| slimjim8094 | hey guys, quick question | 00:44 |
|---|---|---|
| slimjim8094 | ehlo from slimjim8094 | 00:45 |
| slimjim8094 | bah, say my name when (if) you come back | 00:45 |
| InsomniaCity | why not just ask the question? | 00:47 |
| slimjim8094 | ok, fair enough | 00:47 |
| InsomniaCity | then when they come back, they'll answer the question too | 00:47 |
| slimjim8094 | ok - well i'm running bind9 and dhcp3-server | 00:47 |
| slimjim8094 | on the same bodx | 00:47 |
| slimjim8094 | box* | 00:47 |
| slimjim8094 | i'm using this as a router/server/samba/nfs/squid/firewall/awesomebox | 00:47 |
| slimjim8094 | and it's been working great | 00:48 |
| slimjim8094 | but i haven't been able to get ddns-updates to work, from dhcp-server to bind9 | 00:48 |
| slimjim8094 | my main question is - do I *need* security (key) if I don't want one? | 00:48 |
| slimjim8094 | because i'd prefer to not use one... I trust my network | 00:48 |
| InsomniaCity | Deeps knows about dhcp+bind9, IIRC | 00:49 |
| slimjim8094 | ok well holla if/when you come back | 00:50 |
| slimjim8094 | my irc beeps at me if you say my name :) | 00:50 |

| pteague | ok, this isn't good... i'm getting something like "no journal on filesystem md0"... there should be, it's a 1.2tb with only about 100gb free | 04:17 |
| mathiaz | dendrobates-: Could you modify https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/easy-ldap-server to set me as the drafter ? | 04:24 |
| * ajmitch wouldn't mind being removed as assignee from these as well | 04:27 | |
| ajmitch | while I'm starting to get back into ubutnu development where possible, I don't think I'll be taking care of these specs | 04:28 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: could you change that information ? | 04:31 |
| pteague | http://pastebin.com/m715d8c43 | 04:34 |
| ajmitch | mathiaz: no, I tried the other day | 04:38 |
| * ajmitch will try again with this spec | 04:39 | |
| ajmitch | nope, forbidden | 04:39 |
| ajmitch | dendrobates is a member of ubuntu-drivers, I'm not | 04:40 |
| * ajmitch wishes he could help with that raid problem | 04:42 | |
| pteague | http://pastebin.com/m715d8c43 :( | 04:43 |
| ajmitch | yeah, I saw | 04:44 |
| pteague | oops, sorry for repost... carrying on multiple convos in diff channels | 04:44 |
| ajmitch | does dumpe2fs tell you any thing useful? | 04:44 |
| pteague | can i run that directly on /dev/md0 cause it won't let me mount it at all | 04:45 |
| ajmitch | afik you can, and it shouldn't modify the filesystem on there that I'm aware of | 04:45 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: ok - thanks - I'll ping dendrobates- about this spec. | 04:45 |
| * ajmitch is glad to see things moving ahead with the server team though | 04:50 | |
| pteague | k, running dumpe2fs... it's a 1.2tb raid5 so may take a while... does it output to 1 or 2? i figured i'd dump the output to txt | 04:50 |
| ajmitch | so it's getting somewhere? | 04:51 |
| pteague | seems to be... red light is blinking on the 1st drive | 04:52 |
| * ajmitch probably isn't the best person to help with filesystem intricacies | 04:52 | |
| ajmitch | since for me, things generally just work & I don't dig deeper :) | 04:53 |
| pteague | yeah, i usually don't have problems, but there was a power outage today... i shutdown the server, but i don't know if it finished shutting down before or after the ups went down | 04:54 |
| pteague | the output file is about 2.7mb & i couldn't paste the entire thing to pastebin so i just pasted a part of it - http://pastebin.com/m4f7e26fb | 05:00 |
| ajmitch | certainly still looks like a valid FS with metadata | 05:01 |
