crmccrearyAnybody free to help diagnose a dns problem?05:28
twb!anybody05:28
ubottuA high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll.05:28
crmccrearyOK. First time irc user. I have been using a server for DHCP and dynamic DNS with BIND for some time. I "demoted" the server to a dhcp client when I purchased a new server. The new server works great, al the clients are resolveable *except* the old dhcp server. I thought that I've scrubbed it clean but  when restarting networking, I keep getting "DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.59.3 (192.168.59.2) from 00:06:4f:4f:59:2f via eth1"05:36
crmccrearywhere 192.168.59.2 was the old static ip of the old server and is now the new static ip of the new server. I've assigned 192.168.59.3 in dhcpd.conf:05:36
crmccrearyhost pe4400.crmeng.lan {05:36
crmccreary  hardware ethernet 00:06:4f:4f:59:2f;05:36

crmccreary  default-lease-time 86400;05:36
crmccreary  max-lease-time 86400;05:36
crmccreary}05:36
twbSo what's the problem05:37
crmccrearyThe old server's name pe4400  is not resolveable anywhere except on itself.05:37
crmccrearyIt gets the right ip address, but bind ignores it. I've added "send host-name "<hostname>";" to the old server's dhclient.conf to no avail05:39
twbYou understand that host names provided by DHCP clients, don't necessarily propagate to the DNS server?05:46
crmccrearyYes, but the server is set up for dhcp/dns server with dynamic dns (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=730717 for an example set up). All of the dhcp clients are resolveable by their FQDN's *except* the old server. I'm not using caching, so where is the "memory" of the old server's MAC coming from?05:52
twbIs the old server acting as a DHCP client?  Is it an *ubuntu* (not debian) server?05:54
crmccrearyYes05:54
twbThe format "<hostname>" is an ubuntu-specific patch05:54
twbcrmccreary: OK, not sure then05:54
twbI use dnsmasq, not bind, so I'm not sure how to do much more diagnostics05:55

chris-hey all09:07
chris-i have the following problem: i have installed another ubuntu server 10.04 LTS , i had a problem connecting via putty over ssh ( always said access denied ). then i set protocol to v2 only and it worked but after a while i get a network error message and putty disconnects, then i cant connect anymore no matter what protocl version i chose i always get a access denied error after auth09:09
sorenchris-: If I had to guess (and I guess I do), you have another host with the same IP on the network.09:13
sorenchris-: ..and the fact that changing to v2 fixed it is a coincidence.09:13
sorenchris-: The disconnection is caused by the other host suddenly getting the network packets and sending back an RST (because it doesn't recognise the connection).09:14
sorenchris-: ..and now you're back to not being able to auth because you're talking to a host different from the one you're expeting.09:14
sorenexpecting, even.09:14
sorenI can't quite explain why you're not getting SSH host key errors, though.09:15
sorenAre these machince built from an image?09:15
sorenchris-: So they could potentially have the same SSH host key?09:15
chris-soren, no its a fresh install09:17
chris-soren, when i reboot the server i can connect to it again until i get disconnected for some reason ( maye after about 30mins )09:18
chris-soren, funny u seem to be right09:23
chris-i am installing the machine remote and have been given the ip configuration i should make by the admins09:24
chris-soren, seems like they made a mistake , i shut down the server and can still ping the ip adress, so theres probably another device here09:24
chris-soren, u were right just called the admin and he made a mistake - theres another device with this ip haha. funny i didnt think of this myself. thanks a lot mate ;)09:29

wiplynxman, what is the "good" way for making a back-up. right now i have all my sites, database, but not sure if i have all my apache conf, ftp user conf etc...14:25
lynxmanwip: I'd rsync the whole structure to another disc, also mysqldump your databases, keep a separate copy of /etc as well and of your user data14:26
lynxmanwip: as a paranoid that's the kind of backup I'd do14:26
wiplynxman, sadly the other disk is full (the back-up disk)14:27
yaksterwhat address do I need to have on my hostile? just the local private IP and the name associated with it correct?14:28
lynxmanwip: then connect another one? :)14:28
wiplynxman, good advice sadly i don't want to paid my hosting cie to install a new disk14:29
wipwould it be possible to backup an image of my entire system within the same hd (i have plenty of space)14:30

yaksternm I got it….14:31
yaksterthanks all14:31
wipi have no other choice... sadly - i'm a poor fake sysadmin14:31
wipis this line ok to backup before do-release-upgrade? tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /14:36
lynxmanwip: do that, then also a separate tar of /etc another of your web content and a mysqldump of your BBDDs (or pg_dump in your case)14:37

