| KurtKraut | www, thanks to my portuguese, yes, I can understand what you tried to say. You have a server with Ubuntu installed. This server has two ethernet cards: one plugged to a router that has access to the internet and other ethernet card that is pluged to a LAN. You want to the computers at LAN to access the internet. Right? | 01:29 |

| twb | Maybe out in the free west | 03:19 |
| hink | I do have a question though. Is there a way to allow multiple users to SSH into a host and have sudo privileges without knowing the remote host password and without managing more than a single public key? | 03:26 |
| hink | Sort of like a proxy or key manager | 03:27 |
| twb | You can give them key-based entry coupled with passwordless sudo and/or ssh forced commands. | 03:28 |
| twb | IMO it's inevitably wrong for two users to share an SSH keypair, though. | 03:28 |
| hink | twb: that's fine, but say i have 5 admins. How do they auth with the same key without having the key on their system. There needs to be a jumbox of some sort. So the key is never stored on their system. | 03:29 |
| twb | Why can't they have their own keys, on their own systems? | 03:29 |
| hink | This way I can install a key on hundreds of systems and if a sysadmin leaves. I just remove their access to the proxy instead of going through hundreds of authorized_keys files | 03:29 |
| twb | Incidentally, ssh-agent is the proxy you're talking about. | 03:29 |
| twb | hink: it also means the "proxy" is a SPOF for all access to all hosts | 03:30 |
| persia | hink: Just set up a system that manages the authorised keys remotely from one known good set. | 03:30 |
| twb | It's not hard to iterate over hosts to remove a single key, though. That would suffice to guard against post-facto malice, but not malice aforethought. | 03:31 |
| persia | hink: So you use some server farm management tool to keep the file in sync with a central source. | 03:31 |
| twb | persia: you mean like puppet? | 03:31 |
| persia | Alternately, if you don't use a farm management tool, add a cron job that pulls, compares, and updates every (minute, hour, day, etc.) as needed. | 03:31 |
| persia | twb: puppet is one of the tools that do what I describe, yes. | 03:31 |
| twb | Nod. | 03:31 |
| hink | persia: thats an idea | 03:32 |
| twb | I babysit a lot of single-server SOHOs, so I'm a bit nervous to deploy a puppetmaster here and clients there, because of the relationship that implies. | 03:32 |
| twb | But for a rack full of gear, it's fantastic. | 03:32 |
| persia | hink: The important bit is that each admin has their *own* key, and each server has the list of keys. Otherwise you have to both patch all the servers *and* redistribute keys every time, which is bound to end in operational failure. | 03:32 |
| twb | Incidentally, how can I get opensshd to log WHICH key was used to gain entry? | 03:34 |
| hink | twb, persia: The only issue with a single file with authorized keys is that the client may have keys of their own on a single server. | 03:35 |
| twb | hink: with appropriate dancing, you can leave the client's part of the authorized_keys file alone. | 03:36 |
| hink | i love to dance | 03:36 |
| persia | hink: Easy way to work around that is to have different accounts for service provider and client as ssh targets, and use sudo from those accounts for elevated permissions. | 03:36 |
| twb | That, too | 03:36 |
| ruben23 | hi during fresh install..with ubuntu- do i need to set something on the repo..? | 03:38 |

