[01:17] <qman__> I know it isn't possible to set a console to a widescreen resolution, but is it possible to set a console font to something that's really tall and thin, so that it works well on a widescreen monitor?
[01:24] <mangos> hey guys, i'm trying to install the latest version varnish but 8.04 LTS only has really old packages, anyone know a way to backport karmic packages or another way?
[01:25] <|Mike|> pin is the solution !
[01:26] <mangos> huh?
[01:27] <|Mike|> hun doesn't sound like an question nor an answere.
[01:29] <mangos> what is pin?
[01:30] <|Mike|> *sigh*
[01:30] <|Mike|> you can pin packages in ubuntu
[01:34] <mangos> ok i read the wiki
[01:34] <mangos> backport packages
[01:34] <mangos> there isnt any for varnish
[01:46] <zroysch> whats the best way to backup a failing raid5 md partition and compress it at the same time? i'm getting a mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md2, error when i try mounting it. i have to fit about 1.1tb in 920gb
[01:52] <dassouki> I was wondering, what would you guys recommend for a noob server guy who wants to setup his own email server, calendar, and some form of opendirectory to host all my work related files on
[01:54] <qman__> dassouki, for email, I suggest postfix+dovecot
[01:54] <qman__> no suggestions for the other things
[01:55] <dassouki> qman__: thanks :D
[03:27] <dassouki> anyone here using ispconfig ?
[04:11] <swift> hi guys,
[04:11] <swift> ive got nagios installed on my ubuntu-server
[04:11] <swift> i got a socket timeout on my webmail service
[04:11] <swift> any body can advise me a solution?
[04:11] <swift> and how i can troubleshoot this?
[04:11] <swift> coz the webmail url is accessible
[04:12] <swift> the check is check_http
[04:13] <swift> guys, what's the function of check_http in nagios?
[04:29] <stiv2k> hi, i have had a PCI ethernet card connected to my server for years now, and I have just removed it and switched over to the onboard NIC (e100).  The computer still recognizes the onboard one as eth1 and now eth0 has no device for it.  How do I make it back the way it should be?
[04:38] <axisys> i am looking for a wiki on how to make a ubuntu server secure .. only ssh on and some internal hardening .. and detection of ddos as much possible and drop it to deny .. all details.. i dont want to go with openbsd
[04:41] <qman__> axisys, ubuntu is secure by default, there's only a few minor tweaks I usually perform
[04:41] <axisys> any suggestion on where to start would be appreciated
[04:41] <qman__> such as removing shells from all the builtin users
[04:42] <qman__> regarding ddos attacks, look into the iptables recent module, and fail2ban
[04:42] <axisys> qman__: i want to built few server as jumpstations.. they will be used with ssh + rsa two factor securid auth ..
[04:43] <axisys> and users will need to access them to access company network
[04:43] <axisys> qman__: ufw ssh limited  .. cool
[04:43] <qman__> don't know about ufw, I never use it myself
[04:43] <axisys> qman__: then i wont need fail2ban .. correct
[04:43] <qman__> I write my firewalls in iptables
[04:44] <axisys> qman__: gotcha..
[04:44] <qman__> but yeah, fail2ban and the firewall approach the same problem in different ways
[04:44] <axisys> qman__: so for my case i will need shell.. anything else you can suggest..
[04:44] <qman__> the firewall will slow down ddos attackers, while fail2ban will ban failed logins
[04:44] <axisys> qman__: correct
[04:44] <qman__> find a guide on configuring SSH in general
[04:45] <qman__> it's pretty much the same as any other unixy system running openssh server
[04:45] <axisys> qman__: ih yeah.. ssh also has some parameters to slow down the attacks
[04:45] <axisys> qman__: true
[04:45] <axisys> qman__: but how about some internal config change ..?
[04:45] <qman__> what for?
[04:45] <axisys> qman__: what users can do and cannot.. wonder if i should drop every users in their own jailed env
[04:46] <qman__> SSH supports chrooting right in the main configuration now
[04:46] <qman__> so you can lock users down to their home directories easily
[04:46] <axisys> qman__: since i will need valid shell.. users will access company backbone network elements only accessible from these boxes
[04:47] <axisys> qman__: i did not know that .. cool!
[04:47] <qman__> that's not on by default, but it's fairly simple to configure
[04:47] <axisys> qman__: yes.. i am pretty comfortable w/ sshd configs..
