[17:33] <|usefedora> Anyone have ideas on how to troubleshoot? [17:34] |usefedora, https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#WPA-PSK_and_WPA2-PSK [17:34] see point 3 [17:34] that should suffice [17:34] <|usefedora> ogra_: thanks, i'll have a look. [17:36] <|usefedora> ogra_: i'd been using http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-add-wireless-lan-adaptor-static-ip-ubuntu-auto-connects-startup [17:36] <|usefedora> should i not use the hex encoded psk value that it says to? [17:43] <|usefedora> ogra_: any more ideas? [18:10] help. my ubuntu server is churning file IO. [18:11] i think i have malware [18:11] iotop shows a process running "sendmail" [18:11] "sendmail: MTA: ./somehexstring from queue [18:11] and it just goes on like that indefinitely [18:11] i killed it [18:11] it came back in a few minutes [18:12] im pretty new to linux servers but i cant figure out what i must have done wrong to get malware [18:13] assuming this is malware [18:13] i dont know what to do though to remove it [18:13] i installed clamav and am going to try that [18:14] mostly though im wondering if this is a known problem (sendmail spinning all day long churning file IO) [18:14] because im new to linux and servers and it could be legitimate, but i cant figure out any legitmate reason to churn io and have "sendmail" running on a box i dont use mail on [18:22] nobody? [18:22] im seriously thinking of just reinstalling the os [18:22] though i hope i can learn something form this [18:22] from* [18:24] tl;dr [18:26] tldr: i think i have malware sending mail [18:26] tldr ubuntu security sucks if you want to get quippey :P [18:26] jk === Havenstance_ is now known as Havenstance [18:30] Can you please form a full support question on one line, and watch your language please? [18:31] what language? [18:32] Impolite language. [18:32] like "tldr"? [18:32] Like your opinion about ubuntu security. [18:32] question: is theres something wrong when iptop shows a "sendmail" process running perpetually, when I have none of my own mail use on this box? [18:33] No, there is nothing wrong. If your server is idleing so much that even sendmail makes it up to the top ten, then every is alright. [18:33] the HD is churning heavily [18:33] when i kill it the audible churn stops [18:34] IO >90% from iotop [18:34] iirc (ill check again when it starts up again) [18:34] The check the sendmail logs whats going on. [18:35] cat /var/log/mail.log | wc -l [18:35] 594075 [18:35] is that normal? [18:36] filled with stuff like: [18:36] Mar 23 08:21:19 computebox sm-mta[10463]: s2K6l55T009136: Warning: program /usr/sbin/sensible-mda unsafe: No such file or directory Mar 23 08:21:19 computebox sm-mta[10463]: s2K6l55T009136: SYSERR(root): Cannot exec /usr/sbin/sensible-mda: No such file or directory Mar 23 08:21:19 computebox sm-mta[5310]: s2K6l55T009136: to=root, delay=3+08:28:41, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=43500000, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Operating system error [18:36] .... and the disk noises have started up again [18:36] Then check your sendmail installation. Note the "no suche file..." messages. [18:37] hmm well its not 90% like i thought at least [18:37] you might be right, its jsut 0.27% IO but still making ht disk churn audibly until i kill it [18:38] i never installed sendmail myself unless i assume it comes with ubuntu server [18:39] You'd better worry about the other 99.73% I/O. [18:40] oh yeah [18:40] it was some archive manager [18:40] or something about dfile system archiving i think [18:40] but yeah now that i killed it [18:40] the 99% io is gone [18:40] now that i killed the sendmail thing, that is [18:40] it'll come back in a few minutes like it always does [18:40] Can you please NOT use enter as a punctuation sign? [18:40] Thank you. [18:42] are there rules for chat for this channel i can read somewhere? [18:42] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [18:42] i see no mention of punctuation. [18:43] And not using enter is just nettiquette, not a guideline. [18:43] depends on who you're talking to. [18:44] To make it pretty easy for you: if you want to continue talking with me, dont use enter as a punctuation sign. Thank you. [18:44] i'd rather get my tech advise from someone who is mentally stable [18:44] you may want to see your doctor about OCD or something of that sort [18:44] ac500: Ignore set. Good luck. [18:44] thanks you. [18:44] :P [18:46] wow i hope all of the ubuntu community isnt as abrasive and demanding (whining about punctuation, reacting with 'tldr' when nobody else is in the room, etc) as bekks [18:46] im going to go try the centos forums even though thats a different distro, and maybe move over if they're more friendly [18:46] i mean irc) [18:47] I'm learning system administration and http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/IP-Adresse_wechseln says that I can edit my ip address in /etc/network/interfaces [18:47] shredding: Yes, it does. [18:47] i was able to do that [18:47] its only on a local level though [18:48] Did I misunderstood something fundamentally on the internet or can everyone just say: This is my ip address? [18:48] (of course) so you cant change your public ip [18:48] How do I know if it's already in use. [18:48] no you cant do that [18:48] thats up to your ISP [18:48] shredding: you did misunderstand something fundamentally. :) [18:48] the IP address you assign is just local to your home router / network [18:48] That's what i thought ac500 [18:48] but this helps though [18:48] so for example i set up a script that updates my DNS every 5 minutes to whatever my public IP is [18:48] shredding: you have to use the IP adress(es) assigned to you by your internet provider. [18:48] so, if i have a server, which network is meant there? [18:48] then my router forwards the traffic to the static local IP i set for my linux box [18:49] shredding: there's also reserved ranges that are used for internal networks [18:49] shredding: Ask your server provider. [18:49] shredding: You can use any of those to your hearts content [18:49] Okay, so it's a private network on behalf of my server provider. [18:49] No. [18:49] bekks: he might be nat'd you never know [18:49] It is a public network which is devided into subnets which are administered by different providers. [18:50] bekks: What is a public network? [18:50] I'm referring to that network that hosts the ip in my /etc/network/interfaces [18:50] shredding: the opposite of the "private" network you mentioned seconds ago. [18:51] shredding: You have to know which IP was assigned to you by your provider. This IP is to be setup in /etc/network/interfaces [18:51] Okay, but the ip in /etc/network/interfaces belongs to a private network. [18:51] shredding: Where is that server located? [18:51] it's not a specific server, I want to understand how it works. [18:51] but for the sake of this discussion, say it's digitalocean [18:51] /etc/network/interfaces comes preconfigured there. [18:51] Then ask digitalocean which IP they assigned to you. [18:52] And that's the one in /etc/network/interfaces? [18:52] If it is located in your home LAN, then assign an IP from the network you are using. [18:52] Okay, i come to understand: The ip in /etc/network/interfaces is not the ip that connects to "the internet" (e.g. is publicly available) but to the network of my server provider. [18:53] And that network is connected to an isp. [18:53] Is that close to the truth? [18:53] shredding: No. [18:53] damn [18:53] Far away actually. [18:53] shredding: Since this is far beyond ubuntu support, and since you are reading german actually, you're better of in #ubuntu-de-offtopic [18:54] k [18:54] thanks
