[00:15] <ruben23> can i do Active directory and domain controller on mixed linux and windows client...?
[00:16] <ruben23> any suggestion
[00:22] <ruben23> any one to suggest..?
[00:35] <Callum__> ruben23: yes you can
[00:36] <Callum__> I can't believe my luck hehe, found four unused 300GB drives at work for me to take <3
[00:36] <Callum__> external SCSI drives that I can use in my server system...
[00:38] <ruben23> Callum__: can you explain how is done just a background idea
[00:39] <Callum__> ruben23: a specially configured Samba server can connect to a Windows Server AD-DS forest (but cannot create one)
[00:40] <ruben23> Callum__: i dont have exisitng AD windows server, just want to start with linux server
[00:40] <Callum__> ruben23: Samba can only create a NT-style domain, not an Active Directory forest
[00:41] <jMCg> Callum__: Samba 4 too?
[00:42] <Callum__> jMCg: I'm pretty sure Samba 4 will be able to create an AD-DS forest...
[00:48] <ruben23>  Callum__:ok so samba 4 can stand alone to be a DC/AD right for my network..?
[00:48] <Callum__> ruben23: not sure, plus Samba 4 is pretty unstable right now...
[00:49] <ruben23> ow ok
[00:49] <ruben23> whatt can you suggest on my requirements..?
[00:50] <ruben23> just do simple directory management for mixed windows and linux client
[01:45] <shizzle> do you guys use Apache MINA FTPServer to allow users to ftp to the apache www directory?
[02:02] <shizzle> what should I use to setup ftp to my apache www share?
[02:05] <jpds> shizzle: vsftpd?
[02:06] <shizzle> ok yeah i instlaled that and can ftp to my box, but goes to users share
[02:07] <shizzle> trying to figure out how to make it go to the apcahe www dir
[02:08] <jpds> shizzle: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[02:41] <Sattvic> Anyone have experience with Eucalyptus?
[02:44] <Sattvic> I have a few easy questions for a server admin...
[02:50] <lullabud> looking for a good network based enterprise backup solution.  anybody have suggestions?
[02:52] <Sattvic> @lullabud - not jungledisk - way too slow
[02:53] <lullabud> hah, good to know, Sattvic.  i'll stay away from them.
[02:54] <lullabud> i 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] <lullabud> i am hoping to do something with rdiff-backup to an offsite long-term archive.
[02:54] <lullabud> or something to that effect...
[03:35] <shizzle> How can I make all files in a directory inherit permissions from it's directory?
[03:51] <ubuntuNewBe> hey is this where I can get some help for server applications?
[03:55] <lullabud> ubuntuNewBe: yes
[03:58] <ubuntuNewBe> ty lullabud, does anybody here have experience with ssl certs that can answer a question or two?
[04:00] <lullabud> ubuntuNewBe: fire away
[04:01] <ubuntuNewBe> I am trying to understand a couple of lines of ssl code on one of the ubuntu pages.
[04:01] <ubuntuNewBe> what do these 2 lines mean? openssl req -new -key smtpd.key -x509 -days 3650 -out smtpd.crt # has prompts
[04:01] <ubuntuNewBe> openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650
[04:01] <ubuntuNewBe> does the 2nd line create a self signed cert?
[04:01] <ubuntuNewBe> lullabud, does this line create a root self-signed cert?  openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650
[04:03] <ubuntuNewBe> I got this line from the instructions to enable ssl on postfix from this page:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
[04:03] <lullabud> ubuntuNewBe: no, a certificate will usually have .crt for its file extension
[04:03] <lullabud> here is a tutorial you can check out - http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_test_certificate.html
[04:04] <lullabud> you're almost there with what you got
[04:04] <lullabud> the's just the last line:  openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
[04:04] <ubuntuNewBe> lullabud, like i said I got this from a ubuntu help page for postfix mail server.  So is this cert secure or not?
[04:05] <lullabud> ubuntuNewBe: it looks like it's not a certificate, just a request and a private key
[04:05] <lullabud> you still have to generate your certificate
[04:06] <ubuntuNewBe> oh 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.crt
[04:06] <lullabud> crt is a certificate.  csr is a certificate signing request, and .pem is a key store
[04:06] <lullabud> yes
[04:06] <ubuntuNewBe> so is that a secure crt?
[04:07] <ubuntuNewBe> or does it have to signed by a root cert first?
[04:07] <lullabud> you know, i'm not the best with ssl, so i can't answer these questions with certainty
[04:07] <lullabud> but, it looks like that's a valid self signed cert
[04:07] <ubuntuNewBe> okay, no problem
[04:07] <lullabud> or, rather, it will be.
[04:07] <ubuntuNewBe> thanks
[04:07] <lullabud> de nada
[04:07] <lullabud> good luck with that
[04:08] <ubuntuNewBe> I apprecate the info, and the link
[13:12] <mrcoodles> hello , im trying to setup zoneminder under ubuntu server 9.1 with a simple webcam. i've managed to save jpegs from the webcam using fswebcam. is there a way i can pipe the output of fswebcam to something that can do streaming for zoneminder ?
[13:23] <twb> mrcoodles: what kind of stream does zoneminder expect?
[13:28] <mrcoodles> a lot of stuff i suppose, source type is file , local, remote or ffmpeg
[13:29] <twb> Sounds like you need to understand what those mean
[18:43] <gop-> how do I rename a user I just created in ubuntu server
[18:43] <gop-> via cli
[18:43] <gop-> useradd -???
[18:46] <Aison> is it possible to install ubuntu server with legacy grub?
[18:46] <Aison> and not grub2?
[19:21] <sherr> gop-: usermod modifies user accounts. But I don't think you can rename a user. maybe delete the user and re-create for that.
[19:28] <alonswartz> hey guys, I just asked this question in #ubuntu-ec2 but maybe one of you know, is there any work being done to automount ebs volumes via udev (on ec2 instances)?
[19:28] <frojnd> hey
[19:34] <frojnd> I'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] <frojnd> Not just for this line, for may lines that are within ~/.recently-used
[19:49] <frojnd> any ideas'
[19:49] <frojnd> ?
[20:08] <frojnd> I got it with cut :)
[20:08] <frojnd> cat ~/.recently-used | grep '<URI>' | sort -d | cut -c 13- | cut -d "<" -f1
[20:50] <steph_uniko> http://apache.pastebin.ca/1839946 <-- got this when trying "apt-get install apache2" (done "apt-get update" before) - running 9.10. any good advises? thanks :)