[04:48] <axisys> qman__: thanks for the chroot suggestion thru ssh
[04:49] <axisys> qman__: how does ubuntu compare w/ openbsd or solaris or freebsd btw as far as security and stability.. ?
[04:49] <qman__> well, I haven't seen any robust comparison testing done, but ubuntu is a secure by default setup
[04:50] <qman__> there are no extraneous services running, and all the 'tasks' have reasonably secure defaults
[04:50] <axisys> qman__: ok
[04:50] <qman__> SSH allows password auth by default, you may want to disable that
[04:50] <qman__> and some builtin users have shells defined, though they're not able to log in
[04:51] <qman__> but all very minor things
[04:51] <qman__> ubuntu disables root by default
[04:51] <qman__> and uses sudo instead
[04:51] <axisys> qman__: that last one is my favorite
[04:51] <axisys> root disable by default
[04:52] <qman__> yeah, I set that up whenever I use BSD or other systems
[04:53] <axisys> we use rsa securid auth .. so root cannot login .. but i need to disable passwd auth .. or ssh will allow root to use local
[04:53] <axisys> like you suggested
[04:53] <qman__> the default dovecot config allows non-SSL connections too, but that's a very simple configuration change
[04:53] <qman__> only relevant if you want a mail server
[04:53] <qman__> well
[04:54] <axisys> qman__: hmm.. another server will be also ubuntu server and mail server
[04:54] <qman__> password auth is enabled, and permitrootlogin is yes, but root doesn't have a password, and as such can't log in
[04:54] <axisys> qman__: so postfix + dovecot probly
[04:54] <axisys> qman__: right
[04:54] <qman__> yeah, postfix + dovecot is the typical setup for ubuntu, that's what the built in mail server task uses
[04:55] <axisys> qman__: so tasksel has a option to setup mail server?
[04:55] <qman__> they have pretty good defaults, other than dovecot allowing non-ssl connections
[04:55] <qman__> even the SSL crypto is limited to SSLv3 methods
[04:55] <qman__> yes
[04:55] <axisys> i see tasksel has mailserver
[04:56] <axisys> qman__: does it use hardware crypto accelorator card if available?
[04:56] <qman__> not sure about that, I know you can, but I don't know if it requires additional configuration
[04:56] <axisys> qman__: ok
[04:56] <Overand> Does ubuntu-server 10.04 default to running X (or perhaps if certain things are chosen in tasksel/the package screen?)
[04:57] <qman__> Overand, no, ubuntu server does not have a GUI
[04:57] <axisys> qman__: btw.. would be nice if there is a wiki that compile all these suggestion you have here
[04:57] <Overand> qman__: 10.04 does use a graphical GRUB menu though, right?
[04:57] <Overand> This machine for some reason is sticking thge monitor into an unusable frequency apparently more or less immediately after GRUB starts
[04:57] <johnf> with the push to make puppet an integrated part of lucid, anyone know why facter is quite a few versions old?
[04:58] <qman__> Overand, not sure what you mean by that, I don't know a lot about grub2 myself
[04:58] <Overand> qman__: Well, I just did a fresh install - and all I get is my monitor complaining about being run at 85 hz, heh
[04:58] <qman__> axisys, yeah, a conglomeration of security tips would be a good idea
[04:58] <axisys> qman__: yep
[04:58] <axisys> johnf: puppet will be integrated w/ lucid ? that is a news to me
[04:59] <qman__> Overand, well, lucid is still two months from release, those kinds of things happen
[04:59] <johnf> axisys: well a lot of work has been done to get puppet into main and integrate with etckeeper
[04:59] <Overand> qman__: aye - but I'm curious to see if i can figure out 'why'
[04:59] <johnf> or so my memory of server team meeting minutes notes holds
[04:59] <qman__> Overand, #ubuntu+1 might be of more help
[05:02] <axisys> qman__: is there any tool there to buil chroot env for user ?
[05:03] <axisys> qman__: ChrootDirectory is the sshd_config's option .. thanks again!
