mm_202Hey guys, can someone help me with a question about /proc/[pid]/stat ?02:05
mm_202Im trying to get the user & system time that the process has consumed.  But /proc/[pid]/stat seems to provide the information in 'jiffies'.02:06
mm_202I want something more like what getrusage() returns.02:06

ScottKlukehasnoname: We need to get it easier to have different variants so that all parties can be satisfied.  Both the minimalists and the generalists have good point.02:23

lukehasnonamewhen do you hit the sack, ScottK02:27
ScottKNot for a while yet.  Several hours at least.02:28
lukehasnoname... when do you get up?02:29
lukehasnonameI mean02:29
lukehasnonameit's what, 2:30?02:29
ScottKOne (or very few) sizes will never satisfy everyone, so there's no point in arguing much over specifics.  We need more sizes.02:29
ScottKlukehasnoname: What timezone?02:30
lukehasnoname2:29am Wednesday (BST) - Time in London, United Kingdom02:30
ScottKRight.  I get up about 11AM your time.02:30
lukehasnonameso you sleep from 5am-5pm ... awesome. I envy you. BTW, what's your take on NetDirector, did you look at it? I might finally have a friend with good internet to host my server so I can play with software.02:32
ScottKI didn't look at it yet.02:33
ScottKFrom the one technical answer I got about config files it sounds to me like they punted to the admin all the tricky stuff.02:34
lukehasnonameit looks worth checking02:42
lukehasnonameto me, anyway. Create users with unique roles based on services, and be able to manage large numbers of servers at once, as well as other functions02:43
ScottKI agree it's worth looking into.02:58
lukehasnonameCan I add newer release repos to older installs, and things function?03:19
lukehasnonamesuch as adding hardy repos to a feisty or gutsy install03:19
ScottKNo.03:23
ScottKSome packages will work, some won't.  If you want a newer package in a release, backports is the usual method.03:24

BlinnyI have a cron script (named 'backup') in /etc/cron.daily. Although I have 3:25AM for the runtime in /etc/crontab, it doesn't get around to running until 7:30AM.

sorenYes.15:30
sorenhttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh15:30
ScottKlukehasnoname_: Yesterday you recommended someone might chmod a file to 777 to solve a problem.  Please don't do that.15:30
* soren concurs15:31
lukehasnoname_I concur since I didn't ask him how secure/important that dir was15:33
lukehasnoname_soren: cool link, I didn't know you could track like that in LP. I admit I haven't explored it much.15:35
sorenRegardless... "chmod 777" is never a good solution. At the very least, don't provide it as a default solution unless explicitly told that the server is not networked and physically locked up in a box somewhere out of reach of children and such.15:38
mindframe-how can i get a list of security vulnerabilities associated with  OpenSSH 4.2p1-7ubuntu3 ... obviously fixes were backported15:38
lukehasnoname_soren: ok15:39
sorenmindframe-: Look at the changelog. Same page.15:39
ScottKmindframe-: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/o/openssh/openssh_4.2p1-7ubuntu3.4/changelog15:39
ScottKsoren: The Launchpad 'changelogs' aren't really changelogs at all, but an incomplete amalgamation of some of the things mentioned in .changes files for the release.  To get the full debian/changelog you need to go to p.u.c.15:42
sorenTrue.15:43
ScottKThere are open bugs on this in Launchpad, but it's not a high priority.15:43
ScottKIt seems odd to me that data correctness and completeness don't rate highly for them, but there is obviously a lot I don't understand about Launchpad development.15:43

sommerI've used both the ones I recommended :-)16:50
lukehasnoname_cool16:51
lukehasnoname_I'll check those out, esp. the Packt one since it's Open specific. If anyone asks, "Beginning Ubuntu Server Administration" and "Linux Networking Cookbook" are both really terrific16:53

HomeSickAhello all, wanted to set up a private network with a private domain. network will have about 30 or so computers both ubuntu and windows. i woud like to run a 'central' server on ubuntu server 8.04. the network has 10 computers on a lan router, we would like to bridge that to a wireless router so ppl can also connect wirelessly. i would like the server to have a domain called server.lan.com so that ppl can jsut put that in their i19:49
ivoksso, where's the problem?19:50
luke_has_no_nameivoks: I think he wants to know how to19:51
HomeSickAyes lol19:51
HomeSickAhow to ;p19:51
ivoksso, that server should be dhcp server19:52
HomeSickAyes19:52
HomeSickAthat server should 'run' the network19:52
HomeSickAwil the wireless users get affected? i mean doesnt the wireless router tend to do all the work?19:52
ivoksand wifi router should have dhcp service disabled, and only pass packages19:52
ivoksit should work if you disable dhcp service on it, and set an IP that would be in the same range as server19:53
HomeSickAok, does ubuntu ship with that as a standard?19:53
ivokswith dhcp server?19:53
HomeSickAyes19:53
ivoksyes, it's on CD19:53
HomeSickAubuntu server edition that is19:53
HomeSickAok sweet19:53
HomeSickAim not getting 'and set an IP that would be in the same range as server'19:54
HomeSickAwhere do i set that19:54
ivoksdhcp3-server is the name of the package19:54
ivokson the wifi router19:54
ivoksexample:19:54
HomeSickAok, so i set the wifi router to have an ip address?19:54
ivoksubuntu server has an IP 192.168.0.1, it offers over dhcp 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.20019:54
ivoksthen your wifi router should have 192.168.0.219:55
HomeSickAok im getting that19:55
ivokshaving a caching DNS server would be cool, too19:55
HomeSickAcaching DNS server?19:56
HomeSickApls explain :D19:56
ivoksDNS server which doesn't have local domain, it just stores queries from other domains19:56
HomeSickAwhat domains are u talking about ;/ im lost. im just creating a private network, no internet19:57
ajsharpThis isn't really an ubuntu specific question, it's more of a dns question but....is creating an A record for every subdomain (www.example.com) equivalent of creating cname records to the servers main A record (example.com)?19:59

luke_lI just thought about the fact that FreeBSD's package selection at install time is a pretty good example of what people want in Ubuntu21:30
luke_lIt's not as detailed as the FAI or the more specific "flavor" spec that ScottK wants but it's the same in principle21:31
ScottKThe hard part isn't the package selection, but the integrated configuration that goes with it.21:31
luke_lright I was tihnking initally about the "minimal vs. full" debate that was going on21:34
ScottKYes.21:38
luke_lyou mean like what qualifies for each?21:38
luke_llike does w3m stay in minimal, haha21:38
ScottKFor that, you're right, package selection is sufficient.21:39
ScottKFor what I'm trying to do in the flavor spec is get a set of packages with a set integrated configuration.  That's a harder bit.21:39
