| osmosis | soren, kirkland: your comments appreciated, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/671163 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/668042 | 00:27 |
| uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 671163 in qemu-kvm "win2k3 guest has blank screen and high cpu on first boot" [Undecided,New] | 00:27 |
| smoser | erichammond, yeah, you made a good argument. it *is* a change, though, there is no ignoring that. | 00:41 |
| smoser | if it was done in a package, it would have to go through SRU. | 00:41 |
| erichammond | smoser: And I'm often on the other side arguing against change :) | 00:41 |
| smoser | if the installer wanted to change the default filesystem, there would need to be a decision officially ack'd | 00:41 |
| smoser | i think that is basically the same thing as here. there is good reason, but it needs to be considered. | 00:42 |
| erichammond | smoser: I'm happy with the file system matching what you would get with the standard Ubuntu server. I like consistency. | 00:42 |
| smoser | right. i'm just saying, this change is basically a change to the defaults in an installer. | 00:43 |
| erichammond | smoser: Disk size is more like hardware to me than software. Pick an AMI chooses the software parameters and a couple hardware ones. | 00:43 |
| erichammond | (architecture 32-bit vs. 64-bit, and root disk size) | 00:43 |
| erichammond | smoser: I guess AMIs can also affect what other disk devices are available, too: ephemeral storage, other EBS volumes created from snapshots. | 00:45 |
| smoser | i really dont like setting precedent that we react to somewhat arbitrary external events (like one that would allow customers to save $6.00 per year) | 00:47 |
| smoser | but other than that, I think its the right decision | 00:47 |
| smoser | and it will be acked by TB | 00:47 |

| vraa | hi everyone, how can one figure out which apache module is in use out of (mpm_preform_module, mpm_worker_module, mpm_event_module) in a ubuntu-server 10.10 installation | 01:24 |
| vraa | i'm sorry 10.04 | 01:24 |
| twb | vraa: ask dpkg? | 01:25 |
| twb | Usually it will be worker unless PHP has forced the use of prefork | 01:25 |
| vraa | i'm just doing some optimizations of my new vps, and i noticed in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf it has the "if modules" for all 3 listed | 01:26 |
| vraa | how, um, what does it mean to ask dpkg | 01:26 |
| twb | Sounds like you're not sufficiently familiar with the Debian apache setup to safely "optimize" it | 01:27 |
| vraa | haha im not, i am going from googling | 01:27 |
| twb | vraa: google is full of people who don't know anything, too. | 01:27 |
| vraa | yeah that sucks a lot :( | 01:28 |
| vraa | i installed mod_pagespeed today | 01:28 |
| twb | vraa: re dpkg, something like "dpkg -l apache2-mpm-*" should indicate which of the (mutually exclusive) mpm implementations is installed. | 01:28 |
| vraa | gotcha, i was doing dpkg -S, wrong one | 01:28 |
| vraa | sweet i think i have prefork installed | 01:29 |
| vraa | i do have php installed, :( is that bad | 01:30 |
| twb | Well, I don't like it. | 01:30 |
| vraa | any reasons you dont like it | 01:34 |
| twb | Because it's a language made for newbies by newbies. | 01:36 |
| pmatulis | ouch | 01:39 |
| vraa | ouch | 01:40 |
| vraa | what is a good language to write a webapp in? | 01:40 |
| twb | My opinion of web "apps" is about the same | 01:40 |
| twb | But I suppose if I was forced to, I'd be looking at Python in preference to perl, php or java | 01:41 |
| vraa | python > perl > java|php ? | 01:44 |
| vraa | so you can have a python and mysql and apache2 app/ | 01:44 |
| vraa | or i guess, since mysql no longer has innodb, might be wise to move to postgresql | 01:44 |

