bimberi | The_Kernel: Not sure about the denied login. It could be in the sshd configuration on that server. Or /etc/hosts.[allow|deny] | 01:23 |

Litefire | morning all | 09:47 |
Litefire | i am having a little trouble with my server instal recognizing a sata2 hd | 09:48 |
Litefire | i have an ibm 330 server i installed ubuntu on and cant seem to figure it out when i start it up i get ata2: srst failed errno-16 for the data hd | 09:49 |
Litefire | the raid that ubuntu is installed on starts up fine but the sata2 drive i have attached to a pci card isnt discoverable from what i can figure out | 09:50 |
osmosis | anyone know if it is possible to do a raid 10 with software raid? | 09:51 |
_ruben | osmosis: yes .. there's a raid10 kmod .. or you could do it 'manually' with raid1 and raid0 | 09:52 |
osmosis | _ruben: is it reliable? | 09:53 |
osmosis | _ruben: can you recommend some instructions ? | 09:53 |
_ruben | the basics are as simple as : sudo mdadm --build /dev/md0 --level=10 -- raid-devices=4 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 | 09:56 |
_ruben | oops, kill the space between -- and raid-devices | 09:56 |
_ruben | the installer doesnt support raid10, so if you want to install the system to raid10, you'll have to drop down to a shell during the install to give that command | 09:56 |
_ruben | and reliable, well, the raid10 kmod is one of there newer raid kmods, so hasnt aged as much as plain raid1+0, but offers some nice enhancements as well (like doing raid10 over 3 disks for example) | 09:58 |

* NineTeen67Comet sudo aptitude install smartmontools = exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light liblockfile1 mailx | 12:43 | |
ikonia | nealmcb: it just needs an mta | 12:45 |
ikonia | oops | 12:45 |
ikonia | NineTeen67Comet: it just needs an mta | 12:45 |
NineTeen67Comet | aha .. no mail on this server, but I guess it can just use it as it pleases .. | 12:45 |
* NineTeen67Comet would have e-mail if me isp would crack the ports open .. | 12:46 | |
ikonia | NineTeen67Comet: let it install exim and then use local mail only | 12:46 |

cjsstables | hello all. I can't resolve internal names on my network. I'm able to resolve external names. If I do a lookup on my internal nameserver I get an SOA record for prisoner.iana.org. Can someone help here | 12:53 |
cjsstables | btw I used lookup with an ip address of my name server | 12:53 |
ikonia | cjsstables: ok - so if your domain is "domain1" your saying you can't resolve box1.domain1 | 13:10 |
cjsstables | that's correct | 13:10 |
cjsstables | but I can resolve anything on the outside | 13:10 |
ikonia | cjsstables: ok - so have you setup your own domain zone file ? | 13:12 |
ikonia | cjsstables: are you using anything like views ? | 13:12 |
cjsstables | no views. I have dns forwarding zone | 13:13 |
ikonia | cjsstables: so where is the domain your wanting to resolve kept | 13:14 |
cjsstables | dns server addy is 192.168.0.1, lynksys router is 192.168.0.2 | 13:14 |
ikonia | ok - but where is your domain zone file ? | 13:15 |
cjsstables | it is kept on 192.168.0.1 / srv1.soho.cjs | 13:15 |
cjsstables | internal private network | 13:15 |
ikonia | cjsstables: ok, so if you do nslookup server=192.168.0.1 then "box1.soho.cjs" does it respond ? | 13:16 |
ikonia | cjsstables: do you have "ns" lines in your one file ? | 13:16 |
ikonia | zone | 13:16 |
cjsstables | hold on | 13:17 |
cjsstables | nslookup srv1.soho.cjs | 13:17 |
cjsstables | Server: 192.168.0.1 | 13:17 |
cjsstables | Address: 192.168.0.1#53 | 13:17 |
cjsstables | ** server can't find srv1.soho.cjs: NXDOMAIN | 13:17 |
ikonia | cjsstables: no - type nslookup | 13:18 |
ikonia | cjsstables: then do server=192.168.0.1 | 13:18 |
