[03:38] Doorman352: isn't that a Windows thing? [03:38] !anybody [03:38] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:40] Kaspersky is for everyone, since Im adding Ubuntu servers I wanted to know if anyone has used it on linux. [03:41] New bug: #484594 in mysql-dfsg-5.0 (main) "mysql not woking" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/484594 [03:42] Since I don't have any Windows desktops, I don't bother with virus scanning. [03:42] See also: http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/index.php?page=virus [03:44] I have seen widespread use of clamav for when you are providing, say, a Unix fileserver to a bunch of Windows desktops. [03:45] For security of the server itself, you want to look at "intrusion detection" systems, rather than virus scanners. [03:46] Kaspersky runs on windows, Linux, etc so I figured I use it. [03:59] Hi everyone! [04:11] virtual machine not booting from cdrom / iso .. [04:11] anyone can help me ? [04:13] the console came up .. but didnt booting the cdrom / iso [04:13] ejat: what virtualization technology? [04:13] kvm [04:14] Don't you just pass -boot d ? [04:14] im using the virtual machine manager [04:14] I'm not familiar with virt-manager, sorry [04:15] AFAIK the backend needs you to specify what to boot from BEFORE starting the VM [04:15] And it defaults to the hard disks [04:21] ic [04:22] I'm struggling to find the .torrent file for Ubuntu Server (amd64, iso) [04:25] Aha! Found it. [04:25] Completely not where it should have been though. [04:26] So I was reading about UncomplicatedFirewall and got a bit confused about this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/321252 [04:31] you guys know which page is correct, or if I got it wrong? === specialK1vin is now known as specialKevin [04:54] Bo7: I can't answer your question, but I can teach you how to find out [04:54] Bo7: first, put your ufw config back to however you found it. [04:54] Bo7: then, run "iptables-save" and pastebin the output [05:06] can someone help me out with mx records? [05:09] yes billybigrigger [05:09] !ask | billybigrigger [05:09] billybigrigger: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:10] ok, last time i setup my mailserver all the mail was to thefrozencanuck.ca, and this was my MX record [05:10] twb, oh the firewall works allright for me, I was just curious about what the default state of ufw was, the documentation says different things. [05:10] now i want to be able to setup my mail clients to point to mail.thefrozencanuck.ca, and not the "sally" i had setup as a hostname [05:10] so you are looking for [05:11] so do i create a new AHOST for mail.thefrozencanuck.ca [05:11] and then just make my MX record for mail.thefrozencanuck.ca? [05:12] you create an A record for the mail.thefrozencanuk.co and the MX record changes to mail.thefrozencanuck.ca [05:12] right on [05:13] mail.thefrozencanuk.ca A ip.addy [05:13] heh [05:13] mail.thefrozencanuk.ca. [05:14] thefrozencanuk.ca. IN MX 10 mail.thefrozencanuk.ca [05:14] replace 10 with whatever priority system you want to use [05:16] i keep forgettting to type the trailing . [05:17] ok, now how do i confirm this is all setup? [05:17] i need to use the dig command or something here? [05:19] billybigrigger give it like 10 minutes and then check www.nwtools.com [05:19] billybigrigger or http://www.mxtoolbox.com/ [05:20] billybigrigger you can also use "host -t MX thefrozencanuck.ca [05:21] billybigrigger@cabo:/etc/default$ host -t MX thefrozencanuck.ca [05:21] thefrozencanuck.ca mail is handled by 10 mail.thefrozencanuck.ca. [05:21] :) [05:22] :PPPP [05:23] billybigrigger im just saying that you should also set an A record for just plain old thefrozencanuck.ca [05:23] i have one [05:23] Host Points To TTL Actions [05:23] @ 68.146.139.247 1/2 Hour [05:24] @ = thefrozencanuck.ca [05:24] quick poll, what do you prefer Maildir or mbox? [05:25] i have always setup Maildir, not too familiar with mbox, and was going to try it on this setup [05:25] should i try out mbox or stick with Maildir? [05:29] bogeyd6, ? [05:37] billybigrigger i have no preference [05:37] ive had a few scotches so im in and out [05:38] of conciousness? [05:38] !dovecot | billybigrigger [05:38] billybigrigger: IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol [05:38] yeah i have postfix and dovecot installed [05:38] but obviously not configured [05:38] i prefer using ZCS personally, i dont use dovecot, but dovecot is the official maildir package in ubuntu server [05:39] jesus i hate evolution [05:39] oh im watching Lock n Load with r leee ermey :) [05:39] lock n load [05:39] don't think i've seen it [05:39] if you like military stuff it is highly recommended [05:39] oh yeah [05:39] who's in it? [05:40] r lee ermey [05:40] what year did it come out? 1990?