| arrrghhh | lol | 02:18 |
| arrrghhh | crap... | 02:18 |
| arrrghhh | makes me not want to get rid of password-based logons... | 02:18 |
| JanC | well, the alternative is less security, it's your choice | 02:19 |
| arrrghhh | yea | 02:19 |
| arrrghhh | denyhosts, i'm assuming that would work in either situation? | 02:19 |
| arrrghhh | password or passwordless logins? | 02:19 |
| JanC | you could also carry an ssh key on an USB stick and use that | 02:21 |
| arrrghhh | oic | 02:21 |
| arrrghhh | the server's key yea? | 02:22 |
| twb | That assumes you trust the machine you're putting the USB stick into | 02:22 |
| arrrghhh | lol | 02:22 |
| arrrghhh | i shouldn't be connecting to my server on a machine i don't trust ;) | 02:22 |
| twb | arrrghhh: not the server's host key. Your user's private ssh key. | 02:22 |
| twb | arrrghhh: correct. | 02:22 |
| JanC | a private key with a strong password preferably | 02:22 |
| JanC | and when you lose the usb key, you want to remove the public counterpart from the server ☺ | 02:23 |
| arrrghhh | ah | 02:23 |
| arrrghhh | i will read more on it. | 02:23 |
| arrrghhh | concept always confused me, and i keep revisiting it. | 02:23 |
| JanC | but as twb says, usign an untrusted computer is always bad for security | 02:24 |

| * twb grumbles about plymouth | 02:43 | |
| twb | On my debian netbook, I can add video=LVDS-1:d to the boot options, and the onboard head is disabled (meaning you get native resolution on the external monitor). $coworker can't get it to work in karmic, and I suspect it's because plymouth is modprobing i915.ko by hand before /etc/initramfs-tools/modules takes effect. | 02:45 |

| demonspork | are there any open source packages meant for managing a webserver hosting multiple websites? as in setting up the site with a webform and a paypal button? | 03:14 |
| === FireCrotch is now known as nickmoeck | ||
| twb | apache has been able to host multiple, nominally distinct, websites from the same server for nearly as long as there has BEEN a "world wide web". | 03:49 |
| twb | Oh, you mean a web UI for end users (who don't have root on your webserver) to purchase space for their website? | 03:50 |
| twb | So I asked <vendor> for quotes of 1TB and 2TB HDDs, and they've given me numbers for a 7200 1TB and a 5900 2TB. | 03:54 |
| twb | Am I old fashioned for thinking "WTF is the point of sub-7200rpm in a server"? | 03:55 |
| e_t_ | twb: Do you expect high I/O, or do you just want massive storage? | 03:57 |
| twb | Both :P | 03:58 |
| twb | I mean, surely you can *get* 7200 2TBs | 03:58 |
| twb | FWIW, the workload I'm CURRENTLY speccing for is basically a SOHO server doing nfs/samba/squid/cups/postfix/dovecot, for about two dozen end users. | 04:00 |
| twb | It'll also have a shitty PHP/MySQL timesheeting system, but I still don't expect it to need seriously high I/O. | 04:00 |
| twb | Oh, and add slapd/krb/ssh/openswan to that list. | 04:01 |
| twb | I'm deploying a 10.04 LTS "do everything" server for an office full of VERY heterogeneous sysadmins. Management (linux, not windows, desktops) are pushing for some kind of calendaring "thing", which to them means Zimbra. | 04:56 |
| twb | I *really* don't want to deploy Zimbra, because it insists on its own custom versions of everything from slapd to postfix | 04:56 |
| SpamapS | twb: Kolab has been gaining traction.. not sure if the maverick stuff has been backported to lucid. | 04:57 |
| twb | In my ideal world, there is <some thing> that is implemented on top of stock postfix and slapd, using a commodity interchange format, say emails with iCalendar MIME attachments. | 04:58 |
| twb | It'd need to work with at least thunderbird and mutt, or (worse) some kind of web UI. | 04:59 |
| SpamapS | I wanted that 10 years ago. | 05:00 |
| SpamapS | I think they call it "google calendar" now. ;) | 05:00 |

