[01:52] <techquila> hi there... i'm struggling to remember anything I learned when i did my ccna.. years lapsed and haven't done anything in this arena for a while.. hoping someone can give me some quick advice... i have 3 ubuntu servers: (1 x linode vps, 1 x vps with another provider, and 1 x dev server at my home)  i'm trying to point a subdomain: dev.domain.com to my dev server at home.  static public ip to router and set up port forwarding on m
[01:52] <techquila> np805n-11n so that ports 80 and 8069 point to the private ip of the dev server... still no worky.. anything i'm forgetting?
[01:53] <techquila> the main domain points to my linode.. maybe i use the same dns on my dev server as my linode?
[01:56] <techquila> ps.. i don't use irc much so i'm unaware of  a good networking channel.. if someone has a suggestion for a more appropriate channel to ask i'm all ears..
[03:25] <jeroth> Question: I had a drive fail in my software Raid 5 array. The new drive starts on sector 64 and the rest of the drives are on 63, will this give me a performance hit?
[03:25] <jeroth> Basically I am trying to figure out this whole partition alignment and jazz and cant seem to ha
[03:35] <zexcriz> if my machines are running and are live providing services, how can i test my machines for security testing ?
[03:50] <jrwren> like pentesting?
[03:53] <zexcriz> jrwren, yeah

[10:26] <bitnumus> hi, my system clock is stuck -61seconds
[10:27] <bitnumus> can anyone help with this? i've tried installing NTP etc
[10:28] <mardraum> ntp will eventually fix it
[10:29] <mardraum> it just won't correct 61 seconds in one hit
[10:29] <mardraum> if you want to force it, stop the ntp service and use ntpdate to a ntp server.
[10:29] <mardraum> then start the ntp service again
[10:31] <bitnumus> yes i did that
[10:31] <bitnumus> but it doesnt work
[10:31] <bitnumus> i've left it overnight also, still the same
[10:31] <bitnumus> using  'ntpq -p' to check
[10:31] <bitnumus> its not 63seconds
[10:31] <bitnumus> now*
[10:32] <bitnumus> +ntp4.Housing.Be 128.32.206.55    3 u   42   64  377   74.976                            offset >    -63531.       /      jitter   > 7.654
[10:32] <mardraum> you did what that didn't work?
[10:32] <bitnumus> forced update with ntpdate, or so i thought
[10:33] <mardraum> try it again now and paste the output. use pastebin for more than one line
[10:33] <bitnumus> what server would you suggest?
[10:33] <bitnumus> and how can i check which one its currently using?   ntp conf doesnt change from what i can see
[10:34] <mardraum> just use the server you listed above
[10:35] <mardraum> by default ubuntu uses the ntp projects servers, so it will change on each startup even perhaps
[10:35] <bitnumus> so what command do you suggest i use ?
[10:35] <mardraum> stop the ntp service, then ntpdate <name>
[10:38] <bitnumus> no change
[10:38] <bitnumus> just tried this that i found online  >   /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
[10:39] <bitnumus> but it returns this, maybe its related i dont know   >    ntpdate[8008]: step-systime: Operation not permitted
[10:39] <mardraum> sudo.
[10:43] <bitnumus> nope
[10:43] <bitnumus> lol
[10:44] <bitnumus> this might be the underlying issue then ?
[10:44] <bitnumus> what user is NTP supposed to be run as ?
[10:45] <bitnumus> its being run as root it seems
[10:46] <bitnumus> just tried uninstalling NTP, and got this from aptitude      pB
[10:46] <bitnumus> broken package?
[10:58] <bitnumus> think it might be this :)   http://www.gvarisco.com/2011/05/01/openvz-tips-and-tricks-ntpdate-1/
[15:00] <halvors> Hi!. Trying to install ubuntu server on an IBM eServer 346 (8840) but when i boot the installation disk, the only option that is appearing on the screen is "Rescue Mode".
[15:00] <halvors> What do i do?
