| monokrome | Is it true that LXC containers don't have separate users? | 00:44 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | monokrome: somewhat true; the kernel provides a /proc/pid/... file that the namespace owner can use to remap UIDs 'inside' the container to UIDs 'outside' the container | 00:46 |
| sarnold | monokrome: here's a patch series for the shadow suite of utilities to make this mapping operation easier for users: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-shadow-devel/2013-January/009552.html | 00:47 |
| fluvvell | Has there been a policy change in samba for server 12.04, I am finding that samba users who are members of a group are creating folders with group write permission turned off. This was not the case in 10.04 | 00:47 |
| monokrome | sarnold: Thanks | 00:51 |
| qman__ | fluvvell, that's set with the create mask setting | 00:55 |
| qman__ | not sure if it has changed, but all you need to do is set it | 00:55 |
| fluvvell | qman__, I've only upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04, it was already set. Samba is not obeying | 00:56 |
| qman__ | fluvvell, that's odd, I haven't run into that problem, have you validated the config file with testparm? | 01:01 |
| qman__ | this might also be helpful: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2010-August/157630.html | 01:02 |
| fluvvell | qman__, yes validated. Thanks but the link points to unix extensions and force modes which are not present in my smb.conf. I've been using samba in servers since about 2001 but its always good to talk to someone else who uses it. | 01:23 |
| qman__ | fluvvell, unix extensions may be on by default, running you into this problem (and may not have been in 10.04) | 01:24 |
| qman__ | I don't know for sure and I can't find good info with a quick search, but it's worth a test | 01:24 |
| qman__ | that's really my only idea on the matter, nothing else really fits | 01:25 |
| sarnold | if that isn't it, maybe strace or ltrace samba when a client creates a directory | 01:26 |
| sarnold | just to get an idea of the steps it is taking.. | 01:26 |
| sarnold | if you can do the same on 10.04 LTS also, all the better | 01:26 |
| sarnold | fluvvell: was your 10.04 LTS install relying upon the bsdgroups mount option and matching directory permissions? | 01:28 |
| fluvvell | sarnold, awesome thanks thats something I can do. | 01:38 |
| fluvvell | qman__, thanks - Its a good point, as I always carry over my old smb.conf file, I've not looked at what is in the default one (usually contains doc references) | 01:39 |
| vedic | I have setup sshd_config with publickey / private key setup and have authorized keys in remote linux terminal which is able to login. But when I connect using putty in windows, I am able to login to linux via ssh without passphrase | 02:50 |
| vedic | Looks like somewhere either I have stored keys for windows putty or public/private key auth is not working as expected, some configuration seems to be missing | 02:51 |
| qman__ | you haven't stated which is not working | 02:53 |
| vedic | qman_: From my linux terminal to remote system I am able to work but why is it working from putty in windows as I think I haven't stored keys in windows (its been long time, I might have stored but I don't recollect. Any way to confirm that?). | 02:55 |
| qman__ | that depends on what software you have installed on windows; pageant is putty's key manager | 02:56 |
| vedic | qman__: if pub/pri keys are used for ssh, how can I confirm it? | 02:56 |
| qman__ | you can tail /var/log/auth.log to see who authenticated and when, and whether they used key or password authentication | 02:57 |
| vedic | qman__: pagent doesn't have keys as I checked just now | 02:57 |
| qman__ | example from one of my servers: Jun 18 22:44:37 yoko sshd[3307]: Accepted publickey for ryan from 66.188.36.22 port 51807 ssh2 | 02:57 |
| vedic | qman__:debug1: PAM: password authentication accepted for user1 | 02:59 |
| vedic | qman__: debug1: PAM: password authentication accepted for tiger | 02:59 |
| qman__ | so it's accepting password logins | 02:59 |
| vedic | qman__: that means I need to say "no" to pam authentication in sshd_config ? | 03:00 |
| qman__ | no | 03:00 |
| Corey | Ahoy. | 03:00 |
| qman__ | it means you didn't present a key, so it asked you for a password, and you entered one | 03:01 |
| qman__ | sshd is configured out of the box to support both key and password authentication | 03:01 |
| qman__ | all you have to do is set up the key files | 03:01 |
| vedic | qman__: I want login based on keys not password | 03:01 |
| vedic | qman__: I have keys setup | 03:02 |
| qman__ | to present the key from windows, you need a key manager such as pageant with your private key loaded | 03:02 |
| qman__ | to present the key from linux, you need to have your key in ~/.ssh/id_rsa or to specify it with the -i option | 03:03 |
| qman__ | if it's accepting passwordless SSH connections without your key, you probably broke pam | 03:04 |
| Corey | YIKES, scary. | 03:05 |
| qman__ | which is a Very Bad Thing (tm) | 03:05 |
| vedic | qman__: I had just updated 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS | 03:07 |
| monokrome | Is there a way to use ufw to route requests between IP addresses | 03:20 |
| monokrome | IE, if I receive a request on 127.0.0.1 on port 22, I want it to go to 127.0.10.4 on port 2396 | 03:20 |
| monokrome | I can do this with iptables, but ufw is probably the right way to do it if it's a supported usecase | 03:21 |
| qman__ | it's not as far as I know, ufw only supports the more basic functionality required by most users | 03:22 |
| qman__ | you can safely add a script to add that iptables rule post-ufw | 03:22 |
| qman__ | since ufw is just an iptables wrapper | 03:22 |
| monokrome | okay thanks :} | 03:29 |
| vedic | qman__: I find no difference when I make "UsePAM" to "no" from "yes" . | 03:35 |
| qman__ | vedic, you should not change that setting | 03:36 |
| vedic | qman__: ok | 03:36 |
| qman__ | it has nothing to do with setting up key authentication | 03:36 |
| vedic | qman__: ok | 03:36 |
| qman__ | you do not need to make any changes at all to the default sshd_config to use key authentication | 03:36 |
| qman__ | you only need to create the keys, put them in the right places, and have the permissions set correctly | 03:38 |
| qman__ | ssh-copy-id is a tool designed specifically to make that very easy | 03:38 |
| mob001_ | hi, tomcat clustering on ubuntu 10.04 using mod_jk connector. pls help on this. | 03:38 |
| vedic | qman__: ok | 03:39 |
| vedic | qman__: yea, I have disabled password authentication. I only want the valid private key holders should login | 03:56 |
| vedic | qman__: I think its much safer and will stand against brute force attacks | 03:57 |
| qman__ | that's a fine configuration, just making sure it's what you intended | 03:57 |

