[07:51] you are using dovecot 1.0 [07:51] oh :( [07:52] but you can use the cmusieve plugin and use another managesieve implementation [07:52] hrm [07:52] can you point me to some docs or give me some ideas on what and how?

[08:01] jussi: and BTW: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/pysieved http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/pysieved [08:01] you can always do a backport [08:01] joschi: I would much prefer to use something from the repos. (Im sorry if this came across the wrong way, I did read the wiki page) [08:03] Hi, when I install openldap why there is no configuration questions asked like this : http://imagebin.org/105899 I'm on 10.04 btw [08:06] rahman: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html [08:10] joschi: I already read it the problem is when I do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd" it doesnt ask for domain name, organisation name, admin password, backend db etc. It only asks if I want to keep db when I purge slapd and if I want v2 compatiblity [08:10] hi [08:11] is there a way to install php5.3 and php5.2 on one machine without having to compile it from source? [08:11] rahman: and where in the guide I posted does it say, that something like this should happen? or that there's a debconf frontend for openldap at all? [08:12] spajderix: if you find a .deb package providing a non-conflicting PHP installation: sure, then it's possible [08:12] spajderix: out-of-the-box with only official ubuntu packages: no [08:14] joschi: it says in the installation section : "The installation process will prompt you for the LDAP directory admin password and confirmation. .......If you require a different suffix, the directory can be reconfigured using dpkg-reconfigure." [08:14] rahman: the installation process of libnss-ldap... not slapd [08:16] rahman: and to be quite frank, I can't find the quote you posted on https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html [08:16] joschi: then compilation awaits me ... thanks for your help:) [08:17] spajderix: at least you only have to compile only one of the two versions yourself ;) [08:18] joschi: thanks for the hint it seems I am reading 9.10 docs. [08:19] rahman: oh, that's bad. the ubuntu 9.10 docs on openldap were/are really broken. there's already a "popular" bugreport on launchpad on this [08:20] joschi: that's what i thought of, i guess 5.3 from repo and 5.2 from source will be easier since I want to use 10.04 :) [08:20] joschi: bad luck :) I did a google search and didn't notice the 9.10 part of the result url [08:21] joschi: another question then: is there a way to get ./compile params for php5.2 used in ubuntu deb package? [08:21] spajderix: just get the source package and take a look at the specs in ./debian [08:22] joschi: ok, thank you for your time :) [08:41] my ldap setup seems completely messed up: I get ldap_*: Internal (implementation specific) error (80) when I try to add ldif. opensldap FAQ says its a permission problem and when I do "chmod -R openldap:openldap /var/lib/ldap" I get chmod: invalid mode: `openldap:openldap' I did a purge and reinstall btw. Still no go [08:42] rahman: chown, not chmod [08:51] hi, I have a problem with the a dynamic file template in rsyslog. it seems rsyslogd wants to write to the log files in /var/log/%HOSTNAME% before the directory was created. [08:51] at least in normal mode. in debug mode (`rsyslogd -c4 -d`), it creates the directory just fine. [08:51] I've posted details about my configuration, the error message and part of the debug output under http://pastie.org/1048389 [08:51] it could be related to Bug #484336 and changing the owner of /var/log to the user 'syslog' works, but I'd rather avoid that [08:51] Launchpad bug 484336 in rsyslog "/etc/rsyslog.conf permissions incorrect/missing for creation of dynamic files" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/484336 [09:06] joschi: thanks for your pointers, Ive found a package and installed, just figuring out the configs now :) [09:08] larsemil: someone needs to fix openldap FAQ then :) thanks [09:09] rahman: be a hero and send an email to the author of that FAQ entry with your correction ;) [09:26] looking at: http://isp-control.net/documentation/howto:mail:install_avelsieve_for_webmail - how do I determine the correct UID and GID I need for section 4?