smoserjamespage, still around ?15:45
jamespagesmoser: yep15:46
smoseri ran a test like : execute_ubuntu_ec2_test.py simple-user-data --tests=./ec2-automated-tests --release=oneiric --storage=ebs --region=us-east-1 --arch=amd64 --debug15:47
smoserhaving modified global/archs.yaml to say 't1.micro' for default size15:47
smoserthe instance went to started, then to stopped, then started, but then back to stopped15:48
smoserit did not go to terminated15:48

jamespageah - are you running that on natty or oneiric?15:49
jamespagestarted-stopped-started-terminated would be normal15:49

smoserrunning a test of oneiric on my oneiric machine15:50
smoserthat log is cleaned a bit... i tried to strip out boto debug15:50
smoserand it just now happened again15:51
jamespagesmoser: did boto get an upgrade this release? I remember having todo something hacky with terminate/stop before15:51
jamespageinfact I know it did15:51
jamespagefwiw I've only ever run the ec2-tests from natty15:52
jamespageso that might be making a difference.15:52
smoserboto did upgrade 1.9b-1ubuntu5 in natty, and 2.0-0ubuntu1 in oneiric15:53
jamespagesmoser: it looks like that part of the api has changed - there is now a terminate method which did not exist before15:55
SlimGPHP complains that it cannot find the imagecreate() function I'm using, phpinfo() says GD is enabled, ubuntu server 10.04 with apache2 and php515:55
smoserright.15:55
smoserjamespage, i'll try to monkey patch the test suite to account for that15:56

smoserjamespage, doc merge proposal at https://code.launchpad.net/~smoser/ubuntu-server-ec2-testing/doc-updates/+merge/7930415:56
jamespagesmoser: thanks for that - it really needed doing15:57
jamespagesmoser: the stop command for ebs instances in PHASE_3 could also be updated as well15:57
jamespageI'm happy to move the minimum release requirement forwards BTW15:57
jamespageits not hassle15:58
smoserjamespage, so we think that boto.ec2.instance.stop() on natty would terminate ?16:05
smoserand on oneiric it 'stop'16:05
smoserright?16:05

smoseri put that in /etc/init, and then ran 'sudo start testme'.  that wrote to /tmp/testme.log.  I got the pid that was in /tmp/testme.log and killed it (sudo kill).16:42
smoserand after the kill, post-stop, pre-start, start, and post-start all get called16:43
donspauldingsmoser: my question regards exec'ing a daemon within the pre-start.16:43
smoseroh.. i see. i thoguht you were just asking if it would run pre-start on 'respawn'16:44
smoseri would doubt that it would handle the respawn of jobs started in a pre-start.16:45

RoyKkoolhead17: I'm talking about LTS, lucid17:34
koolhead17RoyK: i meant coming one!! :)17:35
RoyKthings should be _stable_ in an LTS17:35
RoyKin Hardy it was all fine17:35
RoyKin Lucid, things got a bit complicated17:35
patdk-wkya, too earily upstart migration :(17:35
RoyKindeed17:35
* RoyK just has to try 11.10 on his home server to get Xen - talking about cutting edge.....17:36
patdk-wkroyk, I'm bad17:36
patdk-wkI haven't used anything other than maverick and lucid currently17:37
KM0201i'm gonna put 11.10 on my server in a little bit.17:37
patdk-wkonly lucid on servers17:37
KM0201i'l go to LTS w/ 12.04, and stay there a while17:37
patdk-wkbut I do test all iso's for all ubutu versions17:37
patdk-wkjust don't use them, just test17:37
patdk-wkthings will get fun when 12.04 comes out17:37
patdk-wkI'll have to start building 10.04 and 12.04 packages for all my custom stuff17:38
patdk-wkhoping 12.04 is nice, I'll upgrade to it quickly17:38
RoyKpatdk-wk: for workstations, we upgrade rather often. that may change after 12.04, but then, I beleive we said that before 10.04 came out :P17:38
patdk-wkI'm still using 10.04 for workstations, (except my netbook, cause I tried maverick on it, just haven't bothered hardly use it)17:38
koolhead17RoyK: it takes time, after all we are rapidly going there :P17:38

