[06:26] LargePrime: there's no default firewall; just have your server program bind() a socket, listen() to a port at startup, then accept connections in the main loop [06:27] The software is supposed to have opend a port. but it seems not. i scanned with nmap and it is closed [06:27] LargePrime: check with sudo netstat -nlp | grep :portnumber [06:27] (-n to avoid dns, -l to show listening, -p to show program names and pids) [06:28] sarnold: how do i specify the ip? [06:29] LargePrime: most programs have a directive for that; 0.0.0.0 or * for "any", or a specific IP if you want it bound on only one address [06:29] ok i see it with the netstat command [06:31] sarnold: I see thie correct ip and the port with the netstart, but nmap is not showing it as open when scanned [06:33] LargePrime: okay, that's a start, though it does complicate things a bit :) it's bed time for me, so I'm afraid I'll just hahve to throw you some pointers and hope one of them gets it.. [06:33] and now everything is working [06:33] LargePrime: first, make sure ... [06:33] haha [06:33] ok did i do that? [06:33] try to show the problem to someone else, and it goes away. every time. :D [06:33] ok it not just me [06:34] LargePrime: I wish I had a good explanation. :/ the netstat command won't change anything.. [06:38] sarnold: thanks === klaas- is now known as klaas [09:49] bonjour [09:52] je voudrais savoir comment je dois faire pour redémarrer comme si c'etait pour la premiere fois mon ordinateur je suis sous Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ? === DasIch_ is now known as DasIch [14:26] I am installing ubuntu-server 12.04.2 from a pendrive (by using unetbootin), it outputs error for the ubuntu archive mirror, I selected tens of countries from the list, but it always output "bad archive mirror". one of the mirrors that I am using is se.archive.ubuntu.com. how can I overcome this step? [14:27] angs: i would try and install without adding packages at installation [14:35] it asks that step by default when I select "install ubuntu server" option on unetboot. [14:36] angs: have you checked networking is ok? [14:36] sorry select "install" option. [14:36] I selected to install it without having connection option [14:37] if I select "install ubuntu server" on the unetboot, at a point it asks me to insert the installation CD where I am using pendrive. there is no option to select another storage. [14:38] I will try to use usb-creator to prepare the usb stick then try it [14:38] *try to install it [14:41] hi anyone familiar with using procmail for forwarding outgoing emails? === Ursula is now known as Ursinha === ubuntu is now known as Guest51517 === Guest51517 is now known as angs === security is now known as fire [17:30] What is xinetd and why would I need it? [17:30] im setting up nagios3 server and a nrpe host on another network. some guides suggests me to use xinetd [17:35] sliddjur: xinetd (or inetd) is a helper to make processes not having a tcp (or udp) listener built in work over those protocols. nrpe should be able to listen to tcp without (x)inetd [17:43] RoyK: hmm ok. [17:44] my teacher also suggested me to use two hosts on the same network [17:44] he never told me why === VD is now known as Guest874 [20:29] any suggestions for an imap server other than courier? i've spent two hours mucking with it and it just won't start. and i'm not new at courier, i have many years of experience, and even I can't figure it out. time to move on. [20:30] Fieldy: Dovecot [20:30] thanks [20:32] Either dovecot or cyrus [20:32] Fieldy: the !serverguide contains a good part about mail services [20:32] dovecot's probably easier to get going with [20:33] !serverguide | Fieldy [20:33] Fieldy: The Ubuntu server guide may be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ [20:33] cyrus is possibly better some more advanced use cases [20:33] thanks for the info [20:33] yeah my needs are simple [20:33] just tired of fighting courier's goofy config [20:33] so i'll play with dovecot [20:41] Fieldy: cyrus is good too === Pici` is now known as Pici [22:12] can some one tell me why I am getting this "Connection closed by foreign host." and why I cannot get my smtp up and running [22:13] dandkburt: what are you trying to do?