| pteague | somebody in tulsa lug was able to help me out... after a bunch more debugging ended up having to run `tune2fs -j /dev/md0` | 06:02 |
| ajmitch | a bit painful | 06:03 |
| ajmitch | and surprising that the journal could just disappear | 06:04 |
| pteague | yeah, i think what happened was ups died in the middle of shutdown earlier... had a tree fall on a power line 2 blocks south of here | 06:04 |
| ca_dsl | hi all | 06:59 |
| ca_dsl | I need some help with installing ubuntu 8.04 server | 06:59 |
| ca_dsl | anyone there that can help | 06:59 |
| soren | ca_dsl: That's hard to say. You haven't asked a question yet. | 07:03 |
| ca_dsl | o right | 07:04 |
| ca_dsl | trying to install ubuntu 8 on a hpt374 raid 5 array | 07:04 |
| ca_dsl | but the partition manager won't see the array | 07:05 |
| ca_dsl | it only sees the individual disks | 07:05 |
| ca_dsl | I am sure I am missing something simple here | 07:05 |
| ca_dsl | but I cant seem to find any info on the web on how to do this | 07:06 |
| ca_dsl | any ideas? | 07:06 |
| soren | Your raid-crontroller is probably not a "real" raid controller. It's quite comon. | 07:07 |
| soren | common,even. | 07:07 |
| ca_dsl | what do you mean by that? | 07:07 |
| soren | It just gives you a way to configure your raid arrays in a bios-ish configuration thing, and then the operating system is supposed to do software raid based on that information. | 07:08 |
| ca_dsl | I don't think that is the case with the Hiphpoint Rocket Raif | 07:08 |
| ca_dsl | err raid cards | 07:09 |
| ca_dsl | but I honestly don't know | 07:09 |
| ca_dsl | how can one tell? | 07:09 |
| soren | Real RAID card are *really* expensive. | 07:11 |
| ca_dsl | nm I just googled it and it turns out it is indeed a "Bios assisted" | 07:11 |
| ca_dsl | card | 07:11 |
| ca_dsl | that explains why I see the individual drives | 07:11 |
| ca_dsl | so how do I make them work as a RAID 5 on a cleam install? | 07:12 |
| soren | Actually... I'm not sure. | 07:14 |
| ca_dsl | ahh | 07:18 |
| ca_dsl | apparently ubuntu is loading the standard hpt366 driver (standard ide) | 07:19 |
| ca_dsl | so the question becomes how do I manually tell the installer to load a different driver for the hdd controller? | 07:20 |
| soren | You don't want to use a different driver. | 07:23 |
| ca_dsl | apparently the propiertary driver will see the array | 07:24 |
| ca_dsl | I found a howto on the install once the system is up and running | 07:24 |
| Koon | ca_dsl: yes, Highpoint Rocket raid cards are usually hardware raid cards, so I think your problem is more that it's not properly recognized | 07:25 |
| Koon | ca_dsl: which one is your model exactly ? | 07:25 |
| ca_dsl | Rocket Raid 454 | 07:25 |
| ca_dsl | w/ the HPT374 chip | 07:25 |
| ca_dsl | Koon: any ideas then? | 07:28 |
| ca_dsl | I tried hitting F6 but nothing happened *grins* | 07:28 |
| Koon | ca_dsl: I'm looking... it should have loaded the right module | 07:28 |
| ca_dsl | ok | 07:29 |
| === fredrik is now known as frippz | ||
| Koon | ca_dsl: http://stefan.freyr.org/?page_id=6 | 07:29 |
| Koon | you apparently aren't the first one | 07:29 |
| ca_dsl | thats a change | 07:30 |
| ca_dsl | normally my problems get a response of "thats a first" or "no one else seems to have that problem" | 07:30 |
| ca_dsl | o thats the howto I foind | 07:30 |
| ca_dsl | err found | 07:30 |
| ca_dsl | it assumes a system is allready up and running | 07:31 |
| * rgl waves | 07:31 | |
| ca_dsl | and is for x64 | 07:31 |
| ca_dsl | I am running the x86 version | 07:31 |
| ca_dsl | and I am trying to install onto the array (no more space for extra drives) | 07:31 |
