11:27.42irvinedmorning all
11:27.49dank_workeye69: So spending Christmas and New Year in Sweden
11:27.51dank_workHi irvined
11:31.20irvinedhows it going?
11:32.35ResuDaed_~9~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
11:32.58dank_workIt's going okay. Slowly. It's a Friday.
11:33.13dank_workWas supposed to do a Collaboration install today, and InstallShield just doesn't run
11:34.04irvinedheh, i was supposed to be doing a big 86 nod einstall today too
11:34.17dank_workAnd AutoVue for Java has fucked itself, so needs to be reinstalled.
11:34.20irvinedbut 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
11:34.23dank_workWhich requires transferring the install file across to C&W
11:34.27dank_work:)
11:35.09dank_workAhh. 100MBit networks. Transferring a 46Mb file in 5 seconds
11:35.49dank_workHeh
11:35.55dank_workHow come?
11:36.02irvinedmyrinet :)
11:36.16irvined2gb fully duplexed
11:36.28dank_workCool. Nice
11:36.28dank_work:)
11:36.34irvinedbut its got two cards bonded whcih means about 3gb fully duplexed.
11:36.52murbmrinet isn't very cost effective.
11:36.56murbs/mr/my/
11:37.02irvinedno its rather expensive
11:37.13irvinedi'm just testing it under score with bonding.
11:37.25dank_workBut Ethernet only goes up to 1Gb ATM, although 10Gb is in development
11:37.26irvinedSince LUNATIC has been invoked at leeds.
11:37.47irvinedyeah ultimatly ethernet will be faster than myrinet but its the latency that makes it so cool.
11:38.04dank_workOr lack of it?
11:38.11irvinedour customers like it for mpi data transfers since its like 5 microseconds between thinking about sending and actually being recieved.
11:38.20dank_workThat's good
11:38.26dank_workThat's very good
11:38.50irvinedyeah its really cool, but its very expensive
11:39.01irvined1000us a card, plus your switch and enclosure and cables etc
11:39.03dank_workEthernet tends to be in the 100-ish microsecond region
11:39.06irvinedbut for hpc clusters its fantastic.
11:39.32irvineddank_work: if you use score they have low latency ethernet drivers whcih can get eepro100's down to <25 microseconds
11:39.50dank_workHokay
11:40.03irvinedthe main trouble with latency at present si the time taken to transend the tcp stack
11:40.15dank_workDon't use IP then :)
11:41.01irvinedheh, yeah, the score drivers still use tcp/ip but just not the kernel stack
11:41.14irvined(for mpi anyway)
11:41.33irvinedso for an mpi job it just blasts out the tcp data to the card rather then letting the kernel encapsulate the message
11:42.50dank_workWhat about being really evil, and doing it over Econet? ;-)
11:46.05highburymorning guys
11:46.21dank_workhi
11:46.27Tarragonmorning

13:45.45dank_workApart from Smoothwall and e-Smith, what other Linux firewalls are there?
13:49.42eye69Anybody got Konqueror here?
13:50.02TarragonYes
13:54.28highburyyep
14:55.12murbdank; linux firewalls?
14:55.32dank_workyeah. or non-linux
14:55.38murbredstone
14:55.47dank_workI want to try out a few, and compare them
14:55.53dank_workURL?
14:56.55murbI think you have to buy their hardware, but it is http://www.redstone.uk.com
14:57.07dank_workAh
14:57.49dank_workEhr
15:00.07murbthey sell boxes
15:04.25dank_workAh. No - I was looking more at something that could be installed on a Standard PC
15:09.21highburysmoothwall!
15:09.42highburyThey sell commercial versions of their GPL product
15:11.12murbwhat about the hardened linux distrbutions linux trustix whatever iti s claled?
15:12.18dank_workhighbury: Yeah - I've downloaded Smoothwall and ipcop
15:12.49dank_workIsn't Trustix a full distribution, though?
15:13.54murbdank: I think so.
15:14.32murbI like to start with debian base and build my own fws.
15:14.44dank_work*nod*
15:14.50murbactually i like to start with one i've built before, even easier :)
15:14.51dank_workIf I was doing that I'd definitely go with OpenBSD
15:15.10dank_workBut basically, I've been asked to look at a few firewalls
15:15.24highburySmoothwall 2.0 is now 2.4 based
15:15.41dank_workGot 1.0GPL
15:17.07highburythats 2.2.23 based, and is now a static product, all further development is being done on 2.0 code base.
15:17.21highburyBut do you want free or non-free firewall?
15:17.29dank_workFree
15:19.27highburythen stick to 2.0 gpl smoothwall
15:19.36dank_workIs 2.0GPL released?
