irclog2html for #gllug on 20030126

00:00.08eye69Omg...the fuckwit with the dream about connecting a serial cable and using DOS to IRC through the connection of a w98 machine is back.
00:08.48dankolbWhy a fuckwit?
00:08.55dankolbI was doing something similar yesterday at Globix
00:09.05dankolbAlthough that was serial connection to a Linux machine
00:09.46dankolb'night all
00:10.13eye69Exactly, but this guy doesn't seem to want to listen to the answers he is given.
00:10.18dankolbFule
00:10.28dankolbAnyway, c'ya later
00:12.08ClyphoxMaybe he's winding you up (eye69)
00:12.29eye69No, he's just finnish.
00:12.52Clyphoxheh
00:16.22davilion;)
00:17.05davilioni need something to do, theres a very large sendmail book sitting here which i should read before setting up an mta on my colo box, but theres many more interesting things to do on a saturday night im sure
00:17.22eye69Hehe.
00:18.43davilioneye69: im going on a sysadmin pilgrimage at the moment
00:18.48davilionand sendmail.cf just lokos so evil
00:18.57eye69davilion: Heh.
00:19.00davilionotoh i already know how to set up multidrop mailboxes etc under sendmail
00:19.28eye69I admit that knowing a bit of Sendmail can be useful if you get in the situation of having to admin it, but I wouldn't install it on a new system.
00:19.54ClyphoxActually I meant postfix hehe..
00:21.19eye69Clyphox: Heh.
00:22.39davilionlast night i tackled apache, so now i can adddomain <domainname> <user> [-alias <domainname>] and creates the user if it doesnt already exists, and creates a virtual host for domains and any aliases i add, creates all the links, sets the permissions, etc and reloads httpd.
00:23.10davilionthe night before was dns, but i didnt get too far wiht dns because all my domains are unconfigured by stupid isps who make it hard as possible to farm out your dns servers
00:23.29formii have a few scripts that do that
00:31.12ClyphoxAre you guys on to apache 2?
00:32.24davilionno,
00:32.27davilioni need mod_perl support
00:43.26eye69Clyphox|fragged: Nah, need to many modules.
00:43.33eye69s/to/too/
00:44.30Clyphox|fraggedeh?
00:44.54Clyphox|fraggedohh sorry.. apache.. ok gotcha..
00:44.58Clyphox|fraggedbbl

01:34.39formiHuhn: could you do me a little favour?
01:34.56Huhnformi: yes?
01:36.46Clyphox|UrbanTerI need to play..working all day..
01:39.48formiwell at this time of the night
01:39.57formiwith the teddy bear maybe
01:48.25skuggbombs out, have to make the old fashioned way :)
01:56.05formiDoD offering admin privileges on .mil Web sites, theregister.co.uk
02:26.54ClyphoxGoodnight all
02:27.12forminight Clyphox
02:32.18ClyphoxChanged my mind..
02:32.23ClyphoxGot a problem and want to sort it now..
02:32.48formihave you lost your bed?
02:33.12Clyphoxhehe it's standing against the wall atm.. floor covered in PC bits
02:33.51ClyphoxI want to run a second X for games.. no problem. I can launch it from console but not from my current X.. its weird..
02:34.16Clyphoxit sais :
02:34.17Clyphox<PROTECTED>
02:34.17ClyphoxAUDIT: Sun Jan 26 02:28:51 2003: 12074 X: client 1 rejected from local host
02:34.18ClyphoxXlib: connection to ":2.0" refused by server
02:34.18ClyphoxXlib: No protocol specified
02:34.18Clyphox<PROTECTED>
02:37.05formii don't think you can start it from a xterm
02:37.36Clyphoxmaybe.. I'll try putting it in my blackbox menu maybe..
02:37.37formibecause i suppose it would inherit the $var of the current X
02:38.48ClyphoxI'm trying  xhost +127.0.0.1
02:39.21formiwhy can't you oven it from the console
02:39.23formi?
02:40.29Clyphoxbecause I don't want to.
02:40.56ClyphoxI don't like relying on my keyboard so much. I'm getting lazy in my old age.
02:41.39formiit would be faster than trying to set up a clean environment inside X
02:41.39ClyphoxIt works..
02:41.53ClyphoxJust the .Xautority file wasn't allowing it..
02:42.21Clyphoxformi : I know. But I like my menu :) And I like knowing how to do this kinda stuff..
02:42.33ClyphoxI've just made a wrapper for any game now..
02:42.42Clyphoxcrude but it works :)
02:44.43formiim trying to guess where my X server get the --nolisten-tcp option from
02:45.04formii checked the usual suspect with no luck
02:45.07Huhnformi: running Debian?
02:45.09Clyphoxproberbly just security from whoever compiled it..
02:45.20forminope
02:45.24Huhnit's a Debian special, the --nolisten-tcp
02:45.33Huhnok.. was a guess ;)
02:45.54formiroot      500  1.9  9.9 37984 12556  ??  S    Fri01PM  21:23.64 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 :0 -nolisten tcp
02:46.06formithis is FB 4.7
02:46.28Huhnit's ok to have it as default, I think
02:48.11formibut i want to be able to have clients connect to me, basically gkrellm on my servers
02:49.20Huhnuse xauth?