[05:45] oh [05:45] duh, haha have not setup apache yet [05:46] :P [05:46] i have a full complete server setup, mail/ftp/web/mysql all that jazz already [05:46] but its on a 40GB virtual hard disk [05:46] time to put some work in [05:46] so i decided i'd start fresh and do it on a dynamic hdd [05:47] im bored and have nothing to do for a few days :) so i don't mind starting over [05:47] i prefer to use VMware to run any server [05:47] whats the difference between vmware or vbox? [05:47] hosted on a san [05:47] thought they were both pretty much the same [05:47] stability and compatibility. vmware being the superior, vbox being simpler [05:48] billybigrigger: a few letters [05:49] Ubuntu recommends KVM for full virtualization. [05:49] !kvm | billybigrigger [05:49] billybigrigger: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [05:49] Thaks. [05:49] :) [05:49] (Gah! More coffee!) [05:50] i still like vmware [05:50] I have had countless bad experiences with VMware, and VMware 2's move of putting everything inside tomcat didn't impress me favourably. [05:51] I daresay VMware is more attractive if you're running Windows guests in a Windows host. [05:54] Likewise I suspect both VMware and Virtualbox are more attractive if you're wanting to run virtual machines on your overspecced laptop (rather than on a server in the rack), and you want AIGLX and USB and such to work. [05:54] hmm hmm [05:55] can't connect to mail.thefrozencanuck.ca [05:55] As for me, qemu's features like -kernel/-initrd/-append and its raster-less tty emulation (i.e. -curses or PTYs) are killer features. [05:55] in either thunderbird or evo... [05:55] billybigrigger: you should try netcat/socat first, since that'll tell you if there's anything there at all. [05:55] nmap shows 143 and 993 are open, and router is routing 143 and 993 to 192.168.1.111 which is correct....

[10:59] odd, I didn't need to restart my server after apt-get upgrade [10:59] is that normal? [11:00] Ruben: I have installed Dhcp, tftp, Nfs, apache on server side, and copied linux kernel and initrd in tftpboot. Client can boot from lan to choose install menu. But client is not able to install Ubuntu desktop from lan [11:02] <_ruben> tangentcollision: yes, as only kernel upgrades require reboots generally [11:02] in client side, it always yield that can't find mirro [11:02] _ruben: would it make any difference that the network allready has a main server [11:02] <_ruben> eason: (where) do you specify the mirror? [11:03] How can I configure to use my web server as mirro? [11:04] <_ruben> by selecting it during the installation process? [11:04] <_ruben> bbiab .. lunchtime [11:05] Can I set it in preseed file as I hope it can be installed automatically? [11:24] hello [11:25] I have an odd problem, but i am sure you have heard this before, I have had my server attached all this week, I have ubuntu-server 9.10 [11:25] attacked.. oops [11:25] I am not sure how there doing, it besides the box shutting down, or totally locking up [11:26] reading on google, i get the idea that its the ftp server their going after. [11:26] X-Seti: So, the attack was successful? [11:26] yeah, 3 times now, same time every day [11:26] i only noticed this today [11:27] What ftp server are you using? [11:27] proftpd [11:27] Is it anonymous? [11:27] no, just normal user and passworded accounts [11:27] i took off anon stuff [11:28] Are they doing a dictionary attack? (guessing passwords) [11:28] If not, it must be a vulnerability. Also, ftp passwords are easy to sniff. [11:28] not sure, i have bounce attacked in the logs, and what ever server is running, like they scanned anything that is running and tried their luck [11:29] well i cant really shut down the ftp server, change the