[01:02] <Animortis> Can anyone tell me how to get ProFTPD to start automatically on booting my system?
[01:05] <emgent> heya
[01:07] <Animortis> Hi
[03:15] <soren> I. HATE. CISCO. SWITCHES.
[03:15] <soren> That is all.
[03:15] <soren> Bye.
[03:16] <sommer> thanke, that's insightful
[03:17] <soren> I mean... *really*, *really* hate.
[03:18] <sommer> hehe... you should form your rants into a form of monolouge like lamont does from time to time :)
[03:18] <soren> I 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.
[03:19] <soren> We ran out of ideas and rebooted the switch, and everything worked. Even the script we had 4 hours ago.
[03:19] <sommer> heh, ya it sucks when that kind of thing happens
[03:20] <soren> I've *never* seen anything like it.
[03:20] <soren> The 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."
[03:21] <sommer> ehehe, that's even worse, when someone might have known the solution sooner
[04:22] <lamont> sommer: always glad to entertain.
[04:26] <xinel> ah hah here we go
[04:27] <xinel> the server room :)
[04:27] <xinel> one question: if im setting up a postfix mail server do I also need to set up a dns caching server?
[04:27] <xinel> cheers
[04:33] <sommer> lamont: heh, it is... it is :)
[04:33] <sommer> xinel: nope not necessarily
[04:34] <lamont> xinel: totally separate questions.   no need to set one up
[04:34] <xinel> ah i c
[04:35] <xinel> then my postfix problems lie elsewhere
[04:35] <xinel> thanx everyone
[04:35]  * xinel goes to do a whole lot more reading :P
[04:55] <lamont> hrm... if he was still here, I'd point out that resolv.conf does get copied into the chroot..
[04:56] <lamont> oh well.
[06:27] <fairyeneried> hello
[06:28] <fairyeneried> hola forces XD
[06:28] <fairyeneried> i need help configuring a graphic interface to a small server
[06:28] <fairyeneried> somebody can help me?
[06:28] <forces> fairyeneried, hi!
[06:28] <forces> only english here
[06:29] <fairyeneried> yes i can see
[06:30] <fairyeneried> only english and a channel
[06:30] <fairyeneried> nobody here?
[08:05] <n6rej> anyone awake to help with a minor samba problem?
[08:05] <n6rej> I need to change my working smb.conf file so that users don't have to authenticate
[08:07] <osmosis> what is with the absolutely horrible JeOS documenation
[08:08] <n6rej> JeOS?
[08:08] <osmosis> http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/jeos.html
[08:10] <n6rej> osmosis: did you read the tutorial?
[08:10] <osmosis> n6rej: its not difficult..it just seems like bad examples.
[08:11] <osmosis> n6rej: but no biggy, i decided to stick with the standard server install anyways.
[08:11] <n6rej> osmosis: oh well its brand new so thats not surprising.... the docs for breezy and woody were pretty bad too
[08:11] <osmosis> n6rej: 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.
[08:12] <n6rej> osmosis: well an appliance is typically a function dedicated variant.
[08:12] <n6rej> osmosis: like my wrt54g is a "linux appliance".  Yes it runs linux, yes it CAN be updated, but it is dedicated to a specific function.
[08:13] <n6rej> osmosis: a car is an Appliance... it wouldn't make toast very well, but it will sure eat a hole in your wallet
[08:17] <n6rej> i can't figure out why flyspray won't show me the upload attachments settings
[08:17] <n6rej> god I hate when I'm stupid
[08:35] <n6rej> can anyone tell me why "ntpdate pool.ntp.org" in cron.daily/ntpdate doesn't work?
[13:59] <incorrect> hello, what is the choice ftp server these days?
[14:07] <kraut> incorrect: vsftp is nice, but proftpd also
[14:07] <kraut> depends on yourself
[14:08] <incorrect> i've used vsftp for a long time
[14:08] <incorrect> however these things go in and out of favour
[14:40]  * delcoyote hi
[18:49] <sommer> hey all, just wondering if anyone was working on bug 175689
[18:49] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 175689 in samba ""Share Folder" in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders" [Low,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/175689
[18:50] <sommer> I'm setting up a test environment at the moment, dapper sharing some ntfs folders on a second drive > will then upgrade to hardy... just fyi ;)
[18:50] <sommer> nxvl: have time to check it out also?
