ph1zzleDustWolf: fact of the matter is, thats not a standard thing to happen in ubuntu, nor does it have to do with the route cache, there is software that is autobanning them, now it can be something that is just in a cron script that the other "root"04:21
ph1zzleguy you mentioned added it04:21
ph1zzleor it can be one of dozens of apps that do exactly what fail2ban does04:21
ph1zzledo a DustWolf =>04:24
ph1zzleps -A -o command | sort -u04:24
ph1zzlethat command will show you all processes running04:25
ph1zzlesudo crontab -l04:25
ph1zzlethat command will list the root crontab04:25
ph1zzleand if that doesn't work, and maybe it's not the every ten minutes, maybe it's hourly, then check /etc/cron.hourly04:26

rinmanI have just installed SSL for apache as by the ubuntu tutorial, but now when I try wgetting the page i get "ERROR: certificate common name `s.p10.hostingprod.com' doesn't match requested host name `my.host.com'". What didn't I do or did wrong?05:14
rinmanI created my own certificate btw05:14
ScottKIf you didn't use your hostname as the common name when you created it, that's what happens.05:16

rinmanmkay, will try that, thx!05:18
halcyonCorsairhi, i'm trying to install ubuntu 6.06 server onto an HP DL140 G3 with an LSI SAS RAID controller, but the 2.6.15 kernel doesn't seem to support SAS, and the partitioner can't find any drives, is there any way I can somehow install 6.06 but use a later kernel or something?05:20
ScottKNot and have it be supported.05:21
ScottKUbuntu is getting close to releasing a 6.06.2 and newer hardware support is the primary reason.05:21
ScottKI'd ask here during the week if your hardware will be supported.  The people that would know are rarely here during the weekend.05:22
=== pschulz01 [n=pschulz0@ubuntu/member/pschulz01] has joined #ubuntu-server
halcyonCorsairgeh, its monday here... :(05:24
halcyonCorsairis there a solid timeline on 6.06.2?05:24
halcyonCorsaireither way, i need this reasonably quickly, so support or no, is it possible?05:24
Kamping_Kaiserhm. .2 took sits time05:25
ScottKhalcyonCorsair: Why 6.06?  If you are going to do something that doesn't get LTS supported, why not try Feisty?05:26
ScottKMost of the relevant people work in Europe, so standard working hours there.05:26
halcyonCorsairScottK: 6.06, because its currently our preferred platform for all our servers, and we want it to be as standardised as possible05:27
ScottKAh.05:27
ScottKIf I were in your position, I'd try Feisty and if it works, ask about if you hardware will be supported in 6.06.2.05:28
rinmanscottk: if i wanted to use the same crt for a bunch of subdomains, would it be possible to set it to just domain.com rather than svn.subdomain.domain.com and still get it to work?05:29
ajmitchthe kernel team did have something planned for driver backports, I'm not sure of its status though05:29
=== PanzerMKZ [i=Panzer@06-134.136.popsite.net] has joined #ubuntu-server
ScottKrinman: I think, but am not sure, that you need to roll one cert per domain.  I've never had to do it, so that may be wrong.05:30
halcyonCorsairi did see a mention of a 2.6.15-50 kernel...is there any way I can install using that? (i don't know what the process would be to install to a kernel other than the one on the cd)05:30
ajmitchyou can have an ssl certificate for *.domain.com05:30
ScottKrinman: What ajmitch said.05:30
rinmanoki, so should i write .domain.com, *.domain.com or just domain.com as the common name?05:31
=== ScottK shuts up and lets ajmitch answer since he knows what he's talking about.
rinman=)05:31
ScottKhalcyonCorsair: I don't either.05:32
ajmitchI believe domain.com vs *.domain.com are different05:32
halcyonCorsairhmm05:32
=== ScottK agrees with ajmitch since that seems to be working so far.
ScottKhalcyonCorsair: The extremely painful way to do it would be to install a later working system (e.g. Edgy or Feisty), install the older kernel and then downgrade everying.  Not sure if it's actually possible.05:33
