hadsAnd openntpd is packaged by the way.00:01
infinityhads: Yes, and it's the ancient version from 2 years ago.00:02
hadsSure00:02
infinityhads: That doesn't qualify as "maintained" to me.00:02
hadsYes, but you included packaged in your list :)00:02
infinityhads: Given that the upstream codebase has seen COUNTLESS releases in those years.  (it's not like it's "finished" or anything)00:03
hadsI'm not arguing that it's a better solution, it is simple though.00:03
infinityFine, I take back the "packaged" thing, the pedantry wins.  Still, it's unmaintained and unsupported upstream, both bad things for a network service, IMO.00:04
hadsFine, I'll be quiet now.00:04
Mal3kodoes NTP take care of time syncro. automatically? or we need to sync the time manually with the command?00:04
infinityMal3ko: ntp daemons (like ntp, or openntpd) do it automagically, yes.00:05
jmedinaMal3ko: using the ntpd daemon, yes00:05
Mal3kontp package is included with ntpd?00:05
infinityMal3ko: Both will refuse (for good reason) to skew the clock TOO far, which is why you usually have something like ntpdate (installed by default) running on boot to make sure the clock is "close enough", then the ntp daemon takes over and keeps it perfectly in sync.00:05
jmedinantpdate is for on demand sync, and should not be running ntpd when you use ntpdate, what is why ntpdate runs at boot time, after network is up, and before ntpd is launched00:05
LoveGuruScottK: apparmor is gui or cli? its looklike GUI interface. i don't have X server so still i can configure it?00:06
jmedinaLoveGuru: you configure it as any other unix program, using text files00:07
jmedinagui and cli are extras00:07
LoveGurujmedina: is there any tutorial would be great ? howto*00:08
jmedinaLoveGuru: google for "ubunt apparmor"00:09
jmedina"ubuntu apparmor"00:09
LoveGurualright00:10
LoveGuruwell i did.. nothing found :)00:10
LoveGuruthats why i asked.00:10
LoveGuruwell oikie let me check again00:10
jmedinaand of course the novell/suse documentation00:10
jmedinanothing found?00:11

Deepsd nada00:35
Mal3koare there particular network tweaks i could do to optimize server connecttion?00:37
Deepsin what way?00:37
Mal3kolatency maybe00:37
Mal3koim hosting game servers here00:38
Deepslatency? get a better line00:38
Deepsin-game ping time? get a better server (faster cpu, more ram, faster disks, better gpu in some cases too bizarrely)00:38
Deepsotherwise most optimizations will be in the gameserver's configuration00:38
hadsWeird00:38
Deepsi forget which game it was, maybe moh:aa that required a top end gfx card on the server00:39
Deepsor one of the CoD games00:39
Deepswas weird00:39
Deepsi know all the source games have loads of networking tweaks that are done in the server.cfg00:40
Deeps(source games being valve engine based)00:40
* hads knows nothing about games00:40
Mal3koserver's connection should not be a problem since it's on 100mbps line.00:40
jmedinayou can increase using bonding00:41
jmedinaput 2 network cards and aggregate the bandwith00:41
Deepslatency and linespeed aren't directly connected00:41
jmedinaor more, like 4 cards you get 400mbps00:41
jmedina:D00:41
hadsIt would also depend what else is on that 100mb line.00:42
Deepsi have a server on 10mbit i can ping at 2ms, and a server on 100mbit that i ping at 80ms00:42
Deepsthe 10mbit server's in the same building, the 100mbit server's in another country00:42
Mal3koDeeps: how do i check if hard disk having problem to cope with those game servers?00:42
Deepsiostat00:42
Mal3kothen look for what details..00:42
Deepswatch the output on there while your gameserver's being utilised00:42
hadsiotop is kind of neat too00:43
Deepsif there's much iowait00:43
Mal3kothanks..00:48
jmedinaor you can use simple top00:52
jmedinalook for the "wa"00:52
jmedinathe details using iostat, I dont know about iotop00:52
Mal3koit's currently 0.1%wa00:55
Mal3koso which value means it's not doing good?00:56
Mal3ko>1.00?00:56
jmedina:O, iotop looks good00:56

