KnifaWhen I ssh into my 8.10 server, I see a little system information usage printout. How is that done?00:32
KnifaI looked in the ssh config and in pam.d but I couldn't find it at all.00:32
ScottKLoveGuru: I'm not familiar with grsecurity, but I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with the security measures already built into Ubuntu's kernel and the overall system before adding potentially incompatible 3rd party tools.00:43
ScottKLoveGuru: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam has links to some of the relevant information.00:45
LoveGuruScottK: thanks was not here :)01:33

jmarsdenWhat is the package name in Intrepid that adds mod_security (for apache2) ?05:06
ropetinapt-cache search mod_security05:08
ropetinWhat does that give you?05:08
jmarsdenNothing, that's why I am asking :-)05:09
ropetinHehhe, OK05:09
jmarsdenLooks like it used to be called libapache2-mod-security in earlier releases, but... something seems to have changed in Intrepid05:11
ropetinYeah, I couldn't find it at all05:11
jmarsdenGoogle searches show howtos for older distro versions, none yet for Intrepid... hmm.  And it is not in /etc/apache2/mods-available/ by default, I checked there also.05:12
keesjmarsden: Debian (and Ubuntu) removed mod-security from the archives: http://packages.qa.debian.org/liba/libapache-mod-security.html05:20

uvirtbotDebian bug 313615 in libapache-mod-security "License conflict makes binary undistributable" [Grave,Open]05:21
jmarsdenAh, thanks.  Sad, but that explains it.05:21
keesyeah.  if the upstream could be convinced to relicense, that'd be nice.  :P05:21
jmarsdenHmm, apparently the Apache2 licence is officially GPLv3 comptible, but not GPLv2 compatible...05:24
jmarsdenUpstream already fixed the license!  http://blog.modsecurity.org/2008/06/modsecurity-lic.html05:26
jmarsdenI wonder how hard it would be for me to package it? :-)05:27
keesjmarsden: should be pretty easy -- just grab the old packaging.  :)  http://packages.qa.debian.org/liba/libapache-mod-security.html05:28

lukehasnonameSo what's happening with this bug? Is the lib going to be added, or is ebox going to be modified to not depend on that lib?09:41

fritharpu, well just install a bootloader to start with15:38
frithi would just put on grub15:38
arpuhi frith i think grub is installed from 8.0415:38
frithwell it shouldn't simply vanish15:38
frithyou might want to manually reinstall it if you are worried15:39
arpuhow can i do this15:39
frithhmmm15:40

yann2but no  1.4.7p1.8ubuntu2 in main...19:20
yann2(ubuntu hardy x86 freshly installed)19:21
yann2works by removing openssh-client and then install openssh-server again.. but is definitely broken by default.. never seen this bug before :(19:22
ScottKYou should be installing 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 for Hardy.19:23
ScottKyann2: That one is in both hardy-security and hardy-updates.19:24
ScottKyann2: I'd suggest checking to make sure you have the security updates repository enabled.19:24
yann2oh -updates and -security, that must be what i am missing19:24
