| scuser | hi all, does any one know how to force a linux box not to use simple bind when trying to login ? | 08:29 |
| RockHound | scuser: you are still at it? | 08:37 |
| scuser | RockHound: yes :'( | 08:37 |
| RockHound | have you asked in other chats? openldap, kerberos etc? | 08:37 |
| scuser | RockHound: I'm trying at ubuntu and openldap but in vain | 08:38 |
| RockHound | scuser: maybe you should rethink how you phrase the question | 08:44 |
| scuser | RockHound: simply now I found that I need to let the client know somehow how to bind, I think the user to bind and the method but I don't know how or where to configure this | 08:46 |
| scuser | RockHound: the client now try to use simple bind and the server deny this and I want the client to use another method other than simple bind. This is the question now | 08:48 |
| RockHound | again: which tools / services are you asking your question for? No one here can read your mind of what your setup looks like. | 08:48 |
| scuser | RockHound: I'm using ubuntu 8.04 I have installed kerberos 5, slapd and ldap-utils as my client those are the tools I've installed | 08:50 |
| scuser | RockHound: In the startup of the system I want the system to contact ldap server to get the user info so I get it a ticket and I want the system to use it when It's trying to connect to ldap not to use simple bind as this is risky and insecure | 08:51 |
| soren | scuser: I think you'll have more luck if you ask how to get it to "do X" rather than ask how to get it to "not do Y". | 08:58 |
| soren | scuser: The answer to the latter is always simple: Turn the machine off. :) | 08:59 |
| RockHound | soren: ;) | 09:02 |
| RockHound | scuser: to get a helpful answer, rephrasing the question to get a precise and accurate short description of what you want to do. I am sure that the openldap chat can help you then. | 09:03 |
| scuser | ok thanks a lot :) | 09:04 |

| scuser | hi all, does anyone know how to make a script that runs automatically and renews a kerberos ticket in certain time every day? | 10:06 |
| nijaba | scuser: cron would allow you to run such a script on a regular basis. now I have no clue what the kerberos ticket renewal would look like | 10:12 |
| scuser | nijaba: It's just using kinit command to get a new ticket after the old one expires | 10:13 |

But i'm more inclined to use a linux distro, in this case, ubuntu... So i need to know more about the USE distro... in comparison to MSWSBS 2003/2008 | 15:52 |

| Koon | Helder_Geocrete: for the other features see the Server Guide | 15:58 |
| Koon | http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ | 15:59 |

| mathiaz | kirkland: great - let's see if raid0 and raid5 are working | 17:12 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: it may just be an issue with partman-auto-raid that gets stuck | 17:12 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: let me check booting degraded right quite | 17:12 |
| kirkland | quick | 17:12 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: boot degraded continues to work, great | 17:14 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: in all of my tests, i have one large / filesystem, and one small swap | 17:18 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: right - for raid0 and raid5 you'll have to create another partition for /boot | 17:19 |

| mdz | kirkland: dendrobates seems to say that it's not necessary yet | 17:52 |
| kirkland | mdz: i'll add a comment there, but here's the skinny... | 17:52 |
| kirkland | mdz: when we rsync with debian open-iscsi for jaunty, there will be some significant improvements in terms of the boot procedures, including a blip of code in the init script that says: | 17:53 |
| kirkland | log_daemon_msg "Mounting network filesystems" | 17:53 |
| kirkland | MOUNT_RESULT=1 | 17:53 |
| kirkland | if mount -a -O _netdev >/dev/null 2>&1; then | 17:53 |
| kirkland | MOUNT_RESULT=0 | 17:53 |
| kirkland | break | 17:54 |
| kirkland | fi | 17:54 |
| kirkland | log_end_msg $MOUNT_RESULT | 17:54 |
| kirkland | mdz: we don't currently have that code in intrepid (and I'm not proposing we add it) | 17:54 |
| kirkland | mdz: however, if we do add _netdev to iscsi fstab entries, it could help us on upgrades from intrepid -> jaunty | 17:54 |
| kirkland | mdz: otherwise, we'll need some logic to figure out what fstab entries are iscsi and need _netdev added at upgrade time | 17:55 |
| kirkland | mdz: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-target/+bug/284107 updated accordingly | 17:59 |

| mathiaz | zul: but not able to log into it | 18:03 |
| zul | cool | 18:03 |
| mdz | kirkland: ok, so there's no point at all in changing it for Intrepid unless we add the new init script code as well, which we aren't going to do | 18:07 |
| kirkland | mdz: fair enough | 18:08 |
| mdz | kirkland: I was just echoing back my understanding of what you said :-) | 18:12 |
| kirkland | mdz: yes, that is my recommendation | 18:12 |
| kirkland | mdz: i will be syncing/merging open-iscsi and working on it for Jaunty when the archive opens | 18:13 |
| kirkland | mdz: but I don't think it's worth change it for Intrepid now | 18:13 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: verified lvm install works | 18:15 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: RAID0 isn't working so well | 18:15 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: does it get stuck? | 18:15 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: if i have a separate /boot partition, yeah gets stuck | 18:15 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: where? | 18:16 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: if i don't have a separate /boot partition, it finishes, but it's not bootable | 18:16 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: well - it's normal; | 18:16 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: grub doesn't support raid0 AFAICT | 18:16 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: okay, but the hang isn't normal | 18:17 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: could you run a ps -ef in the vm during install? | 18:17 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: agreed. I've seen the same thing. | 18:17 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: are you testing on an intrepid host? | 18:17 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: and are you doing a manual partition of raid0? | 18:17 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: intrepid host, yest | 18:17 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: ok - I was thinking it may be an issue with the virtualization stack | 18:18 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: manually partitioned, sda1 = 2G, sda2 = 128M, sdb1 = 2G, sdb2 = 128M | 18:18 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: as we're using more then one block device to do that experiment | 18:18 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: sda1+sdb1 = raid0 of 4G, with / | 18:18 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: sda2 = /boot | 18:18 |
| kirkland | MatBoy: sdb2 = swap | 18:18 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: ok - so if you don't put /boot on a separate partition the installer proceed correctly? | 18:19 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: it completes | 18:19 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: ok | 18:20 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: http://people.ubuntu.com/~mathiaz/intrepid-i386-raid5-ps-ef.png | 18:20 |

