| twb | How do I discover what my nearest primary mirror is? Apparently "apt-get install apt-spy" is wrong. | 02:53 |
| brad_ | I will ask in case anyone knows (I've went through synaptics and can't find what I'm looking for) I have about 150 accounts telnet/ssh on different devices that I have to change my passwords every 60-90 days and was wondering if there was an app that could assist me with this? | 02:58 |
| twb | brad_: the Right Thing would be to stop using passwords. Instead, use key-based authentication. Then you only need to change the passphrase on one ssh key. | 03:13 |
| twb | If you just want a tool to generate randomized passwords, I can recommend apg(1). | 03:13 |
| brad_ | I agree, but they can't force passwords on the ssh key | 03:13 |
| brad_ | the right thing to do would be to use radius | 03:14 |
| twb | brad_: possibly so. | 03:14 |
| brad_ | twb: nah, I need something to go change all those passwords. | 03:14 |
| twb | That would basically mean that you had all the passwords written down where the script could get to them anyway. | 03:15 |
| twb | IMO that pretty much defeats the purpose of having passwords. | 03:15 |
| brad_ | I would have the passwords consistent across the devices and would just be changed. I keep everything in an encrypted app on my blackberry | 03:17 |
| twb | brad_: wait a minute. You're saying that you have 50 different telnet and ssh targets, and they all have the SAME password? | 03:19 |
| brad_ | yes, but I'm not an administrator on those boxes... for example, the cisco routers are read only. | 03:22 |
| brad_ | the one's I admin I use securid on :) | 03:22 |
| twb | Owie | 03:22 |
| twb | brad_: you mean an RSA token? | 03:22 |
| twb | Yeah | 03:23 |
| brad_ | if they're going to use telnet and not ssh then it doesn't deserve a special password for each one since they don't care about security to behin with. | 03:23 |
| twb | I hate the new USB ones, though | 03:23 |
| brad_ | yep, RSA securid token. | 03:23 |
| twb | brad_: IMO it doesn't deserve a password in the first place -- just make it the null password. | 03:23 |
| brad_ | I just have the standard keyfob | 03:23 |
| brad_ | i've already installed the sshaskpass app so if a site requires a password for your ssh key it fakes it out. | 03:24 |
| twb | You mean a passphrase? | 03:24 |
| brad_ | but then again I'm the type of person who locks my machine every time I walk away from it. | 03:24 |
| brad_ | yes | 03:25 |
| twb | I'd have said that's ssh-agent's job, not ssh-askpass's | 03:25 |
| sebblucas | hi! | 03:49 |
| sebblucas | i've installed a 'Perfect Server' setup for ISPConfig (2) on 8.04 LTS | 03:50 |
| sebblucas | i need some assistance as to where are some guides or PDFs on hosting own site. | 03:51 |
| sebblucas | i just registered a domain name today | 03:51 |
| sebblucas | and i would like to set it up, though i have no clue what to lookup in google. | 03:51 |
| sebblucas | any help out there? | 03:51 |
| twb | I'm not aware of any rigorous, comprehensive documentation on the subject. | 03:54 |
| twb | Generally I'd be inclined to recommend a VPS solution rather than hosting your own hardware in a back room. | 03:55 |
| twb | For ispconfig specifically I found upstream documentation at http://www.ispconfig.org/documentation.htm | 03:56 |
| oh_noes | Is this command meant to work? "scp /local/* user@server:/foo/bar/" meant to work? I get "/local/* No such file or directory" | 04:41 |
| oh_noes | ls -l /local/* works (it exists) | 04:41 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | try scp -r /local/ instead of scp /local/* | 04:43 |
| oh_noes | oh nice, thanks | 04:45 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | ( i assume you want a recursive copy ... :)) | 04:47 |
| oh_noes | Yep. I found * works in some systems, but i'll stick to recursive, cheers | 04:47 |

| HigH5 | No, is something different, but I have that sorted out. | 10:07 |

| HigH5 | Actually, the dn is dc=kas,dc=lan | 10:09 |

| HigH5 | No, that's fine: slapadd -l kas.lan.ldif | 10:10 |

| HigH5 | Well, I just figured it out. The template from the official guide seems to be incomplete. | 10:19 |

| davmor2 | Guys I had a query last night off a guy who runs a small hosting company.

