[01:15] what's the shortest routr in order to manage user accounts centrally in a server in a lan ? [01:21] chomwitt_: besides active directory? [01:22] chomwitt_: you can use ldap [01:25] russlar: is there a tutorial? [01:25] chomwitt_: there's google [01:25] russlar: for ldpa [01:25] !ldap [01:25] LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information, installation instructions and getting clients to authenticate via LDAP see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [01:26] ok thanks!

I'm #ubuntu-server's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [01:55] zul: right - may be related to NM [01:55] zul: may be if the network interface is down [01:55] yeah it might [01:55] zul: however mysql is supposed to bind to lo [01:56] it might be upstart as well [01:56] zul: and loopback is not supposed to be handle by NM [02:01] does ubuntu have somethign similar to kickstart? [02:06] stimble: yes - there is a kickstart implementation for ubuntu - kickseed [02:07] stimble: otherwise there is the preseed option [02:07] stimble: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/index.html [02:14] cool, thx mathiaz [03:21] when i load my site with apache2.. it wont display my images... any ideas?

[03:50] arrrghhh, yes [03:50] in a vm [03:50] with data mounted through sshfs [06:23] if i want to install karmic server, is there any benefit in downloading a dvd rather than a cd? [06:32] StrangeCharm: Only if you will be installing it away from a fast Internet connection and will need packages that are on the DVD but not on the CD. [06:45] jmarsden, so the server version can be installed from the generic dvd? [06:46] No, you'd want a server DVD for that -- different kernel [06:48] jmarsden, do you know where the server rc dvd is on the site? i'm having some trouble finding it in the directory structure. [06:49] I don't even know if there is one... your question implied there was... let me look. I use the CD iso images for server installs myself. [06:50] jmarsden, i just don't own writable cds: only dvds. i figure that, it i'm going to use a dvd disk, i might as well give it 4.5gb of content [06:50] Seems pointless downloading extra stuff you won't need to use :) I don't see a server DVD image out there... [06:51] BTW for stuff like this a few CD-RWs or DVD-RWs are nice to use, because you can re-use them when the rc is no longer useful... i.e. in a few days when the real thing comes out :) [06:51] i would conversely suggest that, since bits are cheap, and disks are noncheap, i maximise efficiency with a dvd image [06:52] sadly, i am not the one who controls which disks i have available, which does end up with a bunch of old leftovers, and some waste [06:59] StrangeCharm: OK. My time waiting for downloading and burning an extra 4 GB is probably worth more to me than the few cents a DVD-R costs (what are they, US$0.17 each or so?); but I recently grabbed a pack of 10 DVD-RWs just for stuff like this so even those few cents don't get spent now :) And for testing, you can avoid optical media completely and download to hard disk and then run a test install in a virtual mac [06:59] hine (using KVM or VirtualBox or whatever you prefer)... no optical media needed, very ecologically sound :) :) === freeflyi1g is now known as freeflying === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond === lionel_ is now known as lionel [10:21] Hi. Which FTP do You recommend to install? [14:10] can any body help me get postfix working? [15:46] I need help with postfix please. I'm trying to use SASL authentication, I'm getting a bunch of errors in my log file....posting a snippiti.... [15:49] http://pastebin.com/f68822 [15:50] postfix configuration: http://pastebin.com/f687e7ef4 [15:51] I'm trying to use postfix (with dovecot later for that) and mysql user database. SASL authentication to stop open relay. [15:51] I can send meail if I use telnet though. [15:51] email [16:05] skuld, while I am unable to directly help, I suggest you checkout this channel: #postfix [16:07] and generally, for bolting large things (like sasl and sql databases) onto postfix, getting it to work with postfix not-chrooted is the first step [16:25] lamont: and AFAIK postfix is protected by AppArmor in Ubuntu, so a chroot is less important? === russlar is now known as russlar_ === russlar_ is now known as russlar [16:51] JanC: apparmor is a nice security blanket. so is a chroot. === crohakon|zZz is now known as crohakon === AdamDV is now known as AdamDV|Away === ogra__ is now known as ogra [17:18] Not sure if I should talk about Karmic here, but as anyone else had trouble getting Grub 2 to install on a RAID setup? [17:18] It won't do it at all. [17:18] Kind of stumped. [17:21] what sort of RAID? === AdamDV|Away is now known as AdamDV [17:22] Well, in the past I had 4 HDDs partitioned into two. I would mirror the first partitions and then RAID 5 the last ones... Then make the RAID 1 /boot and the RAID 5 LVM and / [17:22] That would work fine in 9.04. [17:22] Not so much now. [17:22] Then I thought I would try just 1 RAID 5 array... [17:22] No luck either. [17:23] /boot on RAID 1 should work, as long as GRUB2 is installed on the right disk (or on all the disks) [17:24] JanC: Can I hope the the installer will does this by default? [17:24] no idea [17:25] Ha. [17:25] Well, I just ask because everything just seemed to work on 9.04, but can't get it figured out on 9.10. Haha. I can always go back, but I like newer