[00:22] <LoveGuru> akuma55: sorry didn't know anythg about "fwknop" well grsecurity i believe is for secure kernel

[00:32] <Knifa> When I ssh into my 8.10 server, I see a little system information usage printout. How is that done?
[00:32] <Knifa> I looked in the ssh config and in pam.d but I couldn't find it at all.
[00:43] <ScottK> LoveGuru: 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.
[00:45] <ScottK> LoveGuru: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam has links to some of the relevant information.
[01:33] <LoveGuru> ScottK: thanks was not here :)
[05:06] <jmarsden> What is the package name in Intrepid that adds mod_security (for apache2) ?
[05:08] <ropetin> apt-cache search mod_security
[05:08] <ropetin> What does that give you?
[05:09] <jmarsden> Nothing, that's why I am asking :-)
[05:09] <ropetin> Hehhe, OK
[05:11] <jmarsden> Looks like it used to be called libapache2-mod-security in earlier releases, but... something seems to have changed in Intrepid
[05:11] <ropetin> Yeah, I couldn't find it at all
[05:12] <jmarsden> Google 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.
[05:20] <kees> jmarsden: Debian (and Ubuntu) removed mod-security from the archives: http://packages.qa.debian.org/liba/libapache-mod-security.html
[05:21] <kees> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=313615
[05:21] <jmarsden> Ah, thanks.  Sad, but that explains it.
[05:21] <kees> yeah.  if the upstream could be convinced to relicense, that'd be nice.  :P
[05:24] <jmarsden> Hmm, apparently the Apache2 licence is officially GPLv3 comptible, but not GPLv2 compatible...
[05:26] <jmarsden> Upstream already fixed the license!  http://blog.modsecurity.org/2008/06/modsecurity-lic.html
[05:27] <jmarsden> I wonder how hard it would be for me to package it? :-)
[05:28] <kees> jmarsden: should be pretty easy -- just grab the old packaging.  :)  http://packages.qa.debian.org/liba/libapache-mod-security.html
[09:27] <chimp> When setting up a mail server (postfix), is there a way to have to accept emails for $user@......   without $user existing on the system. I don't really want to clutter the server up with lots of users
[09:38] <lukehasnoname> bug #255368
[09:41] <lukehasnoname> So 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?
[10:01] <jmarsden> chimp: Sure there is.  Virtual users are your friend.  Try man 5 virtual or read most guides on setting up Postfix
[10:06] <jmarsden> chimp: For lots of users, yu might want to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto
[10:10] <chimp> cheers
[10:13] <jmarsden> chimp: No problem

[14:05] <Carroarmato0> Hi, I'm setting up a server using Quota's,  but when  entering the command  'quotacheck -avugm'   I get a message saying that although the kernel has support for journaled quota's, it's not enabled. How can I change that?
[15:03] <lucabecchetti> hi boys, i create a repository in /home/svn/repos and all work fine, form more computers i con checkout the repos, now i go to my webroot from console and in /var/www/proj i checkout a repository with users test, then i create a post-commit script, but i recevie this error, svn: Can't open file '/var/www/proj/.svn/lock': Permission denied, if i use sudo all it's ok, i use ubuntu server, some idea?????
[15:13] <lucabecchetti> ok, i delete all, now i have a repository correctly created, and i need to create a working copy in apache2 root
[15:13] <lucabecchetti> how can i do???
[15:23] <lucabecchetti> nobody can help me?
[15:27] <frith> i want to create an catch all alias, is this possible?
[15:27] <frith> *: user
[15:36] <arpu> hello
[15:36] <arpu> i do an update from 8.04 to 8.10 with sudo do-release-upgrade
[15:36] <arpu> at the beginning the programm say i have to start liloconf ?
[15:37] <arpu> i think i use grub but in the menu list now 8.10 kernel is shown
[15:37] <arpu> iam afraid to restart the server :-/
[15:38] <frith> arpu, well just install a bootloader to start with
[15:38] <frith> i would just put on grub
[15:38] <arpu> hi frith i think grub is installed from 8.04
[15:38] <frith> well it shouldn't simply vanish
[15:39] <frith> you might want to manually reinstall it if you are worried
[15:39] <arpu> how can i do this
[15:40] <frith> hmmm
[15:40] <frith> its more worrying you don't know how, its fair simple however
[15:41] <frith> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[15:42] <arpu> frith:  hmm but this is a simple update why this dies not work ?
[15:44] <arpu> i do an update-grub
[15:44] <arpu> i hope this works now ?
[15:44] <frith> did the dist upgrade work?
[15:45] <arpu> yes i do an do-release-upgrade
[15:46] <frith> well if you look in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[15:46] <frith> you will see some kernels
[15:46] <frith> make sure they exists
[15:46] <arpu> yes now after update-grub the new kernel is in there
[15:46] <frith> and it exists in /boot?