| twb | ruben23: insufficient data. | 03:39 |
| ruben23 | :-D | 03:39 |
| hink | ruben23: You most likely need to sudy | 03:39 |
| hink | *sudo | 03:39 |
| ruben23 | im at rrot | 03:39 |
| hink | Sir, did you powercycle your modem? | 03:40 |
| twb | Let's find out what the error message is, rather than guessing, eh? | 03:40 |
| hink | twb: that never works | 03:40 |
| persia | Lots of folk don't even have "modem"s as such :) | 03:40 |
| ruben23 | yeah. | 03:40 |
| ruben23 | wait | 03:40 |
| twb | persia: ATM is still modulated and demodulated. | 03:40 |
| twb | Oops, no it doesn't. | 03:42 |
| persia | twb: I have ethernet to the national grid. No modem. It all depends on where you are. | 03:42 |
| twb | Granted. It'd be exceptional to get that in .au. | 03:43 |
| persia | twb: Plus, folks with managed connections (building-wide, block-wide, etc.) often don't have any direct connection. | 03:43 |
| persia | twb: Oh. Yes. In the land of wet strings, modems are more common :) | 03:43 |
| twb | There are election promises of FTTH for 90% of the capita, but I'll believe that when I see it. | 03:46 |
| pwnguin | you know what would be superb? | 03:53 |
| twb | pwnguin: a rocket that shoots kippers. | 03:53 |
| pwnguin | a smarter /etc merge on upgrade | 03:54 |
| twb | Isn't that why you use git for /etc? | 03:54 |
| pwnguin | well, upgrade presents one big patch | 03:54 |
| pwnguin | it'd be nice to confirm / deny individual hunk | 03:55 |
| pwnguin | s | 03:55 |
| pwnguin | and maybe automate changes to spelling fixes in comments | 03:55 |
| twb | That's what the "open a shell" option is for. | 03:55 |
| persia | No, that's a limitation of etckeeper hooks. | 03:55 |
| twb | Assuming you're talking about conffile conflict handling in dpkg | 03:55 |
| persia | Ideally, etckeeper would be able to track each change as a potential commit, and let the admin deal with each individually. | 03:56 |
| twb | persia: granted. | 03:56 |
| pwnguin | persia has my general vision | 03:56 |
| twb | If you want to get technical, etckeeper's darcs backend defaults to interactive. | 03:56 |
| pwnguin | though it'd be handy to have heuristics to handle comments | 03:56 |
| persia | pwnguin: Go implement it. It mostly just needs smarter heuristics and per-file/per-upgrade tracking. | 03:57 |
| twb | pwnguin: that would involve etckeeper knowing what format comments take in each kind of file | 03:57 |
| pwnguin | twb: thats kinda what heuristics mean | 03:57 |
| persia | Probably a small extension to dpkg and a larger extension to etckeeper to use multiple strands (how this is implemented depends on the VCS in use) | 03:57 |
| twb | pwnguin: and THAT means you need to know what encoding the file is in. | 03:57 |
| pwnguin | hmm. encoding might be tricky because ive got no clue how that works | 03:58 |
| persia | twb: No. You just need to know what set of files changed for each upgrade, and let the VCS and the user sort it. | 03:58 |
| twb | pwnguin: I'm involved in Darcs' development, and I can tell you that what *looks* like a really trivial issue to the end user turns out to be... nontrivial to handle reliably. | 03:58 |
| pwnguin | for the most part /etc comments should start with ; or # | 03:59 |
| twb | pwnguin: except when they don't, of course... | 03:59 |
| twb | e.g. if you have an XML config file (/etc/gconf.d/gconf.xml.mandatory/%gconf-tree.xml?), or inline comments. | 03:59 |
| persia | Why do we care about the internal representation of the files? | 04:00 |
| pwnguin | well, you can either use heuristics to improve user prompts or tune them to where false positives are rare. | 04:00 |
| uvirtbot | New bug: #530468 in vlan (main) "[FFE] Build udeb for vlan" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/530468 | 04:01 |
| twb | A conventional VCS needs to at least care if they're binary or text (split on \n) files. | 04:01 |
| persia | Only for actually performing the merge. | 04:02 |
| pwnguin | or displaying a diff | 04:02 |
