[00:09] what's the linux-virtual package? how is it different from linux-server? doesn't linux-server kernel have the xen support? [00:10] linux-virtual is for guest operating systems [00:11] so, if you ubuntu runs in vmware, use linux-virtual [00:11] s/you/your [00:11] ahh i see [00:11] ivoks: thanks [00:12] np === espacious_ is now known as espacious [04:27] Clearly I don't understand Avahi... [07:10] Can someone help me set up my web server? Got a domain name and DNS A record set, also port forwarded :80 But it still doesn't work [07:26] anyone? [09:40] mornin all [09:46] <_ruben> mornin [11:15] Hi all === badawi_ is now known as badawi === SWAT___ is now known as SWAT [15:55] can anyone help me with a postifix issue? [15:55] postfix, sorry [15:57] dsandage: What issue? [15:58] ah... ill give you the err as seen in /var/log/mail.err [15:59] fatal: parameter smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout: bad time value or unit: 3600a [16:00] dsandage: Please pastebin the output of postconf -n [16:00] <_ruben> 3600a is most likely a typo for 3600s [16:00] Probably. [16:01] it ends a [16:01] but ill go find the output of postconf here in a minute [16:03] ill have to return [16:07] AHHH! [16:07] I see what you mean I think the line with the cache_timeout reads 3600a but should read 3600s [16:12] 3600s is the default anyway, so there's no need to specify it. [16:13] 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] it doesn't do anything actualy [16:13] it has you type "ehlo mail.example.com" [16:14] I get nothing when plugging in ehlo and my server name [16:19] any thoughts? === sommer_ is now known as sommer [17:11] Daviey: so what's the server-side news? [17:15] hello EtienneG_laptop [17:18] hello ball, but who are you? [17:21] ball: talking about puppet right now [17:27] Daviey: remote control? [17:28] EtienneG_laptop: nobody of importance, happily :-) [17:29] ball, ok, greeting nonetheless! :) [17:31] Daviey: screen with the status bar would break compatibility with actual teletypes though. [17:31] (and perhaps hamper logging) [17:32] ball: thing about it as a 'special multipourpuse ubuntu maintainance shell' [17:32] not a replacement for screen [17:32] or shell [17:32] ball: just an idea at the moment [17:32] 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) [17:33] it won't be default, of course [17:33] Oh good! [17:34] i said it's reinventing zsh (hi jpds) [17:35] Daviey: o/ [17:35] * ball isn't familiar with zsh [17:35] Is that a Bourne derivative? [17:35] hey, it's lunch time! [17:35] zsh supports multerminal interface? [17:35] !zsh [17:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about zsh [17:35] :( [17:35] zsh is a shell [17:35] !lunch [17:35] jpds: please fix :) [17:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about lunch [17:36] !info zsh [17:36] zsh (source: zsh): A shell with lots of features. In component main, is optional. Version 4.3.6-4ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 3888 kB, installed size 11540 kB [17:36] Daviey: Still use my .zshrc? [17:37] jpds: not since i reinstalled [17:37] :( [17:37] jpds: can you give it to me again? [17:37] it's backed up at home, would be nice to have here :) [17:37] Yeah, I have it here - just don't have anywhere to dump it at. [17:37] email? [17:38] Daviey: Sent. [17:39] winner \o/ [17:42] afk [19:41] Greetings [19:41] a Jr. admin of mine accidentally ran chmod on / with the permissions 770 [19:41] now no user can log in... any quick fix? :) [19:42] chmod -R 755 /home/ [19:42] err no -R, sorry [19:46] ehm. if it wasn't recursive, just chmod the / dir back to 755 [19:46] if it was recursive, you're out of luck [19:55] it was recursive [20:10] hi people [20:10] any kvm users here ? [20:14] 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) [20:18] if it has WOL you might be able to magic packet it, assuming you ahve another machine on the same subnet to send from === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia [20:37] chimp: I'd advise you to take a look at molly-guard at any rate.. [20:37] 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. [20:38] That way, you don't accidentally shut down a remote machine. [20:38] For local logins, it doesn't do anything. Only remote logins. [20:39] btw, why is it called molly-guard? Who is this molly? [20:42] 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) [20:46] ok... I need some advice [20:46] soren: That sounds great, I was thinking of doing alias' but that seems better [20:47] 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? [20:48] He managed to uninstall ubuntu-minimal? [20:49] I believe it was a chmod -R / [20:49] soren, no... he managed to run the following --- find . -type d -exec sudo chmod 770 {} \; [20:50] Fenix|work: apt-get installing ubuntu-minimal is not going to help that. [20:50] I was thinking it may fix permissions [20:51] Good time to test your backups :) [20:52] hads, would be if this thing would even boot :) [20:52] my backups are all on tape [20:52] Your backups rely on the server being going? [20:53] yes... [20:53] ... even if it were a brand new install... which takes no time with ubuntu, I need a live server to restore to [20:53] and my restore will restore everything to just the way it were [20:54] although I had just started on experimenting with making live cd's of my installs... I hadn't finished in my vm environment [20:59] soren, is it safe to say that all directories outside of var should be permed at 755? [21:01] hrm [21:01] no [21:02] I'm doing it wrong. [21:02] * Fenix|work smacks his forehead ... /bin = 660 ... everything [21:02] this virtual machine should not use on of the hosts IPs externally... [21:02] one even === MenZa_ is now known as MenZa [21:49] 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? [21:54] Lamo: check permissions on the .htaccess file, and then restart your web server and retest? [21:54] 644 [21:57] also, check that .htaccess is enabled in your apache config - I don't think it is by default [21:58] that's apache2.conf? [21:59] I think it's in sites-available/default actually [21:59] Lamo: rather enable the correct modules with a2enmod [21:59] The option's called AllowOverride [22:00] Lamo: that will load in the correct options and enable the module. [22:00] * tonyyarusso defers [22:02] I ran a2enmod and it gives me many choices but I don't see AllowOverRide in there [22:05] 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] http://pastebin.com/d283b6664 https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/postfix.html#postfix-testing [22:06] The expected behavior is shown in the second link, the actual behavior is the computer equivilant of a blank stare. [22:06] aha [22:07] needed to change none to all in my default config [22:07] like you were saying [22:07] thanks [22:07] 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] and anyway, about to run off for the evening, myself [22:08] where do I find my server error log? [22:08] 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] 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] how can I change this [22:10] I'm trying to run chroot from the livecd and I'm getting the following: chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied [22:10] I'm logged in as root (as I've sudo bash, and then passwd [22:12] any ideas? [22:15] http://pastebin.com/d7a4b5be1 http://pastebin.com/d660e5f54 [22:15] there are cats of mail.log and mail.err respectively [22:18] lamont I think I do see something I might can track down myself but another that I cannot [22:19] the SASL can't connect to private auth/client no such file or directory I might can trace [22:19] but the no sasl mechanisms I cannot [22:19] lamont: do you think they are related? [22:23] lamont: correction I am completely confused, it is in the /etc/postfix/main.conf exactly as indicated by the documentation [22:46] I guess he left. [22:47] If he turns up again, he should look in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf === ogra__ is now known as ogra === chuck_ is now known as zul [23:47] New bug: #307291 in dovecot (main) "Security hole in ManageSieve: Virtual users can edit scripts of other virtual users" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/307291
