[00:00] <elz89> OK, I will give this a try now...
[00:32] <jMCg> YAY. NFS doesn't work any more since upgrade.
[00:36] <elz89> jMCg: A little more info would not go a miss?
[00:36] <jMCg> elz89: still looking into it.
[00:38] <jMCg> Server 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.
[02:49] <TimR_> Hi Guys I am just wondering if anybody can tell me how to setup a userpage as domain.com/~username  ?
[02:50] <wo0f> apache config
[02:50] <JanC> TimR_: with Apache that's basic configuration stuff?  (used to be enabled by default even)
[02:51] <TimR_> what am I looking at in the apache config file or what do I need to do
[02:51] <wo0f> make your file in sites-available
[02:52] <wo0f> then link it in sites-enable
[02:52] <JanC> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir
[02:53] <JanC> TimR_: 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 served
[02:53] <TimR_> alright
[02:53] <TimR_> Thanks Janc and wo0f
[02:54] <JanC> actually, UserDir can be outside the user's $HOME
[02:55] <JanC> but that's how it started  ;)
[02:55] <wo0f> TimR_, just copy and edit the default file
[02:56] <TimR_> well see that is the next question what would I be adding or editing to the file?
[02:56] <JanC> wo0f: I doubt the default vsite enables this
[02:56] <wo0f> make a new one
[02:56] <wo0f> "TimR" for instance
[02:57] <TimR_> ok
[02:57] <wo0f> then create a symbolic link of your file in the sites-enabled folder
[02:57] <TimR_> what info needs to be in there?
[02:57] <wo0f> um
[02:57] <JanC> TimR_: it might be useful to read /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz
[02:58] <wo0f> document root is where the files are
[02:58] <TimR_> ok
[02:58] <JanC> and i would suggest using the a2* tools instead of manually creating symlinks  ;)
[02:59] <wo0f> JanC, a"* tools?
[02:59] <JanC> a2dismod   a2dissite  a2enmod    a2ensite
[02:59] <wo0f> oh well yeah
[02:59] <wo0f> i usually just ln -s :P
[03:00] <wo0f> JanC, good tip tanks
[03:23] <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 50meg
[03:26] <qman__> disk quotas
[03:28] <TimR_> thanks
[03:46] <Deathbringer> could some one help me with my apaceh2 on my ubuntu server?
[03:47] <TimR_> what issue are u having deathbringer
[03:47] <Deathbringer> i created a new virtual host and my apaceh2 wont restart with out failing
[03:48] <TimR_> what is the error are you getting when u restart it
[03:48] <Deathbringer> permision denied make_sock could not bind to address  0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available shutting down unable to open logs Fail
[03:49] <Deathbringer> i have been playing with it for hours and cant figure it out
[03:50] <TimR_> mmm
[03:50] <Deathbringer> I have disabled the enabled site i added and i still cant restart it
[03:50] <TimR_> are u getting a ip address to the server?
[03:50] <Deathbringer> nope thats the error how it comes in
[03:51] <TimR_> there is ur issue
[03:51] <TimR_> your not getting a ip address
[03:51] <Deathbringer> what you mean how do i fix?
[03:51] <TimR_> are u behind a switch or router
[03:51] <Deathbringer> no its on a dedicated server
[03:51] <TimR_> then is it connected to a modem or what?
[03:52] <Deathbringer> its on its own dedicated line i disabled the firewall on the server in CP
[03:52] <TimR_> is this at a datacenter or at ur house?
[03:52] <Deathbringer> idk what its connected to cuz i rent it from a server hosting company
[03:52] <TimR_> then the issue is at the server hosting company
[03:53] <Deathbringer> ok then how do i fix it?
[03:53] <TimR_> you need to contact them and tell them your not getting a ip address
[03:53] <Deathbringer> I am buying a new domain and need to get that domain to be picked up by the server
[03:53] <Deathbringer> and i have no clue how to use virtual hosts..
[03:54] <TimR_> the ip address is the issue
[03:54] <TimR_> who is the hosting company?
[03:54] <Deathbringer> iweb
[03:54] <Deathbringer> what you mean the ip address is the issue?
[03:55] <Deathbringer> I have 4 IPs for it
[03:55] <TimR_> if your getting a error of 0.0.0.0:80 that means the server is not getting a ip address
[03:56] <Deathbringer> where do i fix it?
[03:56] <TimR_> i told you have to contact iweb
[03:56] <TimR_> they have to take look at it
[03:57] <Deathbringer> I am not paying them to look at it... thats why i am in support chan i installed all this myself it has nothign to do with iweb...
[03:57] <TimR_> then I am sorry we cant really help you
[03:58] <Deathbringer> nvm i fixed it...
[03:58] <TimR_> how did you fix it
[03:59] <Deathbringer> i left out sudo...
[04:00] <TimR_> ic
[05:10] <qman__> binding to 0.0.0.0 means binding to all IPs, it doesn't mean you don't have one
[09:49] <koolhead17> hi all
[09:51] <lenios_> hi

[10:42] <e-DIO-t> ops, sorry, wrong channel!
[11:01] <RoyK> hm... anyone that knows if it's possible to use cryptsetup on files, not partitions, without mapping them manually with losetup?
[11:13] <RoyK> testing one two
[11:39] <patdk-lap> royk, no idea, only used partitions
[11:57] <RoyK> patdk-lap: I resorted to setting up a simple encrypted home dir with a New And Improved Password inspired by http://xkcd.com/936/
[11:59] <patdk-lap> ya, the password min requirements checker I setup handles both of those
[12:00] <patdk-lap> if it's short, it must be mixed case and numbers and symbols
[12:00] <patdk-lap> the longer it is, you can get away with all lower case only
[12:00] <patdk-lap> it just makes sure there is x entropy available
[12:00] <patdk-lap> but I haven't seen anyone using long passwords yes
[12:01] <patdk-lap> my passwords are normally mixed case,symbols and about 15-20 long
[12:02] <RoyK> I just used a rather understandable, but hardly common, phrase in my language
[12:02] <RoyK> patdk-lap: how is this password requirement setup?
