| Kevin__ | Hi. I just setup ProFTPD and am trying to FTP into my /var/www directory. Whenever I try to make changes, I'm getting a permission denied error. | 02:23 |
| Kevin__ | Any ideas? I chmoded the www folder to 664 and am still having trouble. | 02:26 |
| Xperiment62 | ive installed a counter strike 1.6 server onto intrepid ibex server, how can i get it to autostart without having to login and start it via ssh? | 08:25 |
| Blaenk | hey guys if I already have php and apache (but I run lighttpd) how can I install mysql, just apt-get mysql? | 09:01 |
| Jeeves_ | mysql-server | 09:02 |
| Blaenk | thank you Jeeves_ | 09:02 |
| Blaenk | can I install phpmyadmin from the repositories as well or would I have to do that manually since I'm using lighttpd, my web directory is /var/www | 09:02 |
| Jeeves_ | you can install it | 09:03 |
| Jeeves_ | it will place a symlink in /var/www | 09:03 |
| Blaenk | thanks again Jeeves_ | 09:04 |
| Blaenk | oh cool it lets one choose what web server they're running | 09:04 |
| Blaenk | hmm I don't see a symlink, I did put 'lighttpd' during installation, perhaps I should restart lighttpd | 09:05 |
| Jeeves_ | Ow, I only installed it with apache (lighty sucks) so i'm not sure how it works with lighty | 09:06 |
| Blaenk | haha okay thanks | 09:06 |
| Blaenk | Jeeves_: do you know where phpmyadmin is installed to/ | 09:10 |
| Blaenk | ? | 09:10 |
| Blaenk | ah, /etc/phpmyadmin | 09:10 |
| Jeeves_ | Blaenk: The config files are there | 09:11 |
| Blaenk | yeah I get it now thanks :) | 09:11 |
| Jeeves_ | /usr/share/phpmyadm (or something) | 09:11 |
| Blaenk | yeah | 09:12 |
| Blaenk | do you know where I go to change my password Jeeves_? for phpmyadmin, I overwrote htpasswd.setup with my credentials in it but it still only accepts user admin and no password | 09:14 |
| Jeeves_ | In your mysql-config | 09:14 |
| Blaenk | hmm | 09:15 |
| Jeeves_ | mysqladm password | 09:15 |
| Jeeves_ | orso | 09:15 |
| Blaenk | oh thanks | 09:15 |
| Blaenk | is there a way I can list users or something, I only know of root and myself, blaenk, somehow though I'm still able to login with user 'admin' and no password | 09:23 |
| Blaenk | yeah I even went into mysql database in phpmyadmin, clicked user and it doesn't even show 'admin' | 09:24 |
| Blaenk | only trace of 'admin' I see is in htpasswd.setup but I already overwrote that | 09:24 |
| Blaenk | oh I figured it out | 09:35 |
| Blaenk | it's in the privileges section in phpmyadmin, didn't even know there was such a section | 09:35 |
| Blaenk | ugh, I'm still able to login | 09:39 |
| Blaenk | it's allowing any user to login without a password | 09:40 |
| Blaenk | not just admin | 09:40 |
| Blaenk | /but if I login with root I get all privileges | 09:40 |
| Blaenk | fixed it :D | 09:41 |
| kaushal | hi | 10:59 |
| kaushal | when i rebooted Ubuntu Server 8.04 all the /tmp contents got cleared | 10:59 |
| Nafallo | yes. | 10:59 |
| kaushal | is there a way i can prevent it | 10:59 |
| Jeeves_ | chmod 000 /tmp :) | 11:00 |
| Nafallo | /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh:rm -f /tmp/.clean /var/run/.clean /var/lock/.clean | 11:00 |
| Nafallo | /etc/init.d/mountall-bootclean.sh:# Clean /tmp, /var/lock, /var/run | 11:01 |
| kaushal | Nafallo, so comment it in that bash script | 11:01 |
| kaushal | right | 11:01 |
| Nafallo | however, if you put stuff you want to keep in /tmp you are probably doing it wrong. | 11:02 |
| kaushal | Nafallo, yes | 11:02 |
| kaushal | Thanks Nafallo | 11:02 |
| Nafallo | nw | 11:02 |
