shaunoI'm still using lucid.  it's still supported!00:01
neuroyeah but with le packages du ancient00:01
shaunopffft.  I prefer to think of them as "tried and trusted"00:01
daftykins^00:01
daftykinsi'm typing from a lucid VM for irssi alone00:02
neuroprecise is tried and trusted00:02
daftykinsaaand my local web server is still lucid00:02
neurolucid is like le old00:02
neurohowever00:02
daftykinsi might skip precise and go straight to trusty, but i know it's gonna be constant upgrades galore =/00:02
neuroi'm not deliberately slagging lucid for the sake of it00:02
neuroi just prefer my "cluster" to have release parity00:02
shaunoI've just been putting off upgrading because I tend to spawn a new VM, get everything up and going, and then kill the old one00:05
shaunowhich means an IP change, and this machine is my dns server00:05
neuroat some point i'm going to migrate my external-facing name servers to route5300:06
shaunoI like to keep them under my control because if I stop doing things myself, I completely forget how to and turn into an apple user00:07
neurowell, that seemed to go swimmingl00:20

mappswhays up07:30
mappstime to watch the following07:31
mappshmm strange08:09
mappsmy crontab entry didnt run08:09
MartijnVdSmapps: check /var/log/auth.log and /var/log/syslog08:17
MartijnVdSmapps: crontab syntax might be incorrect, or file permissions08:17
mappsah it did run but the file my script create went into a diff dir than expected08:26
mappsMartijnVdS,  what do you use to stop bruce force ssh i was reading up on it and there's a few options..just ive got quite a lot of attempts in auth.log08:27
MooDoomapps: I use denyhosts.08:29
mappsthanks is it easy to configure?08:31
MooDooyeah only issue is that if you block your own IP it causes grief ;)08:36
mappsthanks will look into that later:)08:37
diploMorning all08:43
mappsmorning diplo08:44
MartijnVdSmapps: I use fail2ban08:45
MartijnVdSmapps: you can also configure it to block IPs that are h4x0ring your apache server, or anything that logs failed login attempts08:46
mappsaha thats handy08:46
mappsi was going to say i should probably look at doing somethig for apache08:46
diplo+1 for Fail2Ban08:49
MooDoook apt-cache finds fail2ban - ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors08:50
MooDoomight give that a try too08:50
diploBy default it does ssh I believe, need to enable the others, lots of info on the net though and configs are fairly straight forward08:51
MartijnVdSyeah, you have to configure the others08:55
MartijnVdSbut the config file is easy to read/expand08:55
MartijnVdSand you can write your own log filters for finding unauthorized logins if you want08:55

cocoa117the iptables MASQUERADE is only apply to private IP address range right? when I want to route IP traffic from internal network with computers on non-private IP range I don't have to use it, do i?11:22
MartijnVdScocoa117: it applies to anything you set it to apply to :)11:22
MartijnVdScocoa117: you need it to connect from a private address to a public one11:23
MartijnVdScocoa117: you don't need it for priv->priv or pub->pub, as long as you have routing set up11:23
cocoa117MartijnVdS, so that means by appling the iptables MASQUERADE, the traffic will be showing coming from firewall rather then from internal client?11:23
MartijnVdScocoa117: indeed11:23
MartijnVdSalso called "NAT", or "network address translation", or SNAT (source NAT)11:23
MartijnVdS(as it mangles at the source of the (outgoing) connection)11:24
cocoa117MartijnVdS, got it, the NAT in my mind always associated with private IP addresses. Never thought about the non-private IP ranges11:24
MartijnVdScocoa117: not many people NAT connections from public addresses, as that would be silly :)11:25
cocoa117MartijnVdS, I do, in this case. by the way, 1.8.32.11/13 is public IP range right?11:26
cocoa117MartijnVdS, yes it is from China11:26
MartijnVdScocoa117: it is.11:26

MooDoobrobostigon: beach robot and alpha.....are we playing word association?12:09
brobostigonMooDoo: no.12:09
MooDoobrobostigon: sorry just trying to make people smile12:10
ali1234i do wonder why software companies release update after update without fixing any of the glaring bugs12:10
brobostigonMooDoo: ah, i see.12:10
MooDooali1234: quite normal to be honest12:10
ali1234but why do they even bother?12:10
brobostigonactually, it has improved an awful lot, and lots been fixed.12:11
MooDooali1234: releasing new features makes it more attractive so they'll do that first12:11
ali1234they never release new features though12:11
ali1234router firmwares are great examples of this12:11
ali1234they'll release maybe 10 updates in the course of a router's lifetime12:12
ali1234none will add any features or fix any bugs12:12
ali1234if you look at the source changes they are trivial12:12
ali1234seems fairly normal for firmware in anything really12:13
foobarryi had a bug fixed in router firmware12:14
foobarryadsl router12:14
foobarryresolved issues with adsl212:14
ali1234i had the opposite experience actually12:17

