| marcoagpinto | Heya | 03:49 |
| * sarnold hides his cola | 03:49 | |
| marcoagpinto | sarnold: How did you know I am drinking some? | 03:49 |
| marcoagpinto | at 4am | 03:49 |
| marcoagpinto | :p | 03:49 |
| sarnold | hahahaha | 03:50 |
| daftykins | we heard the *PTZZZZ* of it opening | 03:50 |
| marcoagpinto | ohhhhhh | 03:51 |
| marcoagpinto | :) | 03:51 |
| marcoagpinto | 11 months for 22.04LTS :) | 03:52 |
| marcoagpinto | I can hardly wait to download it | 03:52 |
| daftykins | sounds a little too much like version chasing again rather than desire for something with a justified purpose | 03:54 |
| marcoagpinto | I can hardly wait to see the new features | 03:56 |
| marcoagpinto | :) | 03:56 |
| marcoagpinto | even the supermarket now uses Linux | 03:56 |
| marcoagpinto | :) | 03:56 |
| marcoagpinto | I noticed when I rebooted the checkout computer | 03:56 |
| JanC | you mean the debit/credit card terminal? | 03:58 |
| JanC | or the actual "cash register" | 03:59 |
| marcoagpinto | "cach register" | 03:59 |
| marcoagpinto | cash* | 03:59 |
| marcoagpinto | they used to have Windows XP Retail or something like that | 03:59 |
| marcoagpinto | they now have Linux | 03:59 |
| JanC | it's not that long ago many cash registers ran on DOS :) | 04:05 |
| JanC | probably running a terminal shwing stuff that actually runs on a central server | 04:06 |
| Walex2 | JanC: no, it was really MS-DOS applications, it does not take a lot to run a cash register. | 15:10 |
| imrjd | hello | 16:43 |
| daftykins | TJ-: \o hope you're well! do you remember i was playing with samba multiuser mounts a bit ago? they work for a user that logs in via SSH, i.e. the password they log in with is temporarily cached by cifscreds - but after a few minutes it unmounts again, i'm trying to find a way to make it persistent | 18:39 |
| daftykins | if writing it up in more detail would be beneficial, i can get started on that | 18:40 |
| TJ- | daftykins: I've never used CIFS/Samba due to all the issues it seems to cause | 18:46 |
| daftykins | hrmm, well the overall task is that i want a web application (R-Studio) to allow 3 users to access data from a NAS, so perhaps there are multiple options | 18:48 |
| daftykins | i don't have experience with NFS, but can the host OS mount an NFS share... then 4 separate users work upon it with their logins to handle permissions? | 18:50 |
| daftykins | i was under the impression NFS doesn't do any authentication handling | 18:50 |
| leftyfb | daftykins: what about bind mounting the NFS share into eachof their home dirs? | 18:52 |
| daftykins | would that take a different form and have some benefit over just having it mounted to e.g. /mnt/share and symlinking to a directory in each of their ~ ? | 18:53 |
| leftyfb | symlinking would require them to have access to the filesystem(s) they need to traverse to get to the share. This way, they only need permissions to the files in it, assuming you bind mount it for each user properly | 18:54 |
| rfm | daftykins, NFS does have authentication, but it | 18:56 |
| daftykins | hmm i wonder if this is what i should have been using with samba to begin with | 18:56 |
| rfm | daftykins, its kinda weak. basically anybody with root access to any system on the net can break it. If you trust all the systems on the net it might be OK (I use it) | 18:58 |
| daftykins | hmm, well all i need is for this web application (which has a file browser in its' UI, looking at the logged-in user's ~) to hold onto being able to browse this mount, but it's a real shame that the directory isn't visible until i SSH in and ls in ~ | 19:00 |
| daftykins | and of course now i'm looking at it, it hasn't dropped yet in over 15 minutes | 19:01 |