ikonia | cjsstables: then do serv1.soho.cjs | 13:18 |
ikonia | oops srv1.soho.cjs | 13:18 |
ikonia | just want to check it step by step | 13:19 |
ikonia | (I appriciate thats the same as your output) | 13:19 |
cjsstables | server=192.168.0.1 | 13:19 |
cjsstables | Server: 192.168.0.1 | 13:19 |

cjsstables | > srv1.soho.cjs | 13:19 |
cjsstables | Server: 192.168.0.1 | 13:19 |
ikonia | cjsstables: does your zone file contain ns records, does it have an entry for srv1 | 13:19 |
cjsstables | Address: 192.168.0.1#53 | 13:19 |
cjsstables | ** server can't find srv1.soho.cjs: NXDOMAIN | 13:19 |
cjsstables | yes it has an entry for srv1 | 13:19 |
ikonia | server=192.168.0.1 ; ** server can't find server=192.168.0.1: NXDOMAIN | 13:20 |
ikonia | thats worrying | 13:20 |
ikonia | does your zone file have ns lines ? | 13:20 |
cjsstables | what are ns lines? | 13:20 |
ikonia | cjsstables: the say the name servers for the zone | 13:20 |
cjsstables | I can't answer that i'll have to look. | 13:21 |
cjsstables | where do I look at? | 13:21 |
cjsstables | I have webmin installed to administer the name server | 13:21 |
ikonia | ughhh webmin | 13:21 |
ikonia | and this is me backing away | 13:21 |
cjsstables | its ok. i can use command line also | 13:22 |
ikonia | cjsstables: I can't support products with webmind - it's the devils tool | 13:22 |
ikonia | cjsstables: webmin changes the way things can work | 13:22 |
cjsstables | so do you want me to open bind.conf | 13:23 |
ikonia | not really | 13:23 |
ikonia | I wanted you to look at your zone file for "NS" entries | 13:23 |
ikonia | but it certainly wouldn't hurt to look if your bind.conf file contains an entry for your domain either | 13:24 |
ikonia | that way you can see where it expects the zone file to be | 13:24 |
cjsstables | ok. | 13:24 |
cjsstables | brb | 13:24 |
cjsstables | exit | 13:24 |
cjsstables | oops.. sorry | 13:24 |
cjsstables | ikonia: my named conf doesn't point to any zones. looks like the zones are included through named.conf.options | 13:27 |
ikonia | cjsstables: ok - so follow that through | 13:28 |
cjsstables | k brb | 13:28 |
cjsstables | ok. in my named.conf.local I have the following zone | 13:31 |
cjsstables | zone "soho.cjs" { | 13:31 |
cjsstables | type master; | 13:31 |
cjsstables | file "/etc/bind/soho.cjs.hosts"; | 13:31 |
cjsstables | }; | 13:31 |
sommer | morning all | 13:34 |
jjesse | morning sommer | 13:35 |
ikonia | cjsstables: ok, do you have /etc/bind/soho.cjs.hosts | 13:35 |
cjsstables | ikonia: inside my soho.cjs.hosts file I have a SOA record for srv1.soho.cjs | 13:35 |
ikonia | cjsstables: ok, I suggest you put an NS line in | 13:35 |
ikonia | cjsstables: I'm worried at why nslookup; server=192.168.0.1 tried to resolve server= rather than set the server to be used | 13:36 |
cjsstables | ok . there is an ns line for srv1.soho.cjs and an A record for 192.168.0.1 | 13:36 |
cjsstables | what bothers me is this line.....soho.cjs. IN SOA srv1.soho.cjs. cjsadmin.soho.cjs. ( | 13:37 |
cjsstables | because there is no machine anywhere called cjsadmin.soho.cjs | 13:38 |
cjsstables | cjsadmin is actually a username on the server | 13:38 |
cjsstables | ikonia: can I instant message you? | 13:42 |
ikonia | cjsstables: I'm not signed into one at the moment, sorry | 13:42 |
ikonia | cjsstables: don't worry about the cjsadmin.soho.cjs. line | 13:43 |
cjsstables | ok | 13:43 |
ikonia | cjsstables: can you pastebin the zone file please ? | 13:44 |
cjsstables | youl'll have to re-instruct me on using pastebin. i forget how to use it. | 13:44 |
cjsstables | is it pastbin.org or com | 13:45 |
cjsstables | actually. I'll paste all of my bind config files | 13:47 |
=== mdz_ is now known as mdz | ||