11:03.36Leedsbut I do intend to do a bit of work today, as well
11:04.11murbleand thetimes.co.uk seems to think i'm coming from either belgium or israel, so won't let me read the content online.
11:04.48murbleLeeds: Well, I'm trapped in Luxembourg this weekend.

11:05.20murblebut i have to fix up the access list
11:05.46murbleI'm wondering who thetimes bought their IP to country db from
11:06.26Leedsdunno...
11:07.11Leedsit knows I'm in the UK, when I use our company proxy which is, I think, in Holland...
11:07.15Leedsat least I think it does.
11:08.45murblethat worked. i just need to write an javascripty thing to only send me via the proxy for broken sites that insist i be in the uk
11:11.24Leedshmmm...
11:11.49LeedsI just went from .uk to .nl in a minute or so (at work - switched proxies) and it still worked when I gave my login...
11:12.02LeedsI know it thinks I'm in .nl because it sent me a cookie to tell me

12:56.40formicould you check your firewall logs, and see if that irc server is scanning you as well?
12:57.32LeedsI don't do logging on my firewall
12:58.03Leedsit's not uncommon to scan people who connect to a server to see if they're running dumb stuff which opens the network up to attack
12:58.30Leedscoredump isn't going to be too much use to me...

15:02.09formifine thanks
15:02.26air1so what's up have you found that tinyX port
15:02.49formii actually haven't looked for it
15:03.23air1ok, still trying to compile Flash yeah?
15:03.37formiby the way do you know where X is actually told to use --nolisten-tcp?
15:03.50formiI gave up on flash
15:04.59air1why don't you set it up on your firewall, i think it's in the 7000 range
15:05.48formimy problem is that i can't find the file that passes that option
15:06.03formiI want X to accept connections
15:06.04air1ho ok i see
15:06.21air1humm i really don't know, but is it really listening
15:06.34Huhnformi: have a look at xauth

15:06.43eye69formi: xauth +hostname
15:07.16formieye69: even if the X server was started with --nolisten-tcp ???
15:07.22eye69formi: No.
15:07.37eye69formi: grep -r "--nolisten-tcp" /etc
15:07.54formii checked the usual places
15:08.09formimainly /usr/X11R6/lib/etc
15:09.39eye69In Debian it's in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers   and   /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
15:10.39formichecking
15:11.00formii don't use xdm so that is one less to check
15:12.43eye69If you do: grep -r "..nolisten.tcp" /etc/*
15:13.09eye69Debian doesn't keep configs in /usr/X11R6/lib/etc
15:14.31air1i think formi is using FreeBSD right now
15:15.04eye69Oh..nasty
15:15.54air1actually  the Init seems to be the main difference between linux and bsds
15:16.17air1apart frm the kernel and fs of course
15:16.35eye69Yeah...I don't have anything against it apart from the init
15:17.46air1fair enough, i think each solutions has its benefits
15:18.31air1actually i did the same such you recommended above grep... didn't return anything
15:18.46air1even in usr/X11R6/*
15:19.10air1formi:you may want to check what google has to say
15:20.06formione of these day i will go and ask on #freebsd, wich I like as much as a kick on the teeth
15:20.40air1yeah i like the friendly attitude, note that it's specific to this server
15:22.35formithen they wonder why nobody uses fb
15:24.13air1well i don't think they actually wonder why, but you know it'sd only a core of idiots, mainly i found fbsd users are just as friendly

