11:27.51 | dank_work | Hi irvined |
11:31.20 | irvined | hows it going? |
11:32.35 | ResuDaed_ | ~9~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
11:32.58 | dank_work | It's going okay. Slowly. It's a Friday. |
11:33.13 | dank_work | Was supposed to do a Collaboration install today, and InstallShield just doesn't run |
11:34.04 | irvined | heh, i was supposed to be doing a big 86 nod einstall today too |
11:34.17 | dank_work | And AutoVue for Java has fucked itself, so needs to be reinstalled. |
11:34.20 | irvined | but they phoned us up when we were loading the van and said, erm, we want to go do some shopping can you bring it back another time |
11:34.23 | dank_work | Which requires transferring the install file across to C&W |
11:34.27 | dank_work | :) |
11:35.09 | dank_work | Ahh. 100MBit networks. Transferring a 46Mb file in 5 seconds |
11:35.49 | dank_work | Heh |
11:35.55 | dank_work | How come? |
11:36.02 | irvined | myrinet :) |
11:36.16 | irvined | 2gb fully duplexed |
11:36.28 | dank_work | Cool. Nice |
11:36.28 | dank_work | :) |
11:36.34 | irvined | but its got two cards bonded whcih means about 3gb fully duplexed. |
11:36.52 | murb | mrinet isn't very cost effective. |
11:36.56 | murb | s/mr/my/ |
11:37.02 | irvined | no its rather expensive |
11:37.13 | irvined | i'm just testing it under score with bonding. |
11:37.25 | dank_work | But Ethernet only goes up to 1Gb ATM, although 10Gb is in development |
11:37.26 | irvined | Since LUNATIC has been invoked at leeds. |
11:37.47 | irvined | yeah ultimatly ethernet will be faster than myrinet but its the latency that makes it so cool. |
11:38.04 | dank_work | Or lack of it? |
11:38.11 | irvined | our customers like it for mpi data transfers since its like 5 microseconds between thinking about sending and actually being recieved. |
11:38.20 | dank_work | That's good |
11:38.26 | dank_work | That's very good |
11:38.50 | irvined | yeah its really cool, but its very expensive |
11:39.01 | irvined | 1000us a card, plus your switch and enclosure and cables etc |
11:39.03 | dank_work | Ethernet tends to be in the 100-ish microsecond region |
11:39.06 | irvined | but for hpc clusters its fantastic. |
11:39.32 | irvined | dank_work: if you use score they have low latency ethernet drivers whcih can get eepro100's down to <25 microseconds |
11:39.50 | dank_work | Hokay |
11:40.03 | irvined | the main trouble with latency at present si the time taken to transend the tcp stack |
11:40.15 | dank_work | Don't use IP then :) |
11:41.01 | irvined | heh, yeah, the score drivers still use tcp/ip but just not the kernel stack |
11:41.14 | irvined | (for mpi anyway) |
11:41.33 | irvined | so for an mpi job it just blasts out the tcp data to the card rather then letting the kernel encapsulate the message |
11:42.50 | dank_work | What about being really evil, and doing it over Econet? ;-) |
11:46.05 | highbury | morning guys |

