jMCgServer is running, /etc/exports hasn't changed, and no other file has. mount.nfs says Connection timed out. Firewall is currently inactive, I'm still setting up the servers.00:38

TimR_Hi Guys I am just wondering if anybody can tell me how to setup a userpage as domain.com/~username  ?02:49
wo0fapache config02:50
JanCTimR_: with Apache that's basic configuration stuff?  (used to be enabled by default even)02:50
TimR_what am I looking at in the apache config file or what do I need to do02:51
wo0fmake your file in sites-available02:51
wo0fthen link it in sites-enable02:52
JanChttp://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir02:52
JanCTimR_: you need to enable mod_userdir (if it isn't already) and set the directory in the users $HOME that contains the files to be served02:53
TimR_alright02:53
TimR_Thanks Janc and wo0f02:53
JanCactually, UserDir can be outside the user's $HOME02:54
JanCbut that's how it started  ;)02:55
wo0fTimR_, just copy and edit the default file02:55
TimR_well see that is the next question what would I be adding or editing to the file?02:56
JanCwo0f: I doubt the default vsite enables this02:56
wo0fmake a new one02:56
wo0f"TimR" for instance02:56
TimR_ok02:57
wo0fthen create a symbolic link of your file in the sites-enabled folder02:57
TimR_what info needs to be in there?02:57
wo0fum02:57
JanCTimR_: it might be useful to read /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz02:57
wo0fdocument root is where the files are02:58
TimR_ok02:58
JanCand i would suggest using the a2* tools instead of manually creating symlinks  ;)02:58
wo0fJanC, a"* tools?02:59
JanCa2dismod   a2dissite  a2enmod    a2ensite02:59
wo0foh well yeah02:59
wo0fi usually just ln -s :P02:59
wo0fJanC, good tip tanks03:00
TimR_Alright I have a other question how do you limit the size of home directory the user can have?03:23
TimR_like only 50meg03:23
qman__disk quotas03:26
TimR_thanks03:28

RoyKtesting one two11:13
patdk-laproyk, no idea, only used partitions11:39
RoyKpatdk-lap: I resorted to setting up a simple encrypted home dir with a New And Improved Password inspired by http://xkcd.com/936/11:57
patdk-lapya, the password min requirements checker I setup handles both of those11:59
patdk-lapif it's short, it must be mixed case and numbers and symbols12:00
patdk-lapthe longer it is, you can get away with all lower case only12:00
patdk-lapit just makes sure there is x entropy available12:00
patdk-lapbut I haven't seen anyone using long passwords yes12:00
patdk-lapmy passwords are normally mixed case,symbols and about 15-20 long12:01
RoyKI just used a rather understandable, but hardly common, phrase in my language12:02
RoyKpatdk-lap: how is this password requirement setup?12:02
patdk-lapmine are just patterns on the keyboard12:03
patdk-lapyou give me a strange keyboard layout, heh, I can't type it in12:03
jMCgI use long gibberish phrases that I come up when I'm high on HATE for passwords and people dreaming up password restriction rules.12:03
RoyKmy point exactly - I switch between keyboard layouts regularly, so I need something simple12:03
RoyKjMCg: lol12:04
patdk-lapjmcg, ya, I try to make it as unrestrictive as possible12:04
patdk-lapbut people just love to use, password, their name, ....12:04
patdk-lapya, I had to get creative in checking that their username wasn't in their password12:04
RoyKwe had a change-password-every-month policy at work until recently - boss changed that when he became aware of the consequences - people either write down their password or just use blah<int> and increase the number12:05
patdk-lapamonth is way way too short for that12:05
patdk-lapI suggest a min of 6months12:05
patdk-lapatleast, based on the amount of time I see a compromised password get stolen, till it gets used12:05
RoyKalso, the policy said you should use numbers, mixed case, symbols and whatnot, which doesn't quite fit the fine style of that xkcd thing12:06
patdk-lapya, have those restrictions in place :( cause of audits here :( they won't let them be turned off12:06
RoyKthat policy was removed after I printed out that XKCD strip and handed it out in an IT meeting :P12:07
patdk-lapwell, as long as you don't have external people auditing you, that is god12:07
patdk-lapgood12:07
patdk-lapbut when you do, you just have to do what they say, no matter how dumb12:08
RoyKwe don't, but we've had a consulting firm going through all of IT recently, and they approved it12:08
* patdk-lap wonders about royk :)12:09
patdk-lapwe base our security on xkcd :)12:09
jMCgpatdk-lap: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/security/why-isnt-everyone-hacked-every-day/663312:09
RoyKpatdk-lap: not really, but he has a very good point in that strip12:09
* jMCg needs to find some time to actually realize that catphrase.org site.12:09
patdk-laproyk, I know, just playing :)12:09
patdk-lapjmcg, that assumes attacks are out to make a profit12:13
patdk-lapso far, the attacks against me, are just standard defacing, so no profit in that12:13
patdk-lapjust getting their name out12:13
jMCgpatdk-lap: it does. And it's a good assumption when it comes to crime. Vandalism is.. well.. stupid.12:32
jMCgOf course auntie natties kitty honey blog will hardly be a target for crime -- but it will be an invitation for vandalism if it looks easy to break.12:36
jMCgBut yeah.. re vandalism, we have another jewel from xkcd: http://xkcd.com/932/12:37
jMCgTo put my statement (vandalism is stupid) into more of a perspective: While defacing big corporations does a great deal in certain communities - who have already arrived at that mindset - that these corporations don't give two fucks about anything that isn't green with lots of zeros, in the general public, through mainstream media all it does is facilliate the mind set that hackers are evil (because they break your X-Box)12:45
patdk-lapya, I loved that one about the cia poster, heh12:49

hydromethello, this may seem like a question with an obvious answer, but I'm trying to get some precise understanding of language21:17
hydrometIf I patch my Ubuntu Server's Linux kernel, is such patching of the kernel considered to be a "custom kernel"? Or, to phrase the question another way, is patching a kernel the same thing as customizing it?21:18
qman__hydromet, using any kernel that is not in a package in the repositories is a custom kernel21:20
qman__in binary form21:21