| Koon | ca_dsl: yes, I'm not so sure how you can blacklist a module and load another one soon enough in the install | 07:32 |
| ca_dsl | the installer has a shell | 07:33 |
| ca_dsl | but darned if I know what to do with it | 07:33 |
| ca_dsl | could I use the shell and compile the driver for the install? | 07:34 |
| Koon | no, you'd need a more complete system to compile things | 07:34 |
| ca_dsl | hmm | 07:36 |
| ca_dsl | there is no liveCD version of server is there? | 07:36 |
| Koon | ca_dsl: no | 07:38 |
| ca_dsl | hmm | 07:39 |
| ca_dsl | yet another wall | 07:39 |
| ca_dsl | i seem to have a nack with stumping the experts | 07:39 |
| Koon | I suppose you could compile the hpt374 module on another system, copy it somehow when you drop to the shell, rmmod hpt366 and insmod hpt374... but I couldn't tell you the exact steps | 07:40 |
| Koon | the easiest would be to have one disk outside the array | 07:41 |
| Koon | install on it | 07:41 |
| ca_dsl | yeah rmmod is not a shell command on the install | 07:41 |
| ca_dsl | I am thinking you are right about using another disk | 07:41 |
| ca_dsl | it would keep the system seperated from the data | 07:42 |
| ca_dsl | and the howto would then work... | 07:42 |
| * ca_dsl stares at the case and wonders how to install another drive | 07:43 | |
| * ca_dsl grabs hit hot glue and another drive | 07:43 | |
| Koon | ca_dsl: good luck ! | 07:44 |
| ca_dsl | thnx | 07:44 |
| ca_dsl | is 7 drives in a mid tower too many :D | 07:44 |
| ca_dsl | frankenserver, in fact I think that will be its name | 07:46 |
| ca_dsl | wonder where I can hire an Igor | 07:48 |
| soren | :*) | 08:03 |
| ca_dsl | koon and soren thanks for the help | 08:04 |
| soren | np :) | 08:04 |
| * ca_dsl bows spins and is gone | 08:10 | |
| Furom | Does anyone in here comprehend how SMTP works? I need insight to this subject. For example, lets say that I have an SMTP server running, it should recieve emails from something like, ANYTHING@my.ip.ad.dre.ss, right? Or is there extra steps I have to take to make it work? My situation is, that I'm using a ruby server that I'm programming myself, to store text emails in mysql. I don't want an over complicated system that enables | 08:30 |
| Furom | transfer of files and such. I just need to be able to receive emails. | 08:30 |
| hads | Furom: It's not really #ubuntu-server related. Probably the best way would be to setup a standard MTA and have your mail delivered to your script via pipe. | 08:38 |
| Furom | hads: Ah, I figured it would be, since technically, it's an SMTP server setup that I'm trying to accomplish. Well, guess I better get back to googling. | 08:42 |

| ledmushroom | dont know what happened to the first post | 20:33 |
| soren | What do you mean by "on the net but no d/l of any kind"? | 20:34 |
| ledmushroom | they would be allowed to surf but not download anything with out a password or something | 20:36 |
| soren | Surfing and downloading is the same thing. | 20:37 |
| soren | (in this context) | 20:37 |
| Deeps | sounds like the guy wants a browser in kiosk mode | 20:38 |
| nealmcb | yeah - like it is hard to tell the difference between listening to music and recording it.... but tell that to the DRM fanatics | 20:38 |
| ledmushroom | so what you mean is no unless i take away the net all together | 20:38 |
| nealmcb | ledmushroom: what do you want to prevent - changes to the system? | 20:39 |
| ledmushroom | right | 20:39 |
| ledmushroom | i guess | 20:39 |
| nealmcb | like a kiosk mode? | 20:39 |
| Deeps | 20:38:31 < Deeps> sounds like the guy wants a browser in kiosk mode | 20:39 |
| ledmushroom | i guess if i knew what that was | 20:39 |
| nealmcb | Deeps: right - I was just doing it in conversational style :) | 20:39 |