| persia | In terms of allowing the admin to sort through each merge separately, it doesn't matter. | 04:02 |
| twb | A conventional VCS needs to know at commit time, because it stores commits as diffs. | 04:02 |
| persia | Right, but the idea is to *not* commit during the dpkg run, but rather dump the admin into an interactive session to compare stuff after the dpkg run is complete. | 04:03 |
| pwnguin | hmm | 04:04 |
| pwnguin | here's a different idea | 04:05 |
| pwnguin | ive really only made one change to php.ini, to increase from 16 to 32 | 04:05 |
| pwnguin | rather than try to merge the new maintainer into the old file | 04:05 |
| persia | That's more advanced, and gets into the much more complicated mess twb is implying. | 04:05 |
| twb | I think the crux of pwnguin immediate issue is that dpkg is doing a two-way merge between HEADs -- not even a three-way merge between HEADs and ancestor (let alone an n-way commuting merge). | 04:06 |
| pwnguin | right, a 3 way merge | 04:07 |
| persia | I think there are two issues. 1) etckeeper does a poor job of managing mass changes associated with a large upgrade and 2) dpkg merging is suboptimal | 04:07 |
| twb | pwnguin: you can do that by dropping into a shell and comparing .dpkg-new/.dpkg-old against the etckeeper history. | 04:08 |
| twb | persia: agreed. | 04:08 |
| pwnguin | twb: unfortunately, for the moment all ive been doing is letting etc-keeper collect data | 04:09 |
| pwnguin | at some point i should bother learning what it does | 04:09 |
| pwnguin | well | 04:09 |
| pwnguin | how to use it i mean | 04:09 |
| persia | pwnguin: It just stores each state of config changes as a new revision in the VCS. Handy for history, but not very granular. | 04:10 |
| pwnguin | persia: right. i just haven't bothered working with it at all. poor writing on my part above | 04:10 |
| twb | Our sysadmins are in the habit of using RCS for /etc/foorc | 04:11 |
| twb | So I am trying to train them to instead call "etckeeper commit" after changing foorc | 04:11 |
| twb | (Instead of ci -u or whatever it is.) | 04:11 |
| pwnguin | heh, at work im lucky if anyone knows what RCS is | 04:11 |
| * persia is glad not to have used RCS in over a decade | 04:12 | |
| pwnguin | i have a meeting tomorrow to integrate our RCS system for students with ldap | 04:12 |
| pwnguin | woa | 04:12 |
| pwnguin | you mean, THE rcs, and not A rcs? | 04:12 |
| twb | pwnguin: um, RCS isn't a class of systems. | 04:12 |
| twb | Yes, we mean "the" rcs. | 04:13 |
| efleming969 | does UFW support configuring port redirects? ie iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 | 04:13 |
| pwnguin | ive commonly seen RCS to mean 'revision control system' | 04:13 |
| twb | efleming969: if you're prepared to write iptables-restore fragments by hand, it supports anything iptables-restore can do. | 04:13 |
| twb | pwnguin: to disambiguate, I use "VCS"> | 04:13 |
| persia | pwnguin: "VCS" is typically used as a generic term to avoid semantic collision. | 04:13 |
| efleming969 | twb: ah, but not through the command interface? | 04:14 |
| pwnguin | we have this legacy rhel 2 system | 04:14 |
| twb | efleming969: AFAIK, no, but I don't do ufw much | 04:14 |
| pwnguin | with a bunch of php and file copies for revision control | 04:15 |
| twb | pwnguin: we have FC1 in our core network :-/ | 04:15 |
| pwnguin | tickets.php.ORIG1 | 04:15 |
| pwnguin | i haven't decided how to resolve that system | 04:16 |
| efleming969 | twb: i'm using server 9.10, where do you usually put your iptable rules (iptable-restore)? | 04:16 |
| pwnguin | the braindamage is very deep with it so I'm inclined to drop as much custom stuff in favor of open source apps | 04:16 |
| pwnguin | as possible | 04:17 |
| twb | efleming969: I don't use non-LTS releases. | 04:18 |
| twb | efleming969: but I recommend iptables-persistent. | 04:18 |
| pwnguin | ive been called a poor sysadmin for this, but i really hate firewalls | 04:19 |
| efleming969 | twb: thanks, i'll look into it. | 04:19 |