| HackeMate | hello | 12:02 |
| HackeMate | is it a bad idea try to install gnome in an ubuntu server? | 12:02 |
| HackeMate | or, simply apt-get install gnome-core could be fair enough? | 12:02 |
| soren | Depends on why you're doing it. | 12:02 |
| HackeMate | i only need a dhcp and samba server | 12:03 |
| HackeMate | i just wanted to know if gnome could networkmanager could break my dhcp | 12:03 |
| soren | If you only need dhcp and samba, why install a desktop? | 12:04 |
| HackeMate | personal reasons | 12:04 |
| soren | I can't advice on your personal reasons, sorry. | 12:05 |
| twb | HackeMate: in #ubuntu-server we advocate learning to administer servers from the CLI. | 12:08 |
| twb | HackeMate: we don't recommend installing a GUI on a server. | 12:09 |
| ScottK | If you want to convert your server to a desktop, just installing Gnome on your server is fine, but further support would be in #ubuntu. | 12:10 |
| HackeMate | it just requires graphic enviroment because im not the only preson who will touch it | 12:12 |
| HackeMate | they need an user, and, i can't force them to learn linux | 12:12 |
| HackeMate | indeed i just can make his life easier with X | 12:13 |
| HackeMate | twb: thanks | 12:17 |
| HackeMate | I guess it will be better if I create some kind of frontend for his routines | 12:17 |
| twb | It is better not to mix server and desktop roles | 12:17 |
| twb | One of my customers had about eight FreeBSD workstations, with daemons spread across them all. It was insane to maintain. | 12:17 |
| twb | Give them a headless box that is "the server", and a bunch of workstations. | 12:18 |
| yann2 | you could put all the services in a kvm vm :) | 12:19 |
| yann2 | would be an interesting approach | 12:20 |

| soren | Ninjix: Uh.... We're following upstream /quite/ closely. | 15:31 |
| Ninjix | I stopped using libvirt and just started working with direct kvm | 15:31 |
| ivoks | yes we are | 15:32 |
| ivoks | i had problems with boot=on in qemu | 15:32 |
| ivoks | qemu doesn't work with it | 15:32 |
| Ninjix | ah... ok. I was speaking without having checked :) | 15:32 |
| ivoks | couple of months passed before redhat acknowledged there's a bug :) | 15:32 |
| ivoks | i'll start all over | 15:37 |
| ivoks | disk image was created by vmbuilder | 15:37 |
| Ninjix | ivoks: pastebin your ps aux | grep kvm > foo.txt | 15:39 |
| ivoks | i've pasted the command on pastebin | 15:40 |
| ivoks | it's missing boot=on | 15:40 |
| ivoks | that's the problem | 15:40 |
| Ninjix | didn't see the past for the libvirt generated kvm command | 15:41 |
| Ninjix | only the xml | 15:41 |
| ivoks | 16:27 < ivoks> http://pastebin.com/eNNbWkFh | 15:42 |
| Ninjix | yeah... no doubt about it | 15:43 |
| Ninjix | maybe give the PPA a whirl? | 15:45 |
| ivoks | if reinstall doesn't work, i will | 15:46 |
| ivoks | :) | 15:46 |
| ivoks | reinstall of VM | 15:46 |

| hxm | I have installed dhcp3 and I manage a subnet, I want to store all dhcpd log stuff in /var/log/dhcpd/dhcpd.log, so I added the line log-facility local7; to the dhcpd.conf and added a line local7.* /var/log/dhcpd/dhcpd.log at rsyslog.conf | 16:08 |
| hxm | I read in some tutorials I should do it in syslog.conf but I don't have that file, I guess it must exist in somewhere else | 16:09 |

| databits | does anyone know of bandwidth monitoring software to run on a ubuntu server, that can be administered and checked through a web portal | 16:43 |
| databits | ? | 16:43 |
| ssureshot | databits: I don't know if you want full feature or not but I'd look into zenoss | 16:45 |
| ssureshot | it can monitor just about anythying you want | 16:45 |
| vraa | maybe munin ? | 16:48 |
| databits | damn they charge :( | 16:48 |
| databits | I need something freeware | 16:48 |
| Pici | Munin is free and open source. | 16:48 |
| Pici | Cacti is as well. | 16:48 |
| ssureshot | I thought it was open source,, zenoss also has a company that will support it that might be what ur looking at | 16:48 |
| ssureshot | nessuss | 16:49 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: fyi, looks like a testsuite issue. earlier libvirt's seemed to be ok with 'virsh domname "uuid"' (where the quotes don't get stripped by the shell) whereas the new libvirt wants 'virsh domname uuid' | 16:49 |
| vraa | i like munin more than cacti, but that's just my preference | 16:49 |
| Pici | Cacti is mostly SNMP related, Munin can pretty much take any datasource if you can write a script/program to get the data. | 16:49 |
| hallyn | jdstrand: hm | 16:50 |
| databits | well basicly I just wanna have something running on my ubutu server where I can have a gui for the bandwidth monitor | 16:50 |
| hallyn | that's kind of weird. why would you not want to allow quotes... | 16:50 |
| jdstrand | *shrug* | 16:50 |
| * hallyn looks through git log | 16:50 | |
| Pici | databits: ntop might do this too, it has been a while since I've played with it though. | 16:51 |
| databits | ok sweet thnx alot | 16:51 |
| ssureshot | I just don't feel like doing work today | 16:52 |
| * jdstrand really needs to convert libvirt-aa-secdriver.sh to python... | 16:53 | |
| === NG_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| databits | ok I got ntop up and running | 16:59 |
| databits | it is telling me that I have to go to http://localhost:3000 | 16:59 |
| databits | I allready have a webserver running on the server | 16:59 |
| SpamapS | yeah thats how it works | 16:59 |
| SpamapS | port 3000 will not interfere with 80 | 16:59 |