things. [17:25] * Noah0504 sighs. [17:27] Noah0504: might be useful to check it instals on the right disk and/or manually install grub on all the disks [17:28] it's not impossible that the drives are enumerated in a different order when booting from CD (or the network, or whatever) [17:29] Hmm... [17:29] also, GRUB2 should allow you to boot anyway, it has a much more extensive shell environment than GRUB1 [17:30] Well, it tells me the installation fails in general. [17:30] So, I don't know if it is making it that far. [17:30] if installation fails, that's something entirely different ;) [17:31] Haha. [17:31] http://grub.enbug.org/FrontPage has most of the information about GRUB2 [17:32] Yeah, it's always frustrating trying to get over a new problem. I just set up my partitions again... with the flags all set... I'm going to give it one more shot! [17:32] :P [17:32] If I can't figure it out now, I will just go back to 9.04 for the time being until I can mess around with it some more in a test environment. Maybe that's part of my lesson learned. [17:32] :) [17:57] I've installed ubuntu hardy server and dhcpserver and arno-iptables-firewall. The clients get ip-addresse and can log on to nx on the server. But they can't connect to the internet. The server connects to the internet via eth0, gives away ip-addresses on eth1. Can anyone give me a hint? [18:00] can anyone help me getting my client on the internet? I get ip from the server, the server connects to the internet with eth0 [18:01] my server is ubuntu hardy [18:22] hmm.. are you all busy or am I alone in here? Is it too early maybe? Should I be back in some hours? [18:23] can anyone explain to me what this message in syslog means: Connection attempt (PRIV): IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=89.11.135.7 DST=89.11.135.255 [18:38] JanC: Still there? [18:39] Noah0504: sometimes ;) [18:40] So, I am still having problems. The installer will not install GRUB on /dev/md0, which is my RAID1. [18:40] And when just trying to install it on sda2 (the actual partition), it fails as well. [18:50] Does anybody in here have experiance with Postfix? [18:53] can anyone help me getting my clients on the internet? The server (ubuntu hardy) is set up as a dhcp-server and gives out ip on eth1. It connects to the internet on eth0. [18:53] Bah! I finally got it. [18:54] Or show me a howto - I've been googling some time now, ,and can't figure out what I am doing wrong. The client can't ping anything else than the server [19:00] embrik: is the dhcp server giving the gateway? [19:06] blue-frog, I'm not sure. I haven't anything about the gateway in dhcpd.conf. How should it give away the gateway? [19:09] embrik: option routers [19:10] blue-frog, option routers 192.168.1.1 [19:10] if it is your gateway to the world yes. Missing ; at the en dthough... [19:12] blue-frog, but what is my gateway? eth0 (the dhcp-nic LAN is 192.168.1.5) Eth0 to the internet gets ip from my ISP [19:12] sorry first eth1 and then eth0 [19:12] eth1 is 192.168.1.5 [19:13] embrik: on your server netstat -rn [19:15] embrik: in your config i wouls say 1.5 is the gateway [19:16] blue-frog, how can I show you output from netstat -rn? [19:16] pastebin.com [19:17] blue-frog, http://pastebin.com/d7ec0f1a5 [19:17] blue-frog [19:19] option routers 192.168.1.5; restart dhcpd and try [19:20] blue-frog, ok [19:24] blue-frog, error when I try to restart dhcp-server. Here-s output fron netstat on client: http://pastebin.com/m74a1c51a [19:24] <|preTnLvr4f|> is there a way I can see what services are running (I just rebooted my server and want some confirmations) [19:25] pretn ps -ef [21:31] embrik: still fighting with dhcp? [21:53] some application is writing to my resol.conf. could it be networmamager? [21:56] is it safe to remove networkmanager on my ubuntu server. I have set up my nics in network/inerfaces [21:59] embrik: from a client can you ping your server eth0? [21:59] blue-frog, yes [21:59] ok can you ping from a client 4.2.2.2 [22:00] blue-frog, Well, yes - There is a problem in resolv.conf I think. New lines are added without me doing it [22:01] blue-frog, but yes I can ping external ip from the client - but not hostnames [22:01] embrik: so when you were saying you can't ping anything on the internet you were trying to say you were not resolving anything in fact [22:02] should you have started with that it would have speed up the processe... [22:02] blue-frog, no, when I said that I couldn't ping anything I couldn't [22:02] ok [22:02] what's the resolv.conf of your client? [22:03] it has got the wrong (old) ip adresses for the dns. I don't know why. Whenj I fill in the rioght ones everything works for a while [22:04] dhcpd.conf option domain-name-servers [22:04] ok [22:05] the line domain-name-servers is commented out [22:06] should that refer to the dns server fro my isp? [22:06] you have another dns server? [22:06] no [22:06] so? [22:08] blue-frog, there are two addresses. Can I write them like this? option domain-name-servers 217.13.4.21 217.13.7.136; [22:10] 217.13.4.21, 217.13.7.136; [22:10] ok [22:10] one dns is enough anyway [22:12] ok, what about ntp-servers and netbios-name-servers and netbios-node-type? Shal I just ignore them? I don't know what they do. [22:16] blue-frog, thanks a lot. I know how it is to give support to someone who doesn't understand more than half of it. I do it everyday at work. I really appreciate it. === wildgoosed is now known as cyris|