cjsstables | ikonia: ok named.conf...http://pastebin.com/m648cf8b9 | 13:49 |
ikonia | no - the zone file | 13:50 |
cjsstables | which one would that be? | 13:50 |
ikonia | the one with cjsadmin.soho.cjs line in it | 13:50 |
cjsstables | ok... | 13:50 |
cjsstables | Ikonia: http://pastebin.com/d4728359f | 13:51 |
ikonia | cjsstables: did you incriment the serial when you changed it ? | 13:52 |
cjsstables | yes | 13:52 |
cjsstables | I sent a whole new pastebin | 13:52 |
ikonia | cjsstables: no the serial on the zone file | 13:52 |
cjsstables | then no I didn't. I haven't changed it at all | 13:53 |
ikonia | but you did add the "NS" line ? | 13:55 |
cjsstables | no. those ns and a records were already there | 13:55 |
ikonia | oh right | 13:55 |
ikonia | thats odd | 13:55 |
ikonia | cjsstables: I suggest you restart bind, look at the file /var/log/messages and check out if it loadds your file ok | 13:55 |
cjsstables | ok | 13:56 |
cjsstables | brb | 13:56 |
cjsstables | ikonia: looking at the message log I show no messages since last boot at7:22 am. (Oh I did restart the bind9 server like you said) | 13:59 |
cjsstables | is there any other log that I can look at for bind errors? | 14:00 |
ikonia | you see no updates on restarting bind ? | 14:01 |
cjsstables | nope. none | 14:01 |
ikonia | thats worrying you should at least see bind shutdown / start time stamps | 14:01 |
cjsstables | ok I'll look again | 14:02 |
cjsstables | ikonia: sorry... I thought messages were listed latest first. hold on while I page to the bottom of the file | 14:04 |
ikonia | no problem | 14:07 |
cjsstables | ikonia: believe it or not there are no other entries in the log after June 2 08:45 | 14:08 |
ikonia | I do believe it, but that is quite worrying | 14:08 |
cjsstables | why? | 14:08 |
ikonia | there should be a time stamp for bind stopping and starting | 14:08 |
cjsstables | . I have rebooted multiple times since 8:45 also. no of those are in there either | 14:09 |
cjsstables | unless Jun 2 08:45:53 srv1 -- MARK -- is a valid entry for reboot | 14:09 |
cjsstables | I'll restart bind again and see if the messages is updated | 14:11 |
cjsstables | ikonia: I did a restart on bind, and there was no new entry.... | 14:13 |
ikonia | cjsstables: one moment | 14:14 |
cjsstables | k | 14:14 |
ikonia | cjsstables: thats my mistake - bind in ubuntu doesn't log | 14:15 |
ikonia | cjsstables: I may log that as an enchancment | 14:15 |
cjsstables | wheh... I was worrying | 14:15 |
cjsstables | it is funny. I am ssh'ing into the server with ssh cjsadmin@192.168.0.1, I then sudo su, and my terminal window from my client shows root@srv1.soho.cjs | 14:17 |
ikonia | cjsstables: sudo su ??? | 14:18 |
ikonia | cjsstables: you shouldn't be doing that | 14:18 |
ikonia | cjsstables: your client name is probably being picked up form your host file resoution | 14:19 |
cjsstables | I know, but I'm not on a production environment yet and also on a private net right now | 14:19 |
cjsstables | one other bit of info when logged onto the server, I can ping srv1 and get resulst returned. | 14:21 |
cjsstables | ping soho.cjs | 14:21 |
cjsstables | returns no host found | 14:21 |
cjsstables | ping srv1.soho.cjs returns good results | 14:22 |
cjsstables | so the server itself is resolving names to ip's | 14:22 |
cjsstables | but my clients cannot resolve names to ip on the local net | 14:23 |
ikonia | cjsstables: and your using the FQD on your clients ? | 14:24 |
cjsstables | yes | 14:24 |
ikonia | cjsstables: have you setup the recersive permissions correctly (they should be ok by default for SOA zones) | 14:24 |
cjsstables | I don't think there is a reverse zone ...I don't know what recursive permissions are | 14:25 |
ikonia | you don't need reverse zone | 14:31 |