=== macd [n=d@cl-151.ewr-01.us.sixxs.net] has joined #ubuntu-server
rinmanajmitch: sorry, but was that an answer? =)05:34
ajmitchrinman: in a sense05:34
ScottKI think it was.05:34
ajmitchlatest 2.6.15 kernel I see is 2.6.15-28.5705:34
ScottKrinman: Based on ajmitch's sense of an answer, I'd try *.domain.com and see how it works.05:34
ajmitchor not, that's security05:34
ajmitch2.6.15-50.61 is in -proposed05:35
halcyonCorsairits a shame i couldn't use a usbstick to load a new kernel while running05:35
ajmitchkexec would be useful there05:35
ajmitch2.6.15-50.61 doesn't appear to have anything helpful in its changelog05:37
halcyonCorsairi might have to go as high as 2.6.2005:37
ScottKThat's the Feisty kernel, so at least it's available in a release and not just in the developmental version.05:38
halcyonCorsairhmm05:38
halcyonCorsairajmitch: i think its the fusion mpt sas driver05:39
halcyonCorsairok, so i'm gonna try installing feisty for the moment05:42
halcyonCorsairis there any particular advantage to a separate /boot partition when using xfs for the main partition?05:42
ajmitchhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/3745205:42
ubotuLaunchpad bug 37452 in linux-source-2.6.15 "fusion mpt sas driver does not find a RAID1 disk during installation(Sun Galaxy X4200 and X4100, Dell SASR5/i)" [High,In progress] 05:42
ajmitchprobably not, as grub should read xfs without any issues05:43
halcyonCorsairajmitch: yeah i found that before, just working my way through the links in the comments05:44
ajmitchsome tedious workarounds in there05:44
halcyonCorsairis there any advantage to a separate boot partition with the main partition being xfs on lvm?05:44
ajmitchyes, grub can't handle lvm05:45
halcyonCorsairgood to know05:47
rinmanyay, it worked! thx a lot!05:47
halcyonCorsairok....so like...how different from 6.06 is 7.04?06:04
ScottKhalcyonCorsair: This is for server, right?06:09
halcyonCorsairScottK: yeah06:09
ScottKThe biggest thing you will immediately notice is that mounts are done by UUID instead of device name.06:10
ScottKUpstart is used instead of the traditional Sys V init system, but it has a compatibility layer, so you may not even notice that.06:10
halcyonCorsairScottK: will be switching from mawk to gawk, using bind9 for dns, squid, dhcp3-server, and our own custom software06:11
halcyonCorsairhmm, upstart.... >:( i hope so....i don't want to rewrite our init scripts again....06:11
ScottKOh, one other big thing is the default shell switches from Bash to Dash, so no mor Bashisms.06:11
ScottKYou shouldn't have to.06:12
ScottKmor/more06:12
Kamping_Kaisermounts by uuid is iky :(06:12
halcyonCorsairScottK: i think i need the crazy-mad bash stuff06:13
ajmitchyour initscripts are full of bashisms?06:14
ScottK'/bin/sh is a symlink, so you can change it.06:14
ScottKKamping_Kaiser: Why?  It's the only thing that actually works reliably with mutliple SATA/RAID drives.06:15
halcyonCorsairajmitch: well....sec06:15
Kamping_KaiserScottK, because its unreadable (by me). /dev/sda i can read [15 character string]  i cant (or write)06:15
ScottKAgreed, but unless you want random failures on reboot, for systems with multiple drives, it's the only way to fly.06:16
Kamping_Kaiseryea. quite probably :(06:17
ajmitchKamping_Kaiser: so use LVM on top & don't worry about it06:17
Kamping_Kaiserajmitch, potentially the first thing i've heard that makes me like the sound of lvm, but i dont like the 'one drive dies, you loose all' bit that i've herad of06:17
ajmitchso use LVM on RAID :)06:18
halcyonCorsairwhat are the chances of this working in dash?: http://rafb.net/p/R9j5P643.html06:18
ajmitchor a separate volume group per drive, if you're that way inclined06:18
ajmitchmy eyes...06:19
halcyonCorsairthats what happens when you get help from #bash....i know what it does, and mostly how it does it, but.....its a monster nonetheless06:21
Kamping_Kaiseri usually do pretty welll out of #bash06:22
halcyonCorsairheh :)06:25