[15:02] <halvors> My server is just setup with RAID. No old ubuntu installation to fix...
[15:08] <Mosselman> hey guys. I want to quickly see if http requests are coming through to my server. I know there is a tool that allows you to listen on a port and output requests coming in, but I forgot which process.
[15:09] <Mosselman> Does anyone know it?
[15:13] <bekks> tail -f apache2.log ? :)
[15:13] <Mosselman> bekks: no apache
[15:13] <Patrickdk> tcpdump
[15:14] <bekks> tail -f whateverserver.log :)
[15:14] <Patrickdk> beeks read first, he said listen on a port
[15:14] <Patrickdk> so if you want to answer that way, first explain how to isntall and setup a webserver
[15:15] <Patrickdk> would have thought with the invention of the internet, peoples reading skills might actually go up
[15:16]  * Patrickdk blames the invention of sms
[15:16] <Mosselman> while true ; do nc -l 3000 <<<works ; done
[15:16] <Mosselman> this serves a string on port 80
[15:17] <Mosselman> port 3000
[15:17] <Mosselman> I mean
[15:19] <Mosselman> obviously `nc -l 80` would work too, but then you don't get feedback in the browser.
[15:19] <Mosselman> Which is fine for most of this level of debuggin.
[15:19] <Mosselman> debugging*
[19:29] <Distortion> hi guys, I just beginning to setup an email server and I have some questions
[20:32] <Distortion> I have installed postfix and am testing. Telnet localhost 25 works fine and I am able to send email, but telnet myaddress.org 25 just hangs. Any ideas?
[20:37] <jrwren> many ISPs block incoming port 25. Comcast does. Who is your iSP?
[20:37] <Distortion> ah
[20:38] <Distortion> Well I am running this website on a virtual machine on windows azure
[20:38] <acacs> Distortion: service is listening on external interface?
[20:39] <jrwren> Distortion: azure blocks incoming port 25 as well.
[20:39] <Distortion> ah shit
[20:39] <Distortion> what is the way around this?
[20:40] <jrwren> i'm wrong about azure and port25 anyway.
[20:41] <Distortion> oh so it isn't blocked?
[20:42] <jrwren> nope.
[20:42] <Distortion> hmm
[20:42] <jrwren> i'll spin up and instance and try.
[20:43] <Distortion> okay sweet
[20:43] <Distortion> you guys are really helpful
[20:43] <Distortion> there are quite a few trolls in #postfix
[20:43] <jrwren> you are using 3 of my favorite technolgies which I want to succeed and be used, ubuntu, azure, postfix :)
[20:46] <jrwren> Distortion: which ubuntu version are you using?
[20:48] <Distortion> jrwren: 12,04
[20:48] <shodan45> jrwren: OT, but I'm curious - what's good about azure? I haven't really heard much either way on it
[20:48] <Distortion> haha I get azure free since I registered a startup
[20:48] <Distortion> so it is amazing
[20:48] <shodan45> "registered a startup"? o_O
[20:49] <shodan45> startup as in "omg I have a bajillion dollar idea, let's do this!"?
[20:50] <Distortion> haha
[20:50] <jrwren> shodan45: i'm just glad there is good competition for aws and xen technologies.
[20:50] <Distortion> as in you send them your information (website people involved etc) and they review it and give you like 3 years of azure free
[20:50] <jrwren> Distortion: BizSpark?
[20:50] <Distortion> $150 a month to spend
[20:50] <Distortion> yes bizspark!
[20:51] <jrwren> yes, i've heard of businesses using that, then after 3 years they find out that licenses for the SQL Server and Windows Server which they used costs $50-$100k, which is a huge percent of their margins.
[20:52] <shodan45> yeah, $150 tends to not go very far with MS software... no idea what they charge normally for azure
[20:53] <Distortion> jrwren: I can imaging -- however I am not using any windows software, just their VM.