shennygthanks RoyK17:41
patdk-wkroyk, local user is not needed at all17:41

dnmonsHi all. Is it possible to do SSH attack throttling as explained here > http://my.opera.com/TMS/blog/show.dml/194002 using Ubuntu’s ‘Uncomplicated Firewall’?17:47
aaabbbccchi everyone17:47
RoyKdnmons: I just use denyhosts17:47
RoyKdnmons: a bit more nazi, but works well17:48
patdk-wkdnsmons, there are many ways to do it using ufw, but they aren't very smart, as they don't know a good vs bad connection17:48
RoyKdnmons: and then, it's distributed, so the usual suspects are denied early17:48
patdk-wktherefor I normally use fail2ban17:48
RoyKpatdk-wk: fail2ban < denyhosts17:48
patdk-wkdenyhosts isn't dynamic17:49
patdk-wkor are you talking about some program?17:49
patdk-wknot hosts.deny17:49
aaabbbcccI have a question about dovecot-auth & postfix, after a recent update (I believe) no node is made at /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth17:49
RoyKpatdk-wk: it uses hosts.deny, but it updates it dynamically for sure17:49
RoyKpatdk-wk: apt-cache search denyhosts :P17:49
dnmonswhat are the advantages of fail2ban vs denyhost?17:49
aaabbbcccit seems 01-mail-stack-delivery.auth is not loaded anymore17:50
dnmonsI liked the method explained in that blog post because it does’t block, just drop packets and slow things down17:50
patdk-wkwho said you had to just block?17:50
patdk-wkyou can do any number of things, only limited by your creativity and time17:50
patdk-wkbut as that blog is not about linux iptables, not that useful17:51
RoyKpatdk-wk: and yes, denyhosts != hosts.deny even though it uses it (as fail2ban may do if you want to)17:51
patdk-wkya, I'm not a fan of hosts.deny17:52
RoyKwhy not?17:52
patdk-wkthese days I use ipset17:52
patdk-wkand just have a custom rule chain that triggered off it17:52
RoyKhosts.deny does the same job only at a higher level17:53
patdk-wkyep17:53
patdk-wkhigher level, depends on application support for it compiled in, ...17:53
patdk-wkalso only works on the machine the app runs on17:53
RoyKpatdk-wk: how many services do you really check for in fail2ban?17:53
patdk-wkabout 1217:54
patdk-wkacross 30+ servers17:54
RoyKI get your point....17:54
necromancerhi guys, i'm currently running a bunch of JeOS 8.04 VMs on this one VM server, and one app i have to deploy can't run on 817:54
necromancerwhat version of Ubuntu is most like 8.04 in terms of footprint?17:54
patdk-wkroyk, the only thing I don't check with it currently is web logs :)17:54
RoyKnecromancer: with lucid (10.04) you have a "minimal virtual machine" choice in the install menu - that should be rather close to JeOS17:55
necromancerawesome17:55
RoyKmight be a bit bigger, though17:55
patdk-wkmin virtual machine = JeOS17:55
RoyKpatdk-wk: in theory, yes :P17:56
patdk-wkatleast according to the testing I do every month :)17:56
necromanceri mean as long as it's really close17:56
patdk-wkit's suppost to be <500MB17:56
patdk-wkit's normally in the 450MB about size17:56
RoyKnecromancer: it's the smallest one from ubuntu17:56
RoyKnecromancer: a minimal debian install is likely to be half of that17:56
necromancerit's easier for my boss to keep track of the server's size and if it needs hardware upgrades17:56
necromancerRoyK: reeeally17:56
RoyKdebian is very minimal17:57
necromancernow is debian difficult to configure to be very minimal?17:57
RoyKnecromancer: but really, do you need to go that low?17:57
RoyKmost - even cheap VMs - have a few gigs of space17:57
necromancerRoyK: our VMs are 128mb RAM, 8GB HD and using 1 vCPU17:59
RoyKnecromancer: you can go a long way with 8GB18:00
necromanceryeah18:00
RoyKand 128MB should suffice for a small vm18:00
necromancerwell as long as ubuntu 10 can run on those specs we're good i guess18:01
RoyK10.04 will run well on that18:01
RoyKeven a standard install18:01
patdk-wksmallest ram usage I could make ubuntu 10.04 use is 24megs18:01
RoyKnecromancer: I have a few 64MB VMs18:04
RoyKworks18:04
RoyKnecromancer: and on my home server which has plenty of software installed, it's only using 1,6GB for the root18:05
aaabbbccccan someone help me with dovecot sasl / mail-stack-delivery18:06
necromancerRoyK: awesome18:06
aaabbbcccsomehow my mail system stopped working, postfix cannot authenticat imap on dovecot is working fine18:06
aaabbbccc'/var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-aut does not exist anymore it looks like 01-mail-stack-delivery.auth is not loaded, but i do not know why...18:07

