[00:11] <jtmoney> hey guys, for some reason i cannot log in to my box... either from ssh or from the console... when i type my login/password (which are correct), it doesn't log me in or give me an error message... it just displays the "Ubunutu 8.10 tty1" login screen again... i cannot log in from root because this is disabled
[00:11] <jtmoney> (for root, it says "Login incorrect")
[00:27] <jtmoney> ahh, here we are
[00:28] <jtmoney> segault at 0 ... error 4 in pam_smbpass.so[7fe9b2219000+149000]
[00:29] <hads> I recall seeing a bug for that.
[00:33] <dou213> to completely uninstall apache+php+mysql(lamp-server)? 'sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql php5-cgi php5-gd php5-mcrypt mysql-server phpmyadmin' ? how does it sound?
[00:37] <jtmoney> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/278617
[00:37] <jtmoney> that's what i had

[00:37] <jtmoney> dou213: that sounds about right
[00:37] <jtmoney> is there no metapackage that you could remove --purge and then autoremove --purge?
[00:40] <dou213> jtmoney, sry i don't understand ur question... metapackage is apache2 php5 and mysql-server i think, or not?
[00:57] <arooni-mobile> i'm getting connetion refused on port 24000 (when i try to ssh) even though i've opened up the port on my router, and enabled port forwarding...... what gives?
[01:02] <dou213> arooni-mobile, on port 24000 is running med-ltp
[01:02] <dou213> define another port and try it again
[01:02] <dou213> like port 24007
[01:03] <dou213> be sure to port-forward the right port in ur router's cfg

[05:40] <iverson0881> hello
[05:56] <iverson0881> anyone talking here?
[05:59] <ropetin> Nope
[05:59] <Samma3l> im here, but I dont think ill be much use
[06:06] <iverson0881> oh wanted to get some help with something server related
[06:07] <Samma3l> I can try maybe, some help is better than no help
[06:10] <ropetin> :)
[06:11] <ScottK> iverson0881: You are more likely to get actual help if you ask an actual question.
[06:11] <iverson0881> are there any good guides related to setting up openLDAP on ubuntu 8.04
[06:12] <ScottK> Did you look at the Ubuntu Server Guide?
[06:14] <ropetin> HowToForge usually has something you can work from
[06:14] <ropetin> Although it's always a good idea to take it with a pinch of salt, and try on a test system first :)
[06:15] <iverson0881> hmm I checked it out, but it would be very helpful if there was a way to manage all this throug some web gui
[06:16] <ropetin> Webmin doesn't help?
[06:17] <iverson0881> Is webmin compatible with Ubuntu's configuration files?
[06:17] <Samma3l> when I run apt-get update, does that just update the package list or does it also check for updates for installed packages
[06:17] <ropetin> Good question, no idea :)
[06:18] <ropetin> Samma3l: aren't they they same thing?
[06:18] <iverson0881> Samma3l: apt-get update would download the package list while apt-get upgrade will try to figure out what needs to be upgraded.
[06:18] <ropetin> It doesn't tell you updates are available from the CLI, if that's what you mean
[06:18] <Samma3l> ah thanks
[06:19] <stiv2k> hello what packages are these in?
[06:19] <stiv2k> You will need to ensure that Pear (http://pear.php.net) is installed on the machine that you are developing on, and that you have installed the MDB2 (http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2) Pear package.
[06:26] <ScottK> iverson0881: ebox is the web gui for servers that Ubuntu supports.
[06:26] <ScottK> !ebox
[06:27] <Samma3l> I thought ebox was broken for 8.10?
[06:27] <iverson0881> I'm using ubuntu 8.04 right now. As for ebox I'll check it out, i'm assuming it's modular, correct? I don't need a lot of the features it has.
[06:28] <ScottK> It is modular.  I don't recall which ones got into 8.04.
[06:28]  * ScottK finds vim is all the gui he needs for server admin.
[06:30] <iverson0881> anyone here ever use YUI Compressor?
[06:30] <stiv2k> what
[06:31] <iverson0881> the Yahoo javascript,css compressor
[06:32] <iverson0881> I noticed that jquery project just started using it for minifying and I have js files that need to be minified.
[10:22]  * delcoyote hola
[11:39] <Zerqent> I am having problem setting up libapache2-mod-auth-kerb in Hardy, the module works for authentication but causes apache2 to crash - tried it with basic auth and this does not happen) - (running a djangosite with mod_python, and apache2-mpm-worker if that mathers).
[11:41] <Zerqent> apache2 doesnt crash, but it's children segfaults in what seems a random behavior

