk11:06
joshritgerwhich linux native filesystem do you recommend?11:06
ScottKIt was first packaged in Edgy, so no, it's not in Dapper.11:07
joshritgerok11:07
qmanext3 is the tried and true basic system...reiserFS is good with lots of small files, and XFS is good with big files11:07
joshritgerok11:07
ScottKReiserFS is also essentially unmaintained.11:07
joshritgeri think i will  go  with ext311:07
joshritgerI just have to figure out where to back up my stuff too first11:07
joshritgerLOL11:08
gamble6xext3 is still my top pick.  Others are slightly faster at moving smaller or larger files depending, but overall ext3 is a nice average speed journalized filesystem that is rock solid.11:08
joshritgerok, i think i will try that as soon as I get my server up and running11:08
qmanyeah, the performance difference is in my experience not that great, unless you really tune it to a specific application11:09
gamble6xbut I'll freely admit that as an opinion.  Others might tell you riser or something else.11:09
joshritgerI am most familiar with ext3 so I think that is what i will go with11:09
qmanI'd sooner buy faster disks11:09
joshritgermost of my files that are used off of the disks are music files, but some occasional storage also11:10
qmanwell, the "small" cutoff for reiserFS being better is around one megabyte11:10
joshritgerok, so ext3 sounds best for now11:11
qmanso music files aren't going to gain from it, and XFS is going to be about a wash, since they're not really big either11:11
joshritgerthanks for the help, maybe once I actually get it running I can ask some more questions on more tedius matters11:12
qmanif you're having trouble finding extra space to back up to, you might look into resizing partitions, but that's also considered somewhat unstable11:12
joshritgerok11:13
joshritgerI have enough space I just have to figure out what to move where11:13
