AnimortisCan anyone tell me how to get ProFTPD to start automatically on booting my system?01:02

AnimortisHi01:07
sorenI. HATE. CISCO. SWITCHES.03:15
sorenThat is all.03:15
sorenBye.03:15
sommerthanke, that's insightful03:16
sorenI mean... *really*, *really* hate.03:17
sommerhehe... you should form your rants into a form of monolouge like lamont does from time to time :)03:18
sorenI just spent 4 hours staring at iptables rules, scratching my head, wondering why the bloody thing wouldn't do what I told it to. It didn't make *any* sense.03:18
sorenWe ran out of ideas and rebooted the switch, and everything worked. Even the script we had 4 hours ago.03:19
sommerheh, ya it sucks when that kind of thing happens03:19
sorenI've *never* seen anything like it.03:20
sorenThe guy I'm working with here finally found it prudent to point out "Hm... That Cisco switch has done odd things before. Try rebooting it."03:20
sommerehehe, that's even worse, when someone might have known the solution sooner03:21
lamontsommer: always glad to entertain.04:22
xinelah hah here we go04:26
xinelthe server room :)04:27
xinelone question: if im setting up a postfix mail server do I also need to set up a dns caching server?04:27
xinelcheers04:27
sommerlamont: heh, it is... it is :)04:33
sommerxinel: nope not necessarily04:33
lamontxinel: totally separate questions.   no need to set one up04:34
xinelah i c04:34
xinelthen my postfix problems lie elsewhere04:35
xinelthanx everyone04:35
* xinel goes to do a whole lot more reading :P04:35
lamonthrm... if he was still here, I'd point out that resolv.conf does get copied into the chroot..04:55

n6rejanyone awake to help with a minor samba problem?08:05
n6rejI need to change my working smb.conf file so that users don't have to authenticate08:05
osmosiswhat is with the absolutely horrible JeOS documenation08:07
n6rejJeOS?08:08
osmosishttp://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/jeos.html08:08
n6rejosmosis: did you read the tutorial?08:10
osmosisn6rej: its not difficult..it just seems like bad examples.08:10
osmosisn6rej: but no biggy, i decided to stick with the standard server install anyways.08:11
n6rejosmosis: oh well its brand new so thats not surprising.... the docs for breezy and woody were pretty bad too08:11
osmosisn6rej: I was just being told before that JeOS is built for use with KVM, but I dont get this whole appliance thing the docs are talking about.08:11
n6rejosmosis: well an appliance is typically a function dedicated variant.08:12
n6rejosmosis: like my wrt54g is a "linux appliance".  Yes it runs linux, yes it CAN be updated, but it is dedicated to a specific function.08:12
n6rejosmosis: a car is an Appliance... it wouldn't make toast very well, but it will sure eat a hole in your wallet08:13
n6reji can't figure out why flyspray won't show me the upload attachments settings08:17
n6rejgod I hate when I'm stupid08:17
n6rejcan anyone tell me why "ntpdate pool.ntp.org" in cron.daily/ntpdate doesn't work?08:35
incorrecthello, what is the choice ftp server these days?13:59
krautincorrect: vsftp is nice, but proftpd also14:07
krautdepends on yourself14:07
incorrecti've used vsftp for a long time14:08
incorrecthowever these things go in and out of favour14:08

nxvlsommer: you need me to test or not anymore?19:06