cjsstables | ikonia: should I have a file called soho.cjs.db in my /etc/bind/ directory? because I don't. the only thing I have is a db.0 | 14:32 |
ikonia | cjsstables: thats normally a cache file (I don't have an ubuntu server to hand to verify this, hence why I'm working from memory) | 14:32 |
cjsstables | ah ok. | 14:32 |
cjsstables | ikonia: I found a how to to manually create a caching name server in ubuntu. I'm going to stop dns and rebuild using that. | 14:36 |
cjsstables | hopefully that works | 14:36 |
ikonia | caching name server isn't for hosting zones | 14:36 |
cjsstables | no but it will still allow me to resolve local IP's won't it? | 14:36 |
cjsstables | oops local names... | 14:37 |
_ruben | no, only non-local ones | 14:37 |
ikonia | cjsstables: your problem is that your box doesn't seem aware that it's hosting the domain | 14:40 |
cjsstables | it looks as though this how to has a revers lookup file that has named.conf.local that specifies the zone | 14:40 |
cjsstables | and then referes to a reverse zone | 14:40 |
cjsstables | also has the forwarders in it | 14:40 |
ikonia | cjsstables: ahhhhh I have it | 14:41 |
cjsstables | ok... | 14:41 |
ikonia | cjsstables: your server can do it because it's doing the lookup locally | 14:41 |
cjsstables | ok | 14:42 |
cjsstables | makes sense | 14:42 |
ikonia | your clients hit the box - get forwarded on, but the NS record is 192.168.0.1, which is non-routable so routes to no-where | 14:42 |
Libertine- | hi | 14:42 |
ikonia | cjsstables: take the forward of that zone | 14:42 |
cjsstables | you mean remove the forwarding part | 14:42 |
ikonia | on that domain | 14:43 |
ikonia | so that it knows its local to the box | 14:43 |
cjsstables | hold on I gotta think though this a sec.... | 14:44 |
cjsstables | and recall what file holds the forarder | 14:44 |
cjsstables | ikonia: Ok I'm lost. | 14:47 |
ikonia | cjsstables: one moment | 14:47 |
ikonia | I'm going to see if I can gain access to an ubuntu box from where I am | 14:47 |
cjsstables | ok | 14:47 |

mathiaz | sommer: is there anything about nss-ldap and how to setup an ubuntu client to use an ldap server instead of NIS in the docs ? | 18:34 |
sommer | mathiaz: nope, not in the serverguide, but there are some good guides in help.u.c | 18:39 |
timboy | ssh stopped working on my my main computer... when I try to connect it says connection refused... | 18:39 |
sommer | mathiaz: expanding the LDAP section is on the list for Intrepid though :) | 18:40 |
timboy | i removed it with apt-get remove and reinstalled it but still no go... is there something else I should look at? | 18:41 |
sommer | timboy: is the sshd service running? | 18:42 |
timboy | sommer, in /etc/init.d/ there is no ssh there is ssh though | 18:44 |
timboy | i restarted it and it said ok but still says refused | 18:45 |
sommer | timboy: try ps -ef | grep sshd, and see if it gives you some process numbers | 18:45 |
sommer | timboy: you could also try ssh -vvv hostname, to give more debugging output | 18:45 |
timboy | root 25684 1 10:50 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd | 18:46 |
timboy | same message. connection refused no more useful data | 18:47 |
timboy | not running a firewall | 18:47 |
sommer | timboy: did you use the -vvv option? you might also check /var/log/auth.log on the server | 18:48 |
timboy | sommer, in /var/lob/auth.log it says error: bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: address already in use. I'm sure that's from when I restarted ssh | 18:49 |
timboy | so something is already using ssh port? | 18:49 |
sommer | timboy: you might have another service running on that port then | 18:49 |
timboy | ok how do I tell | 18:49 |