13:45.45 | dank_work | Apart from Smoothwall and e-Smith, what other Linux firewalls are there? |
13:49.42 | eye69 | Anybody got Konqueror here? |
13:50.02 | Tarragon | Yes |
13:54.28 | highbury | yep |
14:55.12 | murb | dank; linux firewalls? |
14:55.32 | dank_work | yeah. or non-linux |
14:55.38 | murb | redstone |
14:55.47 | dank_work | I want to try out a few, and compare them |
14:55.53 | dank_work | URL? |
14:56.55 | murb | I think you have to buy their hardware, but it is http://www.redstone.uk.com |
14:57.07 | dank_work | Ah |
14:57.49 | dank_work | Ehr |
15:00.07 | murb | they sell boxes |
15:04.25 | dank_work | Ah. No - I was looking more at something that could be installed on a Standard PC |
15:09.21 | highbury | smoothwall! |
15:09.42 | highbury | They sell commercial versions of their GPL product |
15:11.12 | murb | what about the hardened linux distrbutions linux trustix whatever iti s claled? |
15:12.18 | dank_work | highbury: Yeah - I've downloaded Smoothwall and ipcop |
15:12.49 | dank_work | Isn't Trustix a full distribution, though? |
15:13.54 | murb | dank: I think so. |
15:14.32 | murb | I like to start with debian base and build my own fws. |
15:14.44 | dank_work | *nod* |
15:14.50 | murb | actually i like to start with one i've built before, even easier :) |
15:14.51 | dank_work | If I was doing that I'd definitely go with OpenBSD |
15:15.10 | dank_work | But basically, I've been asked to look at a few firewalls |
15:15.24 | highbury | Smoothwall 2.0 is now 2.4 based |
15:15.41 | dank_work | Got 1.0GPL |
15:17.07 | highbury | thats 2.2.23 based, and is now a static product, all further development is being done on 2.0 code base. |
15:17.21 | highbury | But do you want free or non-free firewall? |
15:17.29 | dank_work | Free |
15:19.27 | highbury | then stick to 2.0 gpl smoothwall |
15:19.36 | dank_work | Is 2.0GPL released? |
15:19.58 | dank_work | It didn't seem to be |
15:20.20 | highbury | its on rc2 but is unlikely to change too much. From reports it seems like its stable and close to final |
15:20.57 | highbury | smoothwall-2.0-bullet.iso is 24Mb |
15:21.43 | dank_work | We'd rather use a proper release |
15:32.24 | highbury | I'm not sure there are really that many, active, free, full distro, Linux Firewalls |
15:32.48 | highbury | most Linux Firwall solutions, are addons to other distro's |
15:33.18 | highbury | IMHO |
15:35.25 | dank_work | Seems so. I've got a 20Gb disk to play with |
15:37.09 | murb | dank: so you should be able to install several linux distros and openbsd :) |
15:40.55 | dank_work | yep. That's my idea :) |
15:41.13 | dank_work | How does Smoothwall play with sharing disks? |
15:44.34 | highbury | smoothwall, reformats the whole disk as part of its install, therefore must be installed first! |
15:44.53 | dank_work | Gr. What about ipcop? |
15:44.59 | dank_work | Given that it's based on SW |
15:45.39 | highbury | dunno, Jason used to play with it. Last I heard, its development had stalled, but I could be wrong |
15:46.09 | highbury | Slackware would be a possible choice :-) |
15:46.18 | dank_work | Obviously :) |
15:46.42 | dank_work | But maybe we'd use RedHat, as that's what we're moving our servers to (away from Rock) |
15:46.54 | highbury | LOL |
15:47.17 | highbury | Don't RedHat have a firewall solution? |
15:47.24 | dank_work | Yeah, costing lots of money |
15:47.34 | murb | dank: why are you moving away from rock? |
15:47.37 | highbury | Firewalls are really the same as other servers |
15:47.41 | murb | is it politcal PJ wise? |
15:47.45 | dank_work | Because rock is crap :) |
15:48.00 | dank_work | Well, Pj is the only one who likes Rock |
15:53.32 | dank_work | Anything fun going on there? |
16:01.53 | murb | dank: do you do md5 sums or somthing of the sources? |
16:02.02 | murb | or is it pkgsrc-- ? |
16:02.08 | dank_work | Sources for what? |
16:03.59 | murb | dank: for the bits you build rock linux from |
16:05.16 | dank_work | Oh right. I have no idea |
16:05.39 | dank_work | I've never built Rock up |
16:10.43 | murb | well isn't it about once a month you hear of some sources or other being trojaned? |
16:13.47 | dank_work | Yeah, I think so |
16:14.01 | dank_work | I wouldn't be surprised if they do some checks |
16:14.24 | dank_work | But I honestly don't know what they have |
16:17.42 | dank_work | under *BSD they check the MD5 of the downloaded tarball |
16:18.36 | murb | dank: indeed, what was why i was wondering |
16:19.32 | dank_work | It might give say on www.rocklinux.org |
16:19.36 | dank_work | ibot rock |
16:19.38 | | rock is probably kinda bsd-ish, too - in the future i'll probably transfer to rock, when it's default devfs doesn't screw up with xonox's partitioning nightmare |
16:20.01 | dank_work | Hm. It's SysV-style. And has been for some time |
16:23.33 | murb | well since it has a sysVish kernel what would you expect? |
16:31.01 | dank_work | With Rock, not much :) |
16:39.04 | dank_work | Presents! :) |
16:40.44 | dank_work | Although I'm not quite sure why I'd need an Angle Grinder & Drill Set - I've got the server room key already :-) |
16:41.53 | dank_work | Maybe to get into other people's server rooms... |