[05:03] <qman__> axisys, I've used jailkit in the past, but I don't think that's needed with chrootdirectory
[05:04] <qman__> my servers all run hardy so I haven't set it up the new way yet
[05:04] <axisys> this is the chrootdir option -> http://pastebin.com/AKuZvb7f
[05:05] <qman__> ah
[05:06] <qman__> well, jailkit can do that, though it may not be the best option, since it's designed to chroot the old way
[05:06] <axisys> qman__: hmm
[05:07] <axisys> makejail ?
[05:07] <axisys> still looking
[05:15] <swift__> guys, how do i check if my ubuntu-server requires a reboot after ive updated it?
[05:18] <axisys> swift__: cat /etc/motd
[05:19] <swift__> axisys, how can i determine if it needs to be updated?
[05:19] <axisys> swift__: it will show up there .. in few mins
[05:20] <swift__> axisys, in that file.. it shows ifit needs to be rebooted?
[05:20] <axisys> swift__: make sure you have this , update-notifier-common installed
[05:20] <swift__> axisys, how can i check if it's installed?
[05:20] <swift__> and if it's not installed.. i wont know from the motd file?
[05:21] <axisys> swift__: http://pastebin.com/q2xs450R <- i am suppose to reboot this one
[05:22] <axisys> swift__: no
[05:22] <swift__> oh.. dman
[05:22] <swift__> i dont think ive got it installed
[05:23] <swift__> how can i checkif the notifier is installed?
[05:23] <axisys> apt-cache policy update-notifier-common
[05:24] <swift__> hey,... it shows me installed:0.70.10
[05:24] <swift__> means.. i's there right?
[05:24] <axisys> swift__: http://pastebin.com/g23uCeX6
[05:24] <axisys> swift__: yes
[05:24] <swift__> yahoo!
[05:24] <swift__> so, motd will notify
[05:25] <swift__> i i dont see that restart is needed
[05:25] <swift__> coool
[05:25] <swift__> axisys:.. that's my motd file :http://pastebin.com/Y56rLp6c
[05:26] <swift__> please confirm if it's fine
[05:26] <axisys> swift__: looks fine
[05:26] <swift__> so no reboot.. thanks!!
[05:26] <swift__> ur a lifesaver
[05:26] <axisys> swift__: you are welcome
[05:28] <axisys> cat /etc/cron.d/update-motd  .. it should show motd gets updated every 10 mins
[05:29] <swift__> axisys.. it's not there
[05:29] <swift__> that means, it's not running
[05:29] <swift__> hmmm
[05:30] <axisys> swift__: do you have this file ? /usr/sbin/update-motd
[05:31] <swift__> no axisys
[05:31] <axisys> swift__:  dpkg -S update-notifier-common , what does it show?
[05:32] <swift__> shows me the locations where it's present
[05:32] <axisys> dpkg -S /usr/sbin/update-motd ?
[05:32] <swift__> ..../usr/share/...
[05:33] <axisys>  dpkg -L update-motd , what does it say?
[05:33] <swift__> no ... /usr/share/doc/...
[05:33] <axisys> you will need update-motd
[05:33] <swift__> these are docs
[05:33] <swift__> ohk
[05:33] <axisys> sudo apt-get install update-motd
[05:33] <swift__> gosh
[05:34] <swift__> is it safe to install?
[05:34] <swift__> coz this is a production machine
[05:35] <axisys> swift__: yes
[05:36] <swift__> got this error:    E: Couldn't find package update-motd
[05:37] <axisys> swift__: u r using karmic ?
[05:37] <swift__> karmic?
[05:37] <swift__> what's that?
[05:38] <axisys> lsb_release -a ?
[05:38] <axisys> sudo lsb_release -a ?
[05:39] <qman__> or cat /etc/issue
[05:39] <swift__> it's LTS 8.04
[05:39] <swift__> 8.04.4
[05:40] <axisys> swift__: hmm.. i dont have that release..
[05:40] <swift__> oh...
[05:40] <axisys> swift__: what pkg did you install that you are wondering about reboot ?
[05:40] <swift__> my LILO got updated
[05:40] <swift__> i guess i need to reboot
[05:41] <axisys> swift__: lilo ? wow ! forgot about it ... i am using grub2
[05:41] <swift__> im surprised too.. that it's LILO
[05:41] <axisys> swift__: you got new kernel ?