blue-frog | mathiaz: very simple. install ldap-auth-client, make sure you enter the ldap admin passord during conf, run: sudo auth-client-config -a -p lac_ldap, change bind_policy hard by bind_policy soft in /etc/ldap.conf and off you go | 18:49 |
sommer | timboy: I'd try sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop, and then ps -ef | grep ssh to make sure all the process are stopped | 18:50 |
timboy | 6583 6545 0 may 30 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent x-session-manager | 18:51 |
timboy | sommer, what's that mean? | 18:55 |
timboy | can someone help me troubleshoot my ssh issues? | 18:59 |
timboy | something appears to be hogging port 22... | 19:00 |
sommer | timboy: is that ssh-agent running on the server? | 19:04 |
timboy | i don't know... it's in my init.d directory | 19:05 |
timboy | ok nevermind it's not in my init.d directory | 19:07 |
sommer | timboy: which machine did you run find the process on? the one you're trying to connect to or the machine you're trying to connect from? | 19:07 |
sommer | timboy: I'd try restarting ssh on the machine you're trying to connect to | 19:07 |
timboy | the one i'm trying to connect to | 19:07 |
timboy | i've done that several times though... | 19:08 |
sommer | timboy: are there any errors in /var/log/syslog after you restart ssh? | 19:09 |
timboy | no just the error I get in auth.log | 19:10 |
timboy | i just purged the ssh and openssh-server programs with aptitude and reinstalled them and no go. so there is something else using port 22 | 19:11 |
ScottK | timboy: Does netstat list anything? | 19:12 |
sommer | can you pastebin the output of ssh -vvv servername ? replacing servername with the host you're trying to connect to | 19:12 |
timboy | sommer, http://rafb.net/p/2yFLIv70.html | 19:16 |
sommer | timboy: have you upgraded both the server and the client... it may be because of the week sshkey issue | 19:18 |
timboy | not upgraded client but have upgraded server... | 19:19 |
timboy | sommer, I can't even do ssh localhost | 19:20 |
sommer | timboy: as ScottK said try netstat -a and see what is listening | 19:21 |
timboy | sommer, doesn't appear that anything is... | 19:23 |
sommer | and you still get the error about something already listening on port 22? | 19:24 |
timboy | yes | 19:25 |
timboy | weird | 19:25 |
sommer | hrrmmm, maybe try restarting... that'll be sure and stop all the services | 19:25 |
timboy | ok... | 19:26 |
sommer | timboy: you might also try setting the LogLevel attribute in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to DEBUG, to produce more output | 19:27 |
timboy | sommer, still no go | 19:45 |
timboy | ssh localhost is working but in my auth.log i still get the error about binding to port 22 | 19:45 |
timboy | sommer, took so long because i had the joyous fsck check | 19:46 |
sommer | timboy: you might also try setting the LogLevel attribute in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to DEBUG, to produce more output | 19:48 |
sommer | timboy: netstat -nlp may reveal more about which process are using which ports | 19:50 |
timboy | sommer, shows nothing with port 22 in netstat | 19:51 |
timboy | actually now it's showing up hold on | 19:52 |
sommer | timboy: and sshd is running? you should see output from ps -ef | grep sshd listing a proces number | 19:53 |
timboy | sommer, ok purged it again!@ and now it doesn't show up... | 19:54 |
sommer | timboy: so try starting it again (/etc/init.d/ssh start) | 19:55 |
sommer | timboy: can you pastebin the output of ps -ef ? after trying to start ssh | 19:56 |
timboy | i'll need to install it again | 19:56 |
sommer | yep you'll need openssh-server installed in order to connect | 19:57 |
timboy | root 14604 1 0 12:02 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd | 19:57 |
