[00:04] <tonyyarusso> I'd like to set up a caching server (DNS, web, other?) just for personal home use.  Would I need it to have two NICs, or could it be done with just one?  (I'm considering an Eee Box for the task currently.)
[00:04] <giovani2> I don't see why you'd need more than one nic, nope
[00:06] <tonyyarusso> Excellent.  Wasn't sure if such a thing would need to also be acting as the gateway or some such thing.
[00:06] <giovani2> well, you don't have to make it your gateway
[00:07] <giovani2> you could, but, running a web cache, and a dns cache don't require that, they just require that your user computer's dns be pointed at it, and it have your box as its http proxy
[00:10] <tonyyarusso> Any other tricks like that that you can think of to make my internet connection appear faster?
[00:10] <giovani2> uh
[00:10] <giovani2> how fast is your internet connection?
[00:11] <tonyyarusso> 12Mbit DSL, iirc.
[00:12] <tonyyarusso> Obviously I can't make big downloads faster, but for my everyday stuff every little bit helps.
[00:13] <giovani2> unless you have extremely high latency, it's unlikely you're going to see much gain
[00:14] <tonyyarusso> (I'm also partly doing this just to learn how, so I could potentially do similar things on a broader scale later in life.)
[02:33] <ball> Anyone tried boinc on Ubuntu Server?
[03:47] <kriel> Okay; so. The linux installer asked me if I wanted to raid my system; I set it up / to be raid1. For some reason it didn't do a dpkg-reconfigure mdadm during setup (or at least didn't ask those questions.) I did sudo dpkg-reconfigure mdadm after the fact. Halfway through it gave a bunch of "rm: cannot remove md0-: Read-only file system". Should I be worried?

[05:55] <Shoopuf> Hello.. Does anyone know how to add the PHP path directory so that any scripts I run can use PHP? I don't know where to add the PATH to
[06:04] <ball> If you install php, doesn't it go into your path by default?
[06:04] <Shoopuf> Hmm... Well when I type "php" I get an error "-bash: php: command not found"
[06:05] <sommer> Shoopuf: you'll want to install the php5-cli package
[06:05] <Shoopuf> sommer: ok, apt-getting now :)
[06:16] <Shoopuf> sommer, ball: thanks guys, workin like a charm now... had to install php5-cli
[06:16] <sommer> welcome
[06:17] <Shoopuf> i figured i had to edit some text file and add a path somewhere :/
[06:18]  * ball wasn't much help, but I appreciate the sentiment
[11:05] <rags> how to add a second NIC to ubuntu...it gets listed in lspci
[11:15] <llragsll> any one...
[11:30] <Sooke1> Hi
[11:30] <Sooke1> I have mounted a Linux server with POSTFIX, it doesn't have a domain name, just a static public IP. All the emails I send trought it are put into spam folders, I have read something about MX records, etc.. Can anyone please help me?, thanks
[11:41] <llragsll> s: how to add a second NIC to ubuntu...it gets listed in lspci
[12:16] <ziroday> Hi, would anyone know why ssh would be laggy? (I mean just typing in text is slow)
[12:16] <acicula> heu busy link?
[12:16] <Nafallo> 3G connections do that.
[12:17] <ziroday> but its just text, surely even the most basic internet can not lag on that?
[12:17] <acicula> well your letter has to go to and from your server first
[12:17] <acicula> i think
[12:18] <ziroday> any idea on how to speed it up, if it were the connection?
[12:18] <Deeps> latency is latency
[12:18] <Deeps> ping the server
[12:19] <Deeps> 200ms+ ping can make ssh appear 'laggy'
[12:19] <Nafallo> no it isn't. it's screen re-draws.
[12:19] <ziroday> Deeps: ah right
[12:19] <Nafallo> :-P
[12:19] <ziroday> eek 2000ms, time to get a better connection methinks
[12:19] <Deeps> there you go then
[12:19] <Deeps> it's taking 2 second for a simple message to reach the server and get back to you
[12:19] <ziroday> Deeps: thanks!
[12:20] <Deeps> ssh is an ecrypted bytestream, not just plain text ;)
[12:20] <rags> I am trying to add a second nic to my ubuntu server..it get's listed on lspci..but how to give it an interface name like eth1??
[12:20] <Deeps> (so that'll add an additional 5ms or so?)
[12:20] <Deeps> rags: ifconfig -a, do you see a new interface there?