| twb | Seems to me UEC is kinda specialized | 08:12 |
| persia | I think it depends on what one wants. On-demand instances are fundamentally different than long-running instances. | 08:14 |

| Omahn | Has anyone seen this message on upgrading 8.04 to 10.04? | 09:01 |
| Omahn | mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such device | 09:01 |
| Omahn | Followed by: | 09:01 |
| Omahn | udevd[857]: error getting socket: Invaild argument | 09:01 |
| Omahn | Boot then bombs out with a segfault and drops to the initramfs. | 09:01 |
| twb | Omahn: this is after upgrading *everything* ? | 09:04 |
| Omahn | twb: Yep, 'do-release-upgrade -d' from 8.04 LTS | 09:04 |
| Omahn | It's repeatable too, I've upgraded this server 3 times over the past 24 hours with the same result each time. | 09:05 |
| twb | How can you upgrade more than once? | 09:05 |
| Omahn | twb: It's a VM. | 09:05 |
| twb | You mean you rolled back to a snapshot? | 09:05 |
| Omahn | twb: I just take snapshots and roll back as required. | 09:05 |
| twb | OK. | 09:05 |
| Omahn | Just going to try again now to see if anything was pushed over night that makes a difference. | 09:06 |
| twb | After do-r-u'ing, and before rebooting, confirm that sources.list points to lucid, then aptitude upgrade && aptitude -sy full-upgrade. Does it offer to install/remove anything? | 09:06 |
| Omahn | I'll try that now. | 09:06 |
| twb | When I tried that Ubuntu d-r-u crap the other day, it fell over completely. | 09:06 |
| twb | So I'm not convinced that it's actually doing its job. | 09:07 |
| Omahn | twb: That's quite worrying. I hope it improves before release :-) | 09:07 |
| twb | Anyway, that kind of failure you reported could be caused by booting the wrong kernel after upgrading udev, or possibly by building the initramfs with modules=dep instead of modules=most | 09:07 |
| twb | Omahn: if you're going to report a bug, you should include the output of "dpkg --get-selections" both before and after the d-r-u. | 09:08 |
| Omahn | twb: ta. I'll take a copy this time before I start the upgrade | 09:08 |
| Omahn | twb: FYI - Following the upgrade the system is attempting to boot 2.6.24-27-server - that doesn't look right does it... | 09:09 |
| twb | Omahn: I'd also like a pastebin of your menu.lst or grub.conf both before and after. | 09:09 |
| Omahn | twb: Looks like grub is failing to install/update. The grub boot menu is only show 8.04.4 entries. | 09:10 |
| twb | Omahn: lucid/i386 currently has 2.6.32-14-server | 09:10 |
| twb | 8.04 ships .24? Surely that's from -backports | 09:10 |
| Omahn | twb: Any idea if the upgrade process should be installing grub 2 or leaving the old grub? | 09:10 |
| twb | Omahn: last time I looked, it installed a chainload into the grub legacy menu | 09:10 |
| twb | Omahn: that was on Debian -- Ubuntu might have played silly buggers with it | 09:11 |
| Omahn | twb: Yes 8.04 has 2.6.24 as standard | 09:18 |
| Omahn | Looks like 2.6.32 isn't getting installed at all. | 09:18 |
| Omahn | No sign of it in /boot/ | 09:18 |
| johngilbrough | I've just installed 8.04 LAMP on a vps - looking good so far - and am now trying to get mail up and running with postfix & dovecot. How do I get postfix to relay all mail for any dovecot user? | 09:27 |
| johngilbrough | Aison - This is my first time here - is this a dead channel? | 09:31 |
| twb | Omahn: you're right. My 2.6.18 scars must be from RHEL or something | 09:31 |
| Omahn | twb: Yep, rhel5 ships with 2.6.18 | 09:32 |
| Aison | johngilbrough, don't think so ;) I allways idle here | 09:32 |
| twb | Omahn: do you have a kernel metapackage installed? You should by default, but maybe an admin removed it. | 09:32 |
| Omahn | twb: I'll check in a moment, just updating vmware-tools. | 09:33 |
| Omahn | twb: What the kernel metapackage names? | 09:33 |
| Omahn | I'm back in 8.04 now. | 09:33 |
| twb | aptitude search ~i~smetapackage | 09:33 |
| iLLiZT | You shouldnt' bother with vmware-tools until you've finalized your kernel. | 09:33 |
| Roxyhart0 | My new users can not reach the profiles on the server, just create profiles in the local windows machine. however, the old users doesn't have any problem. somebody know what could be the reason? | 09:34 |
| iLLiZT | Since any kernel version changes will make you have to reinstall vmware tools anyway. | 09:34 |
| Omahn | iLLiZT: Not really true, we certainly want it running as often as possible to prevent VMware from swapping. | 09:34 |
| twb | iLLiZT: even then, I found that vmware-tools was utterly useless for VMs running on a headless vmware-server host. For ESX, maybe it is useful for hgfs or something... | 09:34 |
| Omahn | twb: It prevents swapping when the ESX host comes under memory pressure if the tools are installed. | 09:35 |
| Omahn | twb: I have linux-image-server metapackage installed. | 09:35 |
| twb | I can't speak for ESX, only vmware-server. | 09:35 |
| Omahn | I can't speak for vmware-server, only ESX. :-) | 09:35 |
| iLLiZT | Well, both are sort of right. | 09:36 |
| twb | Omahn: if you open the aptitude GUI, and sources.list contains lucid entries, and you've "aptitude update"d lately, it should say that metapackage can be upgraded to depend on a .32 kernel | 09:36 |
| maxagaz | How to put this : "sudo ip addr add 10.100.102.233/24 dev eth0" in my /etc/network/interface (or somewhere else?) ? | 09:36 |
| twb | Omahn: maybe this is related to the -server variant being removed from some architectures? | 09:36 |
| Omahn | twb: Never used the aptitude GUI :-) I'll add the lucid entries to see what I get | 09:37 |