| kaushal | so if i comment it in those scripts it would prevent it from clearing the /tmp folders | 11:03 |
| kaushal | right | 11:03 |
| kaushal | is that what i understand you correctly | 11:03 |
| Nafallo | which you shouldn't really, yes :-) | 11:03 |
| Nafallo | actually... no. | 11:04 |
| Nafallo | leave bootmisc | 11:04 |
| Nafallo | /lib/init/bootclean.sh is probably right | 11:05 |
| Nafallo | the clean_tmp() function | 11:05 |
| Nafallo | evil, evil hack to do it that way though. | 11:05 |
| Nafallo | remove it that is | 11:07 |
| kaushal | Nafallo, I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Server | 11:07 |
| Nafallo | yes. so? | 11:08 |
| kaushal | I did find / -name "bootclean.sh" -print | 11:08 |
| Nafallo | if you're putting persistant files in /tmp you're doing it wrong :-) | 11:08 |
| kaushal | yeah i understand that | 11:08 |
| kaushal | there are some application files which is in /tmp folder | 11:09 |
| Jeeves_ | kaushal: So fix the application | 11:09 |
| Jeeves_ | next upgrade, you change will probably be overwritten | 11:10 |
| Jeeves_ | and than, all your data are belong to /tmp | 11:10 |
| kaushal | Nafallo, do i have to comment out the function clean_tmp() | 11:11 |
| kaushal | in bootclean shell script | 11:11 |
| Nafallo | kaushal: wouldn't know. I've told you were to look. I don't want to break your system further :-) | 11:13 |
| Jeeves_ | Nafallo: :) | 11:15 |
| Jeeves_ | kaushal: You're fixing symptoms, not the problem | 11:15 |
| Jeeves_ | why would you want to do that | 11:15 |

| agampher | thanks | 15:33 |
| zul | ScottK: have you got 5.1 to build on jaunty? | 15:38 |
| ScottK | zul: Yes. | 15:39 |
| ScottK | I test built it last night and it succeeded. | 15:39 |
| zul | with the mysql-test suite? | 15:39 |
| ScottK | There were test suite failures, but they didn't break the build. | 15:39 |
| zul | got a log? | 15:39 |
| ScottK | No. I didn't think that far ahead. | 15:40 |
| zul | can you send me a log? | 15:40 |
| ScottK | No, since I haven't got one. | 15:40 |

| LeeQ | I need help with sudo... not sure exactly what i did but now I can't do anything via sudo... says user is not in the sudoers file | 17:32 |
| LeeQ | and that is my only user... | 17:37 |
| LeeQ | how do I get prcledges back? | 17:37 |
| leonel | LeeQ: boot in maintenance and in the server console fix the user | 17:38 |
| LeeQ | how do I do that? | 17:39 |
| leonel | LeeQ: go to the server and in the server keyboard press CRTL-ALT-DEL then the reboot process will be started | 17:41 |
| leonel | at the grub prompt select the recovery mode | 17:41 |
| leonel | that will leave you in a root shell | 17:41 |
| leonel | there you can fix the user | 17:42 |
| leonel | then | 17:42 |
| LeeQ | ah, ok, then just add the user back to the admin group? | 17:42 |
| leonel | just exit the shell and all will start as normal | 17:42 |
| leonel | LeeQ: I don't know what you did ... | 17:42 |
| leonel | LeeQ: but you need to fix the user with sudo permissions | 17:42 |
| LeeQ | I think I removed the user from the group inadvertantly | 17:43 |
| SpaceBass | hey folks | 18:18 |
| SpaceBass | i woke up this morning and out of the blue my 8.10 server can no long do user authentication against my OSX Server | 18:18 |
| SpaceBass | nothing changed on either end - logs on the apple side don't show any authention errors...any ideas about troubleshooting from the ubuntu side? | 18:19 |
| SpaceBass | getent passwd shows the directory users | 18:19 |
| zicada | is it straight up samba ? | 18:20 |
| SpaceBass | no samba involved | 18:20 |