[12:21] <rags> oh ya...it is eth2 though not eth1
[12:21] <rags> i did only ifconfig previosly tht's y i missed it
[12:21] <Deeps> ifconfig only shows interfaces that are marked as 'up'
[12:21] <Deeps> ifconfig -a shows all interfaces
[12:22] <Deeps> you can change your network interface labels with /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[12:22] <Deeps> or rather, not with, but in that file
[12:22] <rags> all right...thx..now all I have to do is add it to /etc/network/interfaces file right??
[12:22] <Deeps> yep
[12:25] <rags> in the 70-persistent-net.rules( wht a weird name ) there is another device (USB device 0x0bb4:0x0b0c ) which is taking the eth1 name.. any idea wht it is?
[12:25] <rags> it says in brackets rndis_host
[16:57] <joaopinto> hi
[17:26] <Noble> Hi, is it possible to install firestarter on ubuntu server edition without GUI?
[17:28] <acicula> Noble: yeah, you can forward x11 connecions wit ssh, it'll still install a lot of gui libraries and such though
[17:29] <pmatulis> Noble: have you tried ufw?
[17:30] <Noble> No, is that similar to firestarter?
[17:30] <acicula> is there a log parser of sorts that can parse the firewall messages from the syslog?
[17:30] <jpds> !ufw | Noble
[17:30] <jpds> Arg..
[17:30] <acicula> heh
[17:30] <acicula> Noble: it's a commandline front end of sorts for the firewall, just like firestarter does
[17:31] <pmatulis> ufw comes installed by default on recent releases
[17:31] <acicula> but without the gui and the crapload of gui dependencies
[17:31] <pmatulis> it's pretty basic.  depends what you want to achieve
[17:31] <Noble> Ok, sounds nice. Im looking for something to share my connetcion with other computers
[17:31] <Noble> I have 2 NICs
[17:31] <pmatulis> hmm, not sure it can set up NAT
[17:31] <pmatulis> read up though
[17:32] <Noble> Ok, I was looking at IPcop, but it seems it cant run all the other servers I want.
[17:32] <Noble> So its kinda somthing similar im looking for.
[17:33] <Noble> just on top of ubuntu
[17:40] <Noble> If I understand this correctly, many firewalls uses iptables to set up everything?
[17:40] <Noble> So basicly I can use iptables as well with a bit of reading?
[17:40] <acicula> everything uses iptables
[17:40] <acicula> well, linux 2.6/2.4 anyway
[17:41] <Noble> Would it be very optimistic of me to thinker with it?
[17:45] <Noble> Thanks guys, I found what I needed for now: http://www.howtoforge.com/nat-gateway-iptables-port-forwarding-dns-and-dhcp-setup-ubuntu-8.10-server
[19:05] <bosco_> never heard of this { Suhosin-Patch Server } does that have something to do with php securing it what exaclty does it do???
[19:07] <sommer> bosco_: http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/
[19:08] <bosco_> sommer, thanks so it is a good thing i have it installed
[19:09] <sommer> I think so
[19:09] <bosco_> lol thanks
[19:09] <bosco_> i would think so as well
[19:10] <bosco_> just never heard of it dont know much about it
[19:20] <genii> Does anyone know what sort of format the pine -passfile expects?
[19:21] <genii> eg: I'm trying to start pine so it auto uses a supplied password
[19:37] <genii> nvm, I just discovered it uses same as .netrc
[20:56] <roy_hobbs> Does anyone have any experience with openldap->sasl->gssapi->kerberos
[20:57] <roy_hobbs> I can't quite get things working.
[21:52] <zaapiel-mobile> hello
[21:53] <zaapiel-mobile> how do i get ufw back to default?
[21:53] <zaapiel-mobile> ive been messing with it all day and probally borked it
[21:53] <zaapiel-mobile> id like to get it back to the default settings
[22:10] <sgla1> bind9 question ok here?
[22:52] <sgla1> question: Bind9 will not perform all required zone transfers between ubuntu 8.04 master and 8.04 slave dns servers.
[22:53] <sgla1> I see the notify for the reverse zone occur on the master, but it's not received on the slave server.
[22:53] <sgla1> Manual zone transfers from the master to the slave server (i.e. dig -t axfr my_reverse_zone) work fine.
[23:09] <bosco_> how do i take a directory and make it so no one can view it in a web browser never done it before ???
[23:27] <freaky_t> is there any nice new webapp like a newly started cms or smth. else? :D