Kamping_Kaiserhow many levels deep can a sub domain go?11:04
sorenKamping_Kaiser: Many. Why?11:06
Kamping_Kaisersoren, i was thinking of writing a bind config file, but found a script my mate wrote to automate the job (to a degree). took a look, and it only allows 3 levels from root sub.domain.ext.cc11:08
Kamping_Kaiserso i was wondering if you could only do 3, or if that was a limit of the script11:09
sorenKamping_Kaiser: Oh, you can do plenty more than three.11:10

spiekeyi have install ubuntu LTS on a DQ965GF intel board.02:50
spiekeyAfter a reboot i only get: GRUB _02:51
spiekeyit seems to work with SuSE ;)02:53
ScottKspiekey: It should work on the current Ubuntu release (Feisty) too.02:54
spiekeysame problem with Feisty02:55
ScottKHmmm02:55
ScottKDo you have any IDE devices?02:56
spiekeyduring the installation?02:58
ScottKYes.02:58
ScottKDifferent 965 variants have one of two different IDE controllers (non-Intel) on them.02:58
ScottKOne has been problematic on kernel support and the other hasn't.02:59
ScottKAll of the 965 install problems I've seen relate to that.02:59
ScottKOn pure SATA systems that don't use the IDE controller, it generally installs fine.03:00
spiekeyyes. i had. sda and sdb03:00
ScottKHow about the CD/DvD?03:00
spiekeyone moment, i will reinstall again.03:01
nandemonaiSounds like the jmicron issue I came across, not that it will probably help but I had a similar issue on Asus P5B, updated the Bios and it's ok now.03:05
nandemonaiActually while I'm here, has anyone got Ubuntu to install on an old Compaq Proliant server? So far all I've got to boot is Centos/RH. I'm thinking it's either a RAM or Raid issue. The installer just kaputs trying to load the kernel.03:07

ScottKYeah.  There's not much to it.04:37
ScottKsoren: It should pick up libmilter1 as a dependency through shlibs:depends.04:39
ScottKsoren: If you can start Python and "import milter" without error it's working.04:39
sorenScottK: Sure, got it.04:39
sorenJust one more thing I want to check. Hang on.04:39
ScottKOK.  You were correct about README.  I have a revised upload prepared.04:40
sorenScottK: The build-dep on python-all-dev should be "(>= 2.3.5-11)", I believe.04:43
sorenAlso, shouldn't there be a XB-Python-Version: ${python:Versions} ?04:44
ScottKsoren: debian/pyversions takes care of both of those I believe.04:45
sorenScottK: No, not exactly.04:45
ScottKNo?04:45
sorenScottK: The former is needed for pyversions (the script) to do the right thing (or something like that).04:46
sorenScottK: The latter is needed, and in the absence of debian/pyversions, it will be used in its place.04:46
sorenScottK: Did that make sense?04:46
ScottKYes.04:46
soren"Note: if there's no debian/pyversions, dh_pysupport will try to use the XS-Python-Version field to find out the list of supported versions."04:46
sorenhttp://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy04:47
ScottKI'll add the python-all-dev versioned dependency.04:47
ScottKRight.04:47
ScottKSo python-all-dev (>= 2.3.5-11) is what I need to add.04:47
sorenEr... Oh, I'm messing things up here.04:48
sorenXB-Python-Versions *is* needed, but the quote above is unrelated to that, actually.04:48
ScottKSo what's the point of debian/pyversions then?04:48
ScottKI had a delivery arrive just now.  I'll be back in a couple of minutes.04:49
sorendebian/pyversions specifies which versions of python the package is compatible with.04:51
sorenpython-{support,central} extracts this info and creates a substitution variable that can be put in debian/control, namely ${python:Versions}. That's how I understand it.04:51
soren..so add the XB-Python-Versions, and I'm happy.04:56
ScottKOK.  Will do.05:00