22:15.00dankolbHm
22:15.14TarragonHotel Ibis last year.
22:15.21dankolb100EUR/night is a bit much, really - I might have to end up in a youth hostel
22:15.45zimmwhats that in real money >?
22:15.46skuggi think I share a double room with John to cut costs
22:15.57TarragonOh you cannot do that. All the LBW people go there.
22:15.59dankolbzimm: About 70quid

22:27.27Jensonhey Axel
22:27.28dankolbHi Axel
22:27.46Axelhi
22:28.12zimmJenson: how do you think they get it on the tabs ? its a liquid ...(well it is once you dissolve the crystals)
22:29.21Jensonzimm: Can't say I've really experimented with drugs
22:29.52zimmheh, yeh , i know .. just sayin ..
22:30.09SpudULikeIsn't experimenting with Slackware just as dangerous as drugs?
22:30.14dankolbIt is
22:30.25zimmSpudULike: equivalent to crack i believe
22:35.13Axelmay i throw a n00b question in the room? just a quicky ;)
22:35.31TarragonSo you would not recommend Slack then?            :-)
22:35.43Jensonyeah Axel
22:35.46Axelthx
22:35.50dankolbTarragon: I recommend Slack
22:36.07TarragonNo you don't - you recommend BSD
22:36.11AxelI'm trying to mount my fat32 partition... wondering whether my fstab entry holds up :)
22:36.27Axel/dev/hdb3       /data           vfat    defaults,user
22:36.32Axel:D
22:36.52dankolbTarragon: Well, true
22:37.15dankolbAxel: /dev/hdb3     /data    vfat   defaults,user   0   0
22:37.20Axelah
22:37.54Axeli've created directory in /mnt called /data ... will it mount there or do i need to put the /mnt in front of it?
22:38.05dankolbYou do
22:38.15dankolbBecause it tells you what directory you want to mount in
22:38.23Axelah
22:38.25Axelhmm
22:38.44Axeldo i have to restart to make it work?
22:38.57Axelor can i just rehash something or other?
22:39.11dankolbmount /mnt/data
22:39.13Axeli've currently got it mounted - but as root only
22:39.18dankolbAh
22:39.27dankolbUnmount it as root, and mount it as a user
22:39.39Axeldarn - says dev is busy ;(
22:39.47dankolbBut if you want it user-mountable, you want to use 'noauto' option, which won't mount it automatically
22:40.18Axeli want it to be there when i come back, so auto would be nice :)
22:40.23stephenit's okay if you everything specified in /etc/fstab
22:40.34stephenotherwise it can be a real bitch
22:40.42dankolbAxel: If it's automatically mounted, you don't need it user-mountable
22:40.47Axeluhm
22:40.54Axel/dev/hdb3       /data           vfat    defaults,user,auto 0 0
22:41.01Axelthat's what i looks like now
22:41.15Axelshall i get rid of the user then and leave the auto?
22:41.37dankolbNo, get rid of both
22:41.39Axelk
22:41.50Axelso it's just defaults then?
22:41.52dankolbYup
22:41.54Axeland 0 0
22:41.56dankolbYup
22:42.02Axeland it's gonna be rw?
22:42.05dankolbUnless you want it checked at mount-time
22:42.13Axelchecked?
22:42.16dankolbIt should be. Although you might need to specify the umask option
22:42.16dankolbfsck
22:42.20Axelah
22:42.28Axelwhat does that do?
22:42.30dankolbBy default, it'll probably mount it so only root can read/write to it
22:43.02Axelumask=022 ?
22:43.17dankolbThat makes it root r/w
22:43.23Axeloops
22:43.35dankolbIf you want it world writable, then umask=000 should work
22:44.47Axelk
22:45.30Axelwhy does it still say the dev is busy and how can i convince him to umount it?
22:46.05dankolbDo you have anything using anything on /mnt/data ?
22:46.11Axelhmm
22:46.24JensonAxel: If your like me you probably have the browser for the /mnt dir loaded
22:46.37Axelyep
22:46.38Axelsec
22:46.58Axellol
22:47.08Axeli was still in the /data with the console...
22:47.09Axeldoh
22:47.12dankolbAh :)
22:47.34Axelhmm
22:47.35Axelroot@eden:/mnt# mount /mnt/data
22:47.35Axel[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
22:47.44Axelfinal newline?
22:47.50Axelwth is that supposed to mean?
22:48.01dankolbExactly what it says
22:48.08dankolbEdit it, and put a newline at the end
22:48.11Axelright
22:49.01stephenecho "" >> /etc/fstab should work i think
22:49.17dankolb:-)
22:49.19Axelstephen: what does that do?
22:49.28dankolbPuts a blank line in, basically
22:49.31Axelah
22:49.32stephenadds the required new line
22:49.34Axelthx
22:49.43stephenbut you'd obviously already done it ;)
22:49.52AxelJenson ;)
22:49.57Axelyeah
22:49.59dankolbYou like the /mnt dir?
22:50.00dankolbWell?