[18:58] <sommer> woops, after reading the other bug, it's mostly fixed :)
[19:00] <Syntux> Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to use ubuntu-server as a home server to route the internet and have a users/groups for internet access, limit the bandwidth to certain groups?
[19:06] <nxvl> sommer: you need me to test or not anymore?
[19:09] <sommer> nxvl: I don't think so, if you look at Bug #214714 comment 4, slangasek mentions that part of the bug is solved
[19:09] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 214714 in samba "Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message (dup-of: 175689)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/214714
[19:09] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 175689 in samba ""Share Folder" in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders" [Low,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/175689
[19:09] <nxvl> sommer: :D
[19:09] <sommer> nxvl: I think I'm going to give it a test though, since I've just finished installing Dapper :)
[19:10] <nxvl> i'm working now on Bug #202508
[19:10] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 202508 in openssh "ssh -X no longer works" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/202508
[19:10] <nxvl> sommer: i have a dapper install already
[19:10] <nxvl> :P
[19:10] <sommer> and it kind of relates to the Samba doc work I've been doing in the wiki
[19:10] <sommer> nxvl: ah, cool that bug is probably a good one to solve before release
[19:11] <nxvl> i was working on Bug #189616 so i have a virtual dapper here
[19:11] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 189616 in dovecot "connection problems under load with hardy dovecot" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/189616
[19:11] <nxvl> so if you need me to test it, just ping me
[19:11] <nxvl> i have everything here to test, even a ntfs partition
[19:11] <sommer> nxvl: cool, thanks I'll give it a try and let you know
[19:11] <nxvl> :D
[19:11]  * nxvl HUGS sommer 
[20:10] <AnRkey> i am having problems connecting to my imap server with outlook express
[20:10] <AnRkey> thunderbird is fine though
[20:10] <AnRkey> is there something i should know about OE?
[20:10] <sommer> AnRkey: are you using dovecot?
[20:10] <AnRkey> yes
[20:11] <sommer> AnRkey: I think there is an option you need
[20:11] <AnRkey> i get this in OE
[20:11] <AnRkey>    Account: 192.9.201.4
[20:11] <AnRkey>    Server: 192.9.201.4
[20:11] <AnRkey>    User name: jmitchell
[20:11] <AnRkey>    Protocol: IMAP
[20:11] <AnRkey>    Port: 143
[20:11] <AnRkey>    Secure(SSL): 0
[20:11] <AnRkey>    Code: 800ccc03
[20:12] <AnRkey> you have any clue as to what the option is?
[20:12] <AnRkey> or how to find it
[20:12] <sommer> AnRkey: try uncommenting this if you haven't in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle
[20:12] <sommer> you'll need to restart dovecot after chaning the config
[20:12] <sommer> er changing
[20:14] <AnRkey> same problem
[20:14] <AnRkey> and they refuse to use thunderbird
[20:15] <AnRkey> i wish i had something to work with
[20:15] <sommer> AnRkey: which release are you using?
[20:17] <AnRkey> it's a windows 2k server
[20:17] <AnRkey> i have oe 6 and tb2 on it
[20:18] <AnRkey> the server is ubuntu 7.10
[20:20] <sommer> AnRkey: are you using maildir or mbox?
[20:23] <sommer> AnRkey: you might check out this post: http://my.brandeis.edu/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0001es
[20:23] <AnRkey> maildir
[20:23] <sommer> AnRkey: if you search on the error code 800cc03, there are a lot of hits in google
[20:24] <AnRkey> i have been working through them
[20:24] <sommer> ah, ya it seems to me to be some OE weirdness
[20:30] <AnRkey> it's driving me nuts
[20:30] <AnRkey> i have to have this working soon too
[21:11] <Kirok> Anyone good with IT law, I'm basically wondering if theres a definitive right or wrong answer to this http://angrygeek.org/cw3-08a.doc or if its about your individual argument.
[21:47] <ScottK> Kirok: I think it's about doing your own homework.
[22:10] <AnRkey> and I just got asked to leave the installation