[05:41] <qman__> I use regular old grub
[05:41] <swift__> yep
[05:42] <qman__> yeah, then you'll need to reboot to use the new kernel
[05:42] <axisys> swift__: then obviously you will need to reboot :-)
[05:42] <swift__> ye.. wanted to know if there's a better check though
[05:42] <axisys> swift__: i should have asked you that long time ago
[05:42] <swift__> no probs
[05:43] <axisys> swift__: there is no update-motd in that release.. we established that.. may be a PPA version.. avail
[05:43] <swift__> oh
[06:05] <axisys> should I be able to install ubuntu server on x2250 .. this site does not mention anything http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/sun
[06:38] <Roxyhart0> hi im running a script that call the finction die(), somebody know where i can finf this function? i mean which package?
[06:39] <Callum__> Roxyhart0: the script should define the function itself if it isn't sourced from another script
[06:40] <Roxyhart0> im running a script that i run before on gentoo but apparently the sintaxis is a little bit different
[06:41] <Callum__> Roxyhart0: does the script source any other script files using the "." or "source" commands?
[06:41] <Roxyhart0> no
[06:41] <Callum__> in that case if die() isn't defined in the script itself it shouldn't work properly...
[06:42] <Roxyhart0> well before was function die() now i just wrote die() and is working but still the sintax with the rest of the script is different
[06:43] <Callum__> Roxyhart0: well, modify your die() function according to the syntax the script uses =)
[06:43] <Roxyhart0> yes, i think gentoo and ubuntu doesn't work with the same sintax for shell script
[06:45] <Callum__> Roxyhart0: shell script compatibility depends on the shell being used to interpret the script. Ubuntu and Debian use dash by default, while IIRC Gentoo uses bash, which as quite a lot of non-standard extensions to the shell scripting langauges. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh for more information
[06:45] <Roxyhart0> thanks a lot :) i will right now
[06:46] <Callum__> Roxyhart0: if the script you are using is a "bash" script rather than a POSIX-compliant shell script, it would be a good idea to change the shebang at the top of the script from "#!/bin/sh" to "#!/bin/bash"
[06:47] <Roxyhart0> yes you are right...that is the problem apparently
[06:47] <Callum__> Ubuntu still uses bash as the default login shell, therefore it is included with the distribution
[06:51] <Roxyhart0> yes, i suppose i should run it with bash myscript but still doesn't recognize the sintax so i will try to change it
[08:08] <stiv2k> help! My ubuntu server is losing its network connection intermittently
[08:08] <stiv2k> it happens with both the onboard NIC and PCI one
[08:09] <Jeeves_> stiv2k: Wouldn't it be good to check the other side, or the cable? :)
[08:09] <stiv2k> Jeeves_: what do you mean other side?
[08:10] <stiv2k> Jeeves_: i think it started happening with one of the latest kernels
[08:10] <stiv2k> i kept booting 2.6.28.x and it was fine but 2.6.31.x seemed to always have this problem
[08:13] <stiv2k> anyone?
[08:18] <JanC> stiv2k: what do the logs say...?
[08:18] <stiv2k_> gah
[08:18] <stiv2k_> it froze again
[08:18] <stiv2k_> i dont know what you said
[08:18] <stiv2k_> my other nick is from my server which just lost connection
[08:18] <JanC> just that one line  ☺
[08:18] <stiv2k_> JanC: which log?
[08:20] <JanC> syslog for example
[08:20] <stiv2k_> ok
[08:20] <JanC> search for network-related errors just before you lost connection
[08:25] <stiv2k_> uhhh
[08:25] <stiv2k_> JanC: all i see is smbd, ntpd, and CRON
[08:25] <stiv2k_> in the syslog
[08:33] <stiv2k_> JanC: what can i do to fix it?
[08:37] <JanC> well, first you have to find what happens...
[08:37] <stiv2k_> JanC: im looking through the logs, but i dont know what i should be looking for
[08:37] <JanC> does the server lock up completely?
[08:38] <stiv2k_> i don't think so
[08:38] <stiv2k_> but i could be wrong
[08:38] <stiv2k_> i connected a keyboard and screen to it this time
[08:38] <stiv2k_> so i'll be able to answer that question in a couple minutes
[08:52] <stiv2k_> JanC: looks like the whole machine is locked up
[08:52] <stiv2k_> JanC: i get no response from the caps lock lights
[08:53] <JanC> so, that's more difficult to debug  ;)
[08:55] <Roxyhart0> hi ...i am using ldappassword to change password users, but when i connect froma windows client it doesnt work unless i change the password with smbpasswd. somebody know if there are any bug with it?