passwords, they came onto the ircd i have running on there, and tried to send me a file too, which suggested that ftp wasnt all that successful [11:30] Automated attacks are normal. (This pc is currently under attack (ssh). The cracker tries to guess the password for 'root') [11:31] killing the server is a first, crashing it and making it usless till i reboot is another [11:31] That's weird, yes. [11:32] i use modified hardware, i wanted to go the eco way, the box itself uses 70watt, total [11:32] Im must admit that I'm not familiar with proftpd. [11:32] atom? [11:32] <_ruben> eason: yeah, mirror can be preseeded just fine [11:33] old modded laptop with everything removed, even the screen [11:33] i took the motherboard out and put it in a desktop case. [11:34] i removed everything that used power, added more usb ports for the back of the case, and its but fine for 6 years now [11:34] till now [11:34] X-Seti: Now, that is a cool idea :-) [11:34] saved me alot of money hosting sites [11:34] ruben: could you tell what is directory structure of mirror server? [11:35] i noticed that ubuntu 9.10 is heavier, 8.04 wasnt so resource depanding.. [11:35] <_ruben> eason: you shouldnt have to worry about that, assuming you're using a "supported" method of creating a local mirror, im using debmirror myself currently, but i might just switch to a full rsync someday [11:35] as installer always yield can't find mirror, maybe some thing wrong in my mirror server [11:36] <_ruben> eason: check your access logs to see what its failing on [11:36] I just copied Ubuntu desktop cd into web directory [11:36] X-Seti: My slowest machine currently running karmic server is an atom. No speed problems, except when you use Qemu (no VT, so that's entirely normal) [11:37] But back to your crashes. I have no idea. Did you check /var/log/auth.log [11:37] i run 2 apache servers, tomcat, ircd (custom unrealircd), proftpd, sshd, gother and thats it [11:37] i never got email to work [11:38] but then, when i had email running on my older server (Amiga4000t) all i got was spam) [11:38] That's not only ftp. Do you know how they got in? [11:39] not sure, i could install firestarter [11:39] !firestarter [11:39] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [11:39] if these unknowns happen, does ubuntu log them anywhere [11:39] <_ruben> eason: ah, that probably wouldnt work indeed, not sure how/if a cd can be turned into a webmirror [11:39] Hmm, that's a gui application. No need to install X. The damage is already done, so I would check existing logs [11:40] Yes, /var/log/auth.log is for security [11:40] i do have gnome running on there, i was working on porting an old amiga app to ubunut [11:40] lets have a look at that [11:42] holly hell [11:42] i have a dir full of stuff [11:44] Your log dir? Or do you mean a rather large auth.log? [11:44] the log dir is packed, but i am looking at auth.log now [11:46] same ip has been hammering root for days [11:46] none stop, even now [11:48] Ruben: could you show me the directory structure of your mirror?

I'll look it up. If I'm not mistaken, there is a script for ssh to do stuff like that automatically. [11:49] lol, maybe the log file crashed your server? :-) Is the disk full? [11:49] checking [11:50] now i have a 1tb drive on there [11:50] it would be hard to full that :) [11:51] from what i can see, that got password the router firewall [11:51] there port scanning everything beyond that, hitting the server i had and this comp [11:52] A short search tells me to use /etc/hosts.deny if you want to manually block ip ranges [11:52] looking at all the ip addresses, thats alot of blocking [11:52] In my experience, a default ubuntu (without firewall) doesn't crash under those circumstances.