19:46.03 | ResuDaed | I am learning to do what peple doing tin the 70's |
19:46.25 | ResuDaed | I killed it trying to install proper drivers for my gfx card |
19:46.32 | ResuDaed | and I really CBA to fix it yet |
19:46.55 | Jenson | Ah well then you will soon get bored to BitchX and what to fix it. |
19:47.07 | Jenson | did you get X to recognize your soundcard properly? |
19:47.37 | ResuDaed | yes,, not just X though, I am using the dound card from the console (well to play cd's) |
19:48.05 | Jenson | Mine still gives me that damn error message. |
19:48.27 | Jenson | I've got the FD working slighlty better though, it will tell me what it on disks but usually won't load it. |
19:48.37 | ResuDaed | it is very difficult to tell the difference between d & s when you can't see the keys your pressing, I am relying on being a n3rd and knowing where all the buttons are |
19:48.52 | Jenson | lol when i do that i fuck up |
19:48.58 | Jenson | Actually I'm getting better at it. |
19:49.11 | ResuDaed | what sound card you using? |
19:49.18 | Jenson | I got very good at typind cd\doom in the dark |
19:49.24 | Jenson | Soundblaster 16 pro |
19:49.42 | Jenson | Least I think it is...I should check |
19:49.48 | ResuDaed | ok, I think that comes under emu10k1 (there's noone here to tell me I'm wrong) |
19:49.58 | ResuDaed | + I don't have the internet to check properly |
19:50.28 | Jenson | Yeah it does |
19:50.30 | ResuDaed | wahey, text web browser |
19:50.30 | Jenson | I know that |
19:50.39 | ResuDaed | you know what? |
19:50.50 | Jenson | the emu10k1 think |
19:50.54 | Jenson | ^thing |
19:51.07 | ResuDaed | type lsmod |
19:51.49 | ResuDaed | (probably need to be root) |
19:56.30 | ResuDaed | u back yet? |
19:56.49 | Jenson | am now |
19:56.56 | Jenson | WAs getting dinner |
19:57.01 | ResuDaed | do an lsmod as root |
19:57.22 | Jenson | I'm not gonna be here long either....mate should be calling in about 15 mins and I hope we'll be able to go out |
19:57.28 | Jenson | I shall write that on my hand lol |
19:57.35 | ResuDaed | that won't help |
19:57.37 | ResuDaed | :-) |
19:57.42 | Jenson | :) |
19:58.13 | ResuDaed | you not got the box there (2 min job) |
19:58.20 | Jenson | No I haven't |
19:58.23 | Jenson | It's in my room |
19:58.33 | ResuDaed | ah well, might be too big for hand, try paper |
19:58.45 | Jenson | I'm trying to eat my dinner (which I shouldn't do whilst chatrting coz it'll make me fewel sick) |
19:59.06 | ResuDaed | ok ?¿?¿ |
19:59.23 | ResuDaed | as root ... |
19:59.29 | Jenson | yeah] |
19:59.30 | ResuDaed | lsmod |
19:59.47 | ResuDaed | if you see emu10k1 listed ther, this isn't the problem |
19:59.59 | ResuDaed | (in which case I don't know) |
20:00.22 | Jenson | I had problems with the emu10k1 files in Windows.....I'v met that one before :) |
20:00.34 | Jenson | mind you this is a different syzstem |
20:01.05 | ResuDaed | if it isn't there, try modprobe emu10k1 |
20:01.50 | Jenson | You just like me being here coz I'm more of a Linux newbie than you don't you :P |
20:01.51 | ResuDaed | if it works after that, type echo emu10k1 >> /etc/modules |
20:01.58 | ResuDaed | hell yeah |
20:02.01 | Jenson | lol |
20:03.14 | Jenson | I really must get the internet setup in my room where my computers are |
20:03.16 | ResuDaed | yesterday, I worked out how to email someone a text file from the command line, I was well proud |
20:03.23 | Jenson | :) |
20:03.49 | Jenson | Today I worked out where what cables go on the motherboard (pretty simple I know but now I've learnt it) |
20:04.07 | Jenson | It didn't help that I told my dad to leave it alone and he'd moved cables anyway |
20:04.13 | ResuDaed | simple in the fact that if they fit they fit, if they don't they go somewhere else |
20:04.26 | Jenson | except IDE1 and IDE2 |
20:04.36 | ResuDaed | that is personal preferance |
20:04.52 | ResuDaed | (technically ide0 and ide1 ;_) |