[08:55] <stiv2k_> JanC: damn
[08:55] <stiv2k_> JanC: what do i do?
[09:25] <mco1> Hello. I still got serious problems using samba as my primary domain controller.
[09:25] <mco1> Would anyone be willing to help? Most of the information can be found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8889517
[09:35] <sherr> mcol: I would have a look at the changes made from samba 3.2 to 3.4 and see if any might cause your problems. First, concentrate on the 3.3 and 3.4 changes (others are mainly bug fixes). v3.4 has some significant changes to "domain authentication" for instance. Here : http://www.samba.org/samba/history/
[09:36] <mco1> sherr: Significant changes to "domain authentication" sounds like my problem. Thank you for providing the link.
[09:37] <sherr> Have you backups or password/configuration? If all else fails, you can always revert to your previous version i.e. remove 3.4 and put 3.2 back - build from source perhaps. Not ideal - but takes pressure off while you look to find the problem in 3.4.
[09:39] <mco1> sherr: Everything is backed up. In the company, we got some new machines, though. With windows 7, which spawned the problem of me having to update samba.
[09:39] <mco1> A complete revert would only postpone the problem.
[10:10] <mco1> Hello. I still got my problem documented at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8889517
[10:10] <mco1> I've read in the changelogs, and assume that newer samba versions could solve my problem. Can someone please provide a package for a stable new samba release, or can provide information on how I get one.
[10:17] <dassouki> are there any dimdim of adobe seminar alternatives ? that I can install on my server
[10:21] <mco1> Update: After migrating smbpasswd to tdbsam, the windows xp machines can log in again. The windows 7 machines still dont want to join, though.
[10:56] <sherr> mcol: Haqve you looked at the Samba list/archives? http://lists.samba.org - or Google search for : site:http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba "Windows 7"
[11:00] <mco1> sherr: I've googled a lot, and have set those registry entries mentioned in http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7
[11:04] <mco1> Done! I'll document everything over here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8889630
[11:04] <mco1> Thank you all for your help!
[11:11] <sherr> mcol: great news! Please do document and I am happy I could offer some help.
[11:24] <Roxyhart0> hi how i can know the mac address from a IP?
[11:24] <persia> Roxyhart0: rarp
[11:25] <persia> Err, I always get that backwards.  Sorry.  arp.
[11:31] <Roxyhart0> thanks a lot very helpull the command
[11:32] <Roxyhart0> do you know is there are easy way to detect with with is this IP conected?
[11:33] <persia> Note that you won't get arp/rarp data unless you're able to communicate unrouted (as the two hosts will have exchanged MAC addresses).  Depending on your environment, you may need to track down nodes one-by-one along the way (especially when walking through NAT, etc.)
[11:33] <persia> I usually use ping or nmap to detect things about IPs.
[11:34] <persia> You can use arp/rarp to tell your local host stuff that it didn't autodiscover, which can let you e.g. use nmap on a host on a different subnet but on the same segment without hitting the router.
[11:34] <Roxyhart0> yes i did, arp work fine but i am not sure which swith is this IP conected
[11:35] <persia> I'm not going to give you detailed instructions on how to dig out information on remote segments (even if you control them) without a prior trust relationship (because such information is easily abused).
[11:36] <persia> At a broad level, you can likely track it down by either investigating data available on the switches concerned, or by analysing the network packets available from attempted communication with the target host.
[11:37] <persia> My apologies at the lack of useful response, but I hope you understand my reasoning.
[11:40] <Roxyhart0> i already detect that this computer have virus and is dropiing the connection with port 80
[11:41] <Roxyhart0> i tryied to detect it from the switches but this address i cant find
[11:56] <Roxyhart0> do you know how i can block the trafic from a particular IP?
[12:07] <Roxyhart0> somebody know how i can check by internal IPs with tcpdump...?
[12:11] <persia> Roxyhart0: You can block with iptables (and I think ufw is the recommended tool to manage this.
[12:11] <Roxyhart0> ok, thanks
[12:42] <Roxyhart0> hi i am trying to block the access to a IP but still it is accessing, this Ip have virus..i did with -iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0  -p udp -s 172.17.9.160  -j DROP
[12:44] <persia> As long as you're only intending to block udp, that ought work.  Depending on the nature of traffic, you may also want to block tcp, icmp, gre, etc.