[12:40] <Dark_Fire> Hello. Im trying to set up a PC that will share internet. I want a cache server. be able to block certain addresses, give limited Band Width to every account. Suspend accounts etc
[12:40] <Dark_Fire> I was wondering if there is a program that I could use to monitor all internet activity etc.
[12:43] <Dark_Fire> I want to set up a wireless network to cover quite a big distance. So I need it to be secure. Everyone in that area would buy internet from me with a certain bw. When that bw is exceeded the internet should be cut off until the next month.
[12:48] <Deeeps> !router
[12:49] <Deeeps> !nat
[12:49] <Deeeps> Dark_Fire: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router
[12:49] <Dark_Fire> o ok, thanks :)
[12:50] <Deeeps> Dark_Fire: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard
[12:50] <Deeeps> iftop, iptraf may also be of interest
[12:50] <Deeeps> secure your wireless using WPA(2) with an additional layer of clients needing to VPN
[12:51] <Deeeps> additoinally, canonical provide commercial support
[12:55] <Dark_Fire> thanks
[12:56] <Dark_Fire> Should I use Ubuntu Server for this small task or is there another operating system that would be better?
[13:01] <Dark_Fire> hwhats iftop and iptraf?
[13:03] <Deeeps> apt-cache show <package> gives you information about a package
[13:03] <Deeeps> as does packages.ubuntu.com
[13:03] <Deeeps> as does www.google.com
[13:03] <Deeeps> (in the event that a given application isn't in a package with it's same name, google's very useful!)
[13:05] <Dark_Fire> hehe thanks
[13:05] <Dark_Fire> Should I use Ubuntu Server for this small task or is there another operating system that would be better?
[13:05] <Dark_Fire> Like normal Ubuntu or something?
[13:05] <Deeeps> if you're only using a single server for all of this, ubuntu's a good option as most of the applicaitons you need are already compiled and packaged for the system
[13:07] <Dark_Fire> ubuntu or ubuntu server
[13:07] <Dark_Fire> ?
[13:07] <Deeeps> same thing, essentially
[13:07] <Deeeps> ubuntu desktop installs a gui that you shouldn't need, and a slightly different kernel
[13:08] <Deeeps> ubuntu server doesnt install a gui, opting for more command line tools instead, and a slightly different kernel
[13:08] <Deeeps> the rest of the packages are all the same
[13:08] <Dark_Fire> o ok
[13:09] <Dark_Fire> If I would have about 20-50 accounts what sort of computer would be sufficient?
[13:09] <Dark_Fire> sorry for all the stupid questions :/
[13:10] <Deeeps> try and see with what you've got
[13:10] <Deeeps> see how it performs
[13:11] <Dark_Fire> ok thanks :)

[13:32] <jdbrowne> Hello, reading various documentation, it seems that the way to create virtual machine under intrepid is to use vmbuilder from the package ubuntu-vm-buildeR
[13:33] <jdbrowne> vmbuilder has an option '-c' for a config file and I am trying to guess the format of the file. Is there examples of such configuration file on the web?
[14:31] <barduck> I need to create a user to run a daemon (doesn't need to have shell or login). Is there any special setting that I need to do or I just add the user with adduser and that's all ?
[14:36] <aruetten> if you want that the user has no shell, can specify as shell with useradd /bin/false. this will prevent anybody to login and get a shell with this user