| zicada | gotta know what protocol we're talking about | 18:21 |
| zicada | :) | 18:21 |
| SpaceBass | ldap+kerberos | 18:21 |
| zicada | oh | 18:21 |
| zicada | out of the blue is always scary | 18:21 |
| zicada | :D | 18:21 |
| SpaceBass | exactly | 18:21 |
| SpaceBass | no updates, no changes, nothing | 18:21 |
| zicada | logically if you didnt do anything, someone or something else did | 18:21 |
| zicada | so, might wanna start on that end | 18:22 |
| zicada | things dont just happen, except full disks and such, or, well i know nothing of osx,- some sort of auto update feature ? | 18:22 |
| SpaceBass | auto-updates are disabled | 18:23 |
| SpaceBass | in this case, its easy to think of the osx server as a BSD box | 18:23 |
| zicada | and nobody else has access to either box with enough privs ? | 18:23 |
| SpaceBass | no | 18:23 |
| SpaceBass | looking at the logs now | 18:25 |
| SpaceBass | although I suppose if it was hacked then I won't see anything | 18:25 |
| zicada | yeah, could be | 18:26 |
| zicada | fraid i dont know enough about ldap | 18:26 |

| sommer | zul: not sure if you saw my message this weekend, but I have updated ebox packages in my ppa | 19:12 |
| MatBoy | Faust-C: how should I set it up ? make 2 raiddisks and set LVM on it ? | 19:17 |
| Faust-C | the setting up is up to you | 19:18 |
| Faust-C | and yes you make each disk a md and then lay LVM on top | 19:18 |
| MatBoy | Faust-C: but each MD is fixed | 19:18 |
| MatBoy | so it's not an advantage | 19:18 |
| Faust-C | what do you mean each md is fixed | 19:19 |
| Faust-C | a hdd (physical or raid) is fixed of course | 19:20 |
| Faust-C | LVM deals w/ the file system(s) not the physical aspects of the storage medium | 19:20 |
| zul | sommer: cool i didnt see it this weekend but send an email to remind to have a look | 19:21 |
| MatBoy | Faust-C: ok, but when I have 2x 250GB in raid1 using softraid I can't put multiple LVM's on it ofcourse :S | 19:21 |
| zul | sommer: it probably wont get done til after christmas though since today is my last day at work | 19:21 |
| sommer | zul: no problem | 19:26 |
| Faust-C | MatBoy: wow you just confused me | 19:28 |
| Faust-C | my setup is 4 1Tb disks making 2 TB of usable space | 19:28 |
| Faust-C | and multiple lvm volumes (around 8) | 19:29 |
| Faust-C | and you dont make a huge ass LVM, you use what you need | 19:29 |
| Faust-C | and use the correct file system (xfs doesnt shrink) | 19:30 |
| MatBoy | Faust-C: weird, I can make a MD1 raid one, but no LVM on it | 19:30 |
| MatBoy | :S | 19:30 |
| Faust-C | you have to commit it | 19:30 |
| MatBoy | let me look | 19:30 |
| Faust-C | MatBoy: each hdd is a md dev | 19:30 |
| Faust-C | md-1 and md0 (example) | 19:31 |
| MatBoy | Faust-C: yep, have that here | 19:31 |
| MatBoy | mhh | 19:31 |
| MatBoy | how do you mean than ? | 19:31 |
| MatBoy | I have 2 disks, I raid them | 19:31 |
| MatBoy | raid1 | 19:31 |
| MatBoy | and than LVM on it ? | 19:31 |
| Faust-C | yes | 19:31 |
| MatBoy | weird, I thought the same, but was not possible | 19:32 |
| Faust-C | cause you have to commit (write) the changes | 19:32 |
| MatBoy | I'm no linux noob, but never used LVM :) | 19:32 |
| MatBoy | yes and go back | 19:32 |
| Faust-C | then reboot and it will 'see' it | 19:32 |
| MatBoy | ok | 19:32 |
| Faust-C | remember some things arent as dynamic as you would expect them to be | 19:32 |
| * MatBoy is starting the installer | 19:32 | |
| MatBoy | yes, I had that idea too | 19:33 |
| MatBoy | I know that when you lost all MD's you need to create MD and exit directly and everything is back | 19:33 |
