[00:57] <kdb424> Can someone answer a quick static IP question for me?
[00:58] <ScottK> Depends on the question.
[01:01] <kdb424> What do I need to change in the /etc/resolv.conf file?
[01:01] <kdb424> I don't have any idea how to do this any more. lol
[01:01] <hads> Did you actually just laugh out loud then?
[01:02] <kdb424> Actually yes.
[01:03] <hads> Okay then. All you need in your resolv.conf is pointers to your dns servers, ala; nameserver 1.2.3.4
[01:03] <kdb424> Ok. I know I find that in ipconfig /all
[01:03] <ScottK> Apparently the answer to your first question is yes.
[01:03] <hads> giggle
[01:04] <kdb424> but I don't remember what I am looking for as information in there
[01:05] <kdb424> someone want to ssh it and I'll start a screen so I can learn?
[01:06] <kdb424> I really have no idea what the info is, but I know where it all is. I just hate not knowing what to look for
[01:07] <ScottK> kdb424: Free security lesson: To modify that file you'd have to give them root access to your box.  From there on you may as well assume it's their box, not yours.
[01:07] <hads> I don't understand what your issue is. You know your nameserver IP? Put a line in resolv.conf - that's it.
[01:08] <kdb424> ScottK: No, because in a screen session, I can enter text (like passwords) too. I can give them a non admin account to use.
[01:08] <kdb424> hads. I don't know what line to look for.
[01:08] <hads> Still don't get it. `man resolv.conf`
[01:12] <kdb424> I guess I don
[01:12] <kdb424> I don't have to touch it
[01:13] <kdb424> All fixed. Didn't touch it

[11:40] <RainCT> Hi
[11:47] <RainCT> I've setup the LDAP pam stuff like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/56262/ but it doesn't work (getent passwd' doesn't ). Can someone tell me what is missing?
[11:48] <RainCT> * ("getent passwd" doesn't show the LDAP users, only the local ones, and if I try to login with my local user I get asked for "LDAP Password" after the local password -but leaving it empty the login still works- and LDAP users get rejected after asking for the local password)
[11:58] <RainCT> oh, works now
[11:59] <RainCT> debconf had a  ldapi:///  at the start of the URI, that was causing the problem
[12:02] <RainCT> well, I see the users now with getent, but I still have the login problems
[12:18] <RainCT> Is there any way so that I don't get asked the local password for users which only exist on LDAP? (ie, I changed "auth sufficient pam_ldap.so" to "auth sufficient pam_ldap.so use_first_password" and now I can login with local users without getting asked the LDAP users, but if I login with an LDAP user it still asks me the local password -which I can leave empty- and then the LDAP one)
[12:21] <rexibit> How easy is it to run an apache web server on ubuntu?
[12:22] <RainCT> rexibit: very easy :)
[12:23] <rexibit> oo, so I can run ubuntu at home and run it off my DSL?
[12:23] <RainCT> rexibit: for Apache + PHP + MySQL, iirc "sudo aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql" should do it
[12:23] <RainCT> rexibit: sure :)
[12:24] <Deeps> or apt-get install lamp-server^
[12:24] <Deeps> or use tasksel to see what other easy servre options you have
[12:24] <Deeps> server*
[12:24] <RainCT> rexibit: and then if you want you can sign up on dyndns.org and use ddclient to have a nice URL always pointing to your PC
[12:24] <RainCT> Deeps: uhm.. that doesn't seem to work here (Hardy)
[12:25] <Deeps> the ^ is necessary
[12:25] <Deeps> specifies that it's a task, rather than a package
[12:26] <RainCT> oh ok
[12:26] <rexibit> Ah, thanks.
[12:26] <Deeps> tasksel is nice though
[12:26] <Deeps> shows all the other easy install options available to you
[12:26] <Deeps> ssh, mail, web, print, file, and on
[12:26] <RainCT> indeed, didn't know about it :)
[12:27] <Deeps> tasksel --help if you dont like curses environments too
[12:27] <rexibit> what is a curses environment?
