hansinDoes anyone know why you can not set the framebuffer in GRUB in Ubuntu and get the kernel messages (or for that matter to get it to boot to a CLI only system)?  I'm talking about adding VGA=775 to the kernel line.02:33
hansinIt might just be on Gutsy.02:34

stonehelmcouple of questions about PAM and per-user limits: on a default system the max number of open-file (per user) is 1024, is this defined in the kernel?12:07
stonehelmand how can I check the current number of open files for a user? is lsof |wc -l enough?12:08

admin21tenhello all05:33
admin21tenis this a user support or a developer channel?05:39
Nafalloboth AFAIK05:40
Nafalloadmin21ten: please read the topic :-)05:40
admin21tenI just installed ubuntu server and I am trying to setup a gateway which will take a wireless signal on ra0 and distribute it on eth0 to several APs which will hook to it on a switched network05:42
admin21tenwith that context, I was wondering if anyone could provide me with information on packages that would make this easier to do05:43
admin21tens/information/recomendations05:43
admin21tenI had previously installed IPCOP, but I was unable to set the wireless card up as the RED interface05:44

admin21tenATAWolfpack: what up, fellow kcluger!05:48
=== admin21ten aka luckyone
ATAWolfpackHowdy!05:49
admin21tenATAWolfpack: care to help me decide on some packages which will make managing my building's router/gateway a little easier?05:50
admin21tenATAWolfpack: I tried IPCOP before but couldn't get it to let me use ra0 as RED interface05:50
admin21tennow I am on good ol' ubuntu, I have the wireless interface ra0 configured as my primary, and I am connected on it right now05:51
admin21tenATAWolfpack: now I just need to figure out how to share this connection with eth0 and configure eth0 to be what my GREEN network would have been in IPCOP05:52
ATAWolfpackHmm05:53
ATAWolfpacki don't know much about IPCOP.. i mostly use shorewall or firestarter05:53
admin21tendoes shorewall have a gui?05:53
admin21tenI think that is what I want to use05:53
=== ATAWolfpack1 [n=jbrouhar@cm-207-192-233-238.stjoseph.mo.npgco.com] has joined #ubuntu-server
ATAWolfpack1bloody hell... the wireless here is REALLY messed up.05:56
ATAWolfpack1Shorewall doesn't have a GUI.  it's entirely command based.  it uses configuration files to build the iptables rules05:57
admin21tenhmm, I am worried that will be a little over my head and very much over the head of the person who manages this when the day comes for me to move out05:58
admin21tenI mean, it isn't really the firewall part that I am worried about, it is more about configuring the gateway05:59
admin21tenthat is all I need to do to get this part of the project done05:59
=== ATAWolfpack1 is now known as jbrouhard
admin21tenwe will not be on the big, bad internet... we are simply taking the library's wifi signal and distributing that across our building06:00
jbrouhardSmoothwall is fairly straightforward.06:01
jbrouhardthe configs are pretty much written in end-user language06:01
admin21tencool06:01
admin21tendoes it allow me to do what I want to do?06:01
admin21tenie, dhcp and configure a gateway06:01
jbrouhardI think so06:01
jbrouhardWell, yeah06:01
jbrouhardDHCP is external06:01
jbrouhardif you want a howto, i have one06:02
admin21tenhow to set up shorewall?!?06:02
admin21tenor DHCP?06:02
admin21tenthe DHCP part I am less worried about it, I am thinking I might just have the WRT54GL's handle that at the AP level and give them static addresses06:03
admin21tenjbrouhard: what do you think of smoothwall?06:04
peanutbhmm. anyone know why lsb_release might be takeing up 99% of the CPU?06:06
peanutbim on a dapper VPS06:07
peanutbadmin21ten, shorewall is great if you want a dedicated box as a DHCP server. What it lacks is easy expandibility06:08
=== peanutb has one sitting behind him
peanutbits a bit of a waste of power06:09
peanutbi recomend something that can provide more features such a ebox ect06:09

jbrouhardadmin21ten  sorry about that06:15
jbrouhardadmin21ten How many computers are in question ?   you can use static IP for probably up a handful of computers06:18
jbrouhardbut if you have a large # of computers (say more than a dozen) DHCP is really the best way to go06:18
admin21tenjbrouhard: sorry, was reading shorewall doc and I don't have this screen set up to tell me about alerts in other screens...06:24
jbrouhardNP06:25
admin21tenjbrouhard: there will be 7-8 AP's that I would address statically, then let them use dhcp to issue addresses06:25
jbrouhardI have a debian firewal how-to..06:25
jbrouhardincludes DHCP, Shorewall, Cacheing DNS06:25
admin21tendonde?06:26
jbrouharddonde ?06:26
jbrouhardhuh?06:26
admin21tenwhere?06:26
admin21tenheh06:26
jbrouhardLOL06:26
jbrouhardI'm planning to adapt and modify this for Ubuntu-Server, maybe include it as a SOHO option06:26
jbrouhardhttp://www.cyberdogtech.com/firewalls/06:26
jbrouhardand FYI, i really don't recommend linux as an AP06:26
jbrouhard:)06:27
admin21tenBSD?06:27
jbrouhardunless you're using a commercial AP.06:27
jbrouhardmeh06:27
jbrouhardNever heard of much luck using anything other than hardware-based AP's.06:27
admin21tenreally, so you think it is going to be tough to for me to set this up?06:28
admin21tenwhat I want to do seems simple to me06:28
admin21tentake ra0, share that over eth0 and let 7-8 wireless ap's connect to it06:29
jbrouhardhmm06:29
jbrouhardMaybe i'm not getting this06:29
jbrouhardra0 is what?  your internet link ?06:29
admin21tenyes06:29
jbrouhardor wireless ?06:29
admin21tenra0 is the wireless nic that will connect to the Downtown Library's wifi network06:30
jbrouhardI see.06:30
admin21ten(they are proponents of this btw)06:30
jbrouhardheh06:30
admin21tenso this box is responsible for connecting to that signal, then feeding the network we build in house06:31
jbrouhardhmm06:32
jbrouhardto keep it simple and not mess with your brain...06:33
admin21tenhah06:33
jbrouhardI'd set up a router/gateway on the box in question, and use your own IP address network.06:33
jbrouhardi'm presuming that's your opinion ?06:33
admin21tenyes06:33
admin21tenthat is exactly what I want to do06:33
jbrouhardhmm06:44
jbrouhardthe howto i sent you should do the trick just as easily.06:44
jbrouhardyou should be able to modify the howto to work with *buntu, since it's based on debian06:44
admin21tenjbrouhard: quick question for you... if ifconfig doesn't show my eth0 card (I thought it did, and it is recognized in lspci) what do I need to do to get it to show up?07:03
jbrouhardcheck /etc/network/interfaces07:05
jbrouhardeth0 may not be set to "auto"07:06