[21:44] <Victor_Petrescu> hello
[21:45] <Victor_Petrescu> I was forwarded here from an Ubuntu Doc.
[21:45] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: I assume you have a question then? :)
[21:46] <Victor_Petrescu> yes, I was waiting for you to say something ..
[21:46] <Victor_Petrescu> basically I want to use the mail() function on PHP
[21:46] <Victor_Petrescu> but I installed the server and ... ooops .. it doesn't work
[21:47] <Victor_Petrescu> I've installed Postfix
[21:47] <Victor_Petrescu> but .. nothing
[21:47] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: I was just about to point out that you need a MTA like Postfix :)
[21:47] <andol> Have you tried using Postfix directly?
[21:47] <Victor_Petrescu> not sure how to do that
[21:47] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: An easy method is to install the package mailx
[21:47] <Victor_Petrescu> basically I need to read more
[21:48] <Victor_Petrescu> mailx
[21:48] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: That will provide the command "mail" which enables you to send an email directly from the cli on the server. Perfect when it comes to testing
[21:48] <Victor_Petrescu> so basically from my shell I cannot send mail right now?
[21:48] <Victor_Petrescu> it says now : No mail for victor.
[21:49] <andol> That means that you dodn't have any incoming mail in your mbox.
[21:49] <Victor_Petrescu> and I need to install mailx now
[21:49] <Victor_Petrescu> yeah
[21:49] <andol> When you have mailx install, try this command
[21:49] <Victor_Petrescu> I tried sending email from my Yahoo
[21:49] <Victor_Petrescu> still no email.
[21:50] <andol> echo "Hello world" | mail -s "testing" you@yourdomain.tld
[21:50] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: incoming mail is a slightly diffrent matter :)
[21:50] <Victor_Petrescu> geez
[21:50] <Victor_Petrescu> pop3 or something?
[21:51] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: Actually postfix takes care of the recieving part. Just that it might need to be configured a bit diffrently, to listen on external ports.
[21:51] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: but let us take this one step at the time :) The first step should be to get postfix sending mail, right?
[21:51] <Victor_Petrescu> yes
[21:52] <Victor_Petrescu> mailx emal@yahoo.com
[21:52] <Victor_Petrescu> Subject ..
[21:52] <Victor_Petrescu> how to change from subject to body?
[21:53] <andol> by pressing return :)
[21:53] <Victor_Petrescu> oh..
[21:53] <andol> when you'r done writing, you finnish it of by pressing ctrl+D
[21:54] <Victor_Petrescu> Null message body; hope that's ok
[21:55] <andol> Now take a look in /var/log/mail.log
[21:56] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: I would do something like: tail -fn 40 /var/log/mail.log
[21:56] <Victor_Petrescu> I didn't receive the email
[21:57] <andol> Then what does /var/log/mail.log say?
[21:58] <Victor_Petrescu> Feb  1 16:55:55 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[5544]: fatal: parameter "smtpd_recipient_restrictions": specify at least one working instance of: check_relay_domains, reject_unauth_destination, reject, defer or defer_if_permit
[22:00] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: How did you install postfix? Been modifying /etc/postfix/main.cf anything?
[22:01] <Victor_Petrescu> well..
[22:01] <Victor_Petrescu> can I uninstall it? I think it will uninstall mysql also
[22:01] <andol> Just uninstall postfix shouldn't remove mysql.
[22:02] <andol> Anyhow, you can always try and apt-get remove --purge postfix. Before it actually does the remove it will ask you if you really waaant to remove the packages it lists
[22:02] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: Yes, if you want to reinstall clean you want to use the --purge, to get rid of the old configuration files.
[22:03] <Victor_Petrescu> yeah, only I have more than 1 websites running mysql on it
[22:04] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: Then do your experiments on another, less critical, computer.
[22:05] <andol> Victor_Petrescu: If you want something to play around with I guess you could always set up a virtual server on your desktop computer?
[22:05] <Victor_Petrescu> well .. can't really emulate the conditions
[22:05] <Victor_Petrescu> I need to emulate the UBUNTU server, the DNS forwarding, everything
[22:06] <Deeps> you can, there are p2v tools you can use to copy a physical machine into a vm container
[22:11] <Victor_Petrescu> wow
[22:11] <Victor_Petrescu> ok, hold on
[22:11] <Victor_Petrescu> this server is hosted in another country
[22:11] <Victor_Petrescu> I cannot copy everything in a decent amount of time
[22:12] <Victor_Petrescu> and redirect the email dns etc
[22:14]  * Deeeps reads up
[22:14] <Deeeps> ah, if you're scared, do apt-get -s remove postfix
[22:14] <Deeeps> -s means simulation
[22:15] <Deeps> it'll tell you what packages will be removed, postfix should have absolutely no connection to mysql
[22:15] <Deeps> ..but not actually do anything
[22:16] <Deeps> remove never actually removes anything by default, always prompts you first with a list of all packages that will be removed
[22:18] <Victor_Petrescu> what is postfix-mysql
[22:18] <Deeps> apt-cache show postfix-mysql
[22:18] <Deeps> will give you a package description
[22:19] <Deeps> at a guess, it's mysql support for postfix
[22:19] <Victor_Petrescu> yes, it is
[22:19] <Victor_Petrescu> done
[22:19] <Victor_Petrescu> no harm done
[22:19] <Victor_Petrescu> websites running smooth
[22:19] <Victor_Petrescu> still no mail function
[22:19] <Victor_Petrescu> now ..
[22:19] <Victor_Petrescu> install the default postfix?
[22:20] <Victor_Petrescu> I mean .. done with remove --purge
[22:20] <Deeps> if you didnt use --purge, the config files and such will still remain
[22:20] <Deeps> ok
[22:20] <Deeps> apt-get install postfix
[22:21] <Victor_Petrescu> ok ..
[22:21] <Victor_Petrescu> done
[22:22] <Victor_Petrescu> now?
[22:23] <Deeps> you also need php-mail i think
[22:24] <hads> And probably some minimal configuration of postfix.
[22:24] <garu> hi everyone