| zul | adam_g_: ok gimme a sec | 19:48 |
| adam_g_ | zul, since it hasn't moved out of staging, it would be cool if we could wipe it entirely from the PPA and upload an correctly older versioned package (the python-wsme_0.5b2-2ubuntu1~cloud0 you're proposing). but i dont know if thats possible | 19:49 |

| adam_g_ | zul, i dont know. the stuff you deleted from the trunk PPA were hanging around in a deleted state and causing uploads to get rejected | 19:50 |

| sarnold | GH0: sorry, I'm afraid you're just goign to have to open it up :( | 21:25 |
| GH0 | :( | 21:26 |
| GH0 | So much of a pain to do that | 21:26 |
| GH0 | Or, I can just go back and look through order records. :P | 21:40 |
| sarnold | you must have better organization than me :) | 21:41 |
| sarnold | granted, I just buy all my memory from crucial because "it worked last time" | 21:41 |
| GH0 | Nope, considering it took me this much time to find it. | 21:41 |
| GH0 | :D | 21:41 |
| vlad_starkov | Question: What brand do you recommend for 1TB server SATA drive? | 21:46 |
| ScottK | sarnold: +1 for Crucial. | 21:47 |
| sarnold | ScottK: nice to hear others have the same experience :) | 21:49 |
| ScottK | Both for quality products and customer service. | 21:49 |
| * keithzg hates, hates, hates Windows and the damn "Master Browser" election nonsense. No matter how high "os level" is set in smb.conf, still announced as OS version 4 minor 9, which loses to Windows 7 hosts and their version 6. Arghhh. | 22:00 | |