[12:25] no problem [12:25] thank you [12:25] i figured our my problem :) [12:25] dei did you have to use the hostname tool at your registrar? [12:25] i made a dumb mistake on my firewall... [12:26] and that was blocking everything [12:26] i just did not suspect such a simple change to cause this problem :) [12:26] kk [12:26] thats why i prefer firewall appliances [12:29] when just making any change to svr just after sudo [12:29] Ruben: thank you very much, I found it [12:35] I need help, I have setup LAMP for Ubuntu 9.10 setup 2 vitalhosting by name and when going to one of the domain it does not give me any thing? in the /etc/hosts file I have "000.000.000.000 hostname-server.abc.org hostname-server" where 000.000.000.000 is the real IP address [12:36] spirits-sight: you mean VirtualHost? [12:36] yes :-) epinky [12:37] spirits-sight:000.000.000.000 is another machine? [12:38] I am using linode and it says to put the public IP address where the 000.000.000.000 is [12:39] epinky: this is the line above that one 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost [12:40] spirits-sight: 000.000.000.000 is another machine? [12:41] I don't think so, its the linode that was assigned it linode.com [12:42] spirits-sight: /etc/nsswitch.conf checked? [12:44] one sec [12:46] epinky: what should I be looking for, I don't see any thing in there that says domain [12:46] hosts: files dns [12:46] networks: files [12:47] files dns means check hosts first, if not found ther go to dns, it's ok then ... [12:47] OK so I understood that then :-) [12:50] when I go to the domain.org in brower it says "Oops! This link appears to be broken." [12:52] spirits-sight: try using nslookup with some external server, to check resolution [12:53] spirits-sight: I mean resolution of your server :) [12:53] so in my destop term do mslookup domain.org [12:54] it gave good respone it gave the ip address, so how do I know its from the server [12:55] i think it should be equal to 000.000.000.000.000 [12:56] Server: 192.168.1.1 [12:56] Address: 192.168.1.1#53 [12:56] Non-authoritative answer: [12:56] Name: domain.org [12:56] Address: 00.000.000.000 [12:56] sorry for the mulite lines [12:58] spirits-sight: use pastebin , do you have a DNS server local?, i'd like to check Authorative-Answer [12:58] no its hosted with linode.com [12:59] I am using godaddy which point to the linode nameserver and then doing DNS control with linode [13:00] spirits-sight: can you reach the server using IP? [13:01] hi there. I am running Ubuntu8.10 32bit on an "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+", which is a K8 64bit processor. should i upgrade to a 64bit linux distro? will I pull all of my hair off for this? [13:03] epinky: ok when I use nslookup ip address it give me ip.in-addr.arpa name = xxxxx-xxx.members.linode.com the ip address is backwards and where xxxxx-xxx is the linode marker I think [13:05] spirits-sight: ok, can you reach the server using IP(public)? [13:07] ok, when using just IP address it gives me oops again, but I also am not telling it any vitiualhost site, how do I pass that along with the ip address of it know which one [13:10] that public IP address is already configured on your VPS, right? [13:10] I believe so [13:12] spirits-sight: can you ping that ip? [13:12] Yes [13:13] spirits-sight: to administer your VPS you use SSH? [13:17] correct [13:18] spirits-sight: you've installed LAMP on your VPS or are you using DNS Manager to redirect to some local server? [13:19] I have installed LAMP on the VPS using this guide http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/ubuntu-9.10-karmic/ [13:20] I skipped over the area that says Configure for IP-based Virtual Hosting [13:22] ok, on your SSH session to VPS, check if apache2 is up with netstat [13:23] Hi all. I'm newbie in cloud computing. I've configured mico-cloud using eucalyptus and running two instances in it. I would like to know how one can install some packages in running instance *persistently* so that I can use that package upon reboot. Any help ? [13:25] epinky: OK I don't see the service apache2 there how ever I have a number of time say to reload it it say it did, is this different? [13:25] spirits-sight: reload is different from restart [13:25] I have done restart also but will do again [13:26] spirits-sight: netstat has to indicate that port 80 is LISTENING [13:26] /etc/init.d/apache2 restart is what I have run one sec see if see port 80 is LISTENING [13:27] ok I don't see that either, that strange [13:27] spirits-sight: then check on your logs, there could be some error [13:28] ok I did a restart and still not see any thing [13:28] spirits-sight: check your logs [13:28] ok under etc/logs right [13:28] spirits-sight: /var/log/... [13:29] yep yep :-( forgot type var not etc [13:30] when ever i try to do any restarting of say samba i get unable to resolve host "name of server" [13:30] which log apache2 has nothing in it [13:30] epinky: ^^ [13:31] spirits-sight: error.log and access.log I guess [13:32] epinky: in error.log it says unable to open log three times [13:33] epinky: in access.log there is nothing [13:33] spirits-sight: "unable to open" or "unable to open log"? [13:34] spirits-sight: use "more" [13:34] it says "Unable to open logs" I am using nano to open them [13:34] hi can any one help with this? [13:35] spirits-sight: use "more" [13:35] epinky: also other_vhosts_access.log has nothing in it [13:36] when ever i try restart samba i get unable to resolve host "name of server" [13:36] epinky: http://pastebin.com/d7b08e3c1 [13:37]
