[03:45] icek, a transparent proxy would make that pretty easy [03:45] ? [03:45] or you could log every single packet on outgoing port 80, lol [03:46] icek: That's legally dubious. [03:46] and port 80 won't capture all the traffic ;). [03:46] this is a home network [03:46] so legality isnt an issue [03:47] khussein, it'll catch enough to make layer 7 filtering still too much work :P [03:47] haha .. well said. [03:50] how would a transparent proxy make that easy c0nv1ct [03:51] icek, it would force all http traffic to go through the proxy and make logging simpler and with less extra data [03:51] logging through iptables would produce way more data than you'd need [03:51] but thats only port 80 traffic? [03:52] well, 443 as well if you tell it to proxy https [03:52] that would still account for almost all traffic since nonstandard port usage isnt very common at all [03:53] plus, you could set it up under the guise of a caching proxy to make everyones intertubes faster ;) [03:54] any specific data you are after or are ya just trying to catch a roomate browsing porn? [03:55] nah my internet is slow and i just wanted to analyze all the traffic flowing without having to do a low level wireshark analysis [03:55] you could even toss privoxy into the mix and provide automatic ad blocking for the entire network [03:56] it seems to get slow at certain times of the day or week and i figured if i logged it all nicely i could maybe see some pattern [03:56] i wouldnt otherwise see [03:56] are you sure it is http traffic causing the slowdowns? [03:56] no i am not sure, which is why i said http traffic plus other web traffic [03:56] http is web [03:56] like all internet traffic [03:56] i mean internet [03:56] so like ports 0 through 65535 [03:56] all packets [03:57] yes [03:57] lol === rmk_ is now known as rmk [03:57] and i dont want so much to log all packets as i want to analyze it and keep statistics [03:57] sounds like what you really need is some traffic shaping [03:58] it'd just be nice to know how much of each type of packet is going through (like based on port) and based on comptuer [03:58] so see how many packets per port overall and how many packets per port per computer over all [03:58] or something like that [03:58] but really mostly what i need is to know how many mbs of traffic over a given time period each computer uses [03:58] so i can figure out whose draggin the network down [03:59] look into vnstat then [04:00] that might be simpler than logging packets and trying to sort through that data [04:02] cooool [04:02] apt-get install vnstat?

[08:52] !webmin [08:52] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [08:53] Eventyret: as I said yesterday, it really isn't too much work to learn the basics, and you'll get far further with learning the command line than trying to use some web gui [09:04] RoyK: well i got the FTP up on my user so im getting there xD [09:04] :) [09:06] RoyK: so what you up to today ? [09:13] hello, I have installed a dhcp server in an ubuntu 7, it is very old, so I want upgrade it, my question is: is possible run a liveCD with the dhcpd.conf on the fly? [09:16] possible but inadvisable, since a power failure or other cause for a reboot would deconfigure your DHCP server, breaking your network [09:17] I suggest you back up your confiugration file, install 10.04, and set it up [09:21] it will be for a few hours only [09:21] if it will work is ok [09:21] thansk [09:21] so, thanks [09:21] no problem, setting it up is just the same as an installed server [09:21] apt-get the packages, drop in the files [09:33] qman__: another quick question, i have a dhcp server in an ubuntu server, but this server does only run the dhcp process [09:33] do i need the server version really? [09:35] hi guys. I've got a server with several users. What's the best solution to restrict those users' privileges? chroot them to their own home dir? or any better ways? [09:37] HackeMate, that's a reason to run the server version over the desktop version [09:37] less overhead, less going on [09:38] NetworkManager can easily get in the way of anything networking related, DHCP included [09:39] though, running ubuntu _just_ to do DHCP is quite a waste [09:40] nearly anything with ethernet can pull that off === _Techie_ is now known as _TechAway_ [09:43] hggdh: If you didn't work it out yet, it's too late, I'm afraid.

[10:04] HackeMate: apt-get install dhcp3-server [10:06] is there a "howto" how i can install ubuntu server without cd-rom? [10:08] HorzA: there are several - you can use PXE, which requires a little work, but should be easy when it's installed, or you can use an usb pen [10:09] HorzA: it's pretty well detailed here how to use a USB drive http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download [10:09] i have made a usb but during installation it keeps asking where the cd-rom is [10:09] huh? [10:45] trying to install server without cdrom on the computer [10:51] <\sh> HorzA: netboot is your friend :) [10:52] Hi [10:52] netboot quite complex as you need another computer/server for that... usb usually works, that's how I installed my netbook :) [11:01] so it isn`t possible to install from usb?

Is it done w/ the alternate CD? Could someone send me a URL w/ the most recent 10.04 documentation on doing this?
