How is that done? [00:32] I looked in the ssh config and in pam.d but I couldn't find it at all. [00:43] 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] LoveGuru: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam has links to some of the relevant information.

[05:08] apt-cache search mod_security [05:08] What does that give you? [05:09] Nothing, that's why I am asking :-) [05:09] Hehhe, OK [05:11] Looks like it used to be called libapache2-mod-security in earlier releases, but... something seems to have changed in Intrepid [05:11] Yeah, I couldn't find it at all [05:12] 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] jmarsden: Debian (and Ubuntu) removed mod-security from the archives: http://packages.qa.debian.org/liba/libapache-mod-security.html [05:21] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=313615 [05:21] Debian bug 313615 in libapache-mod-security "License conflict makes binary undistributable" [Grave,Open] [05:21] Ah, thanks. Sad, but that explains it. [05:21] yeah. if the upstream could be convinced to relicense, that'd be nice. :P [05:24] Hmm, apparently the Apache2 licence is officially GPLv3 comptible, but not GPLv2 compatible... [05:26] Upstream already fixed the license! http://blog.modsecurity.org/2008/06/modsecurity-lic.html [05:27] I wonder how hard it would be for me to package it? :-) [05:28] jmarsden: should be pretty easy -- just grab the old packaging. :) http://packages.qa.debian.org/liba/libapache-mod-security.html [09:27] When setting up a mail server (postfix), is there a way to have to accept emails for $user@...... without $user existing on the system.

[15:37] i think i use grub but in the menu list now 8.10 kernel is shown [15:37] iam afraid to restart the server :-/ [15:38] arpu, well just install a bootloader to start with [15:38] i would just put on grub [15:38] hi frith i think grub is installed from 8.04 [15:38] well it shouldn't simply vanish [15:39] you might want to manually reinstall it if you are worried [15:39] how can i do this [15:40] hmmm [15:40] its more worrying you don't know how, its fair simple however [15:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [15:42] frith: hmm but this is a simple update why this dies not work ? [15:44] i do an update-grub [15:44] i hope this works now ? [15:44] did the dist upgrade work? [15:45] yes i do an do-release-upgrade [15:46] well if you look in /boot/grub/menu.lst [15:46] you will see some kernels [15:46] make sure they exists [15:46] yes now after update-grub the new kernel is in there [15:46] and it exists in /boot? [15:46] i would manually rub grub [15:47] if i was paranoid [15:47] the problem is you don't sound too sure if you are using lilo or grub at boot time [15:47] i have no lilo in /boot [15:51] dpkg -l | grep lilo [15:51] arpu, lilo is in /etc [15:51] /etc/lilo.conf [15:51] iirc [15:51] ii lilo 1:22.8-4ubuntu1 LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can loa [15:51] ok so it is installed [15:51] so someone has been playing [15:52] i have no lilo.conf [15:52] like i said, to make yourself confident that it will reboot just run grub again [15:53] update-grub ?

[16:16] 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] NCommander: this server is in an server house [16:16] i can not use a cd :D [16:21] anyone can hep ? [16:50] :-/ [17:02] arpu, i guess you didn't see if you could install grub? [17:02] i think it is installed [17:03] so when the server starts up you get a grub boot menu? or press esc [17:05] i only have a remote ssh account [17:05] and i am afraid of reboot the server === david is now known as Guest30588 [17:24] installing ubuntu server 8.10 on new server. server won't boot off the main SCSI hardrive.

At least now I have an operating system.
