[03:46] I've not tried it yet... thought I should. [03:46] I was really close to the distillery a year and a half ago. should have visited it. [03:47] Question: I have a Ubuntu 8.04 server running apache and php, we just moved from another ubuntu server, but for some reason top is showing 90% wa cpu usage during peaks times [03:47] what can I do to debug what is causing such a huge IO issue? [03:57] Isn't wa idle? [03:58] Rather, waiting for I/O. [03:59] "wa -- iowait Amount of time the CPU has been waiting for I/O to complete." [03:59] So basically what that's telling you is that your PHP crap is highly I/O bound. [03:59] <|dthacker|> carmony: what is your storage on the new server? [04:00] carmony: and what changed hardware-wise? [04:02] <|dthacker|> carmony: are you connecting to the same DB instance.? Is the DB tuning different? [04:04] k, we have a db server and a web server [04:05] we moved the web server to a beefier dual quad core machine [04:05] and what's changed? [04:05] it was on a dual dual [04:05] it was on a 8.10 Ubuntu server machine, now its on a 8.04 server [04:05] sure you're running an SMP kernel and that all procs are recognized? [04:05] lol, [04:05] mattt: how will that help with his I/O problem? [04:06] I'm a developer first, and sys admin second, so I'm not sure what that all means [04:07] twb: won't directly, but it's a new box ... these are simple things to check [04:08] carmony: on that note, has the disk configuration changed? [04:10] twb: wb :) [04:10] new HD [04:10] carmony: what was it before and what is it now? [04:10] but nothing fancy [04:10] no raid or anything [04:12] it was on virtual machine before [04:12] mattt: fbi crashed my laptop :-( [04:13] twb: :( [04:16] is anyone aware of some app that will allow me to sync data from a W2K server to drives on ubuntu server? [04:16] captainkirk: Samba [04:16] ok, so I already running samba in my ubuntu server on the same subnet [04:18] ok. another q. how do i rename my ubuntu server? [04:20] captainkirk: sudo hostname newhostname [04:21] hi, I'm sort of new to TCP/IP but here is my question: I've set up my ubuntu-server box as a gateway using iptables forwarding. The computer picks up internet and sends it to the WAN port on my wireless router. The problem is that I cannot access the gateway using its local domain name from the router's LAN. How can I get this to work? [04:22] the address is "server.local" but it doesn't resolve [04:22] avahi is set up and it worked before when the computer was part of the LAN [04:23] it just doesn't resolve when the computer is the gateway for the router [04:24] how do i restart the network after changing the static ip in interfaces? [04:24] captainkirk: you could do "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [04:25] captainkirk: that way you would also know that it should work on reboot [04:25] micahf: thanks. i was using network instead of networking.... :) lots to learn [04:25] I hear you [04:25] New bug: #369634 in openldap (main) "package slapd 2.4.15-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: " [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/369634 [04:26] captainkirk, i'd suggest restarting networks from inside screen [04:27] any ideas why I can't access my router's gateway by hostname? [04:27] i restarted from ssh console.... it froze (of course) but now logged back in with new ip and all good [04:31] twb: where should i look to find info to configure samba to sync data files from W2K server? [04:32] It depends what you mean by "sync data" [04:33] twb: i would like to have a realtime sync if possible (like a networked mirror) otherwise a schedule file sync arrangement [04:34] twb: so main data store is on w2k server, using ubuntu and samba as a backup data store via sync [04:34] Eh, I don't know too much about that. [04:34] You could try asking #samba [04:34] kk [04:34] is that on freenode? [04:35] dont worry... found it [05:59] can anyone tell what command line to use to search for file on the server? like a wildcard all folder type search [06:00] or maybe someone could just tell me where to find the rsync conf file [06:01] captainkirk: the rsync client config file, or the rsync server config file? [06:01] rsyncd is basically an FTP server, but using the rsync protocol. [06:02] twb... i am looking for the rsync server config file [06:03] is it correct that the 'server' is the computer storing the copy of the files? [06:04] The rsync server config file is in /etc/rsyncd.conf or so, but I don't think you want the rsync server. [06:04] twb: well i have files on a w2k server that i want backed up to ubuntu via rsync (or any other method if you have a suggestion) [06:05] That would be the rsync *client*. [06:05] so the server is the one sending the files? [06:05] You write a cron job that runs rsync with particular options. The "config file" is then just that cron job. [06:05] captainkirk: it's a pull-based operation. [06:06] rsync connects to your windows server using ssh, and copies