| kirkland | mathiaz: hmm, 07root_on_raid is mine.... | 18:20 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: i've tested the crap out of that on raid1 | 18:20 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: let me look at that code again | 18:21 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: the fact that the install completes when you have /boot on the same partition may point to an issue with boot | 18:21 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: you don't have a process fstab.d/hostboot? | 18:21 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: I think that's where the problem may be | 18:22 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: both raid{0,5} install are stuck with the same processes running | 18:22 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: both installs have /boot on a raid1 array in order to be able to boot | 18:22 |

| sommer | since by default ubuntu-server has no gui... | 23:08 |
| sommer | by default anyway | 23:08 |
| soundray | sommer: that's what I'm wondering. I regularly forward a machine that doesn't have a full GUI installation -- but it must have some base X packages that kandjar is missing. | 23:09 |
| nikkolay | hi guys. I need to move some instalation, but i need to backup a few mysql db... can i copy the /var/lib/mysql to the new server? | 23:16 |
| nikkolay | or that doesn't work? | 23:17 |
| sommer | nikkolay: I'd use mysqldump | 23:18 |
| nikkolay | ok | 23:22 |
| trashguy | soundray, X11 on a server? | 23:22 |
| nikkolay | maybe something like: mysqldump --all-databases > /home/nikko/bakcups/mysql.sql | 23:22 |
| nikkolay | ? | 23:22 |
| trashguy | what kind of insanity is this | 23:22 |
| soundray | trashguy: not everything that you cannot immediately relate to is insanity | 23:26 |
| soundray | trashguy: I'll give you an example, if you're interested | 23:26 |
| trashguy | I can see | 23:26 |
| trashguy | no reasoning of waisting server resources on x | 23:26 |
| soundray | That's the point, there is no wasting of resources | 23:27 |
| trashguy | unless you are doing some sort of thin client thing and the soul purpose is centralized desktop etc | 23:27 |
| soundray | I'm running CPU intensive processes on a remote cluster. It outputs images to a filesystem local to the cluster. | 23:28 |
| trashguy | okay | 23:28 |
| soundray | To view those images, I log into the login server of the cluster with X forwarding enabled and launch a viewer that displays selected sections from 3D or 4D image volumes. | 23:28 |
| soundray | The graphical output is forwarded through an encrypted tunnel to be displayed locally on my (full) X server. | 23:29 |
| soundray | The remote machine needs only basic X functionality installed, e.g. xauth | 23:30 |
| trashguy | i did something similar with a render cluster | 23:30 |
| trashguy | i just set up webdav to remotely open the images | 23:30 |
| soundray | which, btw, was what was missing on kandjar's server. Now it's installed -- problem fixed | 23:30 |
| soundray | trashguy: doesn't that mean that you have to transfer the entire file before it can be displayed? | 23:33 |
| trashguy | yes | 23:34 |
| trashguy | i can see | 23:34 |
| soundray | That would be a clear disadvantage for my scenario | 23:34 |
| trashguy | yes | 23:34 |
| trashguy | i agree | 23:34 |
| trashguy | majority of the people i see running x is to avoid command line though | 23:34 |
| soundray | Burn them at the stake! | 23:36 |
| soundray | :) | 23:36 |
| trashguy | i been using freebsd to long im a cli nazi | 23:36 |
| trashguy | ^^ | 23:36 |
| uvirtbot | trashguy: Error: "^" is not a valid command. | 23:36 |
| trashguy | Zimbra doesn't play nice | 23:37 |
| trashguy | with FreeBSD | 23:37 |
| trashguy | so here I am ;) | 23:37 |
| soundray | Content management? | 23:38 |
| trashguy | Exchange alternative | 23:38 |
| soundray | Oh, groupware | 23:38 |
| soundray | trashguy: do you have a suggestion for calendar and todo lists that works well on the command line? | 23:40 |
| soundray | A PIM application? | 23:41 |
| trashguy | soundray, not somuch on CLI | 23:54 |
| trashguy | i been inundated by the bras on how much they loved outlook at their old jobs | 23:54 |
| trashguy | s/bras/brass/ | 23:54 |
| soundray | trashguy: I'll try 'when' | 23:56 |
| trashguy | we are currently using oracle calendar | 23:57 |
| trashguy | it iwll be nice when that is gone and I have one less solaris machine to deal with ^^ | 23:58 |
