| Moobuntu001_ | If I have an ubuntu server with a 802.11AC PCIe Adapter, what package do I use to broadcast the SSID and manage WiFi clients, and how do I throttle the up and down speed for individual clients? | 13:48 |
|---|---|---|
| ScriptGeek | what does: "su znc -" (without the quotes) do? | 21:55 |
| ScriptGeek | it's asking for a password | 21:56 |
| ScriptGeek | I created a user via: "adduser --disabled-password znc" | 21:56 |
| RoyK | ScriptGeek: run "sudo -i" first to become root | 22:08 |
| RoyK | "su - znc" (not su znc -") will make you turn into the znc user with that user's environment | 22:09 |
| RoyK | su means "switch user" (albeit misunderstood to mean "superuser") | 22:09 |
| ScriptGeek | RoyK: I'm following these instructions: https://www.vultr.com/docs/install-and-setup-znc-on-ubuntu | 22:10 |
| ScriptGeek | su - znc and su znc - both ask for passwords, but I didn't set a password | 22:12 |
| RoyK | ScriptGeek: are you root? | 22:12 |
| ScriptGeek | yes | 22:12 |
| RoyK | what's the output of "id"? | 22:13 |
| ScriptGeek | uid=1000(znc) gid=1000(znc) groups=1000(znc) | 22:14 |
| RoyK | then you're not root, you're znc | 22:14 |
| ScriptGeek | does this mean I logged in as znc anyways, despite the message about authentication failed? | 22:14 |
| RoyK | if you're root, the prompt ends in a #, if you're a normal user, it's a $ | 22:15 |
| RoyK | but I need some sleep now - good luck | 22:15 |
| ScriptGeek | kk, thanks for the help | 22:15 |
| tomreyn | looks like vultr's ubuntu images only set up a root user by default, no sudo user. | 22:32 |
| tomreyn | ideally you'd have created a sudo user before creating the additional (restricted, non sudo) znc user. and then you'd always work as the sudo user, never (or only if strictly necessary) as root. | 22:33 |
| tomreyn | there's this (unsupported, as every other) PPA which provides znc builds: https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/znc | 22:35 |
| tomreyn | ScriptGeek: ^ | 22:36 |
| * teward received a ping | 22:37 | |
| * teward sees it was a passive ping | 22:37 | |
| * teward goes back to watching TV | 22:37 | |
| tomreyn | sorry ;-) | 22:37 |
| teward | you're fine. | 22:37 |
| tomreyn | i'll try to remember to urlencode your nick in urls i post in the future ;-) | 22:38 |
| teward | heheheh | 22:39 |
| teward | tomreyn: nah you're good. I'm just not 100% IRC-capable today :p | 22:39 |
| teward | been busy redesigning my network :P | 22:39 |
| teward | networks* | 22:39 |
| * teward has two internet connections and therefore two independent LANs in his apartment | 22:39 | |
| tomreyn | uuh, that' sunderstandable then | 22:39 |
| teward | tomreyn: ESPECIALLY getting the two networks talking between each other for DNS purposes, that was the trickiest xD | 22:43 |
| teward | VPNs are *not fun* :P | 22:43 |
| OerHeks | spam-balancing | 22:45 |
| teward | heheh | 22:46 |
| teward | OerHeks: also a lesson in how NOT to interoperate Ubuntu-driven/routed network systems to interconnect with pfSense and Sophos XG Firewall driven VPN systems. | 22:47 |
| teward | :P | 22:47 |
| tomreyn | i can think of one or two better way to spend a sunday night. ;) | 22:51 |
| OerHeks | pfsense can do loadbalancing, iirc | 23:00 |
