AnRkeyI have a file called -v08:26
AnRkeyhow do i delete it?08:26
AnRkeywhen i use rm -v, the rm program things the -v is part of the command08:26
krautrm -rf \-v08:28
krautperhaps this works?08:28
AnRkeykraut, rm \ -v did it, thanks08:31
AnRkeyi had to put a space in though between the \ and the -v08:31
AnRkeysheesh, that drove me nuts08:31
AnRkey15min to delete a friggin file08:31
AnRkeyhappy new year08:32
krautAnRkey: anyhow, mc is a good tool to delete files with crappy names08:32
kraut--exclude= for example08:32
sorenAnRkey: If you needed a backslash there, it wasn't called "-v", but " -v"..08:33
sorenThe trouble with a file called "-v" is that it's interpreted as an option to rm. To delete a file called "-v", you can either "rm -- -v" or "rm ./-v".08:34
AnRkeythanks soren08:36
AnRkeykraut, mc is a nice tool08:36
AnRkeyi love mcedit08:38
krauti hate mcedit ;)08:40
AnRkeyi love the find/replace in mcedit08:48
AnRkeyfor when i am lazy08:48

CrummyGummyHi all-> I have on occasion foind that I've restarted heartbeat and new heartbeat process have been spawned without killing the old ones. This generally happens when things are going wrong and has caused a whole lot of problems, I have also found the same problems in my custom scripts. Has anyone here found something similar.10:25
CrummyGummy /foind/found/10:26
CrummyGummyK, I've been looking at the heartbeat script and its got nothing to do with the other scripts that I'm having trouble with.10:41
sergevnwhere is the Samba smbpasswd database stored?13:04
avatar_sergevn: afaik somewhere under /var/lib13:18
=== ember_ is now known as ember
sergevnHow is it possible to see the currently active users in that database?13:34
zulsergevn: pdbedit13:41
sergevnroot@manny:/var/lib/samba# pdbedit passdb.tdb -u serge13:45
sergevnserge:1000:Serge van Namen,,,13:45
sergevnSo there is no password set?13:45
sorensergevn: You can't say based on that.13:55
sorensergevn: Try pdbedit -L -v13:55
sorenEr...13:55
sorenNo.13:55
sorenI meant -L -w13:55
sergevnHmm the usernames are there, I have a clean ( i think ) samba configuration, but still those users get permission denied when they try to access the folder14:00
sorenDo they have access, you think?14:07
sergevnThere always needs to be an Unix users for each samba user correct?15:09
sorensergevn: The correct answer: no. The answer you're proably looking for: yes.15:21
sorensergevn: There are verious ways to work around the need, so in fact, it's not needed, but you really should either add Unix users to match the Samba ones or teach your Unix system to use Samba as a user db backend.15:22

pteague_workhmm... how do i change my server's hostname?19:15
nealmcbpteague that is a surprisingly complicated question :-)19:25
nealmcbit could mean dns, hostname, /etc/hosts, apache config, etc19:25
pteague_workthe hostname on the actual computer... but it seems the virtual server isn't liking whatever it has as a network card so guess i'm reinstalling anyways19:32
StuTheBeardedhi :)20:24
StuTheBeardedi was wondering if anyone could help me with a hard drive problem I can't find an answer too?20:25
StuTheBeardedthe problem is with the detecting of /dev/hdX, where my hard drives are labelled from hde not hda even though the primary disc is on the primary ide controller and the kernel is reporting it can't fine /dev/hde320:26
StuTheBeardeddev/hde3 should is /20:27
XiXaQis there any software package to install if you want to setup dynamic dns for a domain?21:39
jdstrandhi sommer21:55
jdstrandsommer: I sound an inaccuracy in https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/httpd.html21:56
sommerjdstrand: okay, which part?21:56
jdstrands/sound/found/21:56
jdstrand+CompatEnvVars should not be used:21:57
jdstrandSyntax error on line 11 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/strandboge.com_ssl:21:57
jdstrandSSLOptions: Illegal option 'CompatEnvVars'21:57
jdstrandheh-- you got a little more than I intended... :)21:57
sommerjdstrand: I wondered about those options myself... they are listed in the Apache docs21:58
jdstrandsommer: all the otehrs work fine21:58
* jdstrand wonders why he can't type...21:58
sommerjdstrand: do you know if they are really needed?21:58
sommerall of them that is21:58
sommerfrom my testing it works fine without that line, but I wasn't 100% sure21:59
jdstrandsommer: hold on...21:59
sommerjdstrand: standing by... heh22:00
jdstrandsommer: ok22:02
jdstrand+StrictRequire should definitely be there IMO22:02
jdstrandit makes sure that when using SSLRequireSSL that access is forbidden22:02
jdstrand(that is the intuitive use of SSLRequireSSL)22:03
jdstrandI am not sure FakeBasicAuth is a good default22:03
jdstrandit allows using a client cert instead of basic authentication if the client has a valid one22:04
jdstrandsommer: that is not an intuitive use IMO and would be site-specific22:04
sommerjdstrand: seems like most of those options are more advanced than what we're trying to document22:04
sommerjdstrand: I agree, should we just remove the SSLOptions line?22:05
jdstrandExportCertData seems harmless enough-- exports ssl environment variables so cgi can access them22:05
jdstrandit too seems site-specific22:05
jdstrandso really, all can go with no problems, but I really think +StrictRequire should stay22:06
sommerjdstrand: okay... works for me22:06
sommerI'll update it, thanks for the input22:07
jdstrandsommer: cool, so you'll fix that?22:07
jdstrandah great-- thanks!22:07
sommerit'll be for hardy anyway22:07
jdstrandsommer: should I come to you on this sort of thing in the future, or is there a package I can assign a bug to in LP?22:07
sommerjdstrand: works for me, but if you'd like to file a bug you can just assign it to the doc team22:09
jdstrandok thanks22:09
sommerthere is also the ubuntu-serverguide package22:09
sommerno problem, thank you22:09
jdstrandsommer: I'll file the bug to see if we can get the gutsy docs fixed, or at least errata'd22:10
sommercool... I'm not sure what the exact process for that is, but someone on the doc list will know I'm sure22:11
sommerit's probably the same as the SRU process... I'm thinking22:12
mathiazsommer: yes. ubuntu-serverguide being a package, the SRU process should applied to update the package for a stable release.22:19

macdmathiaz, off hand do you know who packages ruby in ubuntu? or is it just a upstream sync type of thing?23:48
mathiazmacd: it's a sync from debian IIRC.23:52
macdI'm wondering if we can jsut repackage mongrel to have the monglre cluster scripts in it already23:53
macdrather than having a package with literally 3 files in it23:53
mathiazmacd: are you refering to the meta-package with 3 files in it ?23:54
macdin your email you noted that a package for mongrel cluster was needed, which would be about 3 files, and anyone wanting to run more than a single mongrel isntance would want that, so why not make the base package include the cluster portions to manage the config/start/stop of mongrel23:56
mathiazmacd: Makes sense. (I'm not familiar with the mongrel package)23:59
mathiazmacd: could the mongrel_cluster init script replace the one shipped by mongrel ?23:59