15:19.58dank_workIt didn't seem to be
15:20.20highburyits on rc2 but is unlikely to change too much. From reports it seems like its stable and close to final
15:20.57highburysmoothwall-2.0-bullet.iso is 24Mb
15:21.43dank_workWe'd rather use a proper release
15:32.24highburyI'm not sure there are really that many, active, free, full distro, Linux Firewalls
15:32.48highburymost Linux Firwall solutions, are addons to other distro's
15:33.18highburyIMHO
15:35.25dank_workSeems so. I've got a 20Gb disk to play with
15:37.09murbdank: so you should be able to install several linux distros and openbsd :)
15:40.55dank_workyep. That's my idea :)
15:41.13dank_workHow does Smoothwall play with sharing disks?
15:44.34highburysmoothwall, reformats the whole disk as part of its install, therefore must be installed first!
15:44.53dank_workGr. What about ipcop?
15:44.59dank_workGiven that it's based on SW
15:45.39highburydunno, Jason used to play with it. Last I heard, its development had stalled, but I could be wrong
15:46.09highburySlackware would be a possible choice :-)
15:46.18dank_workObviously :)
15:46.42dank_workBut maybe we'd use RedHat, as that's what we're moving our servers to (away from Rock)
15:46.54highburyLOL
15:47.17highburyDon't RedHat have a firewall solution?
15:47.24dank_workYeah, costing lots of money
15:47.34murbdank: why are you moving away from rock?
15:47.37highburyFirewalls are really the same as other servers
15:47.41murbis it politcal PJ wise?
15:47.45dank_workBecause rock is crap :)
15:48.00dank_workWell, Pj is the only one who likes Rock
15:53.32dank_workAnything fun going on there?
16:01.53murbdank: do you do md5 sums or somthing of the sources?
16:02.02murbor is it pkgsrc-- ?
16:02.08dank_workSources for what?
16:03.59murbdank: for the bits you build rock linux from
16:05.16dank_workOh right. I have no idea
16:05.39dank_workI've never built Rock up
16:10.43murbwell isn't it about once a month you hear of some sources or other being trojaned?
16:13.47dank_workYeah, I think so
16:14.01dank_workI wouldn't be surprised if they do some checks
16:14.24dank_workBut I honestly don't know what they have
16:17.42dank_workunder *BSD they check the MD5 of the downloaded tarball
16:18.36murbdank: indeed, what was why i was wondering
16:19.32dank_workIt might give say on www.rocklinux.org
16:19.36dank_workibot rock
16:19.38rock 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
16:20.01dank_workHm. It's SysV-style. And has been for some time
16:23.33murbwell since it has a sysVish kernel what would you expect?
16:31.01dank_workWith Rock, not much :)
16:39.04dank_workPresents! :)
16:40.44dank_workAlthough I'm not quite sure why I'd need an Angle Grinder & Drill Set - I've got the server room key already :-)
16:41.53dank_workMaybe to get into other people's server rooms...
17:30.16dank_workHometime!

19:47.07Jensondid you get X to recognize your soundcard properly?
19:47.37ResuDaedyes,, not just X though, I am using the dound card from the console (well to play cd's)
19:48.05JensonMine still gives me that damn error message.
19:48.27JensonI've got the FD working slighlty better though, it will tell me what it on disks but usually won't load it.
19:48.37ResuDaedit 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
19:48.52Jensonlol when i do that i fuck up

20:03.49JensonToday I worked out where what cables go on the motherboard (pretty simple I know but now I've learnt it)
20:04.07JensonIt didn't help that I told my dad to leave it alone and he'd moved cables anyway
20:04.13ResuDaedsimple in the fact that if they fit they fit, if they don't they go somewhere else
20:04.26Jensonexcept IDE1 and IDE2
20:04.36ResuDaedthat is personal preferance

23:09.08ResudaedJenson, the problem is, I *had* mine running, I managed to fsck it
23:09.27JensonAs did I with mine Resudaed
23:09.27dankolbI can have a look at the config file if you want
23:09.28eye69Haha...they're showing a swedish movie on BBC Four...."Together"
23:09.42Resudaedok, what's your email?
23:09.44JensonI'd look but I'd be no help.
23:09.49dankolbdankolb@ox.compsoc.net
23:09.59ResudaedJenson, I'll cc it to you if you want :-)
23:10.23Jensoncan do
23:10.26Jensonyou got my mail?
23:10.31mazogsdon't you have a backup of the other config file?
23:10.34Jenson*mail ad i mean
23:11.23JensonI 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
23:11.57Resudaedjenson, no
23:12.18Jensonaeroquake3arena@hotmail.com
23:14.08Resudaeddankolb, in theory you should have 2 files (XF86Config-4 and XF86Config-4.old), .old is the one before zach had a go
23:14.51dankolbThanks
23:14.54ResudaedJenson, do you really want a copy, or do you want my incoming email address, which is a completely different account :-)
23:15.37Resudaed(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)
23:16.29JensonI'll have a copy......
23:16.40JensonWhy would I want your email...I aint a stalker.
23:17.06Resudaed:-), ok
23:17.49JensonWell I might want your email to ask annoying techsupport style questions mind you.