| Deeps | where you can surf the net, but not do anything else | 20:40 |
| Deeps | like at a cybercafe, or a internet point at an airport | 20:40 |
| nealmcb | kiosk mode == where the computer is supposed to remain the same for the next user - can't install programs or change preferences? | 20:40 |
| ledmushroom | i guess but havent been to any of those i suppose so | 20:40 |
| ledmushroom | hehe | 20:40 |
| Deeps | or download files | 20:40 |
| ledmushroom | yes | 20:40 |
| nealmcb | well, "download" is too overloaded in meaning to make much sense here | 20:41 |
| Deeps | write files to disk and/or run random applications | 20:41 |
| CyberKing | question: can i install ubuntu server in GUI mode? | 20:41 |
| nealmcb | is it a server or a desktop with a gui? | 20:42 |
| ledmushroom | yes deeps | 20:42 |
| nealmcb | (my question was for ledmushroom...) | 20:42 |
| nealmcb | !servergui | CyberKing | 20:42 |
| ubottu | CyberKing: 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. | 20:42 |
| ledmushroom | desktop | 20:43 |
| ledmushroom | sorry was lost for a min | 20:43 |
| nealmcb | ledmushroom: then you'll probably get better help in #ubuntu or another channel - the folks here don't do much with guis | 20:43 |
| Deeps | although if you insist on a gui, installing ubuntu desktop and tasksel -i ubuntu-server would be the same as installing ubuntu server and tasksel -i ubuntu-desktop | 20:43 |
| ledmushroom | they told me to ask in here | 20:44 |
| ledmushroom | lol | 20:44 |
| nealmcb | Deeps: well, you'd have a slightly different kernel, but yeah | 20:44 |
| Deeps | point | 20:44 |
| CyberKing | thanks, nealmcb | 20:44 |
| nealmcb | :) | 20:44 |
| nealmcb | ledmushroom: this is dated, but may give some ideas: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338980&highlight=kiosk+cafe | 20:45 |
| ledmushroom | ty | 20:45 |
| CyberKing | nealmcb, so when i install it, it'll be all text mode too, right? | 20:46 |
| nealmcb | CyberKing: installing ubuntu-server provides a command-line interface. ebox provides a web gui interface | 20:49 |
| nealmcb | ..as noted in that page... | 20:49 |

| slimjim8094 | ehlo from slimjim8094 | 20:55 |
| slimjim8094 | anyone know anything about BIND + dhcp-server ddns? | 20:56 |
| sergevn | until when are there updates for gutsy server? | 20:56 |
| nealmcb | gutsy is supported for 18 months - until next spring | 20:56 |
| sergevn | nealmcb: ok cool thx :) | 20:57 |
| sergevn | I have my production server running on gutsy ( i know bad idea ) | 20:57 |
| sergevn | I dont know if it's safe to upgrade to hardy on the fly? | 20:57 |
| nealmcb | not necessarily a bad idea - there are lots of scenarios out there... | 20:57 |
| sergevn | only running apache, php, mysql, postfix, dovecot | 20:57 |
| nealmcb | well, "safe" as in "no one will die", but most folks test the upgrade on a non-production box first.... | 20:59 |
| * nealmcb considers heart attacks and revises his answer.... | 20:59 | |
| ph4mp573r | hey, I keep getting a "file to large" bounce back on email. I checked /etc/postfix/main.cf & master.cf and couldn't find a size limit. Any ideas? Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS | 21:00 |
| sergevn | nealmcb: hehe :), well postfix en dovecot depend on mysql | 21:00 |
| sergevn | nealmcb: im not worrying about apache, but about dovecot/postfix | 21:00 |
| nealmcb | ph4mp573r: you're running the server that is sending the bounce message? | 21:01 |
| ph4mp573r | yes | 21:01 |
| * soren hugs jdstrand | 21:02 | |
| soren | jdstrand: Congratulations, dude! | 21:02 |
| ph4mp573r | any idea where the size limit is set? | 21:02 |
| nealmcb | what does this say: postconf -d | 21:03 |