[12:45] <Roxyhart0> i want to block anything with this ip
[12:45] <Roxyhart0> but when i do iftop still it have movement
[12:45] <Roxyhart0> how i can say "anything"?
[12:46] <persia> I don't know, but "-p udp" says UDP.
[12:47] <persia> The manpage claims one can send "-p all", but I've no idea if it works.
[12:47] <Roxyhart0> i dont know how stop this IP have virus and i am getting blacklisted my domain
[12:47] <persia> The manpage also has lots of other lovely tidbits :)
[12:48] <Roxyhart0> you know i try manything and still
[12:48] <persia> Where are you running the command?  If you're getting complaints from an external party that some device on your network is sending packets, you'll need to drop or block the packets somewhere between the offending device and the network gateway (or at the network gateway), and running them locally may not help.
[12:48] <Roxyhart0> maybe is iftop is laying and is not the real IP
[12:49] <Nicador_fl> Hello. I have a problem with postfix. If a send an email to @yahoo.com it ends up in Spam.... what's the problem ?
[12:50] <Roxyhart0> maybe you are balclisted like me
[12:50] <Roxyhart0> because maybe you got virus in your network
[12:50] <Nicador_fl> Because of what? This is the first time I send an e-mail with my server.
[12:51] <Roxyhart0> hehe
[12:51] <Roxyhart0> well i got similar problem, do you receive a message from where?
[12:51] <Roxyhart0> spamhouse or something like that?
[12:52] <Nicador_fl> You are talking about the mail headers ?
[12:53] <Roxyhart0> what do you mean with Spam?
[12:53] <Nicador_fl> In yahoo's spam :D
[12:53] <Roxyhart0> what is the message that you receive
[12:53] <Nicador_fl> No message.... If i check the email .. it's in spam.
[12:53] <Nicador_fl> :|
[12:53] <Roxyhart0> is just yahoo?
[12:54] <Roxyhart0> i got same problem with hotmail, and they say i needed to configure the dns with s spf file
[12:54] <Nicador_fl> I see gmail too.
[12:55] <Roxyhart0> check this address http://www.dnsbl.info/dnsbl-details.php?dnsbl=cbl.abuseat.org
[12:55] <Roxyhart0> with your IP from you are going outside
[12:56] <Nicador_fl> Waaa.. looks bad :))
[12:56] <Nicador_fl> dnsbl-3.uceprotect.net
[12:56] <Roxyhart0> are you blacklisted?
[12:56] <Nicador_fl> dnsbl-2.uceprotect.net
[12:56] <Nicador_fl> Just in thoes 2.
[12:57] <Roxyhart0> you need to pay...they ask for pay i think
[12:57] <Roxyhart0> i hate virus...i am getting this problem now
[12:58] <Roxyhart0> for hotmail i had a lot of headache, they say i need to setting my dns with a spf file or something like that
[12:59] <Nicador_fl> It's my subnet to blaim.
[12:59] <Roxyhart0> still i cant drop packages from a infected IP...
[13:15] <persia> Nicador_fl: http://www.openspf.org/ may be helpful (if you don't get a better answer here), especially http://www.openspf.org/Support
[13:15] <MatBoy> anyone running on ext4 on a server ?
[13:15] <MatBoy> I think ext3 for /boot is best
[13:20] <Nicador_fl> persia, I'm not going to end up nowhere. My ISP is listed in a main spam database http://www.uceprotect.net/. And as far as I know my ISP has problems keeping my internet up and running. No point in asking them to resolve spam issues with other customers, and uceprotect wont make an exception for a single person.
[13:22] <persia> Nicador_fl: That makes it tricky then :)  You might be able to arrange service with a mail provider or seek an alternate ISP.  I'm not convinced there's anything you can do in postfix otherwise :(
[13:23] <Roxyhart0> somebody know how i can block a IP and the port, for everything i try but doesn't work
[13:25] <Nicador_fl> persia, my ISP it's only broadband provider here. An other choice it's DSL but it's not a static IP there.
[13:26] <Roxyhart0> are u using a NAT?
[13:26] <Roxyhart0> anyway you just need to request unlisk form uceprotec.net it usually take a couple of hours
[13:27] <Nicador_fl> No. I'm using direct LAN not class c.
