[10:10] <bigjools> allenap: I need your advice.
[10:10] <bigjools> my branch to run the dhcp probing in the cluster controller needs authbind to run and will blow up without it
[10:11] <allenap> bigjools: Is that a problem?
[10:11] <bigjools> allenap: well, I can add instructions that nobody will read :)
[10:13] <allenap> bigjools: I guess we can configure authbind in packaging, but dev is the problem here?
[10:13] <bigjools> allenap: yes, packaging is easy.  dev needs someone to do the authbind trick as per pserv/dns etc
[10:13]  * allenap can't remember how authbind works...
[10:13] <bigjools> it won';t break anything else, it'll just leave errors in the log
[10:14] <bigjools> look in HACKING.txt
[10:14] <bigjools> sudo touch /etc/authbind/byport/68
[10:14] <bigjools> chmod +x on it
[10:14] <bigjools> then authbind <command>
[10:21] <allenap> bigjools: The DNS and TFTP services run kind-of-degraded in dev. Can the DHCP probe run that way too, unless someone has set up authbind? Degraded for the probe probably means not running.
[10:21] <bigjools> allenap: yeah it'll just traceback in the log, no harm done
[10:22] <bigjools> I like that - it reminds you to do the authbind
[10:22] <bigjools> maybe I should catch the error and put a decent message in
[10:24] <allenap> bigjools: We could preempt questions by asking in advance on askubuntu, and replying, assuming that’s okay with the t&cs.
[10:24] <rvba> bigjools: +1 for putting a decent message, your future self will thank you :)
[10:24] <bigjools> heh
[10:25] <allenap> bigjools: But yes, traceback with a “read HACKING.txt now or go back to herding goats” message sounds good.
[10:28] <bigjools> done :)
[15:59] <rvba> allenap: up for a review? https://code.launchpad.net/~rvb/maas/death-to-get-uri/+merge/197550
[16:34] <allenap> rvba: Sure. I’ve got to finish bigjools’ first, then I’ll look at yours.
[16:34]  * allenap is grateful that he remembered the apostrophe.
[22:51] <bigjools> allenap: so am I