22:23.59 | Jenson | I checked the soundcard thing ResuDaed. I can see why it isn't working, the file is missing or corrupted or not compiled or completely fucked or something |
22:24.19 | Jenson | ResuDaed: I'd make just as little sense with the monitor on or off lol |
22:24.23 | ResuDaed | what did it tell you? |

22:29.03 | Jenson | I have a terrible alcohol tolerance lol....gotta do my best to improve it. |
22:29.14 | ResuDaed | dankolb, it depends on your definition of a few pints |

22:29.23 | ResuDaed | (or what the pints are of) |
22:29.34 | Jenson | lol ResuDaed - milk :P |

22:47.28 | mazogs | ty dankolb |
22:47.47 | Jenson | OK it was my fault I didn't see the disconnect, but not my fault BT fscked up the reconnect forcing me to reboot and reconnect again |
22:47.52 | ResuDaed | saying that I do enjoy eating apples, mainly because it makes people sitting around me feel sick |
22:47.54 | dankolb | Ah right |
22:47.59 | dankolb | Really? Why? |
22:48.27 | ResuDaed | I tend to eat the *whole* thing |
22:48.47 | dankolb | Ah. Including core? |
22:49.16 | Jenson | Apple pips have cyanide in them. |
22:50.01 | mazogs | ResuDaed: i do it too |

22:53.37 | dankolb | Okay evening |
22:53.51 | ResuDaed | dankolb, that wouldn't be what X was dying with would it :-) |
22:54.05 | dankolb | It could well be |
22:54.17 | dankolb | SIG11 / SIGSEGV / Segmentation Fault: Core Dumped |
22:54.21 | ResuDaed | zachary the new file is bigger than the old one |
22:54.44 | Jenson | dankolb: That's off a tshirt isn't it |
22:55.16 | dankolb | No it's not |

22:56.04 | Jenson | well almost then |
22:56.15 | Jenson | *link |
22:57.56 | dankolb | :) |
23:00.43 | dankolb | Binary's all 1s and 0s |
23:00.54 | ResuDaed | Jenson I could explain it to you, but I don' think you'd appreciate it |
23:01.05 | Jenson | ResuDaed: Probably not... |
23:01.08 | davilion | there are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't |
23:01.19 | Jenson | I know that quote davilion |
23:01.22 | dankolb | There are only 10 types of people in this world - those who understand binary, and those who don't |
23:01.25 | ResuDaed | dankolb will restarting gdm be enough to restart the X server |
23:01.36 | Jenson | I still know that quoyte dankpo |
23:01.38 | dankolb | No. |
23:01.39 | Jenson | fuck |
23:01.40 | ResuDaed | dankolb: lol :-) |
23:01.42 | Jenson | i cant type |
23:01.46 | dankolb | Just do a CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE |
23:02.04 | ResuDaed | (that only works when X is running) |
23:02.22 | ResuDaed | I cannot actually get into the session that X was using |
23:02.34 | dankolb | init 3 ; init 5 |
23:02.47 | ResuDaed | that'll kill this session won't it? |
23:02.47 | Jenson | I used to understand counting in binary (was the only one in my electronics class that did i think) but I've forgotten it all now. |
23:03.15 | murb | magic sysreq is useful |
23:03.20 | dankolb | ResuDaed: Shouldn't do |
23:03.24 | ResuDaed | ok |
23:04.08 | Jenson | I think we lost him. |