axisyshow do I install ubuntu using a ftp server?01:50
Mal3koDeeps03:31
Mal3ko"If you have a high percentage of CPU time idle while it’s waiting on disk I/O, that’s a good indicator that you have an I/O bottleneck"03:31
Mal3kowhat does that means?03:31
Mal3kohttp://72.14.235.132/search?q=cache:vVkt8GBfJqAJ:www.linux-mag.com/id/2001+iostat&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=20&gl=my&client=firefox-a03:31
hadsUmm, pretty much what it says.03:33
Mal3koyeh but i dont understand "..while it’s waiting on disk I/O"03:33
Mal3kocould you give some examples of bad iostats reading?03:34
hadsI'm not overly familiar with iostat myself so not off the top of my head no.03:38
Mal3kohmm03:49
ballIs Ubuntu Server a sensible choice for compute nodes in a cluster?04:18
DeepsMal3ko: not to be rude, but the output of iostat is largely self explanitory. only tip necessary is it's best run as `iostat 1`; the rest is covered more concisely in `man iostat`04:20

qwyethHello all; I'm running Ubuntu server 8.10 and I have some remote users.  I would like to force them to change password on login.  I have done this using chage -d 0 <user>, and it works when logging in locally, however when ssh'ing in to the user with expired password, it announces that the password must be changed immediately, but then drops the connection.  I have extensively googled the problem and read man pages for chage, sshd, 09:46

AlexC_g'morning Earthlings14:13
AlexC_got a DNS issue with a domain, the MX records are not changing (from what I can see) and was wondering if someone could help poke it to find out what the issue is. The domain name is 'nandemofoto.com' and the MX records should be 'smtp.secureserver.net' and 'mailstore1.secureserver.net'14:17
AlexC_they were changed a few days ago, yet no change. I'm having to do this through Plesk (not my choice) and can't get at the bind files manually14:18
ScottKAlexC_: How is the related to Ubuntu Server (I'm not clear on that)?14:19
AlexC_ScottK, I've normally come in here for general server help, no one has ever had any issues14:20
ScottKOK.  If there's an Ubuntu server in there somewhere, I'm sure it's fine.14:20
AlexC_yes, it's running on it =)14:21
ScottKIn this particular case, I suspect you need to bitch at 1and1 to get it fixed.14:21

Psi-JackHere's a curious question. Is NetworkManager, even wise, to use on a server box, even if it's just a testbed development server running X11?16:31
sommerPsi-Jack: wouldn't think you'd have any issues16:38
* Psi-Jack nods.16:38
Psi-JackI wouldn't either, but curiously, NetworkManager doesn't seem to "reload" or at least restart servers when networks come offline and go online.16:38
Psi-JackWhich would be.. Kinda useful. ;)16:38
bshak1I have my server set up with Apache and www.dyndns.com.  My site works internally as well as on external networks.  However, when I use www or http in front of the site name, it won't load.  What is wrong and how do I fix it?16:53
thefishbshak1: you probably need to add a "www" host record (or A record) for it17:25
ScottKOr even a cname.17:26
thefishor a cname even better :)17:27
sysdocHey guys, does anyone know if there is a package that is similar to cpanel on sourceforge or elsewhere, that plays well with ubuntu?17:52
Deeps!ebox | sysdoc17:54
ubottusysdoc: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox17:54
jmedinasysdoc: gplhost17:54
Deepsthat maybe?17:54
jmedinaI like gpl host for web hosting, it manages partners y domain accounts, with 3 privileges level,17:55
jmedinait has not all the features as cpanel, but it works17:55
Deepssounds good17:55
Deepsand open sauce! can add features if necessary17:55
jmedinaand gplhost works good with debian, dont remember if they releases a repository for ubuntu, but should workd17:55
jmedinaDeeps: yeap and xen compatible17:55
jmedinaXD17:55
jmedinain fact the software is called DTC17:56
Deepsah safe, they're using it in production too17:56
Deepsthrew me at first when i hit gplhost.com17:56
jmedinaI already use it in produccion for customer hosting17:57
sysdocDeeps, thanks18:10
sysdocjmedina, thanks18:10
sysdocAppreciate the input guys..18:10
Deepsjmedina: i meant that they (The devs) are, means it's gonna be better supported as they too have real clients with real needs18:17