mwh_Hi, just installed ubuntu-server09:43
mwh_during the install, I couldn't setup the network ... the network works manually .. but how can I configure it now permanently in an easy way?09:44
mwh_is there a console ncurses tool I can use to enter the ssid and key for my wifi net?09:44
infinityman 5 interfaces09:45
mwh_Or do I have to update /etc/network/interfaces manually?09:45
ubuntu-jeffIt sounds like you don't have DHCP setup on your networking equipment09:45

mwh_it works well with dhcp09:45
mwh_no problem09:45
mwh_I just do an iwconfig ... then dhclient .. and it works09:46

mwh_I would like to have that set in stone though ;)09:46
ubuntu-jeffwhat release are you using?09:46
mwh_the latest stable09:46
ubuntu-jeffok09:46
infinityDo I want to know why you have a server that's connected with wireless?  Probably not, right? :)09:46
mwh_ha ha09:46
infinityAnyhow, you can configure your ESSID in /etc/network/interfaces.09:46
infinityThe manpage is very friendly about the whole thing.09:47
mwh_yes .. I know09:47
mwh_though I was still wondering why there isn't a handy tool for setting it up09:47
infinityIf your wireless NIC had been found at install, d-i would have let you configure it then too, but you may have skipped that bit if you had a wired network too.09:47
mwh_while there is one during the installationprocess09:47
ubuntu-jeffYeah, setting up a server with a Wireless connection is (a) a security hazard and (b) performance will always suck.09:47
infinityNo need for a tool, really, the config file is easy enough to understand...09:48
mwh_btw, how does ubuntu behave when the wifi connection goes away for a time and comes back .. will it automatically pick up where it left?09:48
infinityWe have tools for GUI users, but (puts on his elitist jerk hat), a sysadmin that can't figure out interface(5) won't get much further with his system, IMO.09:48
infinityIt should keep the association, in general.09:49
mwh_infinity, sure its easy .. though it would be super easy just to run a curses program09:49
mwh_okay09:49
infinityYes, but it would be super-pointless for me to WRITE a curses application, since the config file is easy.  See? :)09:49
infinityIf it's an itch someone cares to scratch, they may.09:49
ubuntu-jeffDose anybody know if ifolder will be available in the Universe repositories for 7.10 Gutsy? I know of some people who claim to have gotten it working, but only on 6.06.09:49
mwh_infinity, well .. its an old discussion :)09:51
ubuntu-jeffDo any of you have a solid understanding of Samba3?09:59

mathiazubuntu-jeff: you'd better ask your questions10:02
mathiazubuntu-jeff: someone may have enough understanding of samba3 to help you10:02
ubuntu-jeffok10:04
ubuntu-jeffwell...10:04
ubuntu-jeffIf I setup a SAMBA share with Read (or Read Write Permissions) to /mnt/smb/data10:05
ubuntu-jeffWhich is it's own partition (single hd, raid, not relevant for the question)10:05
ubuntu-jeffThen I set the noexecute option for /mnt/smb/data10:06
ubuntu-jeffin fstab10:06
ubuntu-jeffwill that prevent the Windows XP/2k clients10:06
ubuntu-jefffrom executing code (.exe's) stored on the server, available on the share?10:06
mralphabetubuntu-jeff: no10:06
ubuntu-jeffOr will that only prevent Unix users, telnet / ssh'ed into the server from executing code in /mnt/smb/data?10:07
mralphabetubuntu-jeff: windows copies the file to the windows client and executes it out of /userdata/temp/10:07
ubuntu-jeffdamn10:07
ubuntu-jeffso10:07
ubuntu-jeffEven though my nice shiny Ubuntu server is immune to viruses itself, it could become the typhoid marry of the network, if enough users make use of an infected file?10:08
ubuntu-jeffEven with noexecute set in fstab?10:08
mralphabetif they do not have write access to the share, the clients can't write back to infect files on the server10:09
ubuntu-jeffok10:10
ubuntu-jeffthanks10:10
mralphabetthis isn't a "ubuntu fails" type question (and I know you weren't going to say that) but this is a standard file serving issue10:10
=== mralphabet sighs
infinityubuntulog: noexec can never stop anyone from executing code anyway.10:11
infinityErr.10:12
infinitySorry, ubuntulog.. You got tab completion when the other dude left. :P10:12
