[02:57] <Canaris_> hey there
[02:58] <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] <Canaris_> here -> hear
[04:29] <[Solars]> erm how do i decompress a *.7z.001 files? (have a .001 and a .002 file)
[04:33] <[Solars]> also have a .003 file
[04:35] <azteech> solars ... 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 extract
[04:35] <[Solars]> lzma -d my.file.z7.* doesn't work
[04:36] <azteech> have you googled for .z7 extension?
[04:36] <[Solars]> been looking
[04:36] <[Solars]> i know what z7 is
[04:36] <[Solars]> can't figure out why it won't decompress
[04:38] <azteech> maybe someone renamed it?
[04:51] <chmac> Is there any way to lose root privileges as root?
[04:52] <chmac> The only logon I have for a server is as root, but I don't want to issue every command as root
[04:52] <chmac> I'm thinking I could su to nobody?
[04:53] <hads> su - your_user
[05:04] <[Solars]> Chipzz make a new user to log in as if you are root on the server
[05:04] <[Solars]> so when you log in you can use the user instead of root
[05:15] <chmac> I found a user, admin, and then `su admin` did the trick :)
[05:15] <chmac> I don't usually admin the server, so I don't want to interfere by creating new users, etc
[05:17] <hads> If you use the command I gave you then you will get the correct environment etc.
[05:32] <chmac> hads: I don't have a user on the machine, but admin will do
[05:32] <chmac> :)
[05:32] <hads> I was referring to the command, not the user.
[06:53] <chmac> Any ideas on where to get a large file (say >200MiB) to test sftp transfer times between machines?
[06:54] <chmac> I could download something, but somehow that seems like a waste...
[06:58] <chmac> Hmm, I'm trying dd if=/dev/urandom of=test.bin, I'll see how long that takes...
[06:58] <chmac> Wow, it was pretty quick :)

[19:20] <ribo> anyone here set up a jabberd server?
[19:41] <xbxb> Hi. 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.

[21:17] <rjb> hello, i'm trying to make my machine talk to an ldap server for user auth, and i'm kinda stuck
[21:19] <rjb> i'm at a point where 'ldapsearch -x' shows just what i'd expect, but no ldap accounts are showing up in 'getent passwd'
[21:21] <ivoks_> did you install libpam-ldap?
[21:21] <ivoks_> and libnss-ldap
[21:21] <rjb> yep
[21:22] <ivoks_> then you didn't configure it right :/
[21:22] <[Solars]> inetutils-ftpd is the ftp server package right?
[21:23] <ivoks_> vsftpd
[21:25] <[Solars]> erm i guess i need to read the man on that to get it running
[21:26] <rjb> ivoks_: well i read all the pertinent manpages and i still have no idea what's wrong
[21:26] <skorv> hello
[21:27] <ivoks_> rjb: it's past 10pm over here and my brain works on 10% of capacity, so i can't help you any more atm
[21:27] <BUGabundo1> hello skorv
[21:27] <BUGabundo1> please explain your prob here
[21:28] <BUGabundo1> so some one can help you out, better then me
[21:28] <BUGabundo1> lo
[21:28] <skorv> need help with the install of ubuntu server in my brand new server (ICH10R Raid - Raid1)
[21:28] <skorv> i have 2 disks in Raid1
[21:28] <ivoks_> that's not raid
[21:28] <skorv> humm?
[21:29] <ivoks_> ich10 is fakeraid and as such isn't hardware raid
[21:29] <skorv> ok
[21:29] <skorv> sec then
[21:29] <ivoks_> your operating system sees all the disks
[21:29] <skorv> windows didnt
[21:29] <ivoks_> it did
[21:29] <BUGabundo1> I told you so, skorv
[21:29] <ivoks_> but you fooled it with a driver
[21:29] <skorv> dam
[21:29] <skorv> k
[21:29] <skorv> sec
[21:30] <skorv> my p45 neo3-fr has a 2nd raid controller
[21:30] <BUGabundo1> ivoks_: he woulndt believe me that that was fake raid /soft raid
[21:30] <ivoks_> if it uses CPU then it isn't hardware raid
[21:30] <BUGabundo1> and software to make it work
[21:30] <enmand_> ror.com
[21:30] <enmand_> :/
[21:31] <ivoks_> right
[21:31] <skorv> damn
[21:31] <enmand_> Sorry, was halfway typing a urk
[21:31] <enmand_> url
[21:31] <skorv> now i need hardware raid
[21:31] <ivoks_> skorv: or use linux software raid
[21:31] <ivoks_> skorv: it's much better than lots of low cost hardware raids
[21:32] <skorv> JMicron® 363
[21:32] <skorv> is it software raid as well?
[21:32] <BUGabundo1> ehehe
[21:32] <BUGabundo1> you're screwed mate
[21:32] <skorv> damn
[21:32] <skorv> i'll have to buy an adpatec
[21:32] <ivoks_> skorv: hardware raid costs over 1000$
[21:33] <ivoks_> or not... depends on where you are
[21:33] <ivoks_> anyway, i would suggest 3ware for sata disks
[21:34] <[Solars]> ivoks_ is there a setting that I missed, when i xfer a file over from a windows machine to the server I get permission denied
[21:34] <skorv> FastTrak TX2300 from promise....
[21:34] <ivoks_> skorv: forget promise
[21:34] <ivoks_> skorv: no linux drivers
[21:34] <skorv> what works
[21:34] <skorv> adaptec
[21:35] <skorv> ?
[21:35] <ivoks_> skorv: lsi, adaptec, 3ware...
[21:35] <skorv> thanks
[21:35] <ivoks_> perc from dell
[21:35] <skorv> i'll look into it
[21:35] <ivoks_> those whatever they are in hp
[21:36] <ivoks_> [Solars]: you are doing anonymous upload?
[21:36] <[Solars]> nay
[21:36] <[Solars]> i set the conf file to allow local users to log in
[21:36] <skorv> my prob... no pci-x slot :(
[21:36] <ivoks_> [Solars]: and to upload?
[21:36] <ivoks_> skorv: just use linux software raid, trust me

