incentifitWhat user should own /var/www ?03:01
nick125Isn't root supposed to own /var/www with www-data having read access?03:02
Picino, it should be www-data:www-data iirc03:04
nick125Pici: I didn't think www-data should own /var/www for security reasons.03:05
incentifitI have an application, hudson, that I want to allow to write files into /var/www.  root:root currently owns/var/www.  I thought that if www-data was the user that started apache, it should own /var/www and I could just make hudson user a part of www-data group.  Is that the right thing to do?  Surely I should not make hudson part of root.03:07

kirklandttx: k16:43
smoserbobg, sorry for late response.16:51
smoseryes, you're right. building and uploading kernels and initramdisk is not allowed for "normal" accounts.16:52
smoserbut amazon does allow certain accounts to do it. the "canonical" account has access to do this.16:52
smoserour kernel team (primarily zul and jjohansen) have produced the most current kernels available on ec216:53
jjohansensmoser, time for EC2 kernel status meeting17:00
smoserok.17:00
smoseri've not really got anything, other than, look up and i have kernels published everywhere17:00
smoseri guess we can talk here about  my versioning issues17:01
jjohansenyeah, just a sec17:01
jjohansenI asked rtg to join since he knows that stuff much better than me17:01
rtgjjohansen, dude17:02
jjohansenrtg smoser has a kernel versioning question17:02
jjohansenwe are doing the EC2 kernel status meeting17:02
rtgsmoser, yes?17:02
smoserok. so, we have 2 places that we want to provide kernel binaries and initramdisks17:03
smoseron amazon (the linux-ec2 flavour) and on uec-images (the linux-virtual flavour)17:03
smoserwhen i publish something to either of these places, i need a unique name for it.17:04
smoseri had intended to just use the version of linux-ec217:04
rtgsmoser, doesn't the ABI number make the binary package name unique?17:05
smoserbut it appears that that isn't enough.17:05
smoserthe abi number is "300" in 2.6.31.300.0 ?17:05
rtgsmoser, yes17:06
smoserso there will never be another linux-image-ec2 package with version 2.6.31.300.017:06
smosererr.. wait. with version: 2.6.31.300 ?17:06
rtgsmoser, correct. the ABI change will be 2.6.31.30117:07
rtgthe next*17:07
smosermaybe i'm just foggy on what abi change means.17:07
smoseri would not have thought that zul's last patch would cause an ABI change17:08
smoseryet, the kernel released was functionally different for me, and i much prever the newer one.17:08
rtgsmoser, its just an arbitrary number, but since its part of the package name, each time it changes you have a _new_ package name17:08
smosers/prever/prefer/17:08
jjohansenABI is compatability of kernel apis17:08
zulit would17:08
smoserit would ?17:08
rtgzul, the only difference was the console stuff.17:09
smoseryou're sure? i would have thought it didn't change any signatures or anything that would have caused abi differences17:09
zulrtg: ack17:09
rtgsmoser, so, the first release was 2.6.31.300.1, right?17:09
rtgthat one had console issues.17:09
smoserok.17:10
rtgthe next release (a version update only) has the console fix, 2.6.31-300.217:10
rtg(or maybe it was .3)17:10
smoser.317:10
rtghave to look at the changelog17:10
smoserbut no matter17:10
jjohansen.317:10
rtgok, so I don't understand your dilemma17:11
smoserhm... well, i gues here is where it started.17:11
smoseri wanted to only pay attention to 'linux-ec2'17:11
smoserbut that is apparently stuck at Version: 2.6.31.300.017:12
bobgsmoser: thanks for the info. Do you know of  a stable hardy kernel for xen?  Our hardy server in amazon works but on our own xen server with teh stock xen kernel, we get "stuck cpu" kernel crashes when we load up our application17:12
rtgsmoser, I think what you really want to depend on is linux-image-2.6.31-300-ec217:13
smoserbut then how do i come up with the fairly arbitrary string of "-300" ?17:13
bobgthe amazon kernel seems to be named after fedora 8 (fc8), but I could not get that kernel to work with ubuntu -- probably needs to have different kernel compile options17:13
rtgsmoser, uh, you just use it? perhaps you should be depending on the meta package instead.17:14
jjohansenbobg: yeah you can't boot ubuntu with a fc8 kernel17:14
bobgjjohansen: smoser, so is there a stable xen kernel for hardy?17:15
smoserbobg, i'm sorry, i will respond to your questions, just trying to not waste more of rtg's time17:16
jjohansenbobg: do you have problems with the one bundled with the hardy ami?17:16
smoserrtg, so it will never change ?17:16
smoser$ apt-cache show linux-ec2 | grep Version17:16
smoserVersion: 2.6.31.300.017:16
bobgsmoser: np, thanks for letting me know -- I will be around for a while17:16
rtgsmoser, when next I change the ABI in the ec2 kernel, then I will definitely update the meta package.17:16
smoserthe 'linux-image' that you suggest i should watch is "linux-image-2.6.31-300-ec2"17:17
smoserok.17:17
rtgsmoser, actually, I mispoke. you _should_ be using the meta package. what you are currently doing is correct.17:17
smoserso then in the future, the meta package would depend on 2.6.31.300.X where X was correct ?17:17
smoserright now linux-ec2 depends on17:18
smoserDepends: linux-image-ec2 (= 2.6.31.300.0)17:18
rtglinux-ec2 _is_ the meta package, and currently depends on linux-image-2.6.31-30017:18
bobgjjohansen: yes, when we run our app's batch loading process under xen+hardy it crashes with "stuck cpu".  hardy physical machine is fine and hardy in amazon (with the amazon propriatary kernel) is fine17:18
rtgin the future it will depend on linux-image-2.6.31-301-ec217:18
rtg(or whatever the package name is with the new ABI)17:19
smoserand there will only ever be released one package of linux-image-2.6.31-301-ec2 ?17:19
smoserso i guess the 2 things i'm confused on17:19
rtgsmoser, there could be multiple versions of that package, as there are already.17:19
smosera.) linux-ec2 currently has a differently formated version than other meta packages (2.6.31.300.0 rather than -300.0)17:20
rtgnote that changing the ABI creates a new package name, _not_ a new version17:20
smoserok. thats what i thought.17:20
smoserso i need to pay attention to the version of the linux-image-ec217:20
rtgsmoser, yeah, an updated version likely indicates a new ABI (but not always)17:21
smoseri think thats what i needed.17:21
rtgsmoser, I take it that you're trying to trigger a new AMI build when the kernel changes.17:22
smosermy goal is to have something "watch" the archives. and each time a new build for ec2 arrives automatically publishes it and names it uniquely17:22
rtgsmoser, right. I think kirkland could be of great assistance in the endeavor.17:23
smoserrtg, then i'll bother him and stop bothering you17:23
smosersorry for all this17:23
smoseri really was just underprepared for asking17:23
rtgsmoser, np, I learned it the hard way myself17:23
smoserso future releases of linux-ec2 will be versioned with '-XYZ.M' rather than '.XYZ.M' right ?17:24
smoserthat was just a temporary inconsistency ?17:24
rtgsmoser, nope, it is what it is. the next meta package version will be (for example) linux-image-ec2_2.6.31.301.4 (I think). Note that everything _after_ THE UNDERBAR IS PART OF THE VERSION, NOT PART OF THE NAME.17:26
rtgopps17:26
rtgcaps lock crept in there.17:26
smoserok. why the difference ? was that intended ?17:26
smoserbobg, jjohansen is definitely a much better resource than i for such questions.  In his (and everyone's) experience ec2 is a magical place where not everything is as it seems.17:27
rtgsmoser, likely inadvertent17:27
smoserrtg, ok. i think i have all i need. and will bother kirkland for some insight as you suggested17:28
jjohansenbobg: I will need to look at it, do you have a bug filed already?17:28
smoserbobg, what is "xen+hardy" ? what version of xen dom0, what guest kernel ?17:28
unimatrixwhat would be the best way to limit bandwidth to certain clients on a ubuntu linux router?17:29
bobgjjohansen: no, but I saw "stuck cpu" bugs against hardy and assumed it was related. In the xen channel people considered the 2.6.24-xen kernel that hardy uses to be 'buggy' wrt xen17:30
smoserrtg, ok. one last query:17:30
smoserhttp://uec-images.ubuntu.com/karmic/20090929/ubuntu-uec-karmic-amd64.manifest17:30
smosershows that:17:31

