[04:20] <elubin> where is the file located that handles the startup script on ubuntu?
[04:43] <elubin> i have a dhcp server running on my ubuntu pc and just installed rcconf and was wondering if the dhcp startup script handles both the ip address of the computer itself as well as the dhcp server or if they are separate
[05:56] <osmosis> how come sshd doesnt have a incremental delay features ?
[07:31] <osmosis> I did apt-get install cacti , and its all setup. ..but it never told me the default user and pass to login to cacti with.
[08:05] <osmosis> how do I setup snmpd.conf on hosts so I can use cacti?
[08:29] <osmosis> anyone tell me what this means ? http://dpaste.com/25278/
[10:18] <svschwartz> hi2all
[10:20] <svschwartz> somebody knows any plans for tomcat6 packages in gutsy ? :)
[10:20] <svschwartz> server
[13:33] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> i'm building a wireless router using gutsy ... last time i built one of these it was based on the 2.4 kernel using an atheros card.  it looks like the wireless devices were split, wlan0 for managed mode and wmaster0 for master mode... is that right?  if not, what is wmaster0 vs wlan0?
[14:15] <kraut> moin
[15:10] <phaidros> XPertKnobTwiddlr: never looked out for that specific problem, but for a wireless router OpenWRT kamikaze or even FreiFunk Firmware (if embedded device like WRT or such) is way better than huge distro.
[15:27] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> phaidros: you're right...  but this machine will actually have many other purposes
[15:29] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> XPertKnobTwiddlr: it's a pIII , i plan to have it function as a wifi router, ethernet gateway, mercurial repository w/ www interface, and perhaps even a hardware mpeg encoder
[15:29] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> eh, probably not the mpeg encoder
[15:31] <phaidros> nice ..
[15:31] <phaidros> but to your atheros problem ..
[15:32] <phaidros> with gutsy I just have wifi0 (shown as wifi0-00 in ifconfig -a)
[15:32] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> hmm, im not having an atheros problem
[15:32] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> i just wanted to know about the new net device names (new, relative to 2.4, lol)
[15:32] <phaidros> wlan0 and wmaster0 are not what I experience with my atheros card on gutsy
[15:32] <phaidros> a IC :)
[15:32] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> ie:  what is the difference between wlan0 and wmaster0 ?
[15:33] <phaidros> never seen each of them :)
[15:33] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> i would assume that they point to the same device, but one is master and the other is managed mode
[15:33] <phaidros> I think one belongs to sumthin like hostAP and the other .. proxim card :D
[15:33] <phaidros> *no clue*
[15:33] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> hmm
[15:33] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> ok
[15:34] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> and i was also unclear before when i mentioned the atheros card -- that's still in a different machine currently running 2.4
[15:34] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> the gutsy box has a prism54 inside
[15:34] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> i dont even know if that driver permits a master mode
[15:34] <phaidros> ok, see thats where wlan0 comes from
[15:34] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> yes
[15:34] <phaidros> iwconfig wlan0 mode master
[15:34] <phaidros> see what it does :)
[15:35] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> normally i use pastebin, but it's ok to paste 2 lines, right?
[15:35] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> eh, one line says enough:      SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
[15:35] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> so, that'
[15:36] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> s what made me think i might have to use the wmaster0 device
[15:36] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> however:
[15:36] <phaidros> well, that seems the driver doesn't support it.
[15:36] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> wmaster0  no wireless extensions.
[15:36] <phaidros> uhm, as I'm no expert on proxim, you might want to ask in #freifunk or #openwrt .. helpful ppl ..
[15:36] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> ok, well if that's the case, then i'll yank the atheros card from the older 2.4 box and see if gutsy treats that one any different
[15:37] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> ah, thanks :-)
[15:37] <phaidros> yepp, should so
[15:37] <phaidros> atheros way easier :D
[15:37] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> meanwhile....  eventually i will build a specialized system for router only...  i'll probably install it to a CF disk... do you recommend any specific distro for a small installation that specializes in this?
[15:38]  * XPertKnobTwiddlr googles openWRT :-)
[15:39] <Nafallo> .org
[15:39] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> yeah, found it :-)
[15:39] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> thanks
[16:43] <Nafallo> hmm. we still have alsa-modules in the server flavour of the kernel?