| nealmcb | cheers for jdstrand - new core-dev: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/motu-council/2008-May/001101.html | 21:05 |
| jdstrand | thanks nealmcb! | 21:07 |
| ph4mp573r | bounce_size_limit = 50000 | 21:07 |
| ph4mp573r | bounce_size_limit = 50000 | 21:07 |
| ph4mp573r | it says bounce_size_limit = 50000 | 21:07 |
| ph4mp573r | where is that set? | 21:07 |
| JanC | sergevn: just try the upgrade in a virtual machine | 21:07 |
| ScottK | nealmcb: Not yet. He still has to go in front of the tech board. | 21:07 |
| nealmcb | ScottK - this was from #ubuntu-meeting - but maybe I missed something - cc meeting now? | 21:08 |
| JanC | make sure that you have the same software running in the VM before you start upgrading in it | 21:08 |
| ScottK | Ah | 21:08 |
| * ScottK was reading the mail, not the IRC channel. | 21:08 | |
| Deeps | or just use something like partimage to copy your current machine to a virtual disk and do the upgrade that way | 21:08 |
| Deeps | (in the vm) | 21:08 |
| nealmcb | ScottK - yeah - I meant to also reference the meeting channel - but I haven't read all of what is going on... | 21:09 |
| nealmcb | ScottK - can you answer ph4mp573r's question on setting size limits? ^^ | 21:09 |
| ScottK | Yes. | 21:09 |
| ScottK | Bounce size limit isn't it. Give me a sec. | 21:10 |
| ph4mp573r | k thank you | 21:10 |
| sparky01 | I have a question about the recent kernel patch... | 21:11 |
| ScottK | ph4mp573r: | 21:11 |
| sergevn | JanC: yes ill try this next week, thanks | 21:11 |
| ScottK | ph4mp573r: What does postconf | grep message_size_limit produce? | 21:11 |
| sparky01 | why would it not download and install on server. It says packages held back... ? | 21:11 |
| sergevn | Does this also count for security updates? the support limit of next spring? | 21:11 |
| ScottK | sergevn: Yes. | 21:12 |
| ph4mp573r | 10240000 | 21:12 |
| ph4mp573r | Scottk: 10240000 | 21:12 |
| ScottK | ph4mp573r: That's the default. | 21:12 |
| ScottK | ~ 10MB | 21:12 |
| ScottK | ph4mp573r: How big a message do you want to send? | 21:12 |
| ph4mp573r | yeah, the emails that he's complaining on bouncing are each 10.1MB lol. | 21:12 |
| sparky01 | why would the server report that it kept back server security patches? | 21:12 |
| ScottK | Also don't forget to allow some extra for 8 bit / 7 bit conversion. | 21:13 |
| ScottK | sparky01: It's the same as for any new kernel update. | 21:13 |
| sparky01 | ? | 21:13 |
| ph4mp573r | so where is the size limit set Scott? | 21:13 |
| nealmcb | sparky01: perhaps you need to dist-upgrade? | 21:13 |
| ScottK | ph4mp573r: Add something like message_size_limit = 15360000 in main.cf and then reload postfix. | 21:13 |
| sparky01 | ScottK, are they kept back until they are more fully tested or something? please help me understand | 21:14 |
| ScottK | sparky01: Every kernel upgrade has a new package with is so you have to dist-upgrade to get it. The fact that it's from security is no different. | 21:14 |
| sparky01 | ScottK, thanks so much. i got it | 21:14 |
| ScottK | If you dist-upgrade and it's still held back, it means not all the packages are published yet and you should wait. | 21:14 |
| ph4mp573r | ScottK: so I just have to add it, even if it's not there? | 21:15 |
| ScottK | Yes. The default, message_size_limit = 10240000, is implicitly there. | 21:15 |
| mathiaz | ogra: is there reason to use nss_ldap in an LTSP infrastructure ? | 21:16 |
| ph4mp573r | thanks ScottK that worked | 21:23 |
| karlito | anyone got experience setting Bind9 : I got everything set for my local network. I can dig, ntlookup and ping. but where do I set the address seen from the outside world. my static ip given by my ISP. Any doc ? | 21:30 |