| MatBoy | example | 19:33 |
| MatBoy | mhh, p5K really has a bad onboard nic | 19:34 |
| MatBoy | Faust-C: mhh, why Faust ? :) | 19:37 |
| Faust-C | what | 19:37 |
| MatBoy | where ? | 19:38 |
| Faust-C | when | 19:38 |
| MatBoy | now ? | 19:40 |
| Faust-C | no later | 19:40 |
| genii | One of those Yukons ? | 19:41 |
| RediXe | sudo chmod -R 2770 /projects/ Two members of the same group can read and write but if one member creates a directory even though the permissions say read write for the group 2nd group member can not read or write. | 19:41 |
| * Faust-C uses ug+rwx | 19:42 | |
| RediXe | We will see if we can break it using that | 19:43 |
| MatBoy | Faust-C: OK, I will stretch up than : | 19:46 |
| MatBoy | Faust-C: seems to work now | 19:46 |
| MatBoy | Faust-C: ever used encrypted LVM ? good performance ? | 19:46 |
| Faust-C | not in production no | 19:47 |
| Faust-C | too much of a risk | 19:47 |
| Faust-C | ill encrypt backups but not the live system | 19:47 |
| MatBoy | Faust-C: yes true indeed, my concern too | 19:48 |

| RediXe | on the server it's: /dir1 root:data (all users are part of data group) /dir1/a/ root:developers (only developers are part of this group /dir1/a/a/ root:developers /dir1/a/a/a/ root:developers /dir1/a/a/a/* root:developers I really don't want to set up another git repository if i can help it | 20:25 |
| Tim__Reichhart | I need help on removing the RSA from my apache server can anybody help? | 20:25 |
| Faust-C | RediXe: i dont think you should have root be owner | 20:26 |
| Faust-C | considering there is no real root | 20:26 |
| Faust-C | also i find that a sercurity risk imo | 20:26 |
| Faust-C | but thats me | 20:26 |
| RediXe | Well, then who should be the owner? | 20:26 |
| Tim__Reichhart | I need help on removing the RSA from my apache server can anybody help? | 20:26 |
| Faust-C | RediXe: someone in that group | 20:26 |
| RediXe | Faust-C: is there a way to just change the owner and not owner:group? I want to keep the correct groups that it already has | 20:27 |
| Faust-C | RediXe: just chown <username>:<whatevergroup> | 20:28 |
| RediXe | Faust-C: nvm, chown user1 /dir | 20:28 |
| RediXe | Faust-C: I don't want to have to re-assign all the groups to the sub directories :P | 20:28 |
| RediXe | Faust-C: Okay, I set my user account as the owner of the directory | 20:29 |
| Faust-C | RediXe: next time dont use root | 20:29 |
| RediXe | Faust-C: I just went with what I saw :) | 20:30 |
| RediXe | Faust-C: So, now that my user is the owner of the root directory and all sub directories is there anything else I need to change so that I don't have to keep running chmod all the time | 20:30 |
| Faust-C | RediXe: well now ya know, ive had similar issues | 20:30 |
| Faust-C | RediXe: like i said just make sure a normal user owns the top dir | 20:31 |
| Faust-C | if it doesnt work start over, make a new dir and go from there | 20:31 |
| RediXe | Faust-C: We will give it a shot but if I have to start over it will just be moving all the subdirectories into a temp dir. Deleting the top dir. Making it. Setting perms and then mv all the stuff back into it | 20:32 |
| Faust-C | you will have to chown -R and possibly chmod -R all of it | 20:33 |
| Faust-C | *maybe* | 20:33 |
| MatBoy | mhh, 8.10 is really not better than 8.04 | 20:41 |
| Delvien | hmm, ive got hits on my firewall from Cheeseworm, when trying to connect from my ssh client. Is someone eavsdropping my connection? | 20:45 |
| Faust-C | Delvien: sounds like time to use wireshark | 20:46 |
| Delvien | What will that do for me? | 20:48 |