[17:13] <phaidros> o nice
[17:36] <svschwartz> where can I find complete documentation about debian packaging ? something like MaximumRPM
[17:37] <soren> svschwartz: What's maximumrpm? http://www.maximumrpm.com/ looks less than helpful..
[17:38] <svschwartz> http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/
[17:38] <svschwartz> it's all about red hat package menagement :)
[17:39] <soren> svschwartz: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/ ?
[17:42] <svschwartz> thank you soren :) how is your project ? sohobuntu as i remember :)
[17:59] <phaidros> where would I put the '--askpass' option for openvpn, if I'd like to give the pass to a certain vpn key by file?
[17:59] <phaidros> is that somewhere in /etc/default/openvpn possible or do I have to tweak the init script?
[18:04] <phaidros> ok, well. I have just put # askpass /path/to/file into the vpn.conf and that works :P
[18:08] <svschwartz> why whould server care about passwords in key files?
[18:08] <svschwartz> it is up to sysadmin to check this option, isn't is ?
[18:08] <svschwartz> it
[18:12] <phaidros> well. a server is in this case any machine that does routing between vpns. and there is a vpn partner is is not willing to give out keys without passes. therefor I have to give the pass to openvpn via config or script.
[18:12] <phaidros> config worked.
[18:12] <phaidros> nothing special here.
[18:16] <svschwartz> i see :) some time ago I was deploying openvpn too, and passes where keys for the certificates for the peers, so when one esteblishes vpn connection he was asked for password of this certain certificate. did i missed something?
[18:20] <svschwartz> phaidros: router between vpns? he must be peer for every vpn right ?
[18:20] <svschwartz> it
[18:20] <phaidros> yes, true
[18:21] <phaidros> we have large clouds of free community mesh networks and interconnect them via vpn
[18:21] <phaidros> to have fallback there is not only one vpn gateway between them :)
[18:22] <phaidros> maybe freifunk is a buzzword you know.
[18:22] <phaidros> berlin has 600 nodes, leipzig 500, weimar 200 .. and so on .. alot of free networks around germany
[18:23] <phaidros> I wonder something else .. why isn't tor updated to 1.2.18 in gutsy??
[18:23] <phaidros> there was a security update end of oct ..
[18:29] <phaidros> ok filed a bug
[19:32] <Nafallo> ScottK: (reading old mails) I don't have universe enabled because the my mailserver, but rather other things :-)
[19:33] <Nafallo> ScottK: oh right, I don't want to do spam or virus filtering though :-P
[19:55] <davidlondon> hi all, I am trying to setup a firewall/gateway -i have a 2 interface setup but cannot get internet sharing to work. If eth0 gets its ip address from the adsl router and the router's address is 198.162.1.1 so I set eth1 as the lan interface to 192.168.0.1 but it does not work
[20:33] <stiv2k> i dont understand why i transferring stuff to my server over SFTP (802.11g wireless) wont go any faster than like 680 KB/s
[21:34] <leonel> signal noise  + encryption + bandwidth
[21:49] <KurtKraut> How can I know how much traffic has passed thru a specific port to a specific host ?
[21:50] <ivoks> you need to install some monitoring tools
[21:51] <KurtKraut> ivoks, do have any tool name in mind ?
[21:51] <ivoks> ntop
[21:58] <Nafallo> iptables :-)
[23:15] <somerville32> sharewall
[23:15] <somerville32> or shorwall
[23:31] <m1r> evening
[23:32] <m1r> how can i bring up eth0 without assinging anything to it ?
[23:36] <nealmcb> m1r: tell us more about what you want to do
[23:38] <m1r> hi nealmcb , i need to bring eth0 up with only two options in /etc/network/interfaces , auto eth0
[23:39] <m1r> but all the time i get erros of ignoring card
[23:45] <m1r> on 7.04 server , i have similar setup and it is working, on 7.10 i have wlan0/eth0 , and i cant get eth0 up if i dont assign all atributes to it, and i would need to setit to start only with : auto eth0 ; and with no other config option
[23:56] <nealmcb> m1r: I still don't see what you're trying to do with the interface, or exactly what commands you're running or what errors you're getting