[22:31] <Victor_Petrescu>    2. emails from your network have been generating complaints from Yahoo! Mail users.

[22:32] <Victor_Petrescu> new domain..
[22:32] <Victor_Petrescu> what spam?
[22:32] <Deeps> ask yahoo
[22:32] <Deeps> it's their mailserver policy you're battling against now
[22:33] <Victor_Petrescu> gmail works fine
[22:33] <Deeps> good luck!
[22:33] <Victor_Petrescu> I guess drinks are in order
[22:33] <Victor_Petrescu> thank you, I believe you'll be seeing a lot of me around here
[22:34] <Victor_Petrescu> 1st day, 1st problem, 1st solution :)
[22:34] <Victor_Petrescu> security question
[22:34] <Victor_Petrescu> I only have postfix installed
[22:35] <Victor_Petrescu> nobody but localhost should be able to use my server, right?
[22:36] <Deeeps> yep
[22:36] <Victor_Petrescu> ok..
[22:36] <Victor_Petrescu> now
[22:36] <Deeeps> except for mail thats being delivered to your box's domain
[22:36] <Victor_Petrescu> any simple way to forward all incoming email to my gmail?
[22:36] <Deeeps> dunno
[22:37] <Victor_Petrescu> ok, how do I read my email than?
[22:37] <Victor_Petrescu> all email on anything@domain.com
[22:37] <Deeeps> it'll end up in /var/mail for valid users on the defined domain
[22:37] <garu> I didnt even know I needed a dhcp server and a dns server.then I saw on a guide that I needed one. I wanted to have 1 debian server with everything on it.(1 ldap server, 1 kerberos kdc, 1 dhcp server and 1 dns server), and I'd have 2 other virtual machines, 1 with windows and another with linux
[22:38] <Victor_Petrescu> ok, and anyone else?
[22:38] <Deeeps> Victor_Petrescu: there are guides and howtos on the internet for how to setup and configure a mailserver, including on the ubuntu server guide
[22:38] <Deeeps> !serverguide | Victor_Petrescu
[22:38] <Victor_Petrescu> great, thank you
[22:38] <Victor_Petrescu> the thing is, I've been reading from more than 1 source
[22:39] <Deeeps> where possible, stick to the ubuntu documentation
[22:39] <Victor_Petrescu> and expected it to work but I guess I didn't need all the bling bling
[22:39] <Victor_Petrescu> will do