smoser  linux-image-ec2 2.6.31.300.017:31
jjohansenbobg: okay, I was actually unaware of that, I haven't actually done anything with the hardy kernel yet17:31
jjohansenbobg: I will go have a look at it17:32
rtgsmoser, ok, looks right17:32
biczdola how to see the people connected on vsftpd?17:32
bobgI have relunctantly  moved away from the LTS on to jaunty for production VMs -- I just noticed smoser talking about ec2 ubuntu kernels and thought maybe he would just know of a better xen kernel for hardy17:32
bobgjjohansen:17:32
smoserrtg, ok. i'l stop bothering you for now17:34
smoseri promise this time17:34
smoseri guess mailin i was confused because version of linux-ec2 and version of linux-image-ec2 != version of linux-image-2.6.31-300-ec217:35
jjohansenbobg: well we don't have any other kernels for hardy but obviously there are some bugs there that I need to  look into17:35
smoserbut i think the answer is that they're not necissarily linked17:35
bobgjjohansen: don't feel like you have to do anything on this since we have found a solution in jaunty -- I figure the next LTS will be out next year and we will move to that17:36
rtgsmoser, yes, you have to be careful to distinguish the package name from the version. the meta package stuff can be really confusing until you grok the difference17:36

garnold_hello, has anyone successfully scripted the install of sun-java6-jdk21:33
dendrobatesGuest77038: you cannot change your kernel on the rackspacecloud, at this time.21:33
garnold_is there anyway to auto-accept the license when running in non-interactive mode?21:34

ahei'm writing a web ui in python which backups certain directories of a server with tar22:09
ahei don't want the web ui to run as root for obvious reasons but at least for restoring the backups and sometimes even for creating the backups i need super user privileges22:10
aheis there some kind of a best practice for my scenario?22:10
ahei also want my python code to stay flexible so that i can still pass a list of files to backup to a backup function and not have this list hard coded somewhere22:13
ahei think about writing a setuid c program for backup and one for restore that accept a list of directories/files to backup/restore22:14
aheto make this secure they could check from a file only writable by root if those directories/files are allowed and otherwise terminate22:15
