[01:26] <Kevin_> Hi Everyone. I'm working on my Wordpress Ubuntu server and am looking for ways to up the performance. I've already installed a PHP accelerator and am wondering if it is worth it to configure MySQL caching.
[03:17] <nandemonai> Hiya guys. I'm wondering if there are any special steps I need to take in order to get /etc/network/if-up.d(if-down.d)/ scripts working. They're executable but don't seem to be working?
[03:59] <popcornPanic> is there any way to have a server's monitor show everything being done by all users?
[03:59] <Kamping_Kaiser> top?
[04:03] <genii> ps aux ?
[04:04] <popcornPanic> not top. what's ps aux?
[04:04] <Kamping_Kaiser> why not top?
[04:04] <Kamping_Kaiser> what do you actually want to do?
[04:05] <popcornPanic> i don't want to look at the processes just the commands that have gone through
[04:05] <popcornPanic> commands and users who issue it
[04:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> you'd need to customise the user logging
[04:06] <genii> popcornPanic: Those will be in their repective bash history files however
[04:08] <popcornPanic> okay. another question. does WinSCP actually send commands to the remote server and if so where would they be stored?
[04:08] <genii> Try the auth log for that one
[04:09] <genii> It should tell you the logins anyhow
[04:10] <popcornPanic> yes it shows logins.
[04:11] <popcornPanic> but no commands from the users. except for my user.
[04:11] <Kamping_Kaiser> funny that *g*
[04:12] <Kamping_Kaiser> being called auth.log and all
[04:12] <popcornPanic> ??
[04:13] <genii> popcornPanic: Since secure copy requires a login, it contains the times which scp/winscp etc connected and who connected
[04:13] <popcornPanic> yes.
[04:14] <Kamping_Kaiser> i'm sure theres a dozen and four guides on getting all users shell histories logged to a central location
[04:14] <popcornPanic> perhaps i will look
[04:14] <genii> popcornPanic: If the user excuted some commands while logged on, those would be shown in: /home/theirname/.bash_history
[04:15] <genii> And the timestamps will match
[04:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> genii, as long as they use bash ;d
[04:20] <genii> Kamping_Kaiser: True, that
[04:20] <popcornPanic> last command show logins easier to read
[04:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> iirc if they (eg) run screen not all commands are written on the fly to .b_h.
[04:25] <genii> I sometimes use like: ps aux | grep $(w -h|cut -d" " -f1)                        to see what currently logged in users are running
[05:29] <ropetin> Evening all.  I know the answer to this is out on the Internet, but I can't think of the Google search to find it.  I have a server that is only accessible by ssh.  On the same local subnet as the ssh server I have another server I'd like to get access to the webserver on.  Is there a way for me to set up a tunnel to the webserver via the ssh server?
[05:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> yes. why not simply ssh to it though?
[05:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> or lynx
[05:31] <ropetin> It's running active content that links2 just won't handle (so I presume lynx won't either)
[05:31] <ropetin> It's a Windows server :)
[05:33] <Kamping_Kaiser> ah.
[05:33] <Kamping_Kaiser> well, check the man page for ssh
[05:38] <ScottK> Put ssh on the windows server.  You can do it cygwin.
[11:49] <backenfutter> every once in a while mysql-server pushes CPU and RAM usage to 100%, how would I go along and tweak that
[13:17] <confuded> Problem: I have a bridge set up (not sure how it works), the computer connected to bridge recieves all ip's and gateways, but has no internet still :(
[13:19] <confuded> anyone?
[14:04] <incidence> ai sun kaa
[14:05] <incidence> oho
[15:53] <Deeps> hmm, i'm attempting to mount a samba share from a windows machine (ntfs disk) on a hardy server using cifs, would like all files that are created to have global rw perms, however mounting with option file_mode=0666 doesn't appear to be doing anything :/
[16:40] <oxygen> hello
[16:40] <oxygen> is there any everybody online ?
[17:00] <balanceK> hello. when i login with ssh my server shows the motd twice, though the /etc/motd file contains the moth only once. The structure of the message looks like: motd\nNo mail\nLast login: ... \n motd. thx
[17:04]  * Nafallo wonders why he sees this bug...
[17:05] <Nafallo> nafallo@phoenix:~$ lsb_release -r && do-release-upgrade
[17:05] <Nafallo> Release:	8.04
[17:05] <Nafallo> Checking for a new ubuntu release
[17:05] <Nafallo> No new release found
[17:08] <Nafallo> ah! found it.
[17:08] <Nafallo> it have a config file :-P
[17:44] <axisys> what kind of card I need to feed my surveillance video data into my linux box?
[17:57] <greenfly> axisys: depends on what kind of outputs your camera has. if it's composite video then you need one of those TV tuner-type cards
[17:57] <greenfly> you can get them pretty cheap these days
[18:07] <axisys> greenfly: well I am thinking of getting IP/wireless cameras.. any recom on that?
[18:08] <greenfly> not really, I found some cheap ones at a local electronics store that just outputted composite video
[18:08] <jtaji> axisys: I've researched these before and the Panasonics seem good http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Computers-Networking/Network-Cameras/Network-Cameras.list.80002_11002_7000000000000005702
[18:08] <jtaji> axisys: not requiring IE/activex, etc...
[18:12] <gewt> 0.o
[18:12] <gewt> i egt I/O errors yet everything works fine...
[18:15] <greenfly> gewt: sometimes that's a precursor to a drive failing. do you have smartd running?
[18:17] <gewt> no, it was the install cd booting
[18:18] <greenfly> gewt: ahh, that would have been useful information :)
[18:19] <greenfly> I'd still scan the install CD for errors before you use it
[20:44] <backenfutter> does anybody know how to solve this? vzquota : (error) Quota is not running for id 101