Piciaibo: http://packages.ubuntu.com is probably the easiest way.18:08

boxybrownany pam experts?  I have a question about autocreating home directories21:15
boxybrownthis has a pretty good description of it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication21:15
boxybrownbut I have a question about what happens if the home directory is an NFS mount and it happens to not be mounted when a user logs in...21:15

aaabbbccchim I am still struggeling with mail-stack-delivery, SMTP SASL authentication fails, IMAP is accessible. I believe after an update /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth disappeared /etc/dovecot/auth.d/01-mail-stack-delivery.auth  is not included anywhere I believe21:44
=== medberry is now known as med_out
aaabbbcccI really do not understand why the socket at /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth suddenly disappeared, the /etc/dovecot/auth.d section seems to be includen nowhere, and that's the only place dovecot-auth is mentioned (except foor in postfix' config of coursr)22:04
wipback home, time to do a do-release-upgrade from hardy to lucid... wish me luck!22:10
wipoh... This session appears to be running under ssh. It is not recommended to perform a upgrade over ssh currently because in case of failure it is harder to recover. If you continue, an additional ssh daemon will be started at port  '9004'. - Should i wait for the kvm/ip?22:14
wipbut tomorrow is friday night... i wish i could party not do-release-upgrade...22:14
JanCwip: the additional ssh daemon should help with recovering, and in any case I hope you're running the upgrade script in a screen session?22:16

wipJanC: what do you mean "screen session" - i am connected from my ubuntu box via ssh to my server located somewhere in the world22:16
JanCwip: do you use 'screen' or 'byobu' on the server?22:17
aaabbbcccI believe /etc/dovecot/auth.d/01-mail-stack-delivery.auth should be included in dovecot's auth default {....} section right?22:17
JanC(byobu being an andvanced config for screen, actually)22:17
wipJanC: i'm using Gnome Terminal... not sure if it's a stupid answer22:18
JanCwip: I mean server-side22:18
wipJanC: hardy default via ssh22:19
wipJanC: no gui just pure ssh22:19
wipwhat are the chance of successfully do-release-upgrade from hardy to lucid (i'm choking)22:19
wip> 60% or < 40%22:20
JanCnot sure22:20
JanCbut using screen on the server will certainly help a lot22:21
wipwhat i fear the most: you may need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the default boot kernel to the newly installed 10.04 kernel. If this step is not performed your server may attempt to boot into the 8.04 LTS kernel and will hang.22:21
JanCif you run do-release-upgrade from the plain ssh session, it will most likely be killed when the connection gets lost, leaving you with a halfway upgraded system...22:22
JanCwip: that sounds like something you can check before reboot22:23
wipJanC: yes22:24
JanCwip: and you should certainly read about screen if you don't know it yet  ☺22:24
* wip is reading http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_screen22:24
JanC(and 'byobu' too, but I don't think it existed at hardy time)22:25
JanC'byobu' makes 'screen' easier to use22:25
* kirkland high fives JanC ;-)22:26
aaabbbcccsorry to be a bit of e nuisance, but I cannot fix my postfix/dovecot setup, /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth does not get created since today22:27
aaabbbcccso SASL does not wrk for postfix22:27
JanCwip: kirkland is byobu's main author  ;-)22:27
* wip high fives kirkland22:28
JanCkirkland: I think byobu isn't available in the hardy repositories, right?22:28
JanCin any case, plain screen should be22:29
JanC9.0422:30
kirklandJanC: wip: there is an older, backport of byobu available in ppa:byobu/ppa22:31
kirklandJanC: wip: it's not the latest/greatest, but it should be functional22:31
JanCkirkland: that reminds me, I have a little "script" in ~/.byobu/bin that might be useful for other people too; it just runs 'wget -q -O - http://www.myexternalip.com/raw', which fetches the "external" IP when you are behind a NAT (sometimes that's useful...)22:34
JanCnot sure if that would be useful as one of the default status items?22:35
JanC(default = included)22:35
kirklandJanC: oh, neat22:36
JanCnot sure if querying a third party without asking is a good idea anyway22:36
JanCand that site only supports IPv422:37
kirklandJanC: i could make that a configuration option22:37
kirklandJanC: as currently, the ip_address item supports a few different methods to get that22:38
aaabbbcccfor dovecot/postfix/sasl with mail-stack-delivery installed should I just include auth.d/*.auth in conf.d/10-master.conf?22:38
kirklandJanC: would you file a bug against byobu with that info?22:38
kirklandJanC: i know how we could do that cleanly22:38
JanCwhat do you want the bug report named?  ☺22:40