bigcalmGood morning peeps :)13:17

bigcalmAre opendns' dns servers being pants for anybody today?13:17
bigcalmLookups are taking an age13:18
MooDooI use googles. so no idea :p13:18
bashrcI've never investigated it, but I wonder if it's possible to run your own dns server13:18
bigcalmIt is13:20
ali1234of course it is....13:20
bigcalmBut it would still have to perform lookups against other DNS servers13:20
ali1234exactly13:20
bashrcyes I expect so13:20
ali1234it's more for when you want to control the DNS of your own domain13:21
ali1234ubuntu runs a local caching dns server anyway13:21
* bigcalm moves over to google's DNS servers13:21
ali1234i use google's, they're much better than opendns13:22
MooDooyeah mee to13:22
bashrcI don't really know how dns works, but I'd guess that it has to automatically synchronise with other dns servers13:22
ali1234there's no synchronization as such13:22
bashrc8.8.8.813:22
bashrcoh13:23
ali1234records are cached13:23
bigcalmIs the 2nd 8.8.4.4 or 4.4.4.4?13:23
daftykinsrecord propogation13:23
bashrcso what if a domain name stays the same but the underlying IP address changes?13:24
ali1234records have a ttl13:24
bigcalmThat's where TTL comes into play13:24
bashrcis that a sort of synchronisation?13:24
daftykinsno13:24
daftykinsit's a value in seconds of how long to keep a record for before requerying it13:25
bashrcah13:25
ali1234synchronization implies pushing13:25
daftykinsthus anyone holding the IP for a domain in cache gets instructed to ask for an update13:25
ali1234the cached dns records aren't updated until someone asks for it13:25
awilkinsTime To Live13:26
daftykinsbashrc: think of it like requesting your phone number gets changed in the phone book, it's correct at source but everyone else needs to go get the latest directory print to know ;)13:26
bashrcyes13:26
awilkins8.8.8.8 is Google's DNS, no?13:26
bashrcit is13:26
* awilkins reads further up13:26
daftykinsit's one of theirs yes13:27
awilkinsApparently my router just proxies whatever it gets told by DHCP13:27
awilkinsmy /etc/resolv.conf says 127.0.1.113:28
awilkinsHmm, that's a local address innit?13:28
daftykinsyep loopback13:28
daftykinswow my cat is in a serious playful mood today13:28
awilkinsProbably got hold of some black market catnip13:29
daftykinsquick spot of tail-chase breakdancing followed by attacking a key on a window sill upstairs13:29
ali1234awilkins: because ubuntu runs dnsmasq locally as a caching proxy13:29
MartijnVdSresolvconv daemon13:29
MartijnVdSor scripts13:29
MartijnVdSor whatever13:29
ali1234by default it's dnsmasq13:29
MartijnVdSyeah but resolvconf manages /etc/resolv.conf and points it at dnsmasq afaik?13:31
awilkinsYus13:31
awilkinsRouter is also running dnsmasq13:32
ali1234yes they often do13:32
awilkinsRouter is running OpenWRT13:32
awilkins(rather old build of it)13:32
awilkinsHaving sshd on your router 4tw13:33
ali1234ssh is really slow on those things :/13:33
awilkinsAll I use it for is tunnelling traffic mostly13:33
awilkinsCan peg my upstream bandwidth, so it's fast enough13:33
ali1234bandwidth isn't the issue... the slooooow cpu in most routers is13:37
ali1234unless you have a x86 routerboard or something13:37
awilkinsali1234, No, it's a Broadcom13:37
awilkinsIt's ancient13:37
ali1234so MIPS then... and not even a good one13:38
awilkinsHas crappy WIFI but it all still works well enough that I haven't desired the pain of changing it13:38
MooDoomy router just patched a major flaw in it sigh!13:38
ali1234i have a MIPS NAS somewhere, it can't even sustain 10mb and that's without encryption13:38
ali1234speaking of NAS, should i get a kirkwood one that can run debian or red sleeve, or just get a HP microserver?13:39
ali1234i'm going to put it in a cupboard so it should be low power/ low heat13:40
awilkinsI suppose I could use my ISPs router instead and stick a Pi in the loop to do my current routing13:40
ali1234meh, Pi isn't exactly fast either13:40
diddledanI've got an RB2011 box doing my routing13:41
awilkinsTried to use my laptop as a bridge for my Pi but bridging wlan0 to eth0 is fiddly13:41
diddledanhttp://routerboard.com/RB2011L13:42
ali1234nah, it's easy13:42
awilkinsali1234, Fiddlier than typing two commands :-)13:42
ali1234well yeah13:42
awilkinsYou need to install some packages and configure them13:42
ali1234it's three commands13:42
diddledanthree-finger-salute13:44

dogmatic69_ali1234:  how about http://www.lbreda.com/grive/start14:11
dogmatic69_you can just sync the dropbox folder to drive14:11
ali1234the thing is, i don't want to deal with dropbox14:11
dogmatic69_well do it once, then delete db14:12
ali1234i can't14:12
ali1234people insist on using it to share files with me14:12
dogmatic69_oh you dont have dropbox already14:12
dogmatic69_I see...14:12
ali1234i have dropbox14:12
ali1234i don't want to install their software14:12
ali1234i don't want to log in to their website14:12
ali1234i just want a copy of the files people shared with me on dropbox inside my drive14:13
MartijnVdSali1234: Synology's 5.0 firmware beta has an app that can connect to both.. I guess if you select the same directory, it'll sync them of for you14:13
dogmatic69_well both drive and dropbox have an api so it would be possible to write a script and run it on a cron14:13