| sommer | karlito: check out the DNS section of the server guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/dns-configuration.html#dns-caching-configuration | 21:31 |
| === danshearer1 is now known as danshearer | ||
| karlito | the guide use private address that are not routable over the internet, but for my need I should substitute those address for one given by my ISP ? thank for the link. | 21:40 |
| sommer | karlito: correct you'll want the fowarder addresses to be the ones from your ISP | 21:41 |
| karlito | why the guide do not include real life exemple ? got any idea ? | 21:42 |
| Deeps | because everyone can use those private ips, if it uses public ips it'll be specific to one person's configuration only | 21:42 |
| sommer | yep yep | 21:42 |
| karlito | got it. thank | 21:44 |

| maw_ | has anyone successfully install VMware tools on 8.04 guest? | 22:13 |
| x0r- | Anyone familiar with OpenLDAP and StartTLS? I have an issue starting TLS * TLS: warning: cacertdir not implemented for gnutls * | 22:15 |
| Overand | Thesse days, should I be doing apt-get upgrade or aptitude upgrade? | 22:34 |
| maw_ | I was just reading the man about that, apparently apt-get is the quick method and not dependancy friendly | 22:38 |
| maw_ | quote from man: under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed | 22:38 |
| kirkland | zul: a bunch of people are asking for php5-5.2.6 to be backported to Hardy, citing the unusually high number of security fixes (kees, ding ding) in the release | 22:38 |
| kirkland | zul: see Bug #227464 | 22:39 |
| uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 227464 in php5 "PHP 5.2.6 fixes important security bugs" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/227464 | 22:39 |
| maw_ | Overand: it seems apt-get dist-upgrade is best suited to handle current packages and any dependencies | 22:39 |
| hads | apt-get or aptitude will be fine. | 22:40 |
| ScottK | maw_: dist-upgrade is only needed if a new package is pulled in (as is normally the case for kernel updates). | 22:41 |
| kees | kirkland: I'd like to get those fixed backported to all the stable releases... just haven't had time yet. | 22:41 |
| kirkland | kees: backport of each patch is preferred over a merge of 5.2.6 ? | 22:42 |
| kirkland | kees: one user is reporting that his schools network is blocking servers running php < 5.2.6 | 22:42 |
| kees | we don't do version bumps for PHP -- we backport fixes. | 22:43 |
| kees | it's not a "merge" if it's to hardy. :) | 22:43 |
| kirkland | gotcha. | 22:44 |
| kirkland | kees: well, at first glance, it looks like a *sizable* debdiff....... | 22:44 |
| kirkland | (by my nascent standards) | 22:44 |
| Overand | wow. go 7zip - 9600megs of log files down to 145megs, heh | 22:44 |
| kees | kirkland: well, you already found all the security bug fixes. that'll be small. It just needs some time and attention. | 22:45 |
| kirkland | kees: ah, right, that detective work you sent me on a few weeks ago.... i hadn't made the connection until now (light bulb) | 22:46 |
| kees | :) | 22:46 |
| maw_ | ScottK: I was making my comment based on 'man apt-get' which defines upgrade as not being dependency friendly and dist-upgrade resolving dependency issues | 22:46 |
| mathiaz | kees: pam modules are related to authentication - how would call the general domain that nss deals with ? authorization ? | 23:04 |
| kees | mathiaz: hmm | 23:07 |
| kees | mathiaz: they're really just directory lookup systems. | 23:08 |
| kees | looking up lists of hosts, people, groups, etc. | 23:08 |