files from it. [06:06] Note that due to brokenness in Windows' design, you cannot copy files that are in use (e.g. the operating system). [06:06] ok, so just invoke the rsyncd with command line options scheduled via cron [06:06] captainkirk: not rsyncd. [06:07] rsync. [06:07] i only intend to copy data files at night. [06:07] twb: and the rsync software on the w2k server runs in server mode then? [06:08] You may also want to look at rsnapshot, which is a wrapper for rsync intended to help you use it for incremental backups. [06:08] twb: wrapper for windows or linux? [06:08] captainkirk: yes, but the rsync "server" on windows is only launched on demand. [06:08] On linux, the cron job runs "rsync windows:/foo" and that in turn calls "ssh windows rsync -serve /foo" [06:09] i have found a prog called deltacopy which runs on w2k as a service [06:28] twb: Hey!! great excitement... i actually got it to work!! [07:09] why does every openvpn howto i read seem like a pain in the arse to setup? is there no quick and dirty way to setup a vpn? [07:10] vpn's seem very complex, maybe its just 12am and i dont have the patience right now, am i right? [07:16] The quick and dirty way is to use ssh instead of openvpn === MohammadBoozary is now known as Mohammad[B] [07:48] I have to change olcSizeLimit, but I'm a bit confused about where this settings is stored. When using ldapmodify -x -D cn=admin,cn=config -W, which dn am I supposed to connect to? [07:48] using ubuntu server 8.10 [07:49] god morning, day and evening from noway by the way :) [08:08] found it. It wasn't that hard after all :) [08:12] Hi, dovecot is an imap server right? [08:12] I've got a server-computer running ovecot and I would like to reach my imap server it on my desktop computer using thunderbird [08:13] However, I'm at a loss on how to accomplish this [08:18] sluimers: dovecot is both an imap and pop3 server (and a bit more, but that's probably not really important for you right now). [08:19] sluimers: If you want it to serve imap, you need to install dovecot-imapd [08:20] I just created a new filesystem [08:20] how do I find it's UUID to add an entry into fstab [08:21] found it, blkid [08:21] soren, I have that already installed [08:22] sluimers: Ok. then what exactly is the problem? [08:22] I try to mail to this server and get this errror: [08:23] Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 sorry, mail to that recipient is not accepted (#5.7.1) (state 14). [08:25] sluimers: "mail to this server"? How so? [08:33] server-computer [08:33] sorry [08:37] sluimers: that's not a dovecot issue, that's an issue either with your mail server (likely postfix) or with your dns setup (i.e. the mx record pointing to the wrong machine) [08:37] ah [08:38] I'm such a newbie with this :/ [08:38] sluimers: you want to look in /var/log/mail to verify that its getting to your server and see what errors are reported there. [08:38] sorry /var/log/mail.log [08:40] the only thing I read is me logging in and out of mutt I think [08:40] Login... Disconneced.. Login.. Disconnected [08:43] sluimers: can you connect to the mail server's smtp port? e.g. 'nc [servernameorip] smtp' [08:46] Like I said, I'm very newbie, I don't know what my servernameorip is [08:46] I tried 'nc localhost smtp' but connection is refused [08:47] while logged in to the server? [08:47] yes [08:48] I have managed to send an e-mail from my server-computer to my gmail though, using mutt [08:48] and exim4 [08:51] wait... I should tell you a bit more. I want this to work because I want to make a contact page on my website. I bought a domain-name. The website is running on my server-computer [08:51] I typed in nc smtp and it's giving me: [08:52] 220 rblsmtpd.local [08:56] sluimers: is the hostname returned by "host -t mx your.domain.name" the same as your server-computer? [08:58] no it's the hmmm... I should just mention it. it's 0 smtp.secureserver.net [08:58] and 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net [08:59] I typed in smtp.secureserver.net as server name in thunderbird [09:00] username as [09:00] secure connection as TLS, as I find that in the mail.log [09:01] port 143 [09:01] oh and e-mail name is the same [09:01] as my username [09:07] What is the command to add a user with it's home in /var/www and able to use ftp services? [09:10] sluimers: there's two elements to receiving email: (1) getting your dns set up so that other mail servers know how to find the ip address of your server and (2) configuring your mail server (exim4 in your case) to accept mail; at a minimum it needs to listen on port 25 and accept mail for your domain. [09:13] I assume secureserver.net (lightedge?) is handling dns for you, so you'll need to figure out how to get them to set up an mx record that points to an A name record for your server. [09:14] then you'll need to figure out why exim isn't listening on port 25 on your server; port 143 is imap, which is strictly for clients wishing to pull mail off of the server, not for sending.

