[02:02] <uvirtbot`> New bug: #280493 in gvfs (main) "connecting to samba share - appears to mount, icon appears on desktop, then disappears and redirected to home folder. (dup-of: 264943)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/280493
[02:26] <[Solars]> i feel like a dumbdumb ic an't remember where the file to edit crontab is... locate crontab didn't work
[02:26] <[Solars]> well it worked but none of the files has the item i need to edit
[02:35] <hads> [Solars]: crontab -e
[02:37] <[Solars]> hads i remember directly editing a file
[02:37] <hads> You mean the system crontab? /etc/crontab
[02:38] <[Solars]> yea
[02:38] <hads> Typically you'd put a script in /etc/cron.* though
[02:38] <hads> If you want it to run as root that is.
[02:38] <[Solars]> its not in /etc/crontab
[02:38] <hads> OK
[02:39] <[Solars]> it was a script that i made run every 15 mins
[02:40] <[Solars]> wanted to change it to every 30 or 45 mins
[02:40] <[Solars]> can't seem to find it now
[02:41] <[Solars]> wonder if there is a gnome tool for such things
[02:41] <stainer> do you have webmin installed?
[02:41] <stainer> webmin can do crontab
[02:41] <[Solars]> webmin = html admin?
[02:41] <stainer> and did you get dhcpd going?
[02:41] <hads> !webmin
[02:41] <[Solars]> yea dhcp working great
[02:42] <stainer> bah
[02:42] <stainer> webmin runs just fine on mah box
[02:42] <stainer> !pansies
[02:42] <[Solars]> stainer can't remember where i edit the file for the script
[02:42] <[Solars]> its ran as root i know that much
[02:43] <[Solars]> atleast thats what the logs say
[02:43] <stainer> you have root enabled? and when you su, crontab -e doesn't work?
[02:43] <hads> Oh good, webmin and enabling root.
[02:44] <stainer> sweet huh?
[02:44] <[Solars]> stainer sudo crontrab -l shows the file
[02:44] <[Solars]> err the entry
[02:44] <[Solars]> thanks stainer
[02:44] <[Solars]> owe you another candy bar :p
[02:44] <stainer> hads: I running a box when you were still going at your boob
[02:45] <stainer> you got it?
[02:45] <[Solars]> yepp
[02:45] <stainer> k
[02:45] <[Solars]> just have to restart crontab right?
[02:45]  * hads leaves the experts to it
[02:45] <[Solars]> nvm
[02:45] <stainer> I use jstar as my editor, but hads prolly thinks it is unsecure and will cause a crash or something
[02:46] <stainer> I am not elite enough to use vi
[02:46]  * [Solars] uses vi :P
[02:46] <[Solars]> atleast try to use vi
[02:46] <[Solars]> second to that i use nano when i get frustrated
[02:47] <stainer> jstar is cool... it is like the old wordstar
[02:47] <[Solars]> there was an editor that i loved back in my debian haydays
[02:47] <[Solars]> can't remember it but i think nano replaced it
[02:49]  * [Solars] wonders what other tools gnome has for managing a system
[02:49] <stainer> jstar is part of the jed or joe package... I cant remember which. There are a ton of them in the packages.
[02:50] <stainer> I like that denyhosts package... I got it updating from a server. I haven't had a chinese hacker hit my box all week.
[02:53] <[Solars]> i wonder if it was vim... nay thats not it
[02:54] <stainer> pico?
[02:54] <[Solars]> might be pico... sounds very familiar
[02:54] <stainer> you cna still get it
[02:54] <[Solars]> no need for it anymore
[02:54] <stainer> gotcha
[02:55] <[Solars]> erm there is a computertemp gnome applet... wonder what that looks likle
[02:55] <stainer> heh
[02:55] <stainer> so are you using the server software with desktop installed?
[02:55] <[Solars]> yea
[02:56] <[Solars]> mainly cuase its easier for the wife to do stuff on there
[02:57] <[Solars]> ohh gnome-mud!
[02:57] <stainer> I got mine in a closet. 1U that my wife got me for our 20th anniversary
[02:57] <[Solars]> kewl beans
[02:58] <[Solars]> I want to get one or two UPnP devices for the house
[02:58] <[Solars]> and do some streaming
[03:00] <stainer> I am trying my hand at setting up postfix/imap/squirrelmail I have retiredand.boldlygoingnowhere.org sending and receiving email. I am setting my parents up with email accounts on that one.
[03:01] <[Solars]> heh
[03:01] <[Solars]> haven't realyl tried hosting my own domain and such yet either.. .would love to
[03:02] <stainer> I am using dyndns.com, works great with a dynamic dsl account
[03:03] <[Solars]> how much?
[03:03] <stainer> free
[03:03] <[Solars]> still have to pay for a name?
[03:04] <stainer> the have lots to choose from... they have names like boldlygoingnowhere.org and you can add something before it.
