| badawi | what's the linux-virtual package? how is it different from linux-server? doesn't linux-server kernel have the xen support? | 00:09 |
|---|---|---|
| ivoks | linux-virtual is for guest operating systems | 00:10 |
| ivoks | so, if you ubuntu runs in vmware, use linux-virtual | 00:11 |
| ivoks | s/you/your | 00:11 |
| badawi | ahh i see | 00:11 |
| badawi | ivoks: thanks | 00:11 |

| dsandage | can anyone help me with a postifix issue? | 15:55 |
| dsandage | postfix, sorry | 15:55 |
| ScottK | dsandage: What issue? | 15:57 |
| dsandage | ah... ill give you the err as seen in /var/log/mail.err | 15:58 |
| dsandage | fatal: parameter smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout: bad time value or unit: 3600a | 15:59 |
| ScottK | dsandage: Please pastebin the output of postconf -n | 16:00 |
| _ruben | 3600a is most likely a typo for 3600s | 16:00 |
| ScottK | Probably. | 16:00 |
| dsandage | it ends a | 16:01 |
| dsandage | but ill go find the output of postconf here in a minute | 16:01 |
| dsandage | ill have to return | 16:03 |
| dsandage | AHHH! | 16:07 |
| dsandage | I see what you mean I think the line with the cache_timeout reads 3600a but should read 3600s | 16:07 |
| ScottK | 3600s is the default anyway, so there's no need to specify it. | 16:12 |
| dsandage | at the end of setting up postfix it tells me to telnet into the "mail.example.com" on port 25, I telnet into my mailserver at port 25 but I don't see the lines that the documentation suggests | 16:13 |
| dsandage | it doesn't do anything actualy | 16:13 |
| dsandage | it has you type "ehlo mail.example.com" | 16:13 |
| dsandage | I get nothing when plugging in ehlo and my server name | 16:14 |
| dsandage | any thoughts? | 16:19 |

| ball | Daviey: so what's the server-side news? | 17:11 |
| ball | hello EtienneG_laptop | 17:15 |
| EtienneG_laptop | hello ball, but who are you? | 17:18 |
| Daviey | ball: talking about puppet right now | 17:21 |
| ball | Daviey: remote control? | 17:27 |
| ball | EtienneG_laptop: nobody of importance, happily :-) | 17:28 |
| EtienneG_laptop | ball, ok, greeting nonetheless! :) | 17:29 |
| ball | Daviey: screen with the status bar would break compatibility with actual teletypes though. | 17:31 |
| ball | (and perhaps hamper logging) | 17:31 |
| ivoks | ball: thing about it as a 'special multipourpuse ubuntu maintainance shell' | 17:32 |
| ivoks | not a replacement for screen | 17:32 |
| ivoks | or shell | 17:32 |
| Daviey | ball: just an idea at the moment | 17:32 |
| ball | Daviey: I hope it gets shot down in flames, or at least made optional (perhaps a program that you can choose to launch once you log in) | 17:32 |
| ivoks | it won't be default, of course | 17:33 |
| ball | Oh good! | 17:33 |
| Daviey | i said it's reinventing zsh (hi jpds) | 17:34 |
| jpds | Daviey: o/ | 17:35 |
| * ball isn't familiar with zsh | 17:35 | |
| ball | Is that a Bourne derivative? | 17:35 |

| Daviey | :( | 17:37 |
| Daviey | jpds: can you give it to me again? | 17:37 |
| Daviey | it's backed up at home, would be nice to have here :) | 17:37 |