[12:03] <patdk-lap> mine are just patterns on the keyboard
[12:03] <patdk-lap> you give me a strange keyboard layout, heh, I can't type it in
[12:03] <jMCg> I 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] <RoyK> my point exactly - I switch between keyboard layouts regularly, so I need something simple
[12:04] <RoyK> jMCg: lol
[12:04] <patdk-lap> jmcg, ya, I try to make it as unrestrictive as possible
[12:04] <patdk-lap> but people just love to use, password, their name, ....
[12:04] <patdk-lap> ya, I had to get creative in checking that their username wasn't in their password
[12:05] <RoyK> we 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 number
[12:05] <patdk-lap> amonth is way way too short for that
[12:05] <patdk-lap> I suggest a min of 6months
[12:05] <patdk-lap> atleast, based on the amount of time I see a compromised password get stolen, till it gets used
[12:06] <RoyK> also, the policy said you should use numbers, mixed case, symbols and whatnot, which doesn't quite fit the fine style of that xkcd thing
[12:06] <patdk-lap> ya, have those restrictions in place :( cause of audits here :( they won't let them be turned off
[12:07] <RoyK> that policy was removed after I printed out that XKCD strip and handed it out in an IT meeting :P
[12:07] <patdk-lap> well, as long as you don't have external people auditing you, that is god
[12:07] <patdk-lap> good
[12:08] <patdk-lap> but when you do, you just have to do what they say, no matter how dumb
[12:08] <RoyK> we don't, but we've had a consulting firm going through all of IT recently, and they approved it
[12:09]  * patdk-lap wonders about royk :)
[12:09] <patdk-lap> we base our security on xkcd :)
[12:09] <jMCg> patdk-lap: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/security/why-isnt-everyone-hacked-every-day/6633
[12:09] <RoyK> patdk-lap: not really, but he has a very good point in that strip
[12:09]  * jMCg needs to find some time to actually realize that catphrase.org site.
[12:09] <patdk-lap> royk, I know, just playing :)
[12:13] <patdk-lap> jmcg, that assumes attacks are out to make a profit
[12:13] <patdk-lap> so far, the attacks against me, are just standard defacing, so no profit in that
[12:13] <patdk-lap> just getting their name out
[12:32] <jMCg> patdk-lap: it does. And it's a good assumption when it comes to crime. Vandalism is.. well.. stupid.
[12:36] <jMCg> Of 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.
[12:37] <jMCg> But yeah.. re vandalism, we have another jewel from xkcd: http://xkcd.com/932/
[12:45] <jMCg> To 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)
[12:49] <patdk-lap> ya, I loved that one about the cia poster, heh
[13:34] <liran> How do I disable all Diffie-Helman ciphers in my ubuntu Apache server?
[13:35] <RoyK> liran: why?
[13:36] <liran> RoyK: testing
[13:39] <liran> RoyK:  ?
[13:55] <RoyK> liran: sorry, don't know - perhaps someone at #httpd would know
[14:23] <patdk-lap> hmm, apache doesn't do ciphers, maybe you should check out mod_ssl or mod_gnutls
[14:23] <patdk-lap> they both explain it pretty simply
[16:27] <binaryhat> i have 14 pdf files and only 10 were copied over to the samba share.  i get 'could not write to  smb://....'
[21:17] <hydromet> hello, this may seem like a question with an obvious answer, but I'm trying to get some precise understanding of language
[21:18] <hydromet> If 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?
[21:20] <qman__> hydromet, using any kernel that is not in a package in the repositories is a custom kernel
[21:21] <qman__> in binary form
[21:22] <hydromet> qman__: thank you, that's what I thought but I wanted to be fairly precise (based on something else I was reading, wanted to make sure I understood it)
[21:23] <hydromet> I have Ubuntu Server 11.04 running as a virtual machine in VMware Fusion ... I had to patch the kernel to accommodate for security purposes for Openswan ... its been an interesting learning curve(s)
[21:45] <elz89> Is anyone around to assist me with a video display issue on a fresh install of oceiric? All the text is blurred. I have made some adjustments to /etc/default/grub to no avail.
[21:45] <elz89> *oneiric
[21:46] <Theravadan> anyone know why iptables is not rejecting/dropping packets? iptables increments the counter for the DROP/REJECT but the packet is allowed.
[21:46] <elz89> Theravadan: Have you restarted networking since config change?
[21:49] <Theravadan> elz89, hmm actually it was working, it drops the packet so connecting just hangs as it should
[21:51] <elz89> connecting to what?
[21:51] <Theravadan> elz89: connecting to the blocked port. how can i have it send  RST?
[22:07] <dnmons> The postfix process is started before dovecot. Unfortunately, I’ve set Dovecot to do local delivery and handle authentication. How can I delay the postfix process at boot? Causes some queued messages to be dropped. (This was not a problem with 11.04. new in 11.10.)
[22:51] <elz89> Anyone about to help with a video issue in oneiric?
[22:51] <elz89> My text is unreadable.
[22:53] <patdk-lap> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"
[22:53] <patdk-lap> GRUB_TERMINAL=console
[22:53] <patdk-lap> put those in /etc/default/grub
[22:54] <patdk-lap> update-grub
[22:54] <patdk-lap> and reboot
[22:55] <elz89> patdk-lap: I forgot to update grub, what a newb :-P
[22:56] <elz89> thanks :-)
