[09:09] <OrangeTux> Is the following enough to backup a just configured ubuntu server? $rsync -vzr --rsh="ssh -p3000" --exclude "proc/*" root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/ /my/local/file/system/07072012-elektim
[09:11] <OrangeTux> In case of a server crash or something can I restore the whole serverconfiguration by copying the backupfiles back to the server?
[11:53] <Sprocks> does anyone here know how to set up a PPTP VPN server that uses RSA on ubuntu server?
[13:36] <Sprocks> does anyone here know how to set up a PPTP VPN server that uses RSA on ubuntu server?
[13:49] <patdk-lap> sprocks, you can't do pptp using rsa
[13:49] <patdk-lap> unless your talking about, doing ipsec with l2tp
[13:50] <Sprocks> is that an ubuntu restriction?
[13:50] <patdk-lap> then the ipsec side could do rsa, but normally doesn't
[13:50] <patdk-lap> no, it's a ppp issue
[13:51] <Sprocks> hmm thats not what my iphone says, but ok ill switch it to password, do you have steps to set the up?
[13:51] <patdk-lap> the iphone uses ipsec :)
[13:51] <patdk-lap> atleast I haven't heard of ios supporting pptp
[13:51] <Sprocks> it can also use PPTP and L2TP
[13:51] <TheLordOfTime> last i checked it doesnt
[13:52] <Sprocks> at least mine can
[13:52] <TheLordOfTime> either that or you're misinterpreting its abilities
[13:52] <Sprocks> im looking at the VPN config screen right now
[13:53] <Sprocks> http://new.hideipvpn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/hideipvpn_iphone4.png
[13:53] <patdk-lap> that is rsasecureid
[13:53] <patdk-lap> totally different from rsa
[13:54] <TheLordOfTime> ^
[13:54] <Sprocks> did i forget to add secure id to my question?
[13:54] <TheLordOfTime> yup
[13:54] <Sprocks> oh sh** ya i did
[13:54] <Sprocks> sorry ya meant with RSA secure ID
[13:54] <patdk-lap> you can :)
[13:54] <patdk-lap> you will have to get the libs/token from rsa company
[13:55] <Sprocks> do you think thats worth it?
[13:56] <patdk-lap> it's nice, there are other methods that aren't so costly
[13:57] <patdk-lap> it's just a normal OTP system
[13:57] <Sprocks> like using the standard password auth?
[13:57] <patdk-lap> no
[13:57] <patdk-lap> like using any other OTP system
[13:58] <Sprocks> is there a page that has the steps needed to install and configure a VPN server with these other OTP systems?
[17:31]  * nrd hi all
[18:51] <gfkjunior> Hey ya'll I was just hoping for some advice for setting up a personal server.
[18:52] <gfkjunior> It's for nothing in particular just to learn, is a vps the best way to go?
[18:56] <dax> If you're just looking to learn, I'd find an old computer and install it on there, or use a virtual machine (e.g. in Virtualbox). No monthly fee that way.
[18:56] <dax> although then you don't get something that's useful as a production mailserver/webserver/whatnot, so VPS might be the best way to go if you need that
[18:59] <gfkjunior> I don't have a lot of space and I found affordable vps services so I'm leaning that way. Are all vps providers essentially the same except for price points/features?
[19:00] <gfkjunior> All I would really like is to set up a file server and play around with ssh and stuff.
[19:11] <sw> gfkjunior: the virtualisation platforms differ, etc. it'll all be explained on their websites. I've always used Linode
[19:12] <gfkjunior> I've heard really good stuff about linode. Thanks ya'll
[20:16] <eNTi> hi. i was wondering, if someone could help me debug as to why certain daemons fail to start @init. is it possible that one daemon just fails and then the rest won't be even tried?
[20:17] <eNTi> i have no idea where to look in my logs
[22:25] <bca> Hello, I run Ubuntu Server 12.04. Is there a way to limit the amount of disk space a user can use in their home directory? (a quota)
[22:33] <PatrickDK> sure, enable quotes, and set one
[22:37] <bca> PatrickDK: How do I enable them?
[22:38]  * PatrickDK would assume the ubunt server guide knows
[22:38] <bca> thanks
[23:13] <bca> One more question. Is there an easy way to monitor bandwith usage?
[23:15] <usul> I installed server, but I can find a terminal in the gui
[23:16] <usul> it's fine it I toggle outside it, but I want a term in the gui, what do I need to apt-get that I shouldn't have already gotten with ubuntu-desktop?
[23:30] <Skaag> hm. I thought having my email hosted by google apps for domains was free?
[23:39] <andol> bca: You can get the data both from ifconfig as well as from iptables. Myself I graph that data (as well as other system metrics) using munin.
[23:39] <bca> Okay, thanks :)
[23:46] <BoF> buenas gente