23:08.49 | Jenson | I'm not good at X....took me a while to get mine running |
23:08.53 | dankolb | Hum. |
23:09.08 | Resudaed | Jenson, the problem is, I *had* mine running, I managed to fsck it |
23:09.27 | Jenson | As did I with mine Resudaed |
23:09.27 | dankolb | I can have a look at the config file if you want |
23:09.28 | eye69 | Haha...they're showing a swedish movie on BBC Four...."Together" |
23:09.42 | Resudaed | ok, what's your email? |
23:09.44 | Jenson | I'd look but I'd be no help. |
23:09.49 | dankolb | dankolb@ox.compsoc.net |
23:09.59 | Resudaed | Jenson, I'll cc it to you if you want :-) |
23:10.23 | Jenson | can do |
23:10.26 | Jenson | you got my mail? |
23:10.31 | mazogs | don't you have a backup of the other config file? |
23:10.34 | Jenson | *mail ad i mean |
23:11.23 | Jenson | I would offer you a copy of my config, if I had my FD configured properly so I could actually transfer files for one system to another |
23:11.57 | Resudaed | jenson, no |
23:12.18 | Jenson | aeroquake3arena@hotmail.com |
23:14.08 | Resudaed | dankolb, in theory you should have 2 files (XF86Config-4 and XF86Config-4.old), .old is the one before zach had a go |
23:14.51 | dankolb | Thanks |
23:14.54 | Resudaed | Jenson, do you really want a copy, or do you want my incoming email address, which is a completely different account :-) |
23:15.37 | Resudaed | (I am sending them from root, so if you send me email there, it'll just get put in a long dir of log files) |
23:16.29 | Jenson | I'll have a copy...... |
23:16.40 | Jenson | Why would I want your email...I aint a stalker. |
23:17.06 | Resudaed | :-), ok |
23:17.49 | Jenson | Well I might want your email to ask annoying techsupport style questions mind you. |
23:18.37 | dankolb | That's what IRC is for |
23:18.42 | Resudaed | :-), ok, the one you're most likley for me to ever read is tom-t@talk21.com because it's the only email I have that doesn't rely on my local server running |
23:19.19 | Jenson | cool |
23:19.20 | Resudaed | just be careful on anything you put in the subject, my spam filters are pretty strict being that it's a public address |
23:19.31 | Jenson | I'll add it to my hotmail ,safelist |
23:19.40 | Jenson | my spam filters kill everything that i dont authorize |
23:20.09 | Resudaed | eg: anything containg the word viagra or MSN will bounce (no hidden meanings about bill gates there) |
23:20.17 | Jenson | lol |
23:20.33 | Resudaed | they just happen to be part of the same filter |
23:20.40 | Jenson | ohhh 2 new emails.....must be HPExtra news |
23:20.48 | Jenson | hehe no its you lol |
23:21.02 | Resudaed | oh, 928 new emails, it must be gllug |
23:21.10 | Jenson | I should have logged onto MSN then I'd haver known.....but guys just hit on me on there. |
23:21.19 | Jenson | That's why I'm not on the gllug list lol |
23:21.32 | Resudaed | Jenson, you actually allow HPExtra news in to your mailbox? |
23:22.02 | Jenson | Resudaed: Yeah, and delete it everytime, I should unsubscribe |
23:22.59 | Resudaed | I also block anything apparantly sent from my email address (they think I'm stupid) |
23:23.26 | Resudaed | why would I sell myself viagra or penis enlargments |
23:23.33 | Jenson | I have the word 'DVD' filtered on my Bt addresses coz\ otherwise I get 'write your own DVD' ads about 5 times a day. |
23:23.44 | Resudaed | (I know better) |
23:23.45 | davilion | wow i just wrote the mother of all emails to my boss lol |
23:23.54 | Jenson | Well done davilion |
23:24.02 | Resudaed | davilion, last time I did that, I nearly got the sack |
23:24.58 | davilion | lol no this was constructive |
23:25.08 | davilion | he's a bit worried since we were all in hellish moods today |
23:25.16 | Resudaed | that must be a first, a constructive email |
23:25.26 | Resudaed | that's because you should all be on holiday by now |
23:25.26 | davilion | so it was part reassurance, part winge, part plea for more money. |
23:25.29 | Jenson | I don't rmemeber my last constructive email |
23:25.38 | davilion | Resudaed: exactly, today was such a fuckup |

