The password I was sent just simply will not be accepted. This is what happens http://pastebin.com/WumnhqL3 . I have no idea how to fix it. [04:55] cognitios: are you sure the username on the remote server is also cognitios? [04:56] it might be for the root account, or ubuntu account, or maybe some other account [04:56] I'm not entirely sure, that's my digital ocean user name. [04:57] Nothing has been done to it, I haven't even logged into the server before === CiPi is now known as cipi [07:25] is it somehow possible to use a tpm for measured booting an UEFI server?

[10:41] Hello, I need some help to configure my vps firewall, I'm a newbie in networking and I don't know much about its concepts, I do like to learn about networking related to internet (not local networking), but I'm really busy until end of summer and I don't have enough time for it, for now I should config my vps firewall as soon as possible, I need some help with that. can anyone help me? [10:41] btw I'm sorry if my english is not very good... [11:19] don't ask to ask atralheaven_ [11:19] http://sol.gfxile.net/dontask.html [11:21] atralheaven_: Know what is running on your server, know what ports it uses. Firewall all other ports. [11:21] For starters ;) [11:24] Firewalling unused ports reminds me of snake oil. [11:24] You dont need to firewall a port which is not used by any service. [11:25] You might not want to tell the other party nothing is running ;) [11:26] More likely, you dont want to tell the other party what is running. [11:26] That is true, hence I said for starters ;) [11:40] you mean I should explain my problem with details directly? [11:40] Yes... [11:44] actually im just worry about email ports, my vps runs openvpn. and there are client's using it, I just want to keep them from being able to send spam emails [11:45] I want to block email ports [11:47] You dont want that, [11:47] I've blocked them with ufw on my vps, but there is another firewall from my vps provider panel [11:47] disabling email ports will disable email for ALL clients. [11:47] yes [11:47] You want to configure your email server instead, so only authenticated clients can send email. [11:47] That has nothing to do with firewalling. [11:49] may you explain more? the vps is only for running as openvpn server, I don't use email with it [11:49] You said your clients are using the VPS for sending emails. [11:50] they're connecting to my server with openvpn, and they can do that [11:51] So if you disable email ports, your clients will not be able to send email. [11:52] my clients use gmail or yahoo mail web interface, I think blocking email port is ok? is there an alternative way? [11:52] You said your clients use your VPS to send email. [11:52] I want to prevent abusing the server [11:53] If they are using yahoo mail foo, they are not using your VPS. [11:53] So are they using your VPS or not? [11:54] they use my vps as openvpn server [11:54] So they dont use your server for emailing. [11:55] Then - instead of firewalling - configure your VPS for localhost mail purposes only. [11:55] No need for a firewall. [11:56] so when someone use my vps as openvpn server, he can't send emails using my server? I just want to prevent abusing [11:57] 0815 135510 < bekks> Then - instead of firewalling - configure your VPS for localhost mail purposes only. [12:06] may you give me some keywords to google so I can find a guide to see how can I do that [12:15] I should have a basic idea of what it is and how it works, but I even don't know what should I look for [12:16] I've been using linux on my computers for several years, but I'm new to the client-server world === JanC_ is now known as JanC === lukasa is now known as lukasa_away === lukasa_away is now known as lukasa [15:50] ok i am having issues getting rails to work on apache (passenger) with ubuntu on a production server (not really its my dev server, but it is serving webpages) I am pretty sure it has something to do with the Virtual Host config [15:52] my structure is /www/www/ to the root. (complicated) that site is a php site, within a subdirectory (railsTest) I want to run a rails app. Not sure how to set up 000-default.conf === lukasa is now known as lukasa_away === lukasa_away is now known as lukasa === cipi is now known as CiPi === ksx4system_ is now known as ksx4system [18:10] anybody know apache - passenger [18:10] apache is not showing up in passenger-memory-stats [18:22] hi I heared it is a bad idea to put mysql into a kvm vm, is it the case ? [19:06] jonathan_: Where did you hear that? [19:07] a friend who did a lots of it for the asterisk company, saying the io is very slow [19:21] it shouldn't be "very slow" when done properly [19:22] maybe he was running it on a CoW disk image or something like that... [19:24] and/or not using virtio [19:29] cow shouldn't be bad, unless it was setup horrible [19:29] cow should be good [19:30] cause you won't have any random writes :) [19:36] is there good resources to help me optimize the image [19:36] we are using virtio for sure [19:37] and don't use an image :) [19:38] what do you mean ? [19:44] what is an *image*? [19:44] generally the issue with using cow, is what your using it ontop of [19:45] you can't just think of one layer, you have to remember all the layers your doing, and how they interact with each other [19:45] and remember mysql uses 16k page sizes [19:45] so you should be optimizingfor 16k [20:15] thanks for the tips === dcmorton_ is now known as dcmorton === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