23:18.37dankolbThat's what IRC is for
23:18.42Resudaed:-), 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
23:19.19Jensoncool
23:19.20Resudaedjust be careful on anything you put in the subject, my spam filters are pretty strict being that it's a public address
23:19.31JensonI'll add it to my hotmail ,safelist
23:19.40Jensonmy spam filters kill everything that i dont authorize
23:20.09Resudaedeg: anything containg the word viagra or MSN will bounce (no hidden meanings about bill gates there)
23:20.17Jensonlol
23:20.33Resudaedthey just happen to be part of the same filter
23:20.40Jensonohhh 2 new emails.....must be HPExtra news
23:20.48Jensonhehe no its you lol
23:21.02Resudaedoh, 928 new emails, it must be gllug
23:21.10JensonI should have logged onto MSN then I'd haver known.....but guys just hit on me on there.
23:21.19JensonThat's why I'm not on the gllug list lol
23:21.32ResudaedJenson, you actually allow HPExtra news in to your mailbox?
23:22.02JensonResudaed: Yeah, and delete it everytime, I should unsubscribe
23:22.59ResudaedI also block anything apparantly sent from my email address (they think I'm stupid)
23:23.26Resudaedwhy would I sell myself viagra or penis enlargments
23:23.33JensonI have the word 'DVD' filtered on my Bt addresses coz\ otherwise I get 'write your own DVD' ads about 5 times a day.
23:23.44Resudaed(I know better)
23:23.45davilionwow i just wrote the mother of all emails to my boss lol
23:23.54JensonWell done davilion
23:24.02Resudaeddavilion, last time I did that, I nearly got the sack
23:24.58davilionlol no this was constructive
23:25.08davilionhe's a bit worried since we were all in hellish moods today
23:25.16Resudaedthat must be a first, a constructive email
23:25.26Resudaedthat's because you should all be on holiday by now
23:25.26davilionso it was part reassurance, part winge, part plea for more money.
23:25.29JensonI don't rmemeber my last constructive email
23:25.38davilionResudaed: exactly, today was such a fuckup
23:26.25*** join/#gllug agk (~agk@tanganyika.uk.sistina.com) [NETSPLIT VICTIM]
23:27.06dankolb:)
23:27.10JensonYeah well done Resudaed
23:27.13Resudaedalmost as much as when I email people from telnet :-)
23:27.24davilionResudaed: heh my collegue does that,
23:27.31davilionits ok until he makes a type
23:27.33daviliontypo!
23:28.02Resudaedmost SMTP servers actually understand the backspace, so if you watch as you're typing, you get away with it
23:28.11dankolbResudaed: You've given me two identical files
23:28.20Resudaedhave I?
23:28.33dankolbYou have
23:28.40davilionResudaed: yeah but ^H doesnt work on \n's :)
23:28.49Resudaedyou sure, check the file sizes
23:28.49dankolbApart from one had evil characaters in it, which I had to strip out
23:29.54Resudaed(I am assuming the one w/out .old, being that it was parsed by IEXPLORE
23:30.07dankolbProbably
23:30.30Resudaedevil fscker, I even looked at it in notepad and is had fscked line endings
23:31.15JensonFrom now on Resudaed you must say scandisk
23:31.23murbdebugfs to you.
23:31.39ResudaedJenson, I recommend talk21 if you are willing to run your own SMTP server when you leave BT
23:31.47Resudaedmurb, Windows
23:32.05murbis that a tool for doing stuff to disks with?
23:32.08JensonResudaed: I know nothing about servers of any kind.
23:32.25murbJenson: you're planning on leaving BT?
23:32.28dankolbResudaed: Can you email me the output of 'startx 2>&1 > X.log' (email me X.log)
23:32.48Resudaedok
23:33.02murbor /var/log/XFree86.0.log
23:33.27dankolbIf it's automatically generated, yes. But I only want the output of one start attempt
23:34.16Resudaednot quite sure if it worked, I piped it straight to mail
23:34.36dankolbWe'll see
23:35.28Resudaeddankolb, you could have just told me to email the result of startx 2>&1, I am not a total n00b, just 99.9% n00b
23:35.32*** join/#gllug agk (~agk@tanganyika.uk.sistina.com) [NETSPLIT VICTIM]
23:35.58Resudaedwhy don't they just fix their damn servers,  grrrr
23:36.22Resudaeddid it work?
23:36.26dankolb:)
23:36.31dankolbNope
23:37.00Jensonlol total n00b statement, and he fscks it up.
23:37.11dankolbYeah
23:37.12dankolb:)
23:37.56Resudaedheh, I know why as well (just looked at the command I typed, I windowsed it)
23:38.16ResudaedI apologise if my language is getting a little strong :-)
23:38.33dankolb<g>
23:38.48Jensonlol Resudaed you ain't as n00bified as me, I'm just a fucking idiot.
23:38.49dankolbYou're talking to someone who uses Windows all the time at work
23:38.58dankolbOS slurs don't work on me
23:39.53ResudaedI was talking about the use of extreme language, windows needs no 'slurring'
23:40.02dankolb:)
23:41.08Resudaedeven using your line the startx is not dumping anything in x.log
23:41.29Resudaedvokda + coke will keep me up all night