[09:38] its realy getting on my nerves. I can't restart slapd, it complains No configuration directory was found for slapd at /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ even it is there and the permissions are openldap:openldap [09:39] jussi: if the uid and gid are wrong, pysieved simply can't read and/or write the sieve files - or cmusieve can't. but that won't blow up your server [09:39] joschi: ok, great. thank you [09:40] rahman: does it contain the cn=config.ldif file and cn=config subdirectory or is /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ empty? [09:41] rahman: I personally found the cn=config style configuration a major PITA and reverted to good old slapd.conf [09:41] joschi: both files are there [09:41] rahman: especially since the meta backend doesn't support dynamic configuaration yet [09:41] rahman: check /etc/default/slapd for which one is actually used [09:42] rahman: you can't use both at the same time [09:44] joschi: but the openldap wiki encoures to use dynamic conf as they say they can drop old style anytime. And in /etc/defaults/slapd SLAPD_CONF= is empty so it should use /etc/ldap/slapd.d as described in that file. But I set it to SLAPD_CONF=/etc/ldap/slapd.d still same [09:45] rahman: the openldap wiki can say a lot of things. as long as the meta-backend can't be configured that way, I couldn't switch configuration style even if I wanted to [09:55] hrm, so problem now is that pyseived wont start. Ive tried starting it from the init.d script, but it doesnt work, when I run it straight, then: http://paste.ubuntu.com/465815/ [09:58] jussi: "IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/run/pysieved.pid'" is pretty obvious, isn't it? [09:58] joschi: yes, but what do I do about it :D do I just chown the pid or? [09:59] jussi: either create a directory /var/run/pysieved, `chown` it by pysieved's user and create the PID file in this directory, or create the PID file in /tmp (or any other world-writable directory) [10:00] joschi: ahh, thanks [10:16] New bug: #596758 in mod-wsgi (universe) "KeyError in module 'threading' with Python 2.6.5 and mod-wsgi 2.8" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/596758 === bootsandall is now known as Guest51640 [10:34] getting theremow, but Ive now run into: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1048576 bytes) in /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/avelsieve/include/managesieve.lib.php on line 457 [10:37] jussi, the solution to that depends on whether or not the script you're running is supposed to use more than 16 megs of RAM [10:37] if it is, increase the limit in php.ini [10:37] if it isn't, you'll have to find out why it's using that much [10:38] but the amount of bytes exhasted is more than the amount it tried to allocate? is that a cumulative figure?

It fails for me , but after I hit reconfigure again it gets a dhcp ip [10:54] nimrod10: Yes. [10:54] Do you have it connected with a switch with spanning tree enabled? [10:55] The switch usually checks the port for 37 seconds if it won't break anything if it's really enabled [10:55] I have it connected to a cisco switch yes, at the moment I don't have a log in there [10:55] during that time, you do have link, but no connectivity [10:56] Jeeves_, so what you're saying is to disable the spanning tree to fix this ? [10:56] nimrod10: http://www.itsyourip.com/cisco/how-to-enable-spanning-tree-portfast-in-cisco-catalyst-switch-ios/ [10:56] Don't disable spanning tree, enabled portfast [10:56] That will give you a warning [10:57] because portfast introduces risks for spanningtree, but if you're not going to connect that port to another switch, that's ok. [10:58] yes I see , I was reading through the page you gave, me and I seem to recall something I read about blocking vs Forwarding on cisco [10:58] That's spanning tree indeed [10:58] If it's enabled, the port starts in Blocking-mode [10:59] thank you Jeeves_ I'll get the guy with the logins to change that and I'll try it now [11:00] np!

[13:06] if you install iptraf you can see some statistics about your network cards , about the buffer I don't know how you'd see how much data is in it. [13:07] nimrod10: thank you, i'll check..because on the vps panel i can see the used buffer [13:07] so there is a way also on the system i think...maybe some /proc/ value [13:08] cause is useless that they give you 100mbit internet connection if everything stops with buffer full [13:09] i've tried that but it works on localhost and openvpn interface, not on venet0 that's internet... :/ [13:10] I don't know if you should blame it on the net connection, your ssh buffer resides in memory, and that is were the problem lies , some people donwloading stuff can't fill the ssh buffer, they can only fill the memory outside of your buffer [13:11] it's not the ssh buffer, but the network buffer inside the kernel [13:12] i've just told that i can't navigate via ssh tunnel, when the buffer is full also lynx on the vps and wget can't work [13:12] then if the buffer is full other packets get dropped [13:24] How can I connect a Debian bug with an Ubuntu bug?

[23:57] you set the group-owner with chown or chgrp [23:57] and then set the setgid bit with chmod [23:57] right but +s works on files created [23:57] not directories [23:58] work's on directories too [23:58] +s means two different things for files and directories [23:58] on directories it's setgid [23:58] err, nevermind, it's setgid on both [23:58] it just behaves differently [23:58] failover: i mean… if you create a directory in a directory which is +s it doesn't keep +s [23:58] webPragmatist, yes it does [23:59] i just tried it :( [23:59] if it didn't, something else happened [23:59] because it most certainly does [23:59] well then crap