timboy | Jun 2 12:02:25 ubuntu sshd[14604]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use. | 19:57 |
timboy | is this because i'm installing both ssh and openssh-server? | 19:57 |
timboy | what's weird is that it says it is running but at the same time tells me that it can't bind to port 22. same PID | 19:58 |
timboy | I can do ssh localhost now though | 19:58 |
dena_ | sommer, about to reformat... | 20:03 |
=== dena_ is now known as timboy_ | ||
nealmcb | . o O (timboy needs to run sudo netstat -ltp to find out who has the port open) | 20:47 |
=== emgent_ is now known as emgent | ||
genii | Is there some CLI update-notifier? Aside from the obvious way of just running something like apt-get update or such that is. | 21:07 |
blue-frog | genii: what is your need? | 21:14 |
InsomniaCity | genii: I'd imagine apt has exit codes or something for non-interative operation | 21:15 |
InsomniaCity | *interactive | 21:15 |
genii | blue-frog: Basically to have the CLI equivelent of update-notifier feauture which exists otherwise. | 21:17 |
genii | When run unattended perhaps to email admin of which are available | 21:18 |
blue-frog | as I don't know if it exits (certainly es) I would use a workaround myself, apt-get update && apt-get -s dist-upgrade and email the result (or log) | 21:19 |
blue-frog | email upon conditions, only if one of the result has something else than 0 in (0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded) | 21:20 |
blue-frog | well at least 0 upgraded in fact | 21:21 |
osmosis | whats the alternative CD for ? | 21:22 |
blue-frog | install GUI Ubuntu | 21:22 |
osmosis | blue-frog: for server ? | 21:23 |
blue-frog | well if you want a GUI server | 21:24 |
blue-frog | but more for desktop | 21:24 |
blue-frog | genii: have a look at man apt-get. what about the -u option? | 21:26 |
Erosion | Just installed ubuntu server, is there a guide about what I should install when I first get it? | 21:28 |
blue-frog | I would say that only you know what service you want. | 21:29 |
blue-frog | genii: or maybe apt-show-versions -u | 21:31 |
genii | Hmm, perhaps download-only with -u then pipe that to a file which emails off | 21:31 |
genii | You'd think there might be a simpler way though | 21:31 |
blue-frog | in that case -s would be enough, no need to download | 21:32 |
Erosion | Isn't there a guide, showing the best software for FTP, Web Server, Mail Server etc | 21:32 |
Erosion | In ubuntu server when I hit the <-- KEY, (backspace), it treats it like I've hit the DEL Key, and removes the character infront (instead of behind) | 21:33 |
blue-frog | genii: apt-show-versions from universe looks nice | 21:36 |
genii | blue-frog: I'm formulating a plan in which if already downloaded, a return email may be parsed and packages indicated there upgraded | 21:36 |
blue-frog | yes yes understood, apt-show-versions -u will list all the upgradeable packages | 21:37 |
blue-frog | and apprently exit 0 if none | 21:37 |
lukehasnoname | erosion: | 21:37 |
lukehasnoname | During install you should have been prompted on what type of server you wanted, then it would install the latest supported software for that task | 21:38 |
lukehasnoname | It's possible to bring up that menu again, but I don't know the command. | 21:38 |
blue-frog | tasksel | 21:38 |
lukehasnoname | boosh | 21:38 |
Erosion | Is there any way of getting into my remote ubuntu-server located in the US, from my iMac in the UK? | 21:41 |
Erosion | Apart from SSH. | 21:41 |
blue-frog | magic? | 21:43 |
nealmcb | erosio | 21:43 |
JanC | Erosion: there are a zillion ways, but you have to prepare them before you leave of course ツ | 21:43 |
nealmcb | ...oops | 21:43 |