[13:27] <Roxyhart0> and then when you are unlist you need to try again to send to hotmails account if you are unlisted and still it is going to junk list for hormail maybe you need configurate the spf file
[13:28] <Nicador_fl> uceprotect said they not make anything for individual. I have to fix the ISP to fix myslef.
[13:29] <Roxyhart0> i am the queen of blacklisted for this virus and always there are a way to unlist
[13:30] <Nicador_fl> I don't think it's a virus in my ISP. I live in romania, then land of ebay, paypal scams :))
[13:32] <persia> Nicador_fl: finding another mail provider is likely your only solution, and using it as a smarthost (perhaps with some pull feature to get mail from there back to you).
[13:32] <Roxyhart0> if you dont have those security system doesn't matter...the viruses are internationals :) and travel aroud the world
[13:32] <MatBoy> guys, no-one using ext4 yet >
[13:32] <MatBoy> ?
[13:33] <Nicador_fl> persia, I used google apps in the past... but I need the php mail() function :)
[13:33] <Roxyhart0> im ext3, is more safety for me
[13:33] <Nicador_fl> It's easyer to me to build websites with mail features using mail() than to write a SMTP class each time.
[13:35] <MatBoy> Roxyhart0: Iḿ with  you there, but what is your reason for the safety ?
[13:36] <Nicador_fl> My ISP has a SMTP server for clients with PPPoE that have 25 blocked. But it seams I can't access it cause I have 25 running LOL
[13:38] <Roxyhart0> im not sure really i ask time ago and is more probed and work fine, i lost information before with anothers formats and ext3 worked fine so i prefare stay there
[13:41] <persia> Nicador_fl: postix can work in smarthost mode, if all you want is php mail()
[13:42] <Nicador_fl> I hate deppending on the google servers :(
[13:46] <MatBoy> Roxyhart0: I have everything running ext3 also
[13:47] <MatBoy> Roxyhart0: just setting up a new server with lvm on softraid
[13:47] <MatBoy> and again... ubuntu server has ext4 in the list :s
[14:27] <kirkland> cjwatson: could offer a hint on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/eucalyptus/+bug/527648 when you get a chance?
[14:27] <kirkland> cjwatson: see the thread in the bug
[14:27] <kirkland> (mostly me talking to myself)
[14:30] <zroysch> whats the best way to backup a failing raid5 md partition and compress it at the same time? i'm getting a mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md2, error when i try mounting it. i have to fit about 1.1tb in 920gb
[14:33] <sherr> zroysch: might be worth looking at clonezilla? I think there are many other backup/archiving solutions around as well.
[14:54] <zroysch> sherr: i have a clonezilla boot cd.. is there an application i can install so i dont have to connect a monitor and keyboard etc to the server
[15:13] <sherr> zroysch: OK - what about using partimage or even just dd + gzip?
[15:13] <sherr> http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page
[15:13] <zroysch> yea someone mentioned i could pipe it from dd to bz/gzip
[15:14] <zroysch> but partimage requires a mount, i think
[15:15] <sherr> I don't think so - but why guess? Read the docs ...
[15:19] <Jeeves_> Hmm
[15:19] <Jeeves_> I need to edit main.cf in the postfix config to enable an ipv6 smarthost
[15:21] <zroysch> sherr: thanks trying partimage now
[15:23] <zroysch> hmm yea its not showing my md2 partition
[15:37] <zroysch> yet it shows the md1 raid1
[15:41] <sherr> zroysch: I guess md2 needs to be started perhaps? check /proc/mdstat
[15:41] <zroysch> sherr: its running
[15:41] <zroysch> http://pastebin.ca/1813571
[15:41] <zroysch> not sure if anything is wrong here
[15:41] <zroysch> hmm.
[15:42] <zroysch> when i run partimage without sudo, it shows md2
[15:42] <zroysch> strange
[15:43] <zroysch> with sudo http://pastebin.ca/1813575
[15:44] <zroysch> without sudo http://pastebin.ca/1813576
[15:46] <sherr> zroysch: sorry no idea. Maybe there are verbose/debug flags on the CLI, and get more information about errors/warnings
[15:49] <zroysch> true
[15:49] <zroysch> sherr: thanks i'll try finding a command
[15:55] <zroysch> http://www.partimage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=754&sid=913e061b7f2d8edc54aac2e6e8345080
[15:55] <zroysch> hmm seems to be an old problem
[16:03] <sherr> sherr: yes, seems pretty bad. can't tell from the "changes" file if it's been fixed - but lots of "applied patch from ..". maybe compile and try.