[20:53] <shodan45> jrwren: aws & xen? I've never understood why people pay so much for aws, as for xen - I use kvm :D
[20:54] <shodan45> jrwren: still, always good to know about free stuff :)
[20:54] <Distortion> I am only putting up an idea so that when I apply for jobs next year I have something to show
[20:55] <jrwren> shodan45: we use openstack and kvm too, and I am looking foward to openstack and lxc. Still, I appreciate teh hyperV competition
[20:57] <Distortion> jrwren:  do you have any idea why I cant access port 25?
[20:57] <shodan45> anyone here install a mythtv backend on an existing (headless) server install? #ubuntu-mythtv is pretty dead on the weekends :(
[20:57] <jrwren> Distortion: only thing I can think of is firewall rule. azure calls them endpoints
[20:58] <Distortion> not ufw, but something through their system?
[20:58] <jrwren> yes
[20:58] <jrwren> like ec2 security groups
[20:58] <Distortion> ah i see
[20:58] <Distortion> thank you
[21:02] <jrwren> did it work?
[21:04] <Distortion> I'm not sure
[21:04] <Distortion> I don't have access to the account that hosts the VM
[21:04] <Distortion> I just have sudo access to the server, not access to my friend's azure account
[21:05] <Distortion> I will try it later when he is available
[21:06] <LordAioria> hello all
[21:07] <LordAioria> Is there any person that has installed a jasig CAS server ?
[21:12] <LordAioria> I have installed jasig CAS server into a tomcat environment with a SSL
[21:13] <LordAioria> i have some quesitons... i don't see any document, guide or tutorial that explains next steps... for example to create a schema to allocate all login information in mysql ....
[21:13] <LordAioria> could you help me?
[21:15] <Distortion> jrwren: okay opened up the ports through azure…that was the fix
[21:15] <Distortion> thanks
[21:15] <jrwren> yw
[21:15] <Distortion> No off to learn the basics of email servers
[21:15] <Distortion> now*
[21:17] <shodan45> Distortion: basics of email servers=let someone else do it
[21:17] <Distortion> haha
[21:17] <shodan45> (no, I'm not kidding... email is a huge PITA)
[21:18] <Distortion> I only need really simple things so it isn't that bad
[21:18] <Distortion> 1 domain
[21:18] <Distortion> 3 email addresses
[21:18] <shodan45> incoming or just outgoing?
[21:18] <Distortion> both and I;m setting up imap so I can use gmail with it
[21:19] <Distortion> but it seems okay so far
[21:19] <shodan45> Distortion: good luck. I learned long ago that self hosting email just isn't worth it. :/
[21:19] <Distortion> ya…I may end up just coughing up some money
[21:19] <Distortion> thanks for the tip though
[21:20] <shodan45> or if you don't mind google, they might still host email for free (not sure... they used to)
[21:20] <Distortion> oh I didnt know that actually
[21:20] <Distortion> (there seems to be a bit of google hate around these parts )
[21:20] <shodan45> yeah, "google apps for your domain" I think
[21:21] <shodan45> I don't know if they charge now
[21:23] <Distortion> it looks like it is no longer free
[21:23] <Distortion> I kind of enjoy learning new things though so this is fine
[21:23] <Distortion> by kind of, I mean I do enjoy learning new things
[21:47] <Diegonat> guys? i have a server with eth0 192.168.1.5 and br0 10.0.0.1 . Moreover i have instances 10.0.0.x . What do i need to set on iptables to make instances rechable from outside the server??
[22:25] <Distortion> jrwren: still around?
[22:26] <jrwren> yes
[22:26] <Distortion> alright so I am able to send and recieve emails from different accounts on my server
[22:26] <jrwren> YAY
[22:26] <Distortion> but I get this error when sending from an outside person though
[22:29] <Distortion> http://pastebin.com/twuhqLUt
[22:30] <Distortion> I think the issue is with godaddy
[22:32] <Distortion> do I have to purchase something from them to set up email for my server?
[22:43] <Distortion> figured it out, nevermind