| patdk-wk | ssureshot, take the day off and work tomorrow instead? | 17:05 |
| ssureshot | patdk-wk: interesting thought but I think I'd rather finish today and not work tomorrow lol | 17:09 |
| ssureshot | newborn kept me up all last night so I'm a little unmotivated | 17:09 |
| TAO | newborn-congrats! | 17:10 |

| ssureshot | thank you sir | 17:10 |

| === oubiwann-away is now known as oubiwann | ||
| TAO | I would have to look around Webmin to find what script it is... | 17:19 |
| arrrghhh | was that to me? what does webmin have to do with it? | 17:19 |
| TAO | I use webmin to look at my logs. | 17:20 |
| arrrghhh | i use ssh :P | 17:21 |
| arrrghhh | i just don't know what log to look at | 17:21 |
| arrrghhh | message? | 17:21 |
| arrrghhh | er | 17:21 |
| arrrghhh | messages | 17:21 |
| arrrghhh | i don't see it in there... | 17:21 |
| arrrghhh | maybe syslog? | 17:21 |
| TAO | I am looking at my syslog now to see if I can find anyting about init.d | 17:21 |
| === fullgrowncat is now known as jenkinbr | ||
| arrrghhh | i can run the init.d script by hand | 17:22 |
| arrrghhh | i wonder if it doesn't like the screen command in there... | 17:22 |
| ssureshot | arrrghhh; I think it would depend on what your trying to start,, general I would look at syslog.. but the service your starting might have a special log file | 17:23 |
| arrrghhh | rtorrent runs in a screen session. maybe i have to pass a command so the session is immediately daemonized | 17:23 |
| arrrghhh | ssureshot: well it's just one i wrote. | 17:23 |
| arrrghhh | real simple, just designed to start a screen session w/ a python script. | 17:23 |
| arrrghhh | i can run it by hand no problem. just wondering why it failed on boot. | 17:23 |
| ssureshot | ah,, you could try to send stdout and stderr to a log file | 17:24 |
| arrrghhh | so in the command do a > fileanme | 17:24 |
| arrrghhh | s/fileanme/filename | 17:24 |
| ssureshot | > /var/log/file 2&>1 or something like that | 17:24 |
| arrrghhh | kk | 17:25 |
| arrrghhh | going to look at how rtorrent does it | 17:25 |
| arrrghhh | i may just be doing something silly :P | 17:25 |
| ssureshot | does it require to be started after networking ... ? if so change the script to start last in rc1-5.d from say S20script to S99script | 17:26 |
| arrrghhh | yes it would need to be up for networking | 17:26 |
| arrrghhh | ok | 17:26 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: I've committed a change to libvirt-aa-secdriver.sh and it seems to be working now | 17:27 |
| arrrghhh | update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/bot exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) - i did put a -f, i still get this...? | 17:27 |
| arrrghhh | oops. | 17:27 |
| arrrghhh | moved the -f :P | 17:27 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: I'm not sure how much of your time it is worth investigating... you can look at my changes if you want to help narrow it down if you want | 17:28 |
| arrrghhh | ssureshot: to do the update-rc.d and put it at 99... how do i do that? | 17:28 |
| arrrghhh | nvm i think i got it | 17:28 |
| arrrghhh | defaults 99 | 17:28 |
| arrrghhh | k here goes another reboot! | 17:29 |
| hallyn | jdstrand: i'm assuming it's fallout from their (ongoing) switch to the new monitor or whatever they're doing | 17:29 |
| ssureshot | good luck | 17:29 |
| arrrghhh | thx | 17:29 |