| Faust-C | Delvien: i suggest you look into it | 20:48 |
| Delvien | There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done | 20:49 |
| Delvien | sigh, everything has to be so difficult | 20:49 |
| MatBoy | why does 8.10 boots so bad ? | 20:58 |
| Faust-C | Delvien: you have to be patient | 20:59 |
| Delvien | Faust-C: Sorry, just been trying to fix this for 3 hours | 21:00 |
| Faust-C | Delvien: np, i completely understand | 21:00 |
| Delvien | Faust-C: figured out what the problem was, the application on my phone was holding an old RSA key. | 21:00 |
| Faust-C | Delvien: see i thought so | 21:01 |

| coolrazor | will procmail auto create folders in users' maildirs that I specify in .procmailrc? | 21:12 |
| henkjan | coolrazor: yes it does | 21:19 |
| coolrazor | Thank you. I just got tasked with setting procmail on a production server and I've only done it twice at home :/ | 21:20 |
| LoveGuru | how can i check my system configuration ? | 21:43 |
| foxytheold | maybe apt-get check will do what u require | 21:45 |
| Faust-C | i swear i might get spammed for that email but oh well | 22:02 |
| Faust-C | im tired of ppl writing half a** books, charging money and then leaving the end user broke | 22:03 |
| tsrk | I have sendmail running to handle php mail() requests but I don't have a FQDN. In the past I've configured it so that it is tricked into thinking the hostname is the FQDN using the hosts file, but I forgot how to do that. Does anyone here know how? | 22:17 |
| jmedina | tsrk: add an entry to your /etc/hosts file, something like: | 22:21 |
| jmedina | 192.168.1.1 mail.domain.tld mail | 22:21 |
| Swiateckix | can anyone tell me what goes wrong here? http://www.swiatechs.com/dmesg.txt | 22:30 |

| Kevin__ | Hi, I just setup ProFTPD on my Ubuntu web server and am getting permission denied errors every time I try and edit a file from a remote machine. Any ideas? | 22:54 |
| Faust-C | Kevin__: edit how? | 22:55 |
| Kevin__ | via FTP | 22:55 |
| Faust-C | like conf files | 22:55 |
| Kevin__ | no, it is my /var/www/ | 22:55 |
| Faust-C | Kevin__: are you in www-data group | 22:55 |
| Faust-C | and i would use /srv/www (just my opinion) | 22:56 |
| Kevin__ | I'm not quite sure, any way I can find out? | 22:56 |
| Kevin__ | ... regarding the www-data group | 22:56 |
| Faust-C | groups username | 22:57 |
| Faust-C | username being your username | 22:57 |
| Kevin__ | The server is logged in under my only account and I am logging into FTP via the same account | 22:58 |
| Kevin__ | also, this is probably an important part -> I can't edit the files without sudo'ing in on the actual machine | 22:59 |
| Faust-C | Kevin__: .... is your user in www-data group | 22:59 |
| Faust-C | you need to ssh into machine and do 'groups kevin' | 22:59 |
| Faust-C | if you arent add yourself to group and make sure the folder has rw permission for group | 23:00 |
| Kevin__ | ah got it | 23:00 |
| Kevin__ | one sec | 23:00 |
| Kevin__ | It is outputting "kevin adm cdrom plugdev lpadmin netdev admin sambashare" | 23:01 |
| Kevin__ | Faust-C: What is the command I should run to move myself into the www data group? | 23:03 |
| Faust-C | Kevin__: to avoid messing you up, man usermod | 23:03 |
| Faust-C | usermod -g kevin -G admn cdrom plugdev lpadmin netdev admin sambashare www-data kevin | 23:04 |
| Faust-C | READ before you do that | 23:04 |
| Kevin__ | run "man usermod" and then do that whole string? | 23:04 |
| Faust-C | yes | 23:06 |
| Faust-C | how does one install a local deb pkg and have it resolve deps as well | 23:06 |