[12:27] <RainCT> rexibit: that what you see if you run "tasksel"
[12:27] <Deeps> that pseudo graphical type environment, blue background, checkboxes, etc.
[12:28] <RainCT> sort of a GUI for command line
[12:28] <rexibit> ah, like the command promt
[12:28] <RainCT> rexibit: have you ever used the alternate install?
[12:29] <rexibit> I have never set up a server before (I'm a bit noobish)
[12:30] <RainCT> (Doesn't anyone here know how to setup LDAP Authentication? I can't get it to only ask once for the password..)
[12:39] <backenfutter> I seem to be having a hard time getting modssl to do what it is supposed to do... I fallowed a wiki howto twice and googled some boards, but still keep on getting: ssl_error_rx_record_too_lon in FF | could it be that I've screwed up on my vHost.conf? here's the paste: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392345/ | I'd be very greatfull for a little push thx
[12:40] <yann2> hello
[12:41] <yann2> I've got a quite serious problem with installing Ubuntu server 8.04.1 64 on a sun xfire 2100 (supported hardware)
[12:41] <yann2> here is what I did:
[12:41] <yann2> I've manually setup the partitions, with a LVM over software raid1, and then installed
[12:41] <yann2> sadly the installation got interrupted, my CD was corrupt
[12:42] <yann2> a couple of memcheck, md5 checks, a download etc later, I retry to install
[12:42] <yann2> when going to the partitioner, it shows up the 2 disks, setup as RAID devices, but no raid
[12:42] <yann2> then I go to configure raid, and it shows me a raid called something_md1
[12:43] <yann2> (which didnt appear before)
[12:43] <yann2> so I go back, without changing anything, and I get a new raid device, the one I configured in my previous install, setup as LVM - sadly i can NOT delete it (it says its being in use)
[12:44] <yann2> then I can change the type of the disks the raid is supposed to be based on, and change them to ext3
[12:44] <yann2> leaving the partitioner in a completely inconsistent state (2 disks, partitioned as ext3, and a raid1 on top of it, with LVM)
[12:45] <yann2> even if I leave the raid and try to use it, the installer complains that "it couldnt read the raid table partition" and I should reboot before using it
[12:45] <yann2> now the bad part is, no matter how many times I reboot, that "dead" raid is still there, I can't delete it, and it's blocking me badly
[12:45] <yann2> any suggestion? :(
[12:46] <yann2> oups wrong button.
[13:10] <rexibit> what is a good alternative to cpanel that you use on ubuntu?
[13:11] <rexibit> I don't have the $425 to purchase a liscense
[13:12] <Adoleo> rexibit: I use Webmin and like it a lot.  It probably doesn't have all of the functionality, but it does what it can quite well.
[13:12] <rexibit> Does it have a good webmail?
[13:14] <Adoleo> rexibit: I've played around with a webmail a bit, but I don't have any comparison on whether it's 'good' or not.
[13:14] <Adoleo> rexibit: Another alternative is ISPConfig
[13:14] <rexibit> Okay, thanks. =) I will look into them. How quick is webmin to install?
[13:15] <RainCT> there's also http://www.vhcs.net/ and some other which I can't remember (but I haven't tried them)
[13:16] <RainCT> rexibit: wbmin is in the repos
[13:16] <rexibit> ooo
[13:16] <RainCT> uhm.. or at least it was, I can't find it now :S
[13:16] <Adoleo> rexibit: I usually use the .deb package from Webmin's website - it's usually a versino or two ahead of the repos
[13:17] <rexibit> Webmin looks to run on unix though.
[13:18] <rexibit> ISPConfig is linux though =)
[13:18] <RainCT> rexibit: GNU/Linux is Unix-like, and webmin definitely works on Ubuntu
[13:20] <Adoleo> rexibit: The Debian package is what you're looking for.  here's the link: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.430_all.deb
[13:20] <rexibit> thanks =)
[13:23] <Deeps> !webmin
[13:23] <Deeps> !ebox
[13:23] <Deeps> FYI
[13:24] <Deeps> Adoleo / RainCT
[13:24] <RainCT> Oh OK. I was wondering why it isn't in the repos anymore.. :)
[13:27] <rexibit> Hmm, do you use Cron jobs with it?
