mrhankynow, i want to save on energy04:12
mrhankyso can i make my backup server hibernate, then make my main server tell it to wake up?04:12
mrhankyis that possible?04:12
mrhankyid really like to know :)04:12
iRRV1WOL?04:12
mrhankyWOL? uhm not sure what that is04:12
iRRV1i dont know much about WOL (Wake On Lan) but sounds like what you would want04:13
mrhankyoohhh04:13
mrhankyyeah that is04:13
mrhankydo you know of a tutorial or something?04:13
mrhanky:)04:13
iRRV1i think it differs bios-to-bios04:13
iRRV1but i have never done it and know next to nothing about it04:14
Kamping_Kaiseryou need something that can send custom icmp packets to the powered off system04:14
Kamping_Kaiserand a bios that supports wol.04:14
mrhankyi can do that04:14
mrhankylet me see if my bois does... i have 3 backup server candidates so im sure one of them does! :)04:15

iRRV1np04:15
Kamping_Kaisergl04:16
iRRV1im still deciding what kind of a game i should host on my server (originally was gunna be a MUD...then i wanted to do some sort of something that would actually get users...) ...any suggestions?04:25
Kamping_Kaiserdont knock mud players ;P04:26
iRRV1im not04:26
iRRV1just saying theres too many good muds out there and im coming in too late in the game to get any users04:26
Kamping_Kaiserguess the amount of bandwidht you have to your server affects what you want to runon it04:27
iRRV1300 Mb/month iirc04:27
iRRV1errr....04:28
iRRV1that sounded pretty low...good thing its 300 Gb/month04:28
Kamping_Kaiser;)04:29
iRRV1but its a cheap vps so its likie 256 MB ram and 10 gigs hdd and such04:29
iRRV1and i mean if i could get any builders to help me with my MUD i would stay at it...but i've been working at this for about a week or 2 and only got a fraction of a city04:32
iRRV1well...probably a week04:32
iRRV1(and i'll shutup if this is too offtopic, btw)04:33
iRRV1but if anyone has any suggestions for what to run on my server, they would be much appreciated (and yes, it is a ubuntu server :D)04:35
Kamping_Kaisershouldnt you get an idea before a server ? :P04:36
iRRV1i had one04:36
iRRV1then i after i got the server, i had a realization04:37
iRRV1so im running a MUD server and a crossfire server on there currently...but im prolly gunna take em both down if i can get a half decent idea for a server04:38

AtomicSparkis there anyway to easily search for and delete a file in a bunch of folders without manually deleting each one?18:54
nxvlfind?18:54
AtomicSparknvm. i figured out i can search the mounted folder. :P18:54
AtomicSparkthat was quick.18:55
nxvlbash scripting is always cool18:55
AtomicSparki'm getting rid of all the thumbs.db. silly windows files.18:55
AtomicSparkhave you worked with samba at all?18:56
nxvlyep18:58
AtomicSparki have this weird inconsistency with my samba share. right now i'm just sharing a users home as one main collection of files. i can manually type in the address. smb://server/username19:00
AtomicSparkbut when i try to find it via the network option in ubuntu it just has two shares on it. homes and print$19:00
AtomicSparkhomes doesnt mount. i'm thinking it might either be configured wrong or its trying to use the user name i'm logged into on the local machine19:01
AtomicSparkhmm. now my workgroup is empty. smb protocol is very random. even on windows.19:09
sommer_ScottK: just an fyi, I got a notice from LP saying I'm about to expire from the clamav team :(20:01
thenewguyhow secure is Ubuntu server? if i put a stock Ubuntu box on the web with LAMP how safe am i? i will have it behind a Hardware firewall21:09
ivoksyou'll have only http port open to the public21:10
ivoksfwiw, php is patched with suhosin patch from http://www.hardened-php.net/21:10
Nafalloif the P is PHP, you are as secure as your applications ;-)21:14
ivoksright21:14
ivoksand you can apply that rule to any other language21:14
Nafalloyepp. but there is only one language I mistrust on principle ;-)21:15
Nafalloanyway. lets not get into that discussion :-)21:15
ivoksNafallo: i agree with you, but when you think of it... most of the problems are really aplication based21:15
Nafalloyepp :-)21:16
ivoksphp is, kind of, proof of concept, but, to be honest, it isn't much worse than other languages21:16
Nafalloits widely popular, so of course it gets more CANs21:17
ivoksright...21:17
ivoksmeh... long night in front of me...21:17
ivoksi'll convert dbmail into dovecot...21:18
Nafallo:-)21:18
ivoksit would be great to have mod_security in apache, by default21:22
ivokstoo bad mod_security is still gpl221:22
ivokso! o! changes!21:24
ivokshttp://blog.modsecurity.org/2008/06/modsecurity-lic.html21:24
AtomicSparkivoks, yay?21:28
ivoksAtomicSpark: yay? :)21:28
AtomicSparkivoks, yes.21:29
nxvlivoks: woooho!21:32
ScottKsommer_: You should be able to renew yourself.  Let me know if you can't.21:57

nxvlScottK: hi!21:58
ScottKHello nxvl.21:58
nxvlScottK: how are you!21:58
ScottKGood, but busy.21:58
nxvlScottK: everything is going fine21:58
nxvlyeah, same here21:58
ScottK(which explains why I haven't signed your GPG key among other things)21:58
nxvlthis days are really busy21:58
nxvl:D21:58
nxvlwell i was going to ask you something, but, don't mind21:59
nxvl:P21:59
ScottKIf it's a quick question, go ahead.21:59
ScottKnxvl: ^^21:59
nxvlwell21:59
ScottKIs anyone here actually running dovecot for sasl with Postfix?21:59
nxvlit's a not short time demanding thing22:00
ScottKNot even the asking?22:00
nxvlso nevermind22:00
nxvl:D22:00
nxvlwell22:00
nxvli was going to ask you to review augeas22:00
nxvl:P22:00
ScottKAh.22:00
ScottKProbably not today.22:00
nxvland it's not a simple package22:00
nxvlis a multiple binary + library one22:01
ScottKMy suggestion would be ask sistpoty to do it.  He's really good on library packaging.22:01
nxvlbut doesn't mind, if you find some time i will be really grateful if you took a look, even a quick one :D22:01
nxvlScottK: thanks! i will22:02
* ScottK adds it TODO.22:02
ScottKsommer_: Are you using Postfix with Dovecot for SASL?22:03
nxvlsommer_: can you please test augeas i need some sysadmins opinions on it22:04
nxvlsommer_: it has some test cases on the web page, and a test environment22:04
nxvlsommer_: so if you have time, please test it and send me some feedback22:04
