| TAFB | mybalzitch: thanks, I'll give it a go. I installed x11vnc but it always says connection activly refused | 08:10 |
| TAFB | I followed the Vivid+ instructions, when I try and connected with tightvnc is says the target machine actively refused it :( | 08:15 |
| mybalzitch | OK | 08:16 |
| mybalzitch | do you have a firewall? | 08:16 |
| TAFB | on the vps? I don't think so. | 08:16 |
| mybalzitch | an/ythin/g show up in/ iptables -Lvn | 08:16 |
| TAFB | No chain/target/match by that name. | 08:17 |
| mybalzitch | oh | 08:17 |
| mybalzitch | iptables -L -v -n | 08:17 |
| TAFB | http://pastie.org/pastes/10739491/text | 08:18 |

| lordievader | Good morning. | 09:37 |
| velusunivers-sys | hello is there any way to restrict root access from ssh to a certain ip address? | 10:49 |
| lordievader | Yes, set up key access and allow that key only to be used from a certain ip. | 10:50 |
| velusunivers-sys | how do i do that | 10:50 |
| velusunivers-sys | key as in ssh key? | 10:50 |
| lordievader | Preferable ssh as a user and use sudo to do root stuff. | 10:50 |
| lordievader | Preferably* | 10:50 |
| mybalzitch | don/'t allow root login/s rem;otely | 10:51 |
| lordievader | velusunivers-sys: Yes, ssh keys. | 10:51 |
| velusunivers-sys | i want to avoid ssh keys | 10:51 |
| lordievader | Why? | 10:51 |
| velusunivers-sys | because i have more than one system that will access them, and there is like 12 servers, i dont want to have 12 keys and hav to put them one like 5 computers and 3 tablets | 10:52 |
| velusunivers-sys | i just want to restrit root to one ip addess | 10:53 |
| lordievader | You can reuse keys? I have one to access most of my servers. | 10:54 |
| velusunivers-sys | but still thats means i would have to put it on 5 computers and on 3 tablets | 10:54 |
| lordievader | Puppet that stuff ;) | 10:55 |
| lordievader | Anyhow, if there are no other uses for ssh you could just firewall ssh access. | 10:55 |
| lordievader | http://www.unixlore.net/articles/five-minutes-to-even-more-secure-ssh.html | 10:56 |
| velusunivers-sys | ok so just fiewall it to one ip? | 10:56 |
| lordievader | That, or read the link I just posted. | 10:56 |
| velusunivers-sys | ok | 10:56 |
| shauno | another option is to use /etc/security/access.conf (you'd need to uncomment pam_access.so in /etc/pam.d/sshd ) | 10:58 |
| velusunivers-sys | ok | 10:58 |
| lordievader | As usual, there are many roads to Rome ;) | 10:59 |
| velusunivers-sys | but only one which is direct | 10:59 |
| velusunivers-sys | does caldav and carddav have to be on a ldap? can it be used with mysql? | 11:11 |
| NwS | Heya guys, would it be ok to use fail2ban on huge log files? 7-8gb size | 14:45 |
| bekks | NwS: fail to ban is not used on logfiles, it has a totally other purpose. Truncate and compress logfiles using logrotate. | 14:58 |
| NwS | bekks, I want to use it to ban bruteforce attacks on a few WP sites. So it will check out access_log of each website. Those logs are combined with webalizer and I can't logrotate them hmm | 15:00 |
| NwS | Unless I am doing something wrong :/ | 15:00 |
| bekks | NwS: If you cannot logrotate them, you are using webalizer the wrong way. | 15:01 |
| bekks | NwS: webalizer can perfectly handle logrotated logs. | 15:01 |
| NwS | bekks, hmm fml. I didn't alter anything tbh I was just using webalizer and now I've got a few huge files | 15:01 |
| bekks | NwS: Yeah, the default config is useless :) | 15:02 |
| NwS | The rest logs are being logrotated | 15:02 |
| bekks | So configure your webalizer and logrotate your webserver logs. | 15:03 |
| NwS | Everything under /var/log works good, the ones I am talking about are under log/virtualmin | 15:03 |
| bekks | It doesnt matter where the logs are stored. | 15:03 |
| NwS | I mean they are supposed to logrotate | 15:03 |
| NwS | But everything under that folder doesn't | 15:04 |
| bekks | Then configure logrotate, too. | 15:04 |
| NwS | ty mate I'll look it up | 15:08 |

| Poindexter_ | Is anyone here familiar with ircd-ircd2 ? | 21:25 |
| Poindexter_ | It is actually ircd-irc2 sorry for the mistake. | 21:26 |
| Poindexter_ | It is a Debian IRC server. | 21:26 |
| bekks | No, we are just meta question experts, and redirecting Debian server support to the the Debian support community. | 21:27 |
| Poindexter_ | Hello again Bekks. Nice to see you again. | 21:27 |
| mybalzitch | Poindexter_: why not use something like inspircd? | 21:27 |
| JanC | or any of the 300 other irc servers? ;) | 21:28 |
| bekks | Or even Ubuntu? :P | 21:29 |
| Poindexter_ | Mybalzitch I never read about that. Freenode uses ircd-seven | 21:29 |
| Poindexter_ | The server I installed works fine I did a sudo apt-get install <server> works OK but ran into a crazy problem. | 21:30 |
| bekks | Poindexter_: And whats the Ubuntu relevance of your Debian server? | 21:31 |
| JanC | seems like ircd-irc2 is the IRCnet ircd | 21:31 |
| Poindexter_ | Bekks, when logging into 192.168.***.*** the MOTD says it is a Debian based ircd. | 21:32 |
| RoyK | Poindexter_: perhaps #debian is the place to haunt | 21:32 |
| bekks | Poindexter_: Whats the relevance of your debian problem to Ubuntu? | 21:32 |
| bekks | Please seek debian support in #debian | 21:33 |
| mybalzitch | bekks: I'd hate to see him interrupt the endless waves of joins/parts with his questions :P | 21:33 |
| JanC | is it running on Debian or does it just say so? | 21:33 |
| mybalzitch | Poindexter_: you can edit the MOTD you know :) | 21:34 |
| bekks | So thats the confirmation of your rrefusal to provide information. | 21:53 |
| Poindexter_ | Bekks, my mistake and I will say that I should have made a copy of the original file as a backup. I repent for that error. I should have known better. | 21:54 |
| bekks | Poindexter_: I dont care anymore. | 21:54 |
| bekks | You had 5 chances now. You missed them all. Please keep me out of that issue. Thanks. | 21:54 |
| Poindexter_ | Bekks, I bid you a fine day. There is no isssue. It was just a simple oversight on my part not copying a text file. MOTD is nothing but a text file. | 21:54 |
| Poindexter_ | It was a permissions issue. | 21:54 |
| bekks | Please do not hilight me any further. | 21:54 |