[15:46] <frith> i would manually rub grub
[15:47] <frith> if i was paranoid
[15:47] <frith> the problem is you don't sound too sure if you are using lilo or grub at boot time
[15:47] <arpu> i have no lilo in /boot
[15:51] <frith> dpkg -l | grep lilo
[15:51] <frith> arpu, lilo is in /etc
[15:51] <frith> /etc/lilo.conf
[15:51] <frith> iirc
[15:51] <arpu> ii  lilo                                  1:22.8-4ubuntu1               LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can loa
[15:51] <frith> ok so it is installed
[15:51] <frith> so someone has been playing
[15:52] <arpu> i have no lilo.conf
[15:52] <frith> like i said, to make yourself confident that it will reboot just run grub again
[15:53] <arpu> update-grub ?
[15:53] <frith> grub
[15:53] <frith> root (hd0)
[15:54] <frith> boot (hd0,1)
[15:54] <frith> depends how the system is configured
[15:55] <arpu> hmm my fstab lokks strange
[15:55] <arpu> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
[15:55] <arpu> none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
[15:55] <arpu> /dev/sda1 none swap sw 0 0
[15:55] <arpu> /dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults,relatime 0 0
[15:55] <arpu> no UIDS ?
[16:02] <frith> do you have /dev/sda ?
[16:04] <arpu> yes sda  sda1  sda2
[16:05] <frith> you should be fine
[16:06] <frith> hmmm, what should i use for a webmail client?
[16:10] <arpu> boot (hd0,1)
[16:10] <arpu> Starting up ...
[16:10] <arpu> Error 8: Kernel must be loaded before booting
[16:11] <NCommander> arpu, sounds like grub decided to go bleck
[16:12] <arpu> NCommander: sorry i do not understand
[16:12] <NCommander> arpu, it sounds like your grub configuration went and self-destructed
[16:13] <arpu> what can i do ?
[16:16] <NCommander> arpu, grab a Ubuntu server CD (or an Ubuntu Desktop alternate CD), type rescue at the prompt, then try to reinstall the bootloader
[16:16] <arpu> NCommander: this server is in an server house
[16:16] <arpu> i can not use a cd :D
[16:21] <arpu> anyone can hep ?
[16:50] <arpu> :-/
[17:02] <frith> arpu, i guess you didn't see if you could install grub?
[17:02] <arpu> i think it is installed
[17:03] <frith> so when the server starts up you get a grub boot menu? or press esc
[17:05] <arpu> i only have a remote ssh account
[17:05] <arpu> and i am afraid of reboot the server
[17:24] <Guest30588> installing ubuntu server 8.10 on new server. server won't boot off the main SCSI hardrive. GRUB says that the device does not exist by UUID.
[17:26] <david_trebacz> i have reinstalled from the CD several times and reformated pertions. Each time I get stuck at this point.
[17:28] <david_trebacz> new to IRC -I'm aslo guest30588 -sorry
[17:30] <david_trebacz> My system is using and Adaptec onboard SCSI controller AIC-7902, but I'm not trying to do anything with redundant disks at this point. Just get a booted ubuntu server system.
[17:36] <david_trebacz> Actual error message by grub is: Gave up on waiting for root device. ALERT! dev/disk/by-uuid/ disk ID here does not exist. Dropping to shell. I'm now sitting at a busybox shell prompt.
[17:37] <arpu> david_trebacz: maybe i have the same problem
[17:37] <ssd7> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/278176
[17:38] <ssd7> i think that is the same problem too
[17:40] <ssd7> there seem to be some work arounds in there
[17:41] <ssd7> about using rootdelay= as a boot option
[17:41] <david_trebacz> Brilliant! by typing exit the server did boot allow it to boot. At least now I have an operating system.
[17:41] <jmarsden> david_trebacz: If you wait a couple of minutes and then type     exit    at the ... good :-)
[17:42] <david_trebacz> I'll read the bug report further to see if I can contrbute more information -thanks!
[17:49] <ScottK> david_trebacz: See http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Boot%20failures%20on%20systems%20with%20Intel%20D945%20motherboards
[19:20] <yann2> ahm, i got a openssh-server: cant be installed because of a dependancy...  openssh-client 1.4.7p1.8ubuntu1 (openssh-client 1/4/7p1.8ubuntu2 is to be installed)
[19:20] <yann2> but no  1.4.7p1.8ubuntu2 in main...
[19:21] <yann2> (ubuntu hardy x86 freshly installed)
[19:22] <yann2> works by removing openssh-client and then install openssh-server again.. but is definitely broken by default.. never seen this bug before :(
[19:23] <ScottK> You should be installing 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 for Hardy.
[19:24] <ScottK> yann2: That one is in both hardy-security and hardy-updates.
[19:24] <ScottK> yann2: I'd suggest checking to make sure you have the security updates repository enabled.
[19:24] <yann2> oh -updates and -security, that must be what i am missing
[19:24] <yann2> sorry for the noise
[19:24] <ScottK> yann2: No problem.  You do want those.
[22:05] <frith> hi i am looking for mod-security for apache
[23:59] <XiXaQ> I'm going to setup an ldap/nfs system for centralized users. The guides I read all mention the use of automount. Is there any disadvantage to having /home mounted from nfs all the time?
