[00:34] <kingjere> Anyone have radicale working with PAM?
[02:29] <pmatulis> nope
[02:36] <xpistos> Hi all. Is there a way to create an NFS share from a USD Mounted Drive?
[02:37] <xpistos> I have a USB drive with christmas movies that I have attached to a server  and I would like to share it to  my laptop that has Plex Medie server attached on it.
[02:38] <xpistos> I have not been able to set it up like I normally do with my internal drives.
[02:39] <xpistos> I had set it up with a sshfs but now for some reason it is telling me "read: Connection reset by peer"
[02:57] <_1_kai> test
[03:40] <metrix> I want to backup a server via LVM snapshots to a NAS.  What options do I have for bullet proof LVM backups?
[03:46] <Patrickdk> make sure all your applications synced out their data
[07:55] <nunizacu> i was almost burn down on debian chanel for a joke, barely escaped
[14:35] <pmatulis> nunizacu: and you ran over here?
[19:32] <tkeith_> What's the best way to stop all services except the minimum for networking & remote SSH?
[19:35] <bekks> tkeith_: By stopping them 1 by 1, after ensuring you dont need them.
[19:48] <tkeith_> bekks: what about rebooting into single user mode? I found some online discussions that suggested that.
[19:49] <bekks> How would that help you?
[19:49] <bekks> Single user mode does not start networking nor ssh.
[19:51] <tkeith_> bekks: It looks like I could use an upstart override file to make networking & SSH start in single user mode
[19:51] <bekks> Thats more like a dirty hack than a sane approach.
[19:52] <bekks> Investigate all services being started, and stop them if you dont need them.
[19:53] <tkeith_> bekks: It seems like never starting the services in the first place is cleaner than hoping they all stop successfully and don't leave anything running. I thought the purpose of single user mode was for things like this?
[19:53] <bekks> No.
[19:54] <bekks> The purpose of the single user mode was to start a system with the least number of required services for being able to carry out operations that require the lowest number of services, etc. being started.
[19:55] <bekks> The intention of the single user mode never was "hack me because I dont want to configure my system properly"
[19:56] <tkeith_> How can I be sure that after stopping all services using "service stop" they don't leave any running processes?
[19:57] <bekks> BY looking at the process list.
[19:58] <tkeith_> bekks: How can I programmatically tell if any of the running processes are left over from the services?
[19:58] <bekks> BY looking at the process list.
[19:58] <bekks> You dont need to do that programmatically, you need to configure the service once.
[19:58] <tkeith_> bekks: I like the single user approach because, while it may be hacky, it does guarantee that it's in the state I want
[19:59] <tkeith_> bekks: I need to be able to get servers into this state programmatically, not manually
[19:59] <bekks> It does not guarantuee anything.
[20:00] <bekks> If you need to programmatically change services, you should not hack the single user mode, but you should learn to configure services properly.
[20:02] <tkeith_> bekks: How should I go about "learning to configure services properly"?
[20:03] <bekks> tkeith_: You could start here: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/
[20:03] <tkeith_> bekks: Are you really suggesting that I do anything other than "stop the services and hope all is well"?
[20:04] <bekks> tkeith_: Yes.
[20:04] <tkeith_> bekks: What are you suggesting?
[20:04] <bekks> I told you :)
[20:05] <bekks> Start getting familiar with what you are doing there instead of hacking and hoping.
[20:05] <tkeith_> bekks: No, you're just pointing me at the upstart guide, which tells me how to configure individual services, which is not part of what I'm trying to accomplish
[20:06] <bekks> I take that as "learning on how to do things properly is not what I'm trying to accomplish".
[20:06] <tkeith_> bekks: What are you suggesting I do after reading the upstart guide other than configuring individual services differently?
[20:07] <bekks> I told you, the answer will not change.
[20:07] <tkeith_> bekks: You didn't answer.
[20:07] <bekks> I did. Read again.
[20:08] <bekks> If you dont like the answer, I cant do a thing about it.
[20:11] <oldaphlp> hello, i'm struggling aginst what it seemed an easy operation in openldap, i got it mostly working aparently, but i'm stucked now from quite a few hours
[20:12] <oldaphlp> what i'm trying to do is to use the meta backend to show several remote containers (all from the same remote server) as one local container
[20:13] <oldaphlp> iow, the childs of the remote containers should look as if they are all in one container in the local server DIT
[20:15] <oldaphlp> with a single uri it works, even with auth forwarding. but when adding more uris, i get "operations error" and no amount of debugging has given me more about it
[22:33] <igoryonya> when I try to CONNECT on squid, I get the following error: URL http://94.100.180.228:2042/; The administrator may not allow this cache to make direct connections to origin servers. This only happens, when trying to CONNECT to ip addresses, when using domains, it works fine.
[22:45] <ReScO> what do i need to be able to send and recieve mail from my server?
[22:45] <bekks> You need to setup a mail server daemon, like postfix.
[22:46] <bekks> ReScO: Like this, e.g.: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
[22:46] <ReScO> so if i install the right software, people can send mail to me@domain.com?
[22:47] <bekks> ReScO: you need to install and - very important - configure the "right" software.
[22:47] <ReScO> i understand, but i'm more worried about the whole sending/recieving mail part
[22:47] <ReScO> do i need to pay for extra services or?
[22:48] <bekks> The whole sending/receiving mail part is done by configuring your mail server. Where is your server located?
[22:48] <ReScO> it's a VPS somewhere in Amsterdam
[22:49] <ReScO> no mail server software on it yet
[22:49] <ReScO> i have a external IP
[22:49] <bekks> Then you have to ask your hoster wether they charge by traffic, e.g.,
[22:50] <ReScO> ok, so if i configure everything, how does mailing to me@domain.com end up at my server?
[22:50] <ReScO> does it announce itself to other smtp servers?
[22:50] <maswan> That's what DNS is for
[22:51] <ReScO> so configure it properly and i can recieve mail for my domain, no extra services required?
[22:51] <maswan> other smtp servers look up the domain's MX records and use those IPs

[22:51] <lifeless> might be a useful read
[22:54] <ReScO> thanks
[22:56] <bekks> ReScO: You need to configure DNS as well.