| tdn | johngilbrough, probably because it started with your username? | 09:42 |
| Omahn | twb: Aptitude is reporting that linux-image-server (2.6.24.27.29 => 2.6.32.14.15) will be done. I'm going to try the upgrade again and check over the logs. | 09:42 |
| johngilbrough | tdn - makes sense - does one need to type in the other person's user name each time? | 09:42 |
| johngilbrough | or is there some double-click trick? | 09:43 |
| Aison | johngilbrough, if the line contains your name, this line is marked red in your irc client | 09:43 |
| tdn | johngilbrough, check your irc client's doc. | 09:43 |
| twb | johngilbrough: I don't even type the first letter of someone's name. I just hit TAB and it completes most-recently-spake order. If I REALLY need to disambiguate, I might type just the first letter. | 09:44 |
| twb | johngilbrough: sticking "foo:" in front of a message is a convention to indicate you're speaking to a specific person, rather than just declaiming. | 09:45 |
| johngilbrough | twb, there we go. Alright. | 09:45 |
| Omahn | twb: I suspect this is part of the problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/386882/ | 10:10 |
| Omahn | twb: The upgrade carries on though, I would have expected it to abort at that point. | 10:10 |
| twb | Omahn: that would assume the upgrade code wasn't written by idiots | 10:10 |

| a_ok | can someone help me out with this? | 10:17 |

| twb | a_ok: you need to delete the referenced line from (probably) ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 10:19 |
| twb | a_ok: that's assuming that the host key change is legitimate -- if not, someone might be trying to trick you | 10:19 |

| * persia idly notes that not all ubuntu upgrade paths are aggressively tested with aptitude, and aptitude fans may want to test against new releases and file bugs where there are resolver differences | 11:41 | |

| persia | AnAnt: The formal way is to run a local (potentially partial) mirror, or a caching proxy for the network. | 14:46 |

