Canaris_hey there02:57
Canaris_a bit off topic, but do you guys prefer monit or nagios? I am currently running monit and I always here how great nagios is. I checked out the nagios project site and it looks good, but doesn't really make me wanna give up monit. any reviews or thoughts on that?02:58

[Solars]erm how do i decompress a *.7z.001 files? (have a .001 and a .002 file)04:29
[Solars]also have a .003 file04:33
azteechsolars ... sounds like you have a single zip file that was broken up into multiples ... or you have the same file saved multiple times ....04:35
[Solars]yea but ic an't find anything that will unsplit and extract04:35
[Solars]lzma -d my.file.z7.* doesn't work04:35
azteechhave you googled for .z7 extension?04:36
[Solars]been looking04:36
[Solars]i know what z7 is04:36
[Solars]can't figure out why it won't decompress04:36
azteechmaybe someone renamed it?04:38
chmacIs there any way to lose root privileges as root?04:51
chmacThe only logon I have for a server is as root, but I don't want to issue every command as root04:52
chmacI'm thinking I could su to nobody?04:52
hadssu - your_user04:53
[Solars]Chipzz make a new user to log in as if you are root on the server05:04
[Solars]so when you log in you can use the user instead of root05:04
chmacI found a user, admin, and then `su admin` did the trick :)05:15
chmacI don't usually admin the server, so I don't want to interfere by creating new users, etc05:15
hadsIf you use the command I gave you then you will get the correct environment etc.05:17
chmachads: I don't have a user on the machine, but admin will do05:32
chmac:)05:32
hadsI was referring to the command, not the user.05:32
chmacAny ideas on where to get a large file (say >200MiB) to test sftp transfer times between machines?06:53
chmacI could download something, but somehow that seems like a waste...06:54
chmacHmm, I'm trying dd if=/dev/urandom of=test.bin, I'll see how long that takes...06:58
chmacWow, it was pretty quick :)06:58

riboanyone here set up a jabberd server?19:20
xbxbHi. I've got a general question regarding network design. When you have a network of chat servers (like MSN or ICQ), how does each server keep track of users logged in on the other servers? Does each server send something like "user xyz logged in here" to all the other servers? I'm not talking about IRC servers, but peer-to-peer chat services like MSN.19:41

mathiaznijaba: a new option has been added to the -server installer to install a minimal virtual machine22:49
nijabathanks  mathiaz!22:49
mathiaznijaba: once the -virtual kernel promotion is fixed a minimal vm install takes around 356MB22:49
nijabaI guess the increase comes from the recommends22:50
nijabathat's only 56m though22:50
mathiaznijaba: probably - what is the size of a JeOS install?22:50
mathiaznijaba: 300MB?22:51
nijabaabout 30022:51
mathiaznijaba: right - I thought about asking the installer team if selecting virtual machine could ask to not install recommends22:51
mathiaznijaba: but it may not be worth as we'd introduce another type of setup22:52
mathiaznijaba: does vm-builder install recommends?22:52
nijabamathiaz: I think we are fine as is22:52
nijabamathiaz: hmmm, I should check that.22:52
nijabamathiaz: vmbuilder seems to install recommends as well, so we are fine. base vmbuilder image is 366M23:38
