[00:07] goodnight all [02:27] hello [02:27] i believe a computer is trying to brute force through ssh on my server [02:27] is this common? [02:28] CMD_L1N3: Change the port. [02:29] yes. but i was just wondering if this is a common event. i new to the server thing [02:29] or do i need to add some more counter measures [02:32] I'm not sure, I don't think I've ever had anyone try to buteforce the port. Though, I don't have use it within the outside world. I just use ssh locally since my service is on my own network. [02:32] Can anyone help me set up ddclient? [02:33] CMD_L1N3: If you're running the default port, then yes, it will happen. Change the port and set up fail2ban. [02:33] s/service/server/ [02:33] i'm looking for some help solving a problem with getting a dhcp address on a mobo with a dual nic for ltsp server [02:34] what does ltsp stand for?

There is one in Ubuntu Wiki, but it is out of date [14:13] try #ubuntu-virt [14:16] ScottK: i suppose vm-builder would end up in multiverse if the ec2 plugin is not separated. [14:17] a lightweight LAMP server should use roughly how much hard drive space? [14:18] er, i.e. ubuntu-server's core + apache / php / mysql [14:22] Koon: Zul and I discussed it, so I'm clear now. Thanks. [14:23] Anyone have a box handy that was a fresh Intrepid install (not upgraded) and has /etc/sasldb2 existing? [14:45] ScottK: no /etc/sasldb2 on my intrepid install (installed from about alpha 2/3 stage), but it has /etc/sasl2 [14:49] The sasldb2 file gets created when you add users to the database, so unless you've done that, it won't exist.

[18:57] if I can [19:06] How do I setup something like this: Internet cable goes into PC (eth0); from eth1 a cable goes into an Wireless router; the Wireless router gives Internet to other wireless devices. [19:06] I don't want to setup the regular Internet -> Wireless router -> PC/other wifi devices, because the PC has slow bandwith through the Wireless router... [19:08] so is the PC a workstation? or a server? [19:09] you could either just setup port forwarding, an easy way is to use the firestarter program.. or setup a transparent firewall [19:10] mariussss, essentially you need to setup iptables, but there are many scripts/utils to do that (like firestarter) [19:13] slicslak_: I am using firestarter [19:13] Hardy 32bit, runs in a vbox VM, uses host networkng, I changed my Host adapter on the Host system, hardy boots to no eth0, although the device still appears in lspci, would a rename to eth1 change this? [19:14] but I am stuck :) [19:14] I've setup a static IP address in /etc/network/interfaces [19:14] I just confirmed eth1 works, but what would the adapter id change in the guest... [19:14] The MAC remains the same [19:15] auto eth1 [19:15] iface eth1 inet static [19:15] address 192.168.1.1 [19:15] netmask 255.255.255.192 [19:15] broadcast 192.168.1.255 [19:15] network 192.168.1.0 [19:15] this is working after I restart the network [19:15] but I can't access the Wireless router's configuration page, which is 192.168.1.1 [19:15] :) [19:16] wait [19:16] I will [19:16] tyring to use ur box as a router? [19:17] yes [19:17] I have to network cards [19:17] In eth0 enters the main Internet cable [19:17] I want to share the Internet connection to the second network card [19:18] so it can give Internet to a Wireless router [19:18] the Wireless router will give Internet to other devices :) [19:18] complicated... I know :D [19:18] not really [19:18] you just need to add a bridge interface [19:18] mariussss: don't give your machine the same IP as the WLAN router [19:19] SchneeSchwarz: I also put 10.10.1.1 [19:19] in /etc/network/interfaces [19:19] mariussss: and why should that help? [19:20] i'm having some problems with a client connecting to my ldap server. rebooting my client yeilds udevd[2895]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://ip: Can't contact LDAP server could not connect to any LDAP server as cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=org - cant contact ldap server (i have the correct domain compontents [19:20] I know I am doing something wrong but don't know what :) [19:20] you dont have a bridge [19:20] so traffic wont pass from one card to the other [19:20] sudo apt-get install bridge-utils [19:20] but the other card has Internet [19:20] yea [19:20] hold on [19:21] the one plugged in to the interwebz [19:21] nano -w /etc/sysctl.conf [19:21] net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1 [19:21] sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 [19:21] nano -w /etc/rc.local [19:21] /sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT [19:21] /sbin/iptables --tabl nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE [19:21] bridge-utils is already the newest version.

Try if accessing the router's config page works, then. [19:23] so i have a question above regarding an ldap client can anyone help me? [19:23] i use bridiging [19:24] for all my VMs [19:24] so they get real IP addresses so the can be accessed externally etc [19:24] oh i didnt realize he was talking bout vms [19:24] no no [19:24] right now i have a server and my laptop is acting like the "clients" with vm. but thats differnt [19:25] were goignt o confuse him [19:25] ^^ [19:25] trashguy: Error: "^" is not a valid command.

Everything works now :) [19:41] but i do see the dhcp request from the client vs the server [19:41] and nfs worked properly - it created a home drive for my user on my server [19:43] trashguy: which tells me ther eis something wrong with nss / pam [19:46] Rideh, don't know what you are up to, but you can set loglevel in slapd.conf and default it is going into /var/log/syslog [19:46] Weasel[DK]: i'm not seeing any output of it in syslog [19:47] Help!

[20:06] Weasel[DK]: you mind pastebin'n your pam files and such? [20:06] and ldap.conf? [20:07] no problem, where do i check appamor ? [20:07] well you'd have done app-get remove to get rid of it [20:08] Weasel[DK]: do you have rejections in /var/log/messages [20:08] sbeattie: i'm the one with the issues his works fine [20:09] sbeattie: i'm trying to figure out whats wrong with mine ... getent passwd works fine on client after it boots after long session of spamming unable to bind to server host etc [20:09] no, so probably don't have it.... [20:09] Rideh: sorry, do you have rejections? And you should not need to apt-get remove apparmor to disable it for slpad [20:10] BTW, there's no need to uninstall apparmor to stop it. sudo sh /etc/init.d/apparmor stop will make it lay down and take a rest. [20:10] sbeattie: i cant figure out what my problem is :/ [20:11] i've been steadily working through issues, but its been 2 days and yet to see the light [20:12] here is what i've tried so far [20:12] http://pastebin.com/d11b443a5 [20:12] the very last one ln 141 is my latest try, followed the instructions at the website, then below are the modifications i made since. [20:13] ScottK: you don't even need to do that; for example, 'sudo aa-complain /usr/sbin/slapd' will disable enforcement of slapd's policy while keeping apparmor enforcement other applications [20:14] this is what i've done from the client side: http://pastebin.com/d1abcca15 [20:14] True.