| persia | Or: if you have a network that can have a dedicated mirror for a number of clients that are expected to update on some schedule and you'd like some control over the process, you want to manage a local archive or a local mirror (depending). | 14:52 |

| mathiaz | cjwatson: now the question is how can I get rid of the networking commands (line 14 - 25 in http://paste.ubuntu.com/387099/)? | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | (why is this coming up now after feature freeze? :-( ) | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | you would probably have to write an actual UI, give vlan-udeb a postinst, insert it into the menu in a sensible place, etc. | 17:00 |
| cjwatson | I would recommend doing that for lucid+1 not lucid | 17:00 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: sure - that's part of automating the installation of UEC on multi networks | 17:01 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: I'm not aiming at having full support of vlan in the installer | 17:01 |
| cjwatson | perhaps it would be appropriate to do it in eucalyptus-udeb then | 17:01 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: just enough so that I can automated the installation | 17:01 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: would it be possible to rerun the network configuration component in the early command? | 17:01 |
| cjwatson | at this point, I don't think I understand the requirements in enough generality to make good recommendations; if it's specifically for UEC, though, eucalyptus-udeb seems like a more appropriate place than vlan-udeb | 17:01 |
| cjwatson | no, it's not | 17:02 |
| cjwatson | sorry, that's seriously complicated weird stuff you're getting into if you try | 17:02 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: yeah - I know | 17:02 |
| Omahn | Speaking as a enterprise ubuntu user, vlan support in the installer would be very useful. | 17:02 |
| cjwatson | Omahn: sure, but a month and a bit before release is not the time to try and design it in general | 17:03 |
| Omahn | We currently have to fiddle with switch settings, do the preseeded build and then change the switch settings back. | 17:03 |
| Omahn | cjwatson: Hell no :-) Support in Lucid+1 would be good though. | 17:03 |
| cjwatson | perhaps somebody could put it on the UDS agenda, where we can design it properly | 17:04 |
| Omahn | I would be more than happy to help testing. | 17:04 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: right - so it seems that what's reasonable for lucid is to get the vlan kernel modules and the vlan udeb? | 17:04 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: I'm not sure | 17:04 |
| cjwatson | I don't have the cycles to think about this beyond the recommendations I've made so far | 17:04 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: once both are available I can tear up and down the network configuration in the early command script | 17:05 |
| cjwatson | I can make sort of off-the-cuff "how do I do this" comments | 17:05 |
| Omahn | mathiaz: Wouldn't it be better to go in 10.04.1 ? | 17:05 |
| cjwatson | Omahn: no new features in point releases. | 17:05 |
| mathiaz | Omahn: nope - it's a new feature | 17:05 |
| cjwatson | but I can't do full-scale design | 17:05 |
| Omahn | We've had new features in 8.04.x releases. | 17:05 |
| cjwatson | Omahn: I'd veto this sort of installer change. sorry | 17:05 |
| Omahn | Like failed RAID boot support. | 17:05 |
| Omahn | cjwatson: Ok :-) | 17:05 |
| cjwatson | that was a bug fix for a previous attempt to make it work | 17:05 |
| Omahn | Fair point | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | actually maybe it was slightly more than that - but it was much simpler than this, anyway | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: having just the kernel modules and vconfig should give you enough flexibility to do ad-hoc things elsewhere, I imagine, yes | 17:08 |
| Omahn | Which channel would it be best to ask about my failing 8.04 -> 10.04 upgrades failing? | 17:08 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: yes - that's what I was thinking for lucid | 17:08 |

| persia | (note that this presumes POSIX shell scripts : other scripting languages have other conventions) | 20:15 |
| hink | thanks persla.... i just got schooled in the ##linux channel. Apparently linux loads the script into mem before running so I can delete it from the script itself | 20:16 |
| persia | I'd recommend adjusting your use case so you don't need to do that. Given other context, probably something like running the script via ssh remotely from a known clean copy. | 20:18 |