| mathiaz | kees: right - I'm trying to find a good term for that role, but haven't got one yet | 23:09 |
| mindframe- | is there anything that should be backed up in /var/ besides /var/log? | 23:10 |
| ScottK | maw_: The practical distinction is will install a new package if needed | 23:10 |
| mindframe- | this would be for a system restore situation | 23:10 |
| kees | mindframe-: everything in /var is important. :P | 23:10 |
| nijaba | mindframe-: quite a bit, yes | 23:10 |

| kees | mathiaz: "name service", though that's confusing with DNS | 23:11 |
| kees | directory service? | 23:11 |
| kees | that's confusing for LDAP | 23:11 |
| ph8 | Hi all, i'm trying to find a way of replicating filesystems across machines, for redundancy/resilience - i want to have two machines in failover and the files on each should match exactly if possible - is there a better way than an rsync crontab'ed every minute? Seems a bit messy | 23:12 |
| nijaba | mathiaz: what are you trying to name? | 23:12 |
| kees | nijaba: the role that nss fills | 23:12 |
| mathiaz | nijaba: pam -> authentication; nss -> ? | 23:12 |
| ScottK | ph8: If you want bi-directional replication you might want to look at unison | 23:12 |
| nijaba | mathiaz: directory lookup service is what comes to my mind | 23:13 |
| nijaba | ph8: what about a shared block device such as DRBD? | 23:14 |
| kees | in addition to drbd, there's also clustered file systems, but I've never worked with them. | 23:15 |
| slimjim8094 | hey guys - trying to do a ddns-update between my dhcp-server and bind (same box) | 23:15 |
| kees | doing a md raid1 on top of physical + drbd was what I wanted to try, but it required that the machines never mounted it at the same time. | 23:15 |
| slimjim8094 | it's not working - anybody know what's up? | 23:16 |
| kees | slimjim8094: I'm not much help, I haven't used ddns :( | 23:16 |
| slimjim8094 | i think i get errors... | 23:17 |
| slimjim8094 | i was just about to muck around with it for a bit more | 23:17 |
| ph8 | sounds ideal nijaba and ScottK, i'll probably try DRBD, thanks | 23:19 |
| mathiaz | nijaba: what do you think about this: http://people.ubuntu.com/~mathiaz/network_auth_integration.png ? | 23:22 |
| * nijaba looking | 23:22 | |
| mathiaz | nijaba: I've tried to summarize the option for network authentication scenarii | 23:22 |
| nijaba | mathiaz: I think you summarized quite well the options we cant to cover for interepid :) | 23:24 |
| mathiaz | nijaba: cant ? | 23:24 |
| nijaba | errr. s/cant/can | 23:24 |
| nijaba | errr... x 2 s/cant/want | 23:25 |
| nijaba | duh | 23:25 |
| mathiaz | nijaba: I was asking about the nss role in order to qualify the components in blue | 23:26 |
| mathiaz | nijaba: the components in red deal with authentication, the blue deal with ? | 23:26 |
| nijaba | mathiaz: so that's what I call the directory lookup phase | 23:26 |
| mathiaz | nijaba: right - often this is part of the authorization phase | 23:26 |
| nijaba | authentication has 2 phase: directory lookup and credential checking | 23:27 |
| nijaba | authorization has 2 phases: directory lookup and right computation | 23:27 |
| nijaba | note that in order to authenticate someone using only its cn, for example, you will first need to search for it's dn, this is what the directory lookup stands for | 23:29 |
| nijaba | in the authorization phase, you will do a directory lookup to see what objects are linked to your dn and acculate right inherited by it | 23:30 |
| nijaba | you then check it against your rules to see if anything matches (or not) | 23:30 |
| nijaba | mathiaz: does this help? | 23:31 |
| mathiaz | nijaba: yes - thnaks | 23:36 |