Erosion | JanC: You cannot do it in SSH? | 21:44 |
Erosion | I have root SSH access to it from here | 21:44 |
JanC | so, then you can install anything you want I guess, but what's the problem if SSH works ? | 21:44 |
nealmcb | look at the options available with the "tasksel" command | 21:44 |
Erosion | JanC: I'd like to be able to view the desktop, so I get the full environment. | 21:45 |
nealmcb | vnc? | 21:46 |
Erosion | What's the quickest way? | 21:46 |
Erosion | Through an iMac? | 21:46 |
nealmcb | !servergui | 21:46 |
ubottu | Ubuntu server does not install a desktop environment or X11 by default in order to enhance security, efficiency and performance. !eBox provides a GUI system management option via a web interface. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI for more background and options. | 21:46 |
blue-frog | Erosion: have you installed a server or desktop? | 21:46 |
Erosion | Server | 21:46 |
Erosion | I run OSX here though | 21:46 |
Erosion | Is it possible? | 21:47 |
JanC | run X through ssh -X / ssh -Y or run VNC through ssh or ssl ? | 21:47 |
blue-frog | then to do what you want you would need to install a GUI first | 21:47 |
JanC | well, at least the X libs... | 21:47 |
blue-frog | otherwise with ssh you already see the the full environment | 21:47 |
JanC | and some X client programs | 21:48 |
Erosion | OK | 21:48 |
JanC | Erosion: why do you need a GUI? | 21:49 |
Erosion | Was just a thought, it's not necessary, JanC | 21:52 |
Erosion | What does this mean?: Package libmysqlclient12-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 21:54 |
JanC | it means what it says... | 21:55 |
lukehasnoname | Does Xen have any sort of GUI for administration or any formal manual that discusses remote administration? | 21:56 |
JanC | libmysqlclient12 is actually pretty old ? | 21:56 |
nealmcb | lukehasnoname: virt-manager does xen | 21:56 |
Erosion | JanC: Just got it from a guide. | 21:57 |
lukehasnoname | k | 21:58 |
JanC | Erosion: I guess that's a guide tah twasn't updated for Ubuntu 8.04 | 21:58 |
lukehasnoname | nealmcb thanks | 21:58 |
kirkland | kees: hey, you around? | 21:58 |
kees | kirkland: yup, what's goin' on? | 21:58 |
JanC | 'libmysqlclient12-dev' was in dapper & edgy | 21:59 |
kirkland | kees: hey, was wondering if you might give another spec a once-over | 21:59 |
kees | sure, url? | 21:59 |
JanC | Erosion: you can probably just use the latest libmysqlclient library? | 22:00 |
kirkland | kees: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 22:00 |
kirkland | kees: I tried to follow your use case examples more closely in this spec | 22:05 |
lukehasnoname | sounds interesting | 22:06 |
lukehasnoname | I don't know enough to judge how complicated it would be to implement an encrypted fs like that | 22:07 |
kees | kirkland: on a nit-pick, use case 3 seems entirely addressed by DAC (remote users). Not sure how to improve that one, since case 4 seems more compelling (local users). Also, I would recommend discussion of how it relates to the xdg-user-dirs package (see /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults). Does it perhaps belong in there? I'd like to see (maybe with another use-case) the option for people to NOT have to have an encrypt ~/Private (i.e. I trust DAC e | 22:07 |
lukehasnoname | I've always thought that at minimum a 700 folder should be in each uer's dir | 22:07 |
kirkland | kees: so the only difference between 3 and 4 I intended (in my mind anyway) was SSH logins versus Desktop logins | 22:09 |
kirkland | kees: and by Desktop, I even mean Remote Desktop or VNC connections | 22:09 |
kirkland | kees: graphical vs. command line only | 22:09 |
kirkland | lukehasnoname: thanks. | 22:10 |
emgent | heya | 22:10 |