| Faust-C | dpkg -i <file> spits unresolved deps but i want them to be pulled in w/ i install the pkg | 23:07 |
| Kevin__ | Faust-C: When I open up man usermod, I can't type unless I type a few random characters to get the "Log file" prompt to come up at the bottom of the screen. I entered the command and am getting "Cannot write to "<string here>"" | 23:09 |
| Faust-C | Kevin__: .... you use the arrow keys to move around | 23:10 |
| Faust-C | i suggest you read a lil moe | 23:10 |
| Faust-C | more* | 23:10 |
| Kevin__ | alright, I'm just a little bit confused. Is there a way I can easily add my user to the www-data group or not | 23:11 |
| foxytheold | i would just ssh into the box and sudo to root then edit the files with vi | 23:11 |
| Faust-C | foxytheold: thats not sound advice for a novice user | 23:12 |
| Kevin__ | the problem is that I have to allow others to FTP into it and they are even less savvy then me | 23:12 |
| Kevin__ | can I just do sudo adduser kevin www-data?? | 23:13 |
| Faust-C | Kevin__: that right there is why you need to read | 23:13 |
| Faust-C | i gave you the cmd and man page to read | 23:14 |
| Kevin__ | Faust-C: I'm new to the terminal (and Linux all together) and I really just don't understand what that page is even telling me. I really appreciate the help though, don't get the feeling that I don't! | 23:14 |
| foxytheold | Kevin read this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/ you might find it usefull | 23:14 |
| Faust-C | Kevin__: lol i understand | 23:15 |
| Faust-C | the wiki is a great place to start | 23:15 |
| Faust-C | you want to be careful how you approach problems, could lead you more pain that you want | 23:15 |
| Kevin__ | by the way, I read online that the files have to be owned by www-data for them to work.. is it okay if they are owned by kevin? | 23:16 |
| foxytheold | i found howtoforge to have good guides on server setup's enough to give you a good start for sure | 23:16 |
| Faust-C | owned is fine, just as long as group is www-data | 23:17 |
| Kevin__ | is www-data considered a primary or secondary group.. and how can you tell/ | 23:18 |
| Kevin__ | Before I break anything, will the command # usermod -a -G www-data kevin work? | 23:20 |
| foxytheold | it should do | 23:21 |
| foxytheold | do a id kevin to see your current groups | 23:21 |
| Kevin__ | yeah, it added me to the group | 23:22 |
| Kevin__ | thanks a ton | 23:22 |
| Kevin__ | one last question - the group on my www folder is "kevin" and www-data isn't an option for me to choose from. | 23:22 |
| foxytheold | usergroup -g www-data kevin would probs of been the best way to do what u needed , but i could be wrong | 23:23 |
| hads | adduser $USER $GROUP | 23:24 |
| Kevin__ | wow, it worked. Thanks again guys, I really appreciate it | 23:25 |
| Faust-C | foxytheold: his other groups will be gone w/ that cmd | 23:25 |
| foxytheold | arrrg! just lost me screen .. loool tpping to many keys at once.. oh well | 23:27 |
| foxytheold | tapping even | 23:27 |
| Swiateckix | Hi, can anyone see why my boot stops: http://www.swiatechs.com/dmesg.txt | 23:32 |
| eolo999 | hi, someone has ever used RedHat Spacewalk and can share impressions? | 23:34 |
| Faust-C | eolo999: it doesnt work on ubuntu (yet) | 23:34 |
| eolo999 | i know | 23:34 |
| Faust-C | Swiateckix: try testing mem or disabling acpi | 23:34 |
| Faust-C | you dont have some odd device in there do ya | 23:35 |
| Faust-C | eolo999: i would ask in #centos | 23:35 |
| eolo999 | i was just curious to hear impressions | 23:35 |
| Swiateckix | Faust-C: how do i disable acpi? :) | 23:35 |