22:51.52dankolbmkdir /data

23:13.23SpudUAwayHey, SuperBowl is on Channel 5.  what is this bollocks all about?????
23:13.33JensonI think I scared him off by CTCP versioning him
23:13.36dankolbHeh
23:13.50zimmJenson: nah , he's just trying to piss me off

23:14.47skugg:)
23:15.09skuggSpudUAway, i forgot, but remembered again when i came back. that's why i tried to find you.
23:15.45SpudUAwayDo others still meet on a Saturday in the Hope.
23:16.47SpudUAwayHmm, 3 minutes of SuperBowl and already I feel more than slightly sick..
23:16.51skuggi haven't been there in months at least.
23:17.18dankolbSuperBowl? Sounds like a big soup-eating contest
23:17.20skuggamateur. i didn't even bother turning on :P
23:17.49skuggdankolb, indeed.
23:17.52Jensondankolb: You've seen too much Tarrant On TV
23:18.13dankolbYeah. Leech-eating
23:19.22dankolbOr Ox shit
23:19.29Jensonewwww yeah
23:19.41SpudUAwayHmmm, nutty!
23:20.39dankolbYeah
23:20.55ClyphoxThey have an average IQ of 100. it explains alot
23:21.01Clyphox(j/k)
23:21.06dankolbClyphox: Yeah, true
23:21.26dankolbClyphox: I'm just used to being around intelligent people
23:21.29dankolb(like all of us here :)
23:21.34Clyphox[nod]
23:21.48Clyphoxgeeks are a breed unto their own..
23:21.49JensonI have a IQ of 97 excuse me!
23:21.56dankolbJenson: You have a much higher IQ
23:21.59JensonAccording to BBC
23:22.05dankolbYou weren't doing it properly
23:22.06JensonAnd I wasn't concentrating
23:22.12dankolbExactly
23:22.19JensonAccording to MENSA tests I have an IQ of 152
23:22.22Clyphoxhehe.. According to that I was 107 or something.. and I am definatly NOT
23:22.39dankolb(mainly because I never quite got the hang of them)
23:22.39Clyphoxmensa is just status crud
23:22.42dankolbYeah
23:22.54dankolbThere isn't any definitive IQ test
23:22.54Clyphoxthe stuff you put on CV's
23:23.15dankolbYou just need to do various tests when you're in a good, concentrating, state of mind, and take an average
23:23.24zimmmensa ?
23:23.26ClyphoxThere isn't even a fixed idea as to what intellegence really is..
23:23.27zimmboring ...
23:23.31dankolbClyphox: Yeah
23:23.36JensonI know I'm dumb thats all that matters
23:23.41Clyphoxlol
23:23.45dankolbJenson: You're not dumb, dammit
23:23.48ClyphoxCan't get worse that way hehe
23:23.49zimmJenson: shut up , you arefnt ..
23:24.13dankolbI'd say that intelligence is the ability to learn/adapt to new situations
23:24.35dankolbAnd also, partly, the ability to see outside your own point of view
23:24.40Clyphoxdankolb : Then 80% of the population would flunk hehe
23:24.49dankolbClyphox: Well, that's true, though, isn't it?