[03:05] <stainer> check "host services"
[03:05] <[Solars]> erm don't like there free hostnames :p
[03:05] <[Solars]> err domains
[03:06] <stainer> they have some plain ones... but you can get them to one that you register for $40 or so a year and that includes the registering
[03:06] <[Solars]> thats not too bad
[03:07] <stainer> yeah
[03:09] <[Solars]> wonder if i get the domain, if i would bog down my residental line
[03:09] <stainer> you have dsl?
[03:09] <[Solars]> yea
[03:09] <[Solars]> err
[03:09] <[Solars]> no
[03:09] <[Solars]> cable atm
[03:10] <stainer> unless you are hosting mail for 25000 or something, I wouldnt worry about it
[03:10] <[Solars]> wouldn't be mail hosting that i be worried about :p
[03:12] <stainer> unless you where hosting something else, I wouldn't worry about it.
[03:13] <[Solars]> :)
[03:14] <stainer> I ran a counter strike server, forums, and all the stats as webpages on old box, with 1.5 dsl at the time.
[03:14] <[Solars]> erm i think i have some python scripts hanging
[03:14] <stainer> you have enough bandwidth
[03:15] <[Solars]> erm whats the cmd for showing processes?
[03:15] <stainer> top
[03:15] <[Solars]> erm that doesn't show all
[03:15] <[Solars]> wanted to grep :p
[03:15] <stainer> ps
[03:16] <stainer> ps -aux
[03:16] <stainer> man ps
[03:16] <[Solars]> heh -aux wrong OS lol
[03:16] <stainer> Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
[03:17] <stainer> I am from NC, everything is hard for me
[03:17] <[Solars]> erm 5 python processes but dunno which one is hanging
[03:21] <[Solars]> stainer where you the one that was helping me with my bash script?
[03:21] <[Solars]> i need to add something to it if that was you
[03:21] <[Solars]> read a variable from a file /some/dir/*.pid then after it removes files, kill -9 pid
[03:22] <stainer> not me
[03:22] <[Solars]> getting tired of python hanging up :p
[03:22] <stainer> you can use top to figure out which one is broke
[03:22] <[Solars]> yea but i constantly get them
[03:22] <Redixe_home> groupadd developers   usermod -g developers steven     groupmod -g 1013 developers       ... is that how I would add a new group, add my user to it, and then set the gid of the group?
[03:23] <stainer> top press F the x and use <> to sort
[03:23] <[Solars]> so my 'program' does nothing while those files are hanging till python times out
[03:25] <[Solars]> adduser <user> <group> <=- thats how i thought you added users to a group
[03:25] <[Solars]> could also addgroup <groupA> <groupB>
[03:26] <Redixe_home> well adduser is adding the user and then adding that user to that group ... I think ... ran it and it says user steven exists
[03:26] <[Solars]> your right
[03:26] <[Solars]> erm
[03:26]  * [Solars] mans adduser
[03:27] <[Solars]> adduser, addgroup - add a user or group to the system
[03:27] <[Solars]> my bad :P
[03:27] <Redixe_home> the ways I listed seems to have worked .. rebooted the machine but id steven doesn't show that I'm part of group developers so I re added myself and the gid is set right this time
[03:27] <[Solars]> useradd <user> <group>
[03:27] <[Solars]> got them mixed :P
[03:27] <[Solars]> thats kewl
[03:28] <[Solars]> more then one way to skin a cat
[03:29] <stainer> Redixe: http://learnlinux.tsf.org.za/courses/build/sys-admin/ch05.html
[03:29] <stainer> its in english
[03:29] <Redixe_home> stainer, thanks
[03:30] <stainer> I would tell you to try webmin, you can do all that in webmin, but evidently it will cause you to go sterile and become blind.
[03:30] <[Solars]> stainer is it a bad idea to add a user to www-data ?
[03:30] <[Solars]> group
[03:30] <[Solars]> but but but ubottu says its borked!
[03:30] <[Solars]> !webmin
[03:31] <[Solars]> :)
[03:31] <stainer> I dunno... I wouldn't, I would enable the thing so they can do public_html in their home dir.
[03:31] <[Solars]> its not that
[03:31] <[Solars]> the script moves the files from /dir/a to /dir/b and keeps the group tag
[03:32] <[Solars]> so i was wondering if i should add the user(s) to that group or change the group id all together for those moved files
[03:32] <[Solars]> if that makes sense
[03:33] <stainer> you can link a dir to www-data that belongs to someone else
[03:33] <[Solars]> the dest. dir is a smb dir
[03:33] <[Solars]> so my entire network has access to it
[03:34] <[Solars]> program a downloads needed stuff.... crontab script moves completed stuff ...
[03:34] <stainer> you can limit access with .htaccess
[03:34] <stainer> even password it
[03:34] <stainer> http://patterson.kicks-ass.net/~stainer/
[03:34] <[Solars]> don't want to limit access
[03:35] <[Solars]> just to make it so i don't have to sudo every time i want to move or rename a file ;p;
[03:35] <[Solars]> smb users don't have that problem
[03:35] <[Solars]> its just doing it locally it has the problem
[03:35] <stainer> goto /var/www/ then ln -lf /path/to/file /nameofdiryouwant
[03:36] <[Solars]> what does that do?