23:27.10 | Jenson | Yeah well done Resudaed |
23:27.13 | Resudaed | almost as much as when I email people from telnet :-) |
23:27.24 | davilion | Resudaed: heh my collegue does that, |
23:27.31 | davilion | its ok until he makes a type |
23:27.33 | davilion | typo! |
23:28.02 | Resudaed | most SMTP servers actually understand the backspace, so if you watch as you're typing, you get away with it |
23:28.11 | dankolb | Resudaed: You've given me two identical files |
23:28.20 | Resudaed | have I? |
23:28.33 | dankolb | You have |
23:28.40 | davilion | Resudaed: yeah but ^H doesnt work on \n's :) |
23:28.49 | Resudaed | you sure, check the file sizes |
23:28.49 | dankolb | Apart from one had evil characaters in it, which I had to strip out |
23:29.54 | Resudaed | (I am assuming the one w/out .old, being that it was parsed by IEXPLORE |
23:30.07 | dankolb | Probably |
23:30.30 | Resudaed | evil fscker, I even looked at it in notepad and is had fscked line endings |
23:31.15 | Jenson | From now on Resudaed you must say scandisk |
23:31.23 | murb | debugfs to you. |
23:31.39 | Resudaed | Jenson, I recommend talk21 if you are willing to run your own SMTP server when you leave BT |
23:31.47 | Resudaed | murb, Windows |
23:32.05 | murb | is that a tool for doing stuff to disks with? |
23:32.08 | Jenson | Resudaed: I know nothing about servers of any kind. |
23:32.25 | murb | Jenson: you're planning on leaving BT? |
23:32.28 | dankolb | Resudaed: Can you email me the output of 'startx 2>&1 > X.log' (email me X.log) |
23:32.48 | Resudaed | ok |
23:33.02 | murb | or /var/log/XFree86.0.log |
23:33.27 | dankolb | If it's automatically generated, yes. But I only want the output of one start attempt |
23:34.16 | Resudaed | not quite sure if it worked, I piped it straight to mail |
23:34.36 | dankolb | We'll see |
23:35.28 | Resudaed | dankolb, you could have just told me to email the result of startx 2>&1, I am not a total n00b, just 99.9% n00b |

23:36.26 | dankolb | :) |
23:36.31 | dankolb | Nope |
23:37.00 | Jenson | lol total n00b statement, and he fscks it up. |
23:37.11 | dankolb | Yeah |
23:37.12 | dankolb | :) |
23:37.56 | Resudaed | heh, I know why as well (just looked at the command I typed, I windowsed it) |
23:38.16 | Resudaed | I apologise if my language is getting a little strong :-) |
23:38.33 | dankolb | <g> |
23:38.48 | Jenson | lol Resudaed you ain't as n00bified as me, I'm just a fucking idiot. |
23:38.49 | dankolb | You're talking to someone who uses Windows all the time at work |
23:38.58 | dankolb | OS slurs don't work on me |
23:39.53 | Resudaed | I was talking about the use of extreme language, windows needs no 'slurring' |
23:40.02 | dankolb | :) |
23:41.08 | Resudaed | even using your line the startx is not dumping anything in x.log |
23:41.29 | Resudaed | vokda + coke will keep me up all night |
23:41.37 | dankolb | Is it still dumping to screen? |
23:41.41 | Resudaed | yes |
23:41.56 | davilion | heh |
23:41.59 | dankolb | 'startx 2>x.log' |
23:42.01 | Resudaed | Jenson, do you? |

23:44.01 | Resudaed | dankolb, that should work |
23:44.23 | dankolb | What should work? |
23:44.29 | Jenson | nothing murb.....just have an inclination towards another addres slol |
23:44.48 | Resudaed | Jenson, how can you be sleepy, it's only 11.49, you have the whole night to go yet |
23:44.55 | dankolb | I still tend to only use one, though |
23:44.55 | Resudaed | 'not another dirty comment' :-) |
23:45.02 | dankolb | NADC :) |
23:45.22 | Resudaed | dankolb you should have another email |

23:46.14 | dankolb | I'll give it a min. to get through the forwarding and filtering |
23:47.16 | Resudaed | a type in an address wouldn't hold up sending out other local mail would it? |