| ph8 | If i read 'failover to seperate location over fiber-optic ring' - does the fibre-optic mean anything? Should i just approach the application like it's got a normal internet connection or is there some super-secret ring language i'm likely to need to talk? (i.e. making a pair of failover machines, i'd probably have them act as primary+secondary NSes, so if one fails - the other is active) | 23:40 |
| nijaba | ph8: where is this sentence coming from? | 23:42 |
| nijaba | ph8: I would say that it just means that if you want to have two systems in failover that are not within Ethernet reach, a fiber optic link is highly recommended to avoid latency problems | 23:43 |
| ph8 | It's what I was told to design, a 'resilient FTP cluster of two machines' with Fail-over to separate location over fibre-optic ring | 23:43 |
| ph8 | ah i see, so the machine would have two connected ethernet ports essentially | 23:44 |
| ph8 | and i'd somehow have to confirm DRBD to use the fibre | 23:44 |
| nijaba | ph8: so the 2 machines are not in the same location? or the separate location has another set of machines? | 23:44 |
| infinity | Not ethernet, FDDI. | 23:44 |
| ph8 | since that's uber-fast | 23:44 |
| ph8 | one machine in each DC yep | 23:44 |
| infinity | (There are differences...) | 23:44 |
| ph8 | oo neve rheard of one of those | 23:45 |
| ph8 | thanks | 23:45 |
| infinity | But, I suppose, for a point-to-point connection, the differences are meaningless to most people. :) | 23:45 |
| infinity | A "ring" of two machines isn't much of a ring. | 23:45 |
| ph8 | indeed :p | 23:45 |
| hads | heh | 23:45 |
| ph8 | ok so that's not actually too complicated | 23:46 |
| nijaba | infinity: one could argue that the minimal expression of a ring | 23:46 |
| ph8 | that's good | 23:46 |
| ph8 | (or is it? :p) | 23:46 |
| infinity | nijaba: Well, it's still technically a token ring network. The "token" bit being the key here. But I might argue the "ring" aspect a bit. :) | 23:46 |
| nijaba | infinity: you win ;) | 23:47 |
| infinity | (And the practical differences between token ring and carrier detect/select are miniman when it's a point-to-point connection) | 23:47 |
| infinity | minimal, too. | 23:47 |
| nijaba | ph8: people that have experience building such architecture are generally well paid, if that helps define "complicated" | 23:49 |
| infinity | Neat, I'm well-paid. | 23:49 |
| nijaba | I would hope you are, infinity | 23:50 |
| RoAkSoAx | lol.. i wanna be well paid when i start working :P | 23:50 |
| infinity | nijaba: If you could be so kind as to convey this information to my bank account, I'd appreciate it. | 23:50 |
| * nijaba googling for your bank acount number :P | 23:51 | |
| * nijaba talk to him -> said to see with your employer ;) | 23:53 | |
| nijaba | ok, enough fun for tonight, time to go to bed | 23:54 |
| infinity | G'night. :) | 23:55 |
| * RoAkSoAx has to wait like 6 more hours to go to bed :P | 23:55 | |
| ph8 | I think i'm getting the architecture, just got to make the machines :-) | 23:56 |

| LeChacal | hello, with the new kernel update that came out i for the desktop was going to upgrade my server but i only have remote access right now and i was wondering if it would be smart to update remotely and if i can how should i do it? because will take about 20+ min to download the update and by that time my ssh session will have timed out does that matter? | 23:58 |
| RoAkSoAx | a ftp server in master/slave with DRBD data replication? | 23:58 |
| hads | LeChacal: Use screen | 23:59 |
| LeChacal | hads: that is what i was going to do but wondered if that was a safe thing to do | 23:59 |
| hads | and your server must have a really slow connection. | 23:59 |