| arrrghhh | bah | 17:33 |
| arrrghhh | script still doesn't work | 17:33 |
| arrrghhh | i'm guessing there's an issue with my screen command. | 17:33 |
| arrrghhh | is there something special i need to do to get a screen session running in an init.d script? | 17:34 |
| arrrghhh | my rtorrent init.d script does it, but i'm not following how they do it :P | 17:35 |
| ssureshot | bummer, I can't help with python though.. what about upstart? | 17:35 |
| arrrghhh | well the upstart scripts are just symlinks to init.d scripts... | 17:35 |
| databits | well I found zenoss | 17:36 |
| databits | I'm going to install that instead | 17:36 |
| databits | what is the command to remove ntop | 17:36 |
| arrrghhh | apt-get remove? | 17:36 |
| databits | sudo aptget remove ntop ? | 17:36 |
| ssureshot | sudo apt-get purge ntop | 17:36 |
| arrrghhh | assuming you installed it with apt | 17:36 |
| ssureshot | or remove | 17:36 |
| databits | thanks that is what I figured... it has been so long sense I have been doing with all these linux cli commands | 17:37 |
| ssureshot | arrrghhh: true | 17:37 |
| ssureshot | does the script run fine when you run it manually? | 17:38 |
| arrrghhh | yes | 17:40 |
| arrrghhh | which is why it's so maddening :P | 17:40 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: the remaining failure seems to be due to a too low timeout with pexpect | 17:41 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: so it seems fine functionally at this point (at least for what we test) | 17:41 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: I'm going to review the merge now | 17:42 |
| ssureshot | Id try calling it from upstart,, use something like this... http://pastebin.ca/1983061 | 17:43 |
| ssureshot | you can also use .................start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0) | 17:45 |
| ssureshot | so it starts after networking | 17:45 |
| arrrghhh | i don't know if that's the problem. | 17:45 |
| hallyn | jdstrand: cool, thanks. about to head out for some pho, bbl | 17:46 |
| arrrghhh | ssureshot: when i call it from upstart manually it's fine. | 17:48 |
| arrrghhh | i think my screen command wasn't quite right. | 17:48 |
| arrrghhh | trying again... | 17:48 |
| arrrghhh | works! | 17:49 |
| arrrghhh | my screen command was not correct :D | 17:49 |

| arrrghhh | hey all. i have multiple versions of java installed on my system, some things require 1.5, some require 1.6. how can i ensure programs are using the correct version? i set 1.5 the default as per a guide i was reading, but now a program that requires 1.6 fails... | 19:17 |
| wiredfool | and even more curiouser, I've got 2 identical hosts with the same set of guests, and they're doing the same thing. | 19:22 |
| wiredfool | though one loses a lot more packets than the other. | 19:22 |

| hallyn | i didn't mean for anyone to use it, only to make sure it would build on the build farm - so i'm about to delete it | 19:39 |
| hallyn | i suppose what i ought to do is always immediately *start* with ~serge1 for my tests | 19:40 |

| sherr | lieuwe[49ft]: Howtoforge has a lot of pointers for things like FTP and Samba. Have a look there. | 20:22 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | sherr: in the meantime, i fucked things up :P i should really learn to not touch shit XD | 20:24 |

| sherr | :-) | 20:32 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | currently my first concern is getting this share to work | 20:33 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: the server guide covers that too | 20:33 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: they all asume you use a user structure, this is(should be) a public share, but right now i get acces denied no matter what | 20:37 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: it doesn't accept the password for a local user either | 20:37 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: I have to tell you that I never quite got the hang of windows networking - so I'm familiar with what you experience but cannot help ;-( | 20:38 |