kirkland | kees: so with respect to 3 & 4, this gives you some cryptographic protection of your data (in addition to DAC) when you're not logged into the system, and a whole lot of protection if someone steals the physical hardware and it's powered off | 22:11 |
kees | kirkland: perhaps add the "stolen hardware" bit? just to help defend it. :) | 22:11 |
kees | kirkland: what do you think of the "allow people to not have an encrypted mount point" option? | 22:12 |
kirkland | kees: physical abduction of a server is of course unlikely in any major corporate environment; but small to medium business, say a mom-and-pop shop or a dentist office.... | 22:12 |
kirkland | kees: yeah, i think that's a good idea | 22:12 |
kirkland | kees: i will definitely add that one | 22:12 |
kirkland | kees: give me a moment to think on that one......... | 22:12 |
kees | kirkland: cool. yeah, for theft, I think it's a valuable use-case, so it's good to highlight it. :) | 22:12 |
kirkland | kees: so i was planning on handling this as an "Opt-In" in adduser | 22:13 |
kirkland | "Do you want an encrypted ~/Private directory for this user?" | 22:13 |
kees | kirkland: oh! even better. | 22:13 |
kees | I'd like to see ~/Private added to xdg-user-dirs regardless | 22:13 |
kees | (and to see the ~/Desktop perms changed for that too) | 22:13 |
kirkland | kees: perhaps what would be useful is an "undo" operation. basically a reverse of ecryptfs-setup-confidential | 22:13 |
kirkland | kees: i need to research xdg-user-dirs as I'm not familiar | 22:14 |
kees | kirkland: yeah, it was provides ~/Desktop, Documents, Templates etc | 22:14 |
kirkland | kees: cool | 22:14 |
kirkland | kees: if you think it's necessary (or if someone else requests it), i can add an option to ecryptfs-setup-confidential --reverse | 22:16 |
kirkland | which would kill the entry in /etc/fstab, copy the cleartext data to ~/Private, remove the encrypted .Private directory, and remove the entries from .bash_profile, .bash_logout, and .config/autostart | 22:17 |
kees | it might be nice, yeah. It would certainly make it more complete. | 22:17 |
kirkland | kees: actually, that would be useful for my testing | 22:17 |
kirkland | kees: i've been doing that schtuff by hand every time I fvt my scripts :-) | 22:17 |
kirkland | kees: okay, i added a blanket statement about physical theft and crypto+DAC below the Use Cases, since it actually applies to all of the Use Cases | 22:23 |
kirkland | kees: i'll add a bit about undoing the cryptographic mountpoint of ~/Private | 22:23 |
kees | cool | 22:26 |
kirkland | wiki is so painfully sloooooooow :-/ | 22:32 |
kirkland | kees: fyi, use case 7 added (undo ~/Private encryption), as well as a note below all Use Cases regarding physical theft | 22:47 |
kirkland | kees: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 22:47 |
kirkland | kees: I'm going to push it onto ubuntu-server@ for comments | 22:47 |
kees | kirkland: sounds good. :) | 22:49 |
kirkland | kees: i even found (in retrospect) a bug report supporting this BluePrint: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/210179 | 22:49 |
uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 210179 in ecryptfs-utils "encrypting part of a file system is way too hard" [Wishlist,In progress] | 22:49 |
kees | haha, nice. | 22:51 |
nijaba | nealmcb, ajmitch: thanks a lot for your support on my ubuntu membership! | 23:02 |
hackeron | hey, I'm trying to get kexec to boot another kernel on kernel panic, the documentation says to echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger to trigger a kernel panic to test if kexec starts another kernel, but it isn't causing a panic :( - how do I cause a kernel panic to test if kexec is working? | 23:07 |
