hey_joeim trying to setup ldap on 10.04, or 9.10, but the dpkg-reconfigure slapd no longer asks for the password for the admin account to be created... am I missing something or what? all howtos say this, and yet it doesnt exist.01:45
hey_joewhats up with this?01:45
wadHi folks. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 server edition on a new box. It has no network yet (don't ask). The one thing that's blocking me right now is installing mdadm on this box. I know it's on the install CD somewhere, but uncommenting the cdrom source in /etc/apt/sources.list doesn't help; it tried to install, but says it can't find files. Ideas?01:52
* wad looks around hopefully01:54
pmatuliswad: how did you try to install it?01:54
wadapt-get update01:55
wadapt-get upgrade01:55
wadapt-get install mdadm01:55
wad^^01:55
uvirtbotwad: Error: "^" is not a valid command.01:55
pmatuliswad: well, what happened?01:55
wadIt said it would install mdadm, and I confirmed with Y,01:55
wadand then it hit the CD for a moment, and came back with errors about not finding files.01:55
pmatuliswad: maybe pastebin your sources.list file01:56
wadI can go and get the exact errors, they are still on-screen (two floors away; no network; don't ask)01:56
wadIt's a brand new install.01:56
wadAs in, this is the very first thing I tried doing after the install.01:56
wadI need to pull all the files off of a disk from a raid, so that I can configure this box.01:57
wadThat's why I need mdadm. :)01:57
wadThe only line uncommented is the first one, specifying the cdrom as the source.01:58
wadcd /media/apt #this gets me into the CD-ROM, which has files and stuff in it.01:58
* wad goes downstairs to try some more things with it02:00

GorlistHi! running 8.04 with plesk 9.5.2 - last week we've been having allot of denied dns query cache errors cropping up in the logs pointing to various domains. I suspect we are under DNS spoofing attack, searching on google now but can anyone here give any advice on blocking or prevent the problem? fail2ban?10:26
twbIdeally you would first understand the attack.10:28
Gorlistwhere could I find more information out? ive been skimming the logs and the only ref. i can find is in the syslog10:30
twbIs it *your* DNS cache that is being poisoned?  Or are you saying that random people in the internet are having their caches poisoned for your records?10:30
Gorlistone sec, let me paste the error10:30
Gorlistclient 77.255.9.81 query (cache) 'mail.kssogo.com.tw/MX/IN' denied: 1 Time(s)10:30
Gorlistand as a result Im suspect we are outputting packets to other DNS servers10:31
twbWhat is that message from?  bind?10:31
Gorlistyes I believe so. Appears in syslog10:31
Gorlistto be honest im slightly confused by it, I can only seem to trace it back to the bind server10:31
twbWell, some things you can do are 1) turn on more logging in bind; 2) talk to the bind people / read their docs10:32
twbmail.kssogo.com.tw doesn't resolve, here.10:32
twb77.255.9.81 appears to be some Polish host.10:33
Gorlistyes, normally about 5 attempts from each ip to different URLS/DNS10:33
Gorlistand about 10 to 15 attempts during the day10:33
Gorlistokay will check into bind more and see what I can see. I was wondering if I could change the bind ports as well10:34
twbAre either 77.255.9.81 or mail.kssogo.com.tw your customers?10:34
Gorlistno, nothing todo with me10:35
Gorlistlet me put a bit in pastebin10:35
Gorlisthttp://pastebin.com/n7bPUnRj10:35
Gorlistthats over period of 24 hours..10:35
twbIt sounds to me like you're (ab)using bind both outward-facing, serving your DNS records, and inward-facing, serving other people's records to your LAN.10:35
Gorlisthmm slightly worrying.10:36
twbAnd bind is (correctly) telling random strangers on the internet to go to hell, when they ask your bind to resolve something for them.10:36
Gorlistright,10:37
Gorlistthats given me something to look for atleast. Thank you10:37
twbWell, you could just host your DNS records elsewhere, and close that port on the internet-facing interface.10:37
Gorlisthow do you mean host elsewhere?10:37
twbI mean zonedit or dyndns or similar.10:37
GorlistI agree though closing or adjust ports is the quickest temp solution until I can figure out it further10:38
Gorlistokay10:38
twbIf you aren't hosting your own records, there's no reason that port should be open in the first place10:38
Gorlistim hosting our own10:39
Gorlist17 domains10:39
twbThen you should know bind better ;-P10:39
Gorlist :) I should know lots of things better, but im human after all :)10:39

drurewHey people...I need a bit of help running a network mapper on a remote interface...anyone know where to start on "forwarding a local script to a remote interface"? More specificly Im trying to map our network, and to get the best results I would like to sniff the gateway...the gateway however is a junos (juniper). I have ssh but no method to run (or install) the libs or script.10:44
Jeeves_drurew: Create a mirrorport on your switch10:46
drurewthanks Jeeves_10:47
Jeeves_the router will probably not show you traffic other than traffic directed to the router itself10:47
Jeeves_To the Routing Engine, that is10:47
drurewcant I just do it via ssh ?10:48
drurewis it possible ?10:48
twbdrurew: I don't think that makes sense10:52
Jeeves_drurew: If it works, it will probably break your router because it's too busy tcpdumping :)10:57
drurewyeah Im seeing that...theoreticaly I dont need to sniff the GW...I could also just sniff a central utility server10:57
twbtcpdump is sufficient to capture a pcap, which you can push out over a different interface to a host with nonvolatile storage, and then run tshark on it to analyse it.11:02

rbergersmoser it seems to imply that only the hostname part is addressed not the FQDN20:59
smoseri'm not sure i follow20:59
smoserread comment 10.21:00
smoserif you want a FQDN in the hostname field, then you have to enable dns in eucalyptus21:00
rbergersmoser, the last entry says " set hostname to a hostname-like value (ip-W-X-Y-Z)  if instance metadata includes a ip address rather than a hostname"21:01
hallynsmoser: JINKEYS!  well, the multiboot.bin installed by my modified package (which doesn't work) is exactly the same (per sha1sum) as the one compiled by kvm-git (which does work)21:01
hallynso that commit does need to be there, and i'm now just onto a different bug21:02
rbergersmoser right now on my Unbutu 10.4 with latest patches hostname returns euca-172-19-1-2, but hostname -f returns "hostname: Name or service not known"21:04
smoserrberger, so, i think that to address that you'll have to run eucalyptus dns service.21:06
rbergersmoser, I am running the Eucalyptus DNS service as per their wiki. They don't implement PTR yet.  Could someone give me a hint where hostname gets set when booting as a UEC eucalyptus instance? I can at least hack around things and get on with my work if I knew that.21:07
smoserrberger, it is set by cloud-init (assuming you're using a Ubuntu lucid guest)21:07
smoseri think /usr/bin/cloud-init iirc21:08
rbergersmoser I'll take more of a look into cloud-init. I was poking around there and couldn't figure out if that was actually doing it or not.. Thanks21:09