| hallyn | well, not just curious - i'm wondering whether i should use a new, clean branch for the next request | 20:51 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: it'll get squashed in the commit, but it possible to see all your small commits in the history | 20:51 |
| jdstrand | I forget the incantation... bzr log squashes it, there is something else that shows all the little ones | 20:52 |
| hallyn | --include-merges | 20:52 |
| hallyn | ok, thx | 20:52 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: for uber-cleanliness, a separate branch is nice, but not required | 20:53 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: look into log.smbd and maybe log.nmbd.1.gz (you might need zless here) | 20:53 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: log.smbd only contains a copyright notice | 20:55 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: ok, I was only asking because its easier to fix permissions if you know whats wrong | 20:56 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: should i pastebin log.nmbd.1.gz? it doesnt seem to contain anything usefull | 20:56 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: its a compressed file, so I said "use zless" | 20:57 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: i did | 20:57 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: nothing errorlike tho | 20:57 |

| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: please be aware that this in generally a bad idea ™ | 20:59 |
| guntbert | *this is | 20:59 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: the system has only one user, and a share thats within a firewalled network | 21:00 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: i dunno how to otherwise make the share work | 21:00 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | it get permission denied every time now | 21:01 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | (before i could at least read) | 21:01 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: what do you get with ls -ld /var/www ? | 21:01 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: d----w--w- 2 user root 4096 2010-10-23 23:01 /var/www | 21:02 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | odd | 21:02 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | i chown'ed it to user before | 21:02 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: it should be drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-10-05 11:09 /var/www/ | 21:03 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: and how do i do that? | 21:03 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: i don't really get chmod, i'm pretty good at shell stuff, just not chmod | 21:04 |
| segv` | there a way to make a shared /var/cache/apt/archives? | 21:06 |
| wiredfool | lieuwe[49ft]: chmod 755 | 21:06 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: so how do i chmod it correctly | 21:06 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | wiredfool: thanks | 21:06 |
| wiredfool | and chown root:root | 21:07 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | it works | 21:07 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: when you use chmod -v you get feedback | 21:07 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | okay, wth, i can browse it now, but i can't read or write | 21:08 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | wiredfool: do you happen to know anything about smb shares? | 21:09 |
| wiredfool | I tend to avoid them. | 21:09 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | wiredfool: :P | 21:10 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | wiredfool: any idea why i can browse but not read/write files in my share? | 21:10 |
| wiredfool | I wonder if you mucked up items on the inside of the folder as well? | 21:10 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: one way: create a group (webauthors), assign the directory to that group and chmod it to 775, then make your user a member of that group | 21:10 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: i'm not using users for this share, | 21:11 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: I forgot, but the samba system must act as a user to be able to write there | 21:13 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | eh | 21:13 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | there's probably something like a samba group or something | 21:13 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: there's a group called sambashare | 21:14 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: try: chown -v :sambashare /var/www | 21:15 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | guntbert: still no read acces | 21:18 |
| guntbert | lieuwe[49ft]: well I told you about my experience with windows networking/samba - sorry | 21:19 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | indeed | 21:19 |
| lieuwe[49ft] | fudge it, i'm going to netcat my files over to the server | 21:20 |

| demonspork | are there any open source packages meant for managing a webserver hosting multiple websites? as in setting up the site with a webform and a paypal button to get webhosting with FTP/SFTP access? | 22:06 |
| demonspork | or do I have to write my own software that will configure that type of service | 22:07 |
| RoyK | demonspork: I'm quite sure there's a lot of free software for that, but I somehow think that google or some other search engine may give better advice than asking in here | 22:10 |

| Acs | hello! | 23:32 |
| Acs | I have created a new user but did with the useradd and not the adduser | 23:33 |
| Acs | so there is no home folder for the user | 23:33 |
| Acs | is there any problem with deleting and create again the user (this time with adduser) | 23:33 |
| Acs | I ask this because I have already change the mod for some files | 23:34 |
| Acs | making the owner this user | 23:34 |
| Acs | so will the files get somehow mixed up or something? | 23:35 |
| qman__ | Acs, only if the user is given a different UID/GID | 23:38 |
| qman__ | you can specify it as an option to adduser, so that that doesn't happen | 23:39 |
| Acs | aaa ok ok | 23:39 |
| Acs | and how do I get the user uid? | 23:39 |
| qman__ | grep username /etc/passwd | 23:39 |
| qman__ | gives you something like this: | 23:39 |
| qman__ | ryan:x:1000:1000:ryan,,,:/home/ryan:/bin/bash | 23:39 |
| qman__ | first number is UID, second is GID | 23:40 |
| Acs | thanks | 23:41 |