[16:11] <Nicador_fl> Hi again. How do I change the reverse of my ip? * Dns resolved 86.126.159.38 to 38-159-126-86.rdspt.ro
[16:28] <sherr> Nicador_fl: that looks like an ISP DNS record - so maybe ask them.
[17:46] <garymc> Hi Guys. I created Virtual Domains on my server last week. www.thefinancefacility.com and www.secret-eye.com
[17:46] <garymc> Now if I type secret-eye.com without the www the financefacility.com website shows up. How dO i stop that happening and make it go to the correct site?
[17:55] <cyphermox> garymc, make sure your Apache config (I assume it's apache and virtualhosts) has a line ServerAlias with your alternate urls (without www)
[18:00] <garymc> cybermox take a look at my file see if its ok. I thought I did that http://pastebin.ca/1813775
[18:10] <hagedorn> hello, me working for a media  agency which have to send a few million mails per week, ... want to change our mail system from exim4 to postfix in ubuntu hardy cause of better sopport for dkim,... but postfix seem to have some mighty 78 charakter per line restrictions ??? any ideas ?
[18:36] <porki> is there any website where I can upload the pdf files and get the link for forum so that the pdf can be viewed directly in forum like we do with imges in forum
[19:08] <stiv2k> hi, how do I change the boot params ? I need to set nomodeset so my server doesnt crash
[19:10] <BulleTh0> stiv2k: /boot/grub/menu.lst and after that run update-grub
[19:11] <stiv2k> BulleTh0: is that gonna change it for all future ones?
[19:12] <BulleTh0> stiv2k: For all futer ones what? :)
[19:12] <stiv2k> future kernel installations
[19:13] <BulleTh0> stiv2k: I can't answer that :) I never updated my kernel.
[19:13] <stiv2k> BulleTh0: why?
[19:14] <BulleTh0> 5 years ago I updated the kernel and the OS got busted :)
[19:14] <stiv2k> lol
[19:18] <ogex> :D
[19:21] <BulleTh0> Like .. why scrach a leg if you don't have a ich ? :))
[19:21] <guntbert> BulleTh0: and because a mechanic borked my car 5 years ago I never let one touch it any more ;-)
[19:21] <stiv2k> BulleTh0: because you should arm yoruself with anti-itch powder so that an itch doesnt develop in the future
[19:23] <BulleTh0> No way. If my box runs smooth, I don't have to scrach myself.
[19:25] <stiv2k> dammit
[19:25] <guntbert> BulleTh0: and that little amount my brakes are deteriorating I don't even notice ;-)
[19:25] <stiv2k> BulleTh0: i ran update-grub and rebooted and now it says error 11: unrecognized device string
[19:25] <stiv2k> wht now
[19:25] <RoyK> any idea if btrfs is to stabilise soon_
[19:25] <RoyK> ?
[19:26] <MatBoy> mhh, my ubuntu server does not see my dynalink modem on the ttys0
[19:26] <BulleTh0> stiv2k: And it wont boot ?
[19:26] <stiv2k> BulleTh0: yeah
[19:27] <stiv2k> it put it on 2 lines
[19:27] <stiv2k> kernel /boot/vmulinuz.... and then on a separate line it has root=UUID=blahblah
[19:27] <MatBoy> and i know it worked before on another server with the same modem
[19:27] <BulleTh0> Reboot. And in the GRUB menu press E.
[19:28] <stiv2k> i already did
[19:28] <stiv2k> what to edit?
[19:28] <BulleTh0> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=grubvga.png
[19:28] <BulleTh0> Like so.
[19:29] <stiv2k> aha
[19:29] <stiv2k> i fixed it
[19:29] <stiv2k> i put them back on one line and it worked
[19:29] <stiv2k> why does update-grub put it on 2 lines?!?!? that broke it
[19:30] <stiv2k> criminals
[19:30] <BulleTh0> lol @ stiv2k
[22:31] <sarah93> wow you should check this http://bit.ly/bFi9I4