[13:37] <Adoleo> ubottu: I'm still actively using Webmin with Hardy, and I haveb't had any problems yet.
[13:37] <Adoleo> lol
[13:37] <Adoleo> Oh.
[13:38] <Deeps> lol
[13:38] <Deeps> cute
[13:38] <yann2> for the people interested, it seems i have found my issue, why i can not delete that raid array in the partitionair
[13:38] <Adoleo> Deeps: Ebox sounds interesting, though, I'll check it out.
[13:38] <rexibit> ubottu: don't be sad.
[13:38] <yann2> it seems the raid is being rebuilt (!?), the rebuilt being started before i get a change to delete it during the install
[13:38] <yann2> waiting for the rebuild to finish to try to delete it now.,...
[13:40] <Adoleo> Deeps: Okay, ebox looks pretty cool, actually.  Thanks for letting me know about it!  When I upgrade to Intrepid I'll use that instead.
[13:41] <Deeps> np
[14:00] <Gargoyle> What's ebox in relation to ubuntu (I have only heard of the stan alone ebox platform)
[14:04] <Gargoyle> Oh, ebox is based on ubuntu now... I thought it was redhat or centos!
[16:46] <Adri2000> is spamassassin supposed to write something in /var/log/mail.log?
[16:46] <Adri2000> when scanning an email I mean
[16:47] <Adri2000> I see no X-Spam headers at the end, and actually I'm not even sure amavis does use it
[17:30] <Adri2000> no one using spamassassin here? :-)
[18:44] <sommer> kirkland: np, sucks getting ganged up on like that :)
[18:56] <Adri2000> so, it seems my spamassassin doesn't work... I see "spamd: server started on port 783/tcp" in mail.log, but nothing when a mail is processed. I followed the server guide doc, any idea what could be wrong?
[18:59] <sommer> Adri2000: are you using amavisd-new?
[19:00] <Adri2000> yes
[19:01] <sommer> Do messages have a X-Spam, or something similar, in the header?
[19:01] <Adri2000> only X-Virus-Scanned (I use clamav for virus scanning). no X-Spam*
[19:02] <sommer> not even on outside addresses?
[19:03] <Adri2000> didn't try, but as I said, I see nothing about spamd in the log when a mail is processed, so I guess there is something wrong between amavis and spamassassin
[19:04] <Adri2000> is there a way I can make sure whether spamassassin is used or not?
[19:05] <sommer> there's an option you can lower, one sec I forget which one it is
[19:06] <sommer> Adri2000: what is your $sa_tag_level_deflt option in /etc/amavis/conf.d/20-debian_defaults?
[19:06] <Adri2000> $sa_tag_level_deflt  = 2.0;
[19:07] <sommer> try lowering it and restarting amavisd-new
[19:10] <Adri2000> sommer: still no X-Spam*
[19:10] <Adri2000> and mail.log still says amavis[9678]: (09678-01) Passed CLEAN, LOCAL
[19:10] <Adri2000> but nothing about spam
[19:12] <Adri2000> (with $sa_tag_level_deflt  = -50.0;)
[19:14] <sommer> try $sa_tag2_level_deflt
[19:18] <Adri2000> hmm, still no headers
[19:18] <Adri2000> but log says now : amavis[10366]: (10366-01) Passed SPAMMY, LOCAL
[19:19] <Adri2000> so that would mean spamassassin indeed does something in the process
[19:24] <sommer> Adri2000: yep, should be working... you might also try setting the $mydomain option specifically in 50-user
[19:25] <sommer> basically the amavis uses the machines hostname and domain name, but depening on your setup, your mail may be different
[19:33] <Adri2000> ok, thanks for your help
[19:36] <sommer> np