23:24.56dankolbAbout 80% of people seem stupid?
23:25.06Clyphoxto me yup..
23:25.17dankolbTo me too
23:25.18ClyphoxIts a bell shapes graph if you look at ir..
23:25.28dankolbThat's because that's how it's defined
23:25.32Clyphox++shaped
23:25.35dankolbIt's defined to be the Normal distribution curve
23:25.36Clyphox[nod]
23:25.45dankolbWith a mean of 100
23:25.59skugghttp://www.datejesus.com/
23:26.15SpudUAwayHi dank.
23:26.23SpudUAway;-)
23:26.25zimmdankolb: tehy are weird
23:26.36ClyphoxI think alot of so called intelligence is also the ammount of determination. You don't have to be smart to make it in this work. Just push hard and don't give up/
23:26.37dankolbYeah
23:26.49dankolbClyphox: Partly
23:27.07dankolbBut you have to have some degree of smartness to know that you might have to push yourself
23:27.18ClyphoxTo learn is a skill I mean..but not entirely given. You can learn to learn if you try.. (I think)
23:27.19dankolbThe truly wise man knows that he knows not
23:27.31Clyphoxtrue true..
23:27.41ClyphoxA skill I don't have is shutting up.
23:27.45dankolbHehe :)
23:28.38dankolbNothing wrong with talking
23:28.47formiClyphox: does it run in the family?
23:28.52ClyphoxI have to do my CV.. its been my task all weekend.. arg.. ust focus.
23:29.09dankolbCVs are nasty to do
23:29.36skuggyes.
23:29.41skuggthat reminds me...
23:29.57Clyphoxformi : Definatly.. same as alot of genetic traits.. like temprement/attitude.. (how much of this is down to upbringing I dunno)
23:30.18Clyphoxskugg : Could I have a look at yours?
23:30.37Clyphoxskugg : For ideas...
23:32.46Clyphoxdankolb : what did you use to make the pdf btw? got any quick start tips for latex?
23:33.11dankolbClyphox: ps2pdf
23:33.17dankolbAnd, yes, I do have quick-start tips
23:34.34skuggClyphox, brautaset.org/docs/cv.{dvi,pdf}
23:34.45dankolbClyphox: Should I just send you my LaTeX source?

23:38.44dankolbClyphox: Fule. modprobe masq_irc

23:39.30dankolbSent
23:39.39Clyphoxcupis : 2.4 I never had time to master iptables (or ipchains to be honest)
23:39.42dankolb(don't reply to it, because it most likely won't work)
23:39.49dankolbClyphox: Use OpenBSD. Obviously
23:39.54cupisClyphox: are you configing manually?
23:40.11Clyphoxcupis : I wrote it yeah..

23:44.11cupisClyphox: tried modprobe ip_masq_irc and reloading your firewall?
23:44.44Clyphoxcupis : I didn't compile that into my kernel.
23:45.01cupisClyphox: not even as a module?
23:45.41Clyphoxcupis : no.. Like I said I rarely need to receive dcc and its not worth the effort..
23:45.55Clyphox(its a 486/dx1)
23:46.44cupisah, I misread a previous comment. Ignore me.
23:46.51ClyphoxIts ok.. :)