| monokrome | Is there a way to see if a box is ubuntu server or desktop easily? | 23:19 |
| monokrome | Something with uname, I'd think | 23:19 |
| G55321 | try cat /etc/issue | 23:20 |
| monokrome | tried that | 23:20 |
| monokrome | Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l | 23:20 |
| G55321 | uname -a shows kernel info | 23:21 |
| monokrome | Linux ubuntu 3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:13:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 23:21 |
| monokrome | Doesn't seem to show anything server-specific here | 23:21 |
| G55321 | you accessing the box via ssh or something? | 23:22 |
| monokrome | yep | 23:22 |
| monokrome | My shell script needs to do something different when server instead of desktop | 23:22 |
| G55321 | ubuntu server does not provide GUI, so maybe search for installed packages that use a GUI and come by default with ubuntu desktop? | 23:23 |
| monokrome | I mean, I can do `which xinit` or something | 23:23 |
| G55321 | like unity or firefox | 23:23 |
| monokrome | but I was hoping for something more concrete | 23:23 |
| ScottK | If X is isntalled, it's not a server. | 23:23 |
| ScottK | By definition. | 23:23 |
| monokrome | ScottK: Yes, but this script also needs to support Arch | 23:24 |
| monokrome | where that isn't true | 23:24 |
| monokrome | I think my best thing is just to specify in the command line what role the box is | 23:24 |
| G55321 | until 10.04 kernels where separate so you could do uname-a and get 2.6.X-server, but now they all use the same kernel | 23:24 |
| monokrome | Yeah, I had thought it worked like that | 23:24 |
| G55321 | well you can check for running services also | 23:25 |
| sarnold | servers usually don't have dhcp | 23:25 |
| * ScottK doesn't know what a *nix server is that has X. It's a bit of a non-sequitor. | 23:25 | |
| sarnold | some do, of course, but if the address is assigned via dhcp, it's more likely a workstation | 23:25 |
| G55321 | if you don't like/want the package search approach | 23:25 |
| lifeless | sarnold: or a cloud instance | 23:25 |
| monokrome | ScottK: Well, some have x libs | 23:25 |
| sarnold | lifeless: hrm, good point. | 23:26 |
| ScottK | Yes, some libs, but not the actual X server. | 23:26 |
| lifeless | ScottK: edubuntu servers :> | 23:26 |
| sarnold | network-manager then? :) | 23:26 |
| monokrome | either way, I understand that point - but this script runs before the server is configured. It configures it. | 23:26 |
| lifeless | ScottK: e.g. Xvnc | 23:26 |
| monokrome | So, on Arch a desktop doesn't have X at that time either | 23:26 |
| ScottK | lifeless: I suppose. | 23:26 |
| monokrome | I thought maybe there was somewhere where Linux conventionally said server vs desktop, but now realize that makes no sense :} | 23:26 |

| lifeless | sarnold: so network-manager on servers makes me very nervous ;) | 23:27 |
| ScottK | But there is a CLI U/I for it, so it could be done. | 23:27 |
| monokrome | network-manager on anything makes me nervous :( | 23:27 |
| sarnold | lifeless: there we go :) hehe | 23:27 |
| lifeless | ifupdown 4 eva. | 23:28 |
| * ScottK wishes you could tell by if it had dbus, but we've crossed that bridge. | 23:28 | |
| sarnold | if you want to be decadant about it, sure :) | 23:28 |
| lifeless | to me 'workstation' is 'thing users sit in front of to do their productivity' | 23:28 |
| lifeless | and 'server' is 'thing that offers services over the network for users to use' | 23:28 |
| lifeless | these are not mutually exclusive | 23:28 |
| monokrome | right | 23:30 |
| ScottK | I tend to think in terms of, there's a GUI if I want one or not, but that's not correct either. | 23:31 |
| G55321 | why I got kicked ? G55321 has quit (Excess Flood) | 23:31 |
| ScottK | Excess flood is automatic. No one here will know. | 23:32 |
| G55321 | the only reason to have a GUI on a server its if you don't know how to do it from command line | 23:33 |
| lifeless | or you have admin tools that fail to work over the network, which is rare but I've fun into it | 23:33 |
| sarnold | G55321: excess flood represents the size of the server's send queue to you, it can often happen when freenode loses a server and a few thousand people in your channels all quit at once... you can get dinged for having too-high a send queue as a result. | 23:33 |
| sarnold | G55321: but I didn't see that huge pile of quits, so I'm not sure what happened to you :) | 23:34 |
| G55321 | thanks, was just curious, tought I did something wrong that I wasn't aware of | 23:34 |
| sarnold | G55321: you might have, if you ran a series of commands that generated too much output... but there's usually enough rate-limiting in place these days to keep that from happening easily. | 23:35 |
