SattvicI have a few easy questions for a server admin...02:44
lullabudlooking for a good network based enterprise backup solution.  anybody have suggestions?02:50
Sattvic@lullabud - not jungledisk - way too slow02:52
lullabudhah, good to know, Sattvic.  i'll stay away from them.02:53
lullabudi can't remember the one we used at my last company... their windows config tool was ridiculous, but their linux stuff was easy.02:54
lullabudi am hoping to do something with rdiff-backup to an offsite long-term archive.02:54

shizzleHow can I make all files in a directory inherit permissions from it's directory?03:35
ubuntuNewBehey is this where I can get some help for server applications?03:51
lullabudubuntuNewBe: yes03:55
ubuntuNewBety lullabud, does anybody here have experience with ssl certs that can answer a question or two?03:58
lullabudubuntuNewBe: fire away04:00
ubuntuNewBeI am trying to understand a couple of lines of ssl code on one of the ubuntu pages.04:01
ubuntuNewBewhat do these 2 lines mean? openssl req -new -key smtpd.key -x509 -days 3650 -out smtpd.crt # has prompts04:01
ubuntuNewBeopenssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 365004:01
ubuntuNewBedoes the 2nd line create a self signed cert?04:01
ubuntuNewBelullabud, does this line create a root self-signed cert?  openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 365004:01
ubuntuNewBeI got this line from the instructions to enable ssl on postfix from this page:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix04:03
lullabudubuntuNewBe: no, a certificate will usually have .crt for its file extension04:03
lullabudhere is a tutorial you can check out - http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_test_certificate.html04:03
lullabudyou're almost there with what you got04:04
lullabudthe's just the last line:  openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt04:04
ubuntuNewBelullabud, like i said I got this from a ubuntu help page for postfix mail server.  So is this cert secure or not?04:04
lullabudubuntuNewBe: it looks like it's not a certificate, just a request and a private key04:05
lullabudyou still have to generate your certificate04:05
ubuntuNewBeoh okay, I understand what you are saying now.  Another line on the tutorial is:  openssl req -new -key smtpd.key -x509 -days 3650 -out smtpd.crt04:06
lullabudcrt is a certificate.  csr is a certificate signing request, and .pem is a key store04:06
lullabudyes04:06
ubuntuNewBeso is that a secure crt?04:06
ubuntuNewBeor does it have to signed by a root cert first?04:07
lullabudyou know, i'm not the best with ssl, so i can't answer these questions with certainty04:07
lullabudbut, it looks like that's a valid self signed cert04:07
ubuntuNewBeokay, no problem04:07
lullabudor, rather, it will be.04:07
ubuntuNewBethanks04:07
lullabudde nada04:07
lullabudgood luck with that04:07
ubuntuNewBeI apprecate the info, and the link04:08

sherrgop-: usermod modifies user accounts. But I don't think you can rename a user. maybe delete the user and re-create for that.19:21

frojndI'm trying to learn some grep commands there :) I'm trying to sort out text from  ~/.recently-used file alphabetically. I tried like cat ~/.recently-used | grep '<URI>' | sort -d but this isn't enough. I'd only like to get from grep: /home/frojnd/Downloads/Proga.odt So without <URI>file:// and without </URI> at the back.. What option would I need to use in order to get sucuh output?19:34
frojndNot just for this line, for may lines that are within ~/.recently-used19:34
frojndany ideas'19:49
