tch3ki have installed postfix and i want to send email to yahoo account but it can not, i put in relayhost smtp.yahoo.com05:40
=== DenBeiren is now known as zz_DenBeiren
OpenTokixtch3k: what does your mail-log say? - I would assume "relaying not allowed"07:06
OpenTokixtch3k: Start by configuring your postfix to send directly07:07
tch3kit says something like my ip address is banned07:28
tch3ki don't know if it exists free relays so i can't put it in the relayshost field so it will send the mail by it self07:29
stanford_droneDoes anyone know C/C++, Computer Vision/Image Processing, Machine Learning, AI, linux systems programming, or electronics? I'm looking for a programmer to join my Startup. We're going to China (manufacturing is there) from July to November. We're a team of 4. We're building a flying computer. A drone that you can play games with and install apps on.08:14

DammitJimsilly question... is it normal that if I set my ubuntu server to do automatic critical updates for the machine to tell me that it needs to be restarted?12:03
DammitJimit's happened at least twice in the last 3 weeks12:03
=== ashleyd is now known as ashd
rbasakDammitJim: if you're using unattended-upgrades, you can configure for automatic reboots when required if you like.12:12
rbasakDammitJim: apart from that, what else do you expect to happen?12:13
DammitJimrbasak, I guess my question is more with regards to if this is normal?12:13
rbasakDammitJim: kernel updates are normal, and updating a kernel requires a reboot.12:13
DammitJimI'm new to Ubuntu with a configuration like this12:13
DammitJimI understand that kernel updates are normal12:13
DammitJimbut are there that many updates going on all the time?12:14
DammitJimI don't mind the updates... just trying to figure out what is normal12:14
rbasakYes, updates are common.12:14
DammitJimso that I can have an expectation as to how often I need to schedule a maintenance window12:14
rbasakIf you want to see what's going on, take a look in /var/log/apt/history.log12:14
DammitJimrbasak, that's very helpful12:14
rbasakFor a given package, you can see its changelog in /usr/share/doc/<package>/changelog.Debian.gz12:14
DammitJimman, that's a job in itself, huh? to keep up with all the updates that need to be done to the servers...12:16
DammitJimis there a good URL where "critical" updates are posted?12:16
rbasakunattended-upgrades works nicely :)12:16
DammitJimso I know when I definitely need to apply some?12:16
rbasakhttp://www.ubuntu.com/usn/12:17
DammitJimyeah, they sound great... but I don't want my servers rebooting w/o me knowing12:17
DammitJimthanks! that link is bookmarked!12:17
rbasakYou can configure whether you want automatic updates or not.12:17
rbasakAlso whether you just want security updates or all updates.12:17
rbasakFor example you can set unattended-upgrades to do security updates only, and do manual updates yourself.12:17
rbasak(for non-security update)12:17
DammitJimI have security updates only12:17
DammitJimto be applied automatically12:18
DammitJimhow about the reboot part12:18
DammitJimcan you schedule the reboot to only happen at a specific time?12:18
=== ashleyd is now known as ashd
rbasakLooks like it, in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades12:20
rbasakUnattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot-Time "02:00";12:20
DammitJimnice!12:21
DammitJimseparate question... this is a file server... I guess if someone was using something on that file server, they'll just loose connectivity to this samba share12:22

Wolfspyre1Hello gents,19:01
Wolfspyre1My infrastructure is a mix of ubuntu 12 and 14 lts. I'm working on a motd chef cookbook, which utilizes the update-motd.d paradigm to generate a dynamic motd on login. I'm seeing the dynamic motd file get generated intermittently.19:01
Wolfspyre1both /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/ssh have pam_motd.so included. I've not found a rhyme or reason for when it gets updated and when it doesn't.19:01
Wolfspyre1 If I didn't want to display real-time ish information at login, it wouldn't REALLY matter that much19:02
Wolfspyre1and if I can't get this working, I'll likely just have chef generate /etc/motd statically, and rip out the more dynamic things.19:02
=== Wolfspyre1 is now known as Wolfspyre
Wolfspyre I'd _LIKE_ to get to the bottom of the intermittent updates though. Does anyone know how the pam_motd magic works well enough to help me sort out what I'm doing wrong?19:02
Wolfspyre(appreciate the help, and this channel's existence regardless)19:03
=== ashleyd is now known as ashd
sarnoldWolfspyre: you may need to modify the individual scripts that update-motd runs19:07
sarnoldWolfspyre: see the bit about caching output inthe update-motd(5) manpage19:07
WolfspyreHi sarnold. Thanks for the pointer. Lemme look real quick and see if that seems like the culprit.19:09
=== ashleyd is now known as ashd
Wolfspyre Hm. I don't THINK that's quite relevant in this case. Chef is currently generating a script which does an echo, then cat <<EOS with a bunch of ascii. I have a few other additional scripts which will have more dynamic data, but this one isn't. I don't think the target /var/run/motd file is being re-generated, as the date hasn't changed. Removing /var/run/motd causes no motd to be displayed at all… so it feels like pam_motd.so 19:20
Wolfspyreroot@ops-c1:~# egrep '^session.*motd' /etc/pam.d/*19:20
Wolfspyre/etc/pam.d/login:session    optional   pam_motd.so  motd=/var/run/motd19:20
sarnolddon't forget login is used only by *getty-spawned logins...19:20
Wolfspyresarnold:  Thanks!  I'19:25
Wolfspyred initially had pam_motd.so in sshd, but wasn't specifying motd=/var/run/motd in that entry.19:26
Wolfspyrenow:19:26
sarnoldWolfspyre: all sorted? :)19:26
Wolfspyreroot@ops-c1:~# egrep '^session.*motd' /etc/pam.d/*19:26
Wolfspyre/etc/pam.d/login:session    optional   pam_motd.so  motd=/var/run/motd19:26
Wolfspyre/etc/pam.d/sshd:session    optional     pam_motd.so motd=/var/run/motd19:26
Wolfspyrethat seems to work much closer to the way I'd anticipated.19:26
Wolfspyrethank you VERY much for pointing me in the right direction. it's sincerely apprecaited.19:27
sarnoldnice :)19:27