(the hosting config panel you get) Are there any plans to get this certified for ubuntu or not do you know? | 11:50 |
| ttx | davmor2: it's apparently not a question of certification. cPanel apparently only supports RHEL (or centos). Since it's closed-source afaict, they would need to port it somehow | 12:27 |
| davmor2 | ttx: cool thanks I'll pass the message on | 12:28 |

| hackeron | hey, I put "fusecctv hard nice -10" into /etc/security/limits.conf - logged out and back in, but I get "nice: cannot set niceness: Permission denied" when I run say nice -n -5 echo -- any ideas? | 15:41 |
| giovani3 | are you root? | 15:42 |
| hackeron | giovani3: no | 15:43 |
| giovani3 | well uh ... why do you think you'd be getting a "permission denied" then? | 15:43 |
| giovani3 | only root can set a negative nice value | 15:43 |
| hackeron | giovani3: that's the question - the line I added to limits.conf should allow user fusecctv to set nice level up to -10 | 15:43 |
| giovani3 | unless the process has been specifically allowed beyond that in limits.conf | 15:43 |
| giovani3 | yes, but you just said you ran nice on echo | 15:44 |
| giovani3 | not fusecctv | 15:44 |
| hackeron | giovani3: huh? | 15:44 |
| giovani3 | "when I run say nice -n -5 echo" | 15:44 |

| giovani3 | great | 15:45 |
| hackeron | except why on earth are limits disabled in /etc/pam.d/su by default!??!? | 15:45 |
| jpds | hackeron: Because root is not enabled by default? | 16:15 |
| jpds | And thus, sudo is used instead? | 16:15 |
| hackeron | jpds: what? | 16:18 |
| hackeron | jpds: limits allow you not to use root | 16:18 |
| hackeron | jpds: so here you're forced to use root unless you edit /etc/pam.d/su and enable limits which enabled /etc/security processing -- you may as well delete /etc/security in the default setup :) | 16:19 |

| giovani | !webmin | 19:48 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 19:48 |

| Penguino | (sorry if i'm bothering you) | 23:35 |
| Penguino | Sorry | 23:49 |
| Penguino | Ok, this is my question | 23:50 |
| Penguino | I'm trying to make it catch wireless connection with a USB adapter | 23:50 |
| Penguino | Exactly it uses this chipset | 23:50 |
| Penguino | Bus 002 Device 006: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter | 23:50 |
| Penguino | Do Ubuntu Server support this chipset? | 23:51 |
| Penguino | I found the driver, but i don't know if I must install it | 23:51 |
| Penguino | Again, sorry if i'm annoying :( | 23:52 |
| JanC | wireless in a server? | 23:53 |
| Penguino | Yes | 23:53 |
| Penguino | You mean... this is not possible? | 23:53 |
| Penguino | I was going to make server use wireless connection | 23:53 |
| JanC | it's not a very common use case | 23:53 |
| Penguino | Oh | 23:54 |
| Penguino | What about a wired connection? | 23:54 |
| JanC | have you tried using the desktop kernel? | 23:54 |
| Penguino | Nope | 23:54 |
| Penguino | I didn't try | 23:54 |
| Penguino | I think it's the kernel too | 23:54 |
| Penguino | But... does desktop kernel work ok with a server? | 23:54 |
| JanC | Penguino: if your server is based on desktop hardware, then the desktop kernel should work | 23:55 |
| Penguino | Yes, it's based on desktop hardware | 23:56 |
| Penguino | And wireless adapter worked on my desktop | 23:56 |
| Penguino | Ok | 23:56 |
| Penguino | So... thank you so much | 23:56 |
| Penguino | Sorry for my noobness | 23:56 |
| Penguino | :D | 23:56 |
| JanC | no problem | 23:56 |
| Penguino | Oh | 23:56 |
| JanC | the -server kernel is more for real server hardware | 23:57 |
| Penguino | Does PHP, MySQL, LAMP and all that applications work on desktop server? | 23:57 |
| JanC | yes | 23:57 |
| Penguino | (ok, thanks for your advice) | 23:57 |
| Penguino | I didn't know that | 23:57 |
| Penguino | Ok | 23:57 |
| JanC | you only have to change the kernel, not install everything again ツ | 23:57 |
| Penguino | Again, thanks | 23:57 |
| Penguino | Oh | 23:57 |
| Penguino | Again... | 23:58 |
| Penguino | Let me google it | 23:58 |
| JanC | you need the kernel images ending in -generic | 23:58 |
| Penguino | Ohhhhhhh | 23:58 |
| Penguino | I understand | 23:58 |
| Penguino | My image ends on -server | 23:58 |
| Penguino | So, shouldI remove current image and | 23:59 |
| JanC | yes, that's what the server CD installs by default, while the desktop CD installs -generic by default | 23:59 |
| Penguino | *install new one? | 23:59 |
| Penguino | Oh | 23:59 |
| Penguino | Ok | 23:59 |
| Penguino | Apt-get, i think | 23:59 |
