bluethundr_I am trying to setup a postffix-mysql-courier mail server in an AWS cloud using a RightScale Ubuntu Server 9.10 image ..however it looks like I don't have the apt sources to install the SASL auth modules00:59

ScottKYou do have the right sources.list.01:00
ScottKI'd apt-get update and try again.01:00

bluethundr_that did it... thanks01:03
SamuelPetersonI currently have apache installed on ubuntu and I can not access the server remotely, only from computers connected to my router... I have no idea where to begin with trouble shooting this. I have read a lot about ufw and tried a lot of things, and even disabled it to see if it was the problem... but it's not.02:42
gbear14275hello, I'm trying to setup an ubuntu server as a virtual host and have 2 network connections...  I have connected ethernet cables to both ports but one doesn't seem to be working.  I was hoping someone might be able to point me to a howto which can show me how to setup a server with two nics.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you03:02
bluethundr_I am trying to map several directories (/tmp, /var, /var/logs) to an S3 bucket on EC2. I tried a dry run by setting up the partitions as /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb3 and labelling them with e2label. I am giving them interim names with '2' at the end (e.g. /tmp2) so that I can move the contents of those folders to the right place on the S3 bucket. I created a dry run with /tmp2 in my /etc/fstab (which I backe03:26
bluethundr_d up) but the device will not mouint. Any clues how best to proceed? http://pastebin.ca/186573503:26

LunksHi, I'm trying to install OpenLDAP on my Ubuntu as a LDAP server. I'm not sure about the slapd.d directory structure. Is it fine if I just create directories inside it with names I want or does it follow LDAP structure?04:17

ScottK!weekend | Lunks05:37
ubottuLunks: It's a weekend. Often on weekends the paid developers and a lot of the community may not be around to answer your question. Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would or try again during the working week.05:37
LunksScottK: I'm being patient. It's been a while since I asked and a few people have joined the chat room.05:39
ScottKLunks: Did you look in the Ubuntu Server Guide.  I know it has some openldap stuff.05:40
LunksScottK: Could you hand me a link? I've found it, but it just had 2 chapters.05:40
ScottKLunks: What Ubuntu version are you running?05:41
Lunks9.1005:41
LunksI'm trying to use EBox, Ldap, ldapscripts, anything... but without success so far.05:41

ScottKIn particular https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html#openldap-configuration05:43
ScottKSeem like they are relevant05:44
LunksScottK: thanks a lot!05:44
ScottKYou're welcome.05:45
LunksScottK: so far ebox has been great on me, just checkboxes changing config files I've been struggling with. Hopefully it's the kind of changes I want, not the ones which will make me reinstall. :)05:47
LunksI'll be sure to check the links you provided as well, of course.05:47

RoyKwtf - ubuntu supports arm??13:21
lifelessRoyK: very much so13:23
lifelessRoyK: its a supported arch13:23
lil_cainThat said, ubuntu used to support Sun_4v, and we got pretty badly burned by that. I certainly wouldn't rely on Ubuntu's ARM support.13:26
RoyKseems there's only a netbook release for arm13:26

slipper1024cyrus sasl21:27
ScottKslipper1024: Are you using cyrus sasl or sasl2?21:28
ScottKDapper had both and Hardy only supports sasl221:28
ScottKIt's been years since I was required to care about the details, but there are some changes needed to migrate to cyrus sasl221:29

slipper1024i   libsasl2-221:29
slipper1024installed21:29
ScottKIIRC Ubuntu Server Guide has good instructions for SMTP Auth setup on Ubuntu.21:30
ScottKI don't recall if for Hardy they used Cyrus or Dovecot.21:30
lil_cainI'd use dovecot anyway.21:31
lil_cainoh, smtp auth, not IMAP21:31
ScottKFor SMTAP Auth, dovecot is generally easier to set up, but once you have one working, there's no great reason to prefer one over the other.21:32
lil_cainfor IMAP, I found cyrus to be far faster than dovecot.21:32
lil_cainsorry, other way around.21:32
slipper1024ok, do i have to replace my current courier imap setup with dovecot to use dovecot sasl21:35
slipper1024?21:36

ScottKLook in the server guide.  See help.ubuntu.com21:37
slipper1024looked at guides they do not mention anything to be installed21:38
slipper1024but it could be that they assume using dovecot mail21:38