[21:37] <[Solars]> skorv listen to ivoks_ he know what he is talking about
[21:37] <[Solars]> software raid is muchbetter
[21:37] <ivoks_> [Solars]: write_enable=YES
[21:37] <[Solars]> erm lemme see if i miss that
[21:37] <ivoks_> doh... that drbd bug
[21:38] <skorv> so... how do i configure the motherboard.... no raid... just normal sata?
[21:38] <[Solars]> ivoks_ heh can't believe i over looked that
[21:38] <[Solars]> skorv thats correct
[21:38] <[Solars]> in the bios do not set up a raid
[21:39] <[Solars]> just set them up as sata/ide drives
[21:40] <skorv> kk... understood
[21:40] <ivoks_> openssh server should really be in rcS :D
[21:41] <BUGabundo1> is it really better then hw raid ?
[21:42] <ivoks_> it's better than some low cost hw raids
[21:42] <BUGabundo1> I know
[21:42]  * mathiaz waves ivoks_ 
[21:42] <BUGabundo1> but I always though HW would ALWAYS be better
[21:43] <skorv> your thought on Adaptec RAID 1220SA
[21:44] <ivoks_> mathiaz: hi! :)
[21:44] <ivoks_> i would never buy LSI raid anymore :D
[21:45] <skorv> its a small 2 port PCIe x1 controler
[21:45] <ivoks_> skorv: i doubt you would get anything good for that price
[21:45] <skorv> about 60€
[21:45] <ivoks_> right
[21:45] <skorv> it fits my mb
[21:45] <skorv> i have no pcie 4x slots or pcix
[21:46] <ivoks_> skorv: i don't remember when was the last time i used adaptec for non-scsi disks, if ever
[21:46] <skorv> i did a moth ago
[21:46] <skorv> hardware raid on a 2003 server
[21:46] <skorv> month
[21:46] <skorv> :(
[21:47] <ivoks_> fwiw, i just love 3ware
[21:47] <ivoks_> it even has nice tools for linux
[21:47] <skorv> no pcie x1 card :(
[21:48] <ivoks_> good night all
[21:48] <skorv> good night
[22:04] <skorv> i'm leaving windows as my personal server and moving to ubuntu
[22:04] <skorv> its proving a lot more dificult
[22:04] <skorv> than i expected
[22:09] <samuraipenguin> skorv: i may get shunned, but my home fileserver is server 2003.  However, my production web and mail servers are all ubuntu.
[22:09] <specialKevin> skorv: what problems are you running into
[22:13] <skorv> disapointed 1st cuz my brand new p45 ich10r suckz
[22:14] <skorv> i'm starting a business so the best cost effective server i can get is a linux server
[22:15] <skorv> cuz if i'm caught with a windows server i wold have to pay enouth money that i could buy 3 or 4
[22:29] <skorv> so... linux
[22:29] <skorv> fast... stabe
[22:29] <skorv> stable
[22:29] <skorv> and free
[22:43] <skorv> if i can make everything work
[22:43] <skorv> i'll be really happy
[22:49] <mathiaz> nijaba: a new option has been added to the -server installer to install a minimal virtual machine
[22:49] <nijaba> thanks  mathiaz!
[22:49] <mathiaz> nijaba: once the -virtual kernel promotion is fixed a minimal vm install takes around 356MB
[22:50] <nijaba> I guess the increase comes from the recommends
[22:50] <nijaba> that's only 56m though
[22:50] <mathiaz> nijaba: probably - what is the size of a JeOS install?
[22:51] <mathiaz> nijaba: 300MB?
[22:51] <nijaba> about 300
[22:51] <mathiaz> nijaba: right - I thought about asking the installer team if selecting virtual machine could ask to not install recommends
[22:52] <mathiaz> nijaba: but it may not be worth as we'd introduce another type of setup
[22:52] <mathiaz> nijaba: does vm-builder install recommends?
[22:52] <nijaba> mathiaz: I think we are fine as is
[22:52] <nijaba> mathiaz: hmmm, I should check that.
[23:38] <nijaba> mathiaz: vmbuilder seems to install recommends as well, so we are fine. base vmbuilder image is 366M