[10:33] it was already running when I installed ubuntu on it [10:34] ok [10:34] so it means that any of your packages needed a mail sender [10:34] not a big deal [10:34] My advice would be to use postfix [10:34] install dovecot-postfix [10:34] (be sure to remove exim4) [10:35] and see if it works [10:35] in theory, it should work out-of-the-box [10:37] If later you want to switch to LDAP, I advise you to keep the following howto somewhere : [10:37] http://www.vogelweith.com/debian_server/07_postfix.php [10:37] it's really really good [10:37] but more avdanced [10:37] try to get basic stuffs working first [10:37] (sorry, I just realized it was in french) [10:38] lol, yeah, my french isn't that good [10:38] bonjour ploum, ca va? :P [10:39] <- all I remember from french lessons [10:39] bien merci :-D [10:39] I'm sorry, as I'm always switching from french to english, I don't always know the language of something I've just finished reading [10:40] je suis un hollandaise [10:41] errmm... is there a package called dovecot-postfix or did you mean to install them both?

[10:46] There's a package called dovecot-postfix (on Jaunty) [10:47] mutt is a mail client [10:47] just like evolution or thunderbird [10:47] Ah, I still use intiprid [10:47] Jaunty is still in betaphase right? [10:47] no [10:47] ah [10:47] it was released last week [10:48] and one of the big improvement for mail servers is this new packages "dovecot-postfix" which enable a working configuration "out-of-the-box" [10:49] PLEASE !!! can anyone help me with my postfix-procmail?

[13:13] lamont: it could be, indeed [13:14] do you know how I can test that ? [13:15] ploum: a goodly scattering of -v options in master.cf should do the trick, once you wade through the possibly thousands of lines of logging [13:17] I don't understand the following lines : [13:17] 127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - - - - smtpd [13:17] -o content_filter= [13:17] -o local_recipient_maps= [13:17] -o relay_recipient_maps= [13:17] (in master.cf) [13:22] Right, I've tried a gui version of ubuntu and the internet works, however it fails setting up on the ubuntu server install? [13:23] TarBar: wifi or cable ? [13:24] ploum: 127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - - - - smtpd This is setting postfix up to listen on localhost on port 10025 for mail re-injection once it has passed through external filtering... like Amavis, Spamassassin, clamav etc... [13:24] cable mate. [13:24] lamont: Final-Recipient: rfc822; ploum+bugzilla@ploum.net so it looks like it doesn't even try to use the recipient_delimiter [13:24] I don't understand why [13:24] TarBar: without GUI, you don't have NetworkManager [13:25] mmm [13:25] ploum: there are many ways to configure postfix... ;) [13:25] you have to configure /etc/network/interfaces and do /etc/init.d/networking restart [13:26] VK7HSE: a bit too much, indeed [13:26] But if I put a recipient delimiter, it should work [13:27] ploum: It also depends on just what & how your want it all to work!... [13:28] VK7HSE: I really think that 99% of people want to have mails but it's a tradition in the software world to be flexible that even the basic needs are nearly impossible to understand [13:29] that's why I like the principle of dovecot-postfix [13:29] It makes the most frequent typical really easy [13:29] (the most typical usecase) [13:29] I admit that here, it's not a basic need [13:29] just a nice feature [13:30] Yeah I had to wade through quite a bit of documentation to get my head around it! but I'm by no means an "expert" in this field! [13:30] me neither [13:31] like I haven't setup my postfix to use mysql etc.. just for local accounts only... [13:31] but here, I'm really frustrated. It's a feature that should be, on the paper, really easy to have with dovecot-postfix but I cannot make it works without this package [13:31] VK7HSE: I use it with LDAP and it was *not* nice to set up ;-) [13:32] as I have just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04, and haven't done a fresh install, does the dovecot-postfix duo include amavis ??? or any filtering by default? [13:33] * VK7HSE just topping up the teacup! [13:33] not that I'm aware of [13:34] VK7HSE: No. We're looking at that for the future. [13:35] dont take the fun out of it by making it easy :P [13:35] There is a postfix-filter-add (IIRC) script shipped in the postfix package that should make integrating amavisd-new quite easy. [13:35] Ok! cool thanks ScottK ... I had fun sorting mine out!.. :P [13:36] I've the following postfix maps with ldap : http://www.vogelweith.com/debian_server/07_postfix.php#x1-180003.3 [13:36] ScottK I have mine working just fine... but I will compare the new info once its complete... [13:37] maybe the /etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf in the link refuse the user+folder@domain ? [13:37] I had it backwards. It's /usr/sbin/postfix-add-filter [13:38] If you just execute /usr/sbin/postfix-add-filter it will explain what it does [13:39] ScottK hey that pretty neat!... you guys have been hard at it!... :D [13:45] That's actually been there in Intrepid too, but didn't get the press that dovecot-postfix is getting. [13:46] ScottK... gee that would have saved me many hours of "learning" !!! but hey I needed to understand just what it was I was attempting to do... not just cut'n'paste the whole config! [13:47] (damm, it looks like it's a old problem : http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0611/0115.html ) [13:48] ah, ploum :) [13:49] I now "understand" why I left ldap alone !!! :P [13:50] i don't see why ldap/passd/sql would make any difference with delimiter [13:50] if postfix knows what the delimiter is, then it knows what is the username [13:51] and will ask ldap/sql/passwd for a correct username [13:51] for me, I just didn't understand it! plus for a home server it was just overkill !!! [13:52] easy with '!' [13:52] ivoks: I don't understand it more than you [13:52] what you say is logical [13:52] but I think I've tried all logical solutions [13:52] ploum: it doesn't work for you? [13:53] so I'm trying the non-sense approach [13:53] ivoks: no [13:53] ploum: do you use dovecot as MDA? [13:53] yes [13:53] with sieve and everything working fine [13:53] you configured both dovecot and postfix to do that, right? [13:53] ok [13:53] ivoks: how do you configure dovecot for that ? [13:54] ploum: you have to enable mda in its configuration [13:54] this is just that **** recipient_delimiter which is not taken into account [13:54] ivoks: yes [13:54] (protocol lda) [13:54] my config is working for nearly one year [13:54] ok then [13:54] how does mailbox_command looks like? [13:54] empty [13:55] so, let's start again [13:55] ploum: do you use dovecot as MDA? [13:55] correct answer on this question is: no [13:55] unless you made serious changes to master.cf [13:56] virtual_transport = dovecot [13:56] master.cf : [13:56] dovecot unix - n n - - pipe [13:56] flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $recipient [13:56] so I really believe that I'm using dovecot as MDA [13:56] you do, but you didn't set it up to look at extensions [13:57] really interesting [13:57] How can I do that [13:57] ? [13:57] http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix [13:57] flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -n -m ${extension} [13:57] notice the -n -m ${extension} [13:58] /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver --help [13:58] doh, no --help [13:58] http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA [13:58] -m : Destination mailbox (default is INBOX). If the mailbox doesn't exist, it's created (unless -n is used). If message couldn't be saved to the mailbox for any reason, it's delivered to INBOX instead. [13:59] so, you aren't exporting mailbox name to dovecot's MDA [13:59] that's why it can't deliver in specified mailbox [14:00] ivoks: but there's another problem [14:00] It doesn't even try [14:00] >: user unknown [14:00] of course it doesn't; you didn't tell it to try [14:01] have you added -n -m ${extension} ? [14:01] yes [14:01] and reloaded postfix [14:01] and it's still the same [14:01] so, how does that line in master.cf looks like now? [14:03] flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $recipient -n -m ${extension} [14:03] doesn't work (user unknonw) [14:03] flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${@user}@{nexthop} -n -m ${extension} : [14:03] mails are not coming [14:06] status=deferred (mail system configuration error) [14:07] I'm sure there's something I don't understand [14:07] sorry, phone [14:07] (I always said that master.cf is the limit of my intelligence) [14:07] no problem ! You are helping me ! Thanks :-) [14:08] so... correct line would be: [14:09] flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} -n -m ${extension} [14:10] save it, restart postfix [14:10] send your self a mail on email+existing_folder@domain.com [14:10] user unknown [14:11] I've a "bugzilla" folder [14:11] my mail is ploum@ploum.net [14:11] so I send to ploum+bugzilla@ploum.net [14:11] user unknown [14:11] ok [14:11] postconf recipient_delimiter [14:11] ? [14:12] recipient_delimiter = + [14:12] and how about ldap filter? [14:12] have you looked at ldap to see which user postfix is requesting [14:13] virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-accounts.cf [14:13] virtual_alias_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-maildrop.cf [14:13] the .cf files are here : http://www.vogelweith.com/debian_server/07_postfix.php#x1-180003.3 [14:13] basically : [14:14] query_filter = (&(objectClass=mailAccount)(mailalias=%s)(mailenable=OK)) result_attribute = mail [14:15] so, of course, ploum+bugzilla will not match any ldap alias [14:15] but that's the goal of the stuff [14:15] Postfix should only ask for "ploum@ploum.net" [14:16] http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0611/0189.html [14:18] er... [14:19] what's the username, ploum or ploum@ploum.net? [14:19] bah, never mind [14:19] that's maybe the problem. The username is "ploum@ploum.net" [14:19] so maybe it looks for "ploum" only [14:20] probably [14:20]