| Fenix|work | Greetings | 19:41 |
| Fenix|work | a Jr. admin of mine accidentally ran chmod on / with the permissions 770 | 19:41 |
| Fenix|work | now no user can log in... any quick fix? :) | 19:41 |
| sommer | chmod -R 755 /home/ | 19:42 |
| sommer | err no -R, sorry | 19:42 |
| maswan | ehm. if it wasn't recursive, just chmod the / dir back to 755 | 19:46 |
| maswan | if it was recursive, you're out of luck | 19:46 |
| Fenix|work | it was recursive | 19:55 |
| nrpil | hi people | 20:10 |
| nrpil | any kvm users here ? | 20:10 |
| chimp | If you accidently send shutdown now without -r on it, is there a way to make the server come back to life (i haven't done this) | 20:14 |
| Deeps | if it has WOL you might be able to magic packet it, assuming you ahve another machine on the same subnet to send from | 20:18 |
| === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia | ||
| soren | chimp: I'd advise you to take a look at molly-guard at any rate.. | 20:37 |
| soren | It wraps reboot, shutdown and halt, checks if you're logged in remotely and asks you to enter the name of the machine you think you're shutting down. | 20:37 |
| soren | That way, you don't accidentally shut down a remote machine. | 20:38 |
| soren | For local logins, it doesn't do anything. Only remote logins. | 20:38 |
| tonyyarusso | btw, why is it called molly-guard? Who is this molly? | 20:39 |
| tonyyarusso | Meanwhile, is there anyone who understands dnsmasq and avahi? Technically I think the changes I need to make are on my router running DD-WRT, but if someone knows about those applications here that might be enough to figure it out. (Issue explained at http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=238861#238861) | 20:42 |
| Fenix|work | ok... I need some advice | 20:46 |
| chimp | soren: That sounds great, I was thinking of doing alias' but that seems better | 20:46 |
| Fenix|work | my jr adm screwed up the permissions royally on this and two other boxes that were NFSed to this one... if I use apt-get install ubuntu-minimal ... how badly is it going to mess up my current config? | 20:47 |
| soren | He managed to uninstall ubuntu-minimal? | 20:48 |
| hads | I believe it was a chmod -R / | 20:49 |
| Fenix|work | soren, no... he managed to run the following --- find . -type d -exec sudo chmod 770 {} \; | 20:49 |
| soren | Fenix|work: apt-get installing ubuntu-minimal is not going to help that. | 20:50 |
| Fenix|work | I was thinking it may fix permissions | 20:50 |
| hads | Good time to test your backups :) | 20:51 |
| Fenix|work | hads, would be if this thing would even boot :) | 20:52 |
| Fenix|work | my backups are all on tape | 20:52 |
| hads | Your backups rely on the server being going? | 20:52 |
| Fenix|work | yes... | 20:53 |
| Fenix|work | ... even if it were a brand new install... which takes no time with ubuntu, I need a live server to restore to | 20:53 |
| Fenix|work | and my restore will restore everything to just the way it were | 20:53 |
| Fenix|work | although I had just started on experimenting with making live cd's of my installs... I hadn't finished in my vm environment | 20:54 |
| Fenix|work | soren, is it safe to say that all directories outside of var should be permed at 755? | 20:59 |

| Lamo | I set up a Hardy web server and am having trouble getting my .htaccess file working. I created a .htaccess file in ~/public_html that looks like http://nopaste.com/p/aDsE6kD2M and used htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/passwords to create the file passwords. yet I am still able to load the page without being prompted for a usr/pass? | 21:49 |
| jmarsden|work | Lamo: check permissions on the .htaccess file, and then restart your web server and retest? | 21:54 |
| Lamo | 644 | 21:54 |
| tonyyarusso | also, check that .htaccess is enabled in your apache config - I don't think it is by default | 21:57 |
| Lamo | that's apache2.conf? | 21:58 |
| tonyyarusso | I think it's in sites-available/default actually | 21:59 |
| Nafallo | Lamo: rather enable the correct modules with a2enmod | 21:59 |
| tonyyarusso | The option's called AllowOverride | 21:59 |
| Nafallo | Lamo: that will load in the correct options and enable the module. | 22:00 |
| * tonyyarusso defers | 22:00 | |
| Lamo | I ran a2enmod and it gives me many choices but I don't see AllowOverRide in there | 22:02 |
| drate | What am I missing: I am trying to setup postfix per the documentation for Ubuntu Server 8.10, here is a pastebin of my postconf -n followed by a link of the step at which I encounter an issue: | 22:05 |
| drate | http://pastebin.com/d283b6664 https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/postfix.html#postfix-testing | 22:05 |
| drate | The expected behavior is shown in the second link, the actual behavior is the computer equivilant of a blank stare. | 22:06 |
| Lamo | aha | 22:06 |
| Lamo | needed to change none to all in my default config | 22:07 |
| Lamo | like you were saying | 22:07 |
| Lamo | thanks | 22:07 |
| lamont | drate: I'm going to guess that is a modified output of postconf -n and that you've tweaked anything like hostnames and IPs, which may or may not be of significance... .what does /var/log/mail.log have to say on the subject? | 22:07 |
| lamont | and anyway, about to run off for the evening, myself | 22:07 |
| Lamo | where do I find my server error log? | 22:08 |
| drate | you are correct, I am doing this for my place of business so I figured certaind details should be masked... I'll go get what you asked for | 22:08 |
| DBAmethyst | ok I got a DL360 and I just installed 8.04.1 server. Bios shows up both P3 1.266 procs yet a cat /proc/cpuinfo only shows up one | 22:08 |

| Fenix|work | any ideas? | 22:12 |
| drate | http://pastebin.com/d7a4b5be1 http://pastebin.com/d660e5f54 | 22:15 |
| drate | there are cats of mail.log and mail.err respectively | 22:15 |
| drate | lamont I think I do see something I might can track down myself but another that I cannot | 22:18 |
| drate | the SASL can't connect to private auth/client no such file or directory I might can trace | 22:19 |
| drate | but the no sasl mechanisms I cannot | 22:19 |
| drate | lamont: do you think they are related? | 22:19 |
| drate | lamont: correction I am completely confused, it is in the /etc/postfix/main.conf exactly as indicated by the documentation | 22:23 |
| ScottK | I guess he left. | 22:46 |
| ScottK | If he turns up again, he should look in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf | 22:47 |