| eolo999 | the underlaying lib is the same of ubuntu kvm-jeos | 23:35 |
| Faust-C | Swiateckix: that is something the mighty google will have to answer | 23:35 |
| Faust-C | eolo999: idk i looked at it and it seems pretty nice | 23:36 |
| Swiateckix | Faust-C: i have a Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L ( http://www.linuxhcl.org/browse/product+gigabyte-ga-g31m-s2l?id=6523 ) + a SATA disk, and a dvd drive.. thats it | 23:36 |
| Faust-C | supposedly ebox is to be on par w/ it but i dont like ebox all that much | 23:36 |
| Faust-C | Swiateckix: could be some piece of hw going out | 23:36 |
| Swiateckix | going out? | 23:36 |
| Swiateckix | as in failing? | 23:37 |
| eolo999 | i have to choose a platform tu build some services on and i found spacewalk which i didn't know before... but i would prefer remaining on ubuntu ;) | 23:37 |
| Faust-C | Swiateckix: yes | 23:37 |
| Faust-C | eolo999: well imo they all add un-needed pkgs | 23:38 |
| Faust-C | so they can make a stable system unstable | 23:38 |
| Faust-C | but thats my opinion | 23:38 |
| Faust-C | i hope to create something similar to NRPE | 23:38 |
| Swiateckix | well its a brand new MB, and well the disk and dvd-drive aren't to old.. but it could be | 23:38 |
| Faust-C | or whatever nagios calls it | 23:38 |
| Faust-C | Swiateckix: test mem and disk | 23:38 |
| eolo999 | Faust-C: Thx | 23:39 |
| Swiateckix | i will try | 23:39 |
| eolo999 | I'd really like to find a viable way to rapidly deploy and administer a modest range of machines | 23:39 |
| eolo999 | *virtual | 23:40 |
| * eolo999 google for NRPE | 23:40 | |
| Faust-C | eolo999: what are you using for VM | 23:40 |
| Faust-C | i use esx and manually install each VM atm, takes no more than 10-15 mins actually less | 23:41 |
| eolo999 | now i'm trying xen on 8.04 but it's not a definitive choice... we're just testing | 23:41 |
| foxytheold | cant u make one vm then clone it,, just a though , never tried it myself | 23:42 |
| Faust-C | vanilla xen has no decent management tools | 23:42 |
| Faust-C | foxytheold: yeah but its not that simple | 23:42 |
| Faust-C | eolo999: i would suggest looking into how suse does it | 23:42 |
| foxytheold | why as long as you dont setup the network setting in the vm to b cloned.. | 23:42 |
| Faust-C | i forgot what its called but it uses a xml file to store settings and installs w/o user input | 23:42 |
| Faust-C | foxytheold: there is more to it than that | 23:43 |
| * Faust-C tries to remember wth its called about some "UUID" for the VM, idk if linux suffers from this | 23:44 | |
| foxytheold | there probs is but that has to be the route for quote "a faster deployment" | 23:44 |
| eolo999 | the nice thing about spacewalk is that it goes from kickstarting to configuring (cfengine/puppet) and updating packages... that's why i asked for it.. | 23:44 |
| Faust-C | eolo999: yeah i completely understand | 23:45 |
| Faust-C | i plan on makng my own app for administration | 23:46 |
| Faust-C | or at least presenting it to someone | 23:46 |
| eolo999 | if you go ahead...i'm in...at my office asked me to write 'a bunch of scripts' to do it! | 23:47 |
| Faust-C | eolo999: heh yeah im wanting to use python for the lang | 23:47 |
| Faust-C | a node/hub senerio | 23:48 |
| eolo999 | Faust-C: really let me know if you open a public project.. | 23:51 |
| Faust-C | eolo999: PM | 23:52 |
| Swiateckix | Faust-C: im performing a memtest now | 23:55 |
| Swiateckix | the ACPI disable seems to have removed some debug information, but there still is a problemt | 23:55 |
