[13:48] 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? [21:55] what does: "su znc -" (without the quotes) do? [21:56] it's asking for a password [21:56] I created a user via: "adduser --disabled-password znc" [22:08] ScriptGeek: run "sudo -i" first to become root [22:09] "su - znc" (not su znc -") will make you turn into the znc user with that user's environment [22:09] su means "switch user" (albeit misunderstood to mean "superuser") [22:10] RoyK: I'm following these instructions: https://www.vultr.com/docs/install-and-setup-znc-on-ubuntu [22:12] su - znc and su znc - both ask for passwords, but I didn't set a password [22:12] ScriptGeek: are you root? [22:12] yes [22:13] what's the output of "id"? [22:14] uid=1000(znc) gid=1000(znc) groups=1000(znc) [22:14] then you're not root, you're znc [22:14] does this mean I logged in as znc anyways, despite the message about authentication failed? [22:15] if you're root, the prompt ends in a #, if you're a normal user, it's a $ [22:15] but I need some sleep now - good luck [22:15] kk, thanks for the help [22:32] looks like vultr's ubuntu images only set up a root user by default, no sudo user. [22:33] 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. [22:35] there's this (unsupported, as every other) PPA which provides znc builds: https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/znc [22:36] ScriptGeek: ^ [22:37] * teward received a ping [22:37] * teward sees it was a passive ping [22:37] * teward goes back to watching TV [22:37] sorry ;-) [22:37] you're fine. [22:38] i'll try to remember to urlencode your nick in urls i post in the future ;-) [22:39] heheheh [22:39] tomreyn: nah you're good. I'm just not 100% IRC-capable today :p [22:39] been busy redesigning my network :P [22:39] networks* [22:39] * teward has two internet connections and therefore two independent LANs in his apartment [22:39] uuh, that' sunderstandable then [22:43] tomreyn: ESPECIALLY getting the two networks talking between each other for DNS purposes, that was the trickiest xD [22:43] VPNs are *not fun* :P [22:45] spam-balancing [22:46] heheh [22:47] 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] :P [22:51] i can think of one or two better way to spend a sunday night. ;) [23:00] pfsense can do loadbalancing, iirc