[03:36] <stainer> then hostname/dir in browser
[03:36] <stainer> that make a symbolic link in your www dir
[03:36] <[Solars]> nay its not a html dir
[03:36] <[Solars]> don't want to html share it
[03:36] <stainer> ah
[03:37] <stainer> sorry, I misunderstood
[03:37] <[Solars]> a web-app is downloading stuff via a apache/php interface to /dir/it/wants
[03:37] <[Solars]> i then take the files (via a crontab) from /dir/it/wants and move them to /dir/i/want
[03:38] <[Solars]> ./dir/i/want is a smb
[03:38] <[Solars]> problem is me managing the files on the local machine requires me to sudo
[03:38] <[Solars]> cuase i am not part of that user group
[03:39] <[Solars]> -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 183476236 2008-10-08 20:06 Star
[03:39] <stainer> have the crontab run a chown or whatever
[03:39] <stainer> after it moves the files
[03:39] <Redixe_home> Would anyone of you happen to bind9 guru's? :)
[03:39] <stainer> not me, sorry... I can try to find a howto for ya
[03:39] <[Solars]> stainer yea i need to adjust the script to do that, so two things to do with that script
[03:40] <Redixe_home> stainer, I found a guide and followed it (actually followed like 3) but still not working
[03:40] <[Solars]> 1) kill pid's 2) chmod moved files
[03:43] <[Solars]> how do you lookup a domains infomation?
[03:43] <[Solars]> like who owns it and such
[03:43] <stainer> instead of calling the script run * * * * /bin/mv -R /dir/a /dir/b then * * * * /bin/chown (however chown works)
[03:44] <stainer> whois at command line
[03:44] <stainer> whois google.com
[03:44] <[Solars]> heh the script is a bit more complex then that stainer
[03:44] <stainer> k
[03:44] <stainer> I suck at bash
[03:44] <stainer> dig 'domain name' gives some info too
[03:45] <[Solars]> wow i want an old domain name that got revoked
[03:46] <[Solars]> wonder why it was revoked
[03:46] <stainer> non payment?
[03:47] <[Solars]> no idea
[03:47] <[Solars]> i should contact them
[03:47] <[Solars]> its a server name i used to play on when i first started playing with linux
[03:50] <stainer> Redixe: Sorry, not very good with bind... I would just follow the directions on howtoforge
[03:50] <stainer> and you already have that kinda info
[03:56] <[Solars]> hopefully, i can get that domain name un-revoked
[03:59] <stainer> ok, its my bed time. night :)

[10:40] <lionel> Hi. Does somedoby already encounter a problem with Outlook clients (yes, I know sorry...) with postfix 2.5 with SSL port ? It works great with Thunderbird and with Outlook on port 25, but trying on SSL port leads me to a non understandable "client host rejected: Access denied" in logs :(
[10:41] <lionel> (I said postfix 2.5 because the same Outlook works with a postfix 2.2 on a Dapper server)
[12:56] <ScottK> lionel: What version of Outlook.
[12:57] <ScottK> lionel: Which port do you consider the 'ssl' port?
[12:57] <lionel> ScottK: I found my problem (sorry for not answering myself)
[12:57] <lionel> it's a Outlook 2003
[12:58] <lionel> In fact, in hardy, the following option was added to smtps (or submission) :  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
[12:58] <lionel> and even when I ask for smtp-auth on my outlook client, it does send authentication
[12:59] <lionel> and I'm rejected :)
[12:59] <lionel> I'm afraid it's a pure Outlook problem :(

[19:48] <tafsen> How can I start programs at startup if I don't have a GUI?
[19:58] <jpugh> tafsen: add a script to /etc/init.d and use update-rc.d to manage how it starts
[19:58] <jpugh> tafsen: what is the app
[20:02] <tafsen> rtorrent
[20:02] <tafsen> jpugh: But I'll guess I'll be adding more progs later on
[20:13] <jpugh> a lot of apps will have init scripts...not sure if rtorrent does - doubt it
[20:13] <tafsen> #!/bin/bash
[20:14] <tafsen> rtorrent
[20:14] <tafsen> would that do it?
[20:15] <tafsen> jpugh: Btw, what parameters do I use with update-rc.d ?
[20:21] <jpugh> your script would work and you need update-rc.d <script> defaults to simply run it
[20:21] <jpugh> man update-rc.d gives you detail
[20:22] <jpugh> make sure your script is executable
[20:36] <tafsen> jpugh: Isn't it a bad idea to run programs like rtorrent as root?
[20:36] <hads> That's not something you'd want to rn as root.
[20:37] <hads> YOu can start them as your user from cron with @reboot
[20:39] <jpugh> agreed - never said it was a good idea
[20:39] <jpugh> you could sudo -u <user> from your script as well
[20:41] <tafsen> hads: That sounds like a good idea :)
[20:43] <hads> tafsen: A nifty way to start things as boot is to start them with `screen -d -m -S name_here /path/to/command` from cron
[20:43] <hads> THen when you want to conect to them you can use `screen -r name_here`
