01:40.07stephenwhat?
01:40.23formican you help me with something?
01:40.44formi# This leafnode+ has limited ability to use ssh.  In order to use it,
01:40.44formi# SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is needed to allow ssh executed
01:40.44formi# from fetchnews to connect NNTP servers automatically.
01:40.44formi#
01:40.44formi#server = news2.foo.or.jp
01:40.45formi#username = userfoo
01:40.47formi#password = passwdfoo
01:40.49formi#viahost = localhost
01:40.51formi#port = 1234
01:40.53formi#preconnect = su foo -c "ssh -f -C -L 1234:nntp.your.provider:119 -l bar ssh-server.your.provider sleep 20 > /dev/null"
01:40.56formi.
01:41.29formihow do you do a "su foo" without providing a passwd ?
01:42.10stephendon't think you can, unless you're root
01:42.29formiI see
01:42.57stephenand I think sudo allows superuser access, you can't get it to use a different UID
01:43.03stephen+only
01:43.11formiand i suppose you have to run some ssh-pass daeom thing to catter for the passed of ssh
01:43.46stephenclient side?
01:43.59formiyeap
01:44.10formilook at the preconnect command
01:44.31formiim trying to work what is needed so that it runs without user input
01:44.42stephenever used expect?
01:44.56formivia ssh?
01:45.08stephenno, on the client side
01:45.26forminope, but i know what is supposed to do
01:46.00stephenI've only used it to automate /bin/passwd, but it could handle your ssh password too
01:46.10formiim thinking to adapt the preconnect command to automatically put up my ssh tunnel to a squid server
01:46.39formiand obviously to my news server
01:47.13stephenyer, you're trying to encrypt your NNTP traffic?
01:47.34formiI thought you couldn't do ssh port forwarding without being root
01:47.59formi-su-2.05b# ssh -C -c blowfish -L 300:ns:119 -L 80:ns:312 ns
01:47.59formiEnter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/id_rsa':
01:48.16formiI already do it, but i fire it up by hand
01:48.23stephenyou can be any user, I use ssh -L as user stephen to encrypt my irc traffic
01:48.46stephenas long as you try to bind to a port >1024 client-side
01:49.11formivery interesting
01:50.10formibut if you forward a port over 1024, isn't there the possibility of somebody connecting to that port?
01:50.49stephenyes, it's just a tunnel, anyone can use it, so there needs to be some kind of login server-side
01:53.09formii suppose you run an irc proxy on the server side of you irc ssh tunnel
01:53.33stephenyeah
01:53.46formithat is no good for me
01:54.16formihave you ever met kim hawtin?

01:55.07formisome aussie who at some point had all the data comming out of his laptop encrypted
01:55.20stephencouldn't you just disable all the ssh just in leafnode, and just get it to connect to a port >1024 on localhost, which forwards to port 119 on the server
01:55.25resudaed_sshhow do I 'kill' a user (by non-lethal methods)
01:55.32resudaed_sshie logout
01:55.38stephenkill their shell
01:55.44stephenbut that's no fun
01:56.06formikill the tcp connection
01:56.11resudaed_sshlol, and I wouldn't know how to know which shell to kill (logged in multiple time)
01:56.29resudaed_sshformi : logged in locally
01:56.33formisu user kill
01:56.39stephenyou don't want to kill them all?
01:56.55formiif you are user, you can't kill your root shell

01:57.23resudaed_sshlogged in multiple times (locally and ssh)
01:57.47resudaed_sshI want to log them out, but not all of them
01:58.06stephenuse who -l to show you which ones are local
01:58.23resudaed_sshstephen : but then how can I kill them individually
01:58.29formiyou could for ie, change to csh and kill all bashes
01:58.36stephenkill pid_of_bash
01:58.56resudaed_sshstephen : and how do I know which PIDs are which?

02:01.51stephenah, an easier way
02:02.27formiif you use a different shell than the rest, you could try killall user-shells
02:02.58formifast and easy going
02:03.07stephenanyway, I better get some sleep, happy hacking all
02:03.35formistephen: i'll get back to you about port fwding, good night

02:06.39formigosh
02:06.53formiyou need one of the perl, awk gurus for that

14:29.11dankolbUmm....it tells you exactly how to untar the file
14:29.28dankolbYou just need to replace <archivename> with the name of the downloaded file
14:29.56marko85_uki type tar -zxvf Intel-v92ham.tgz
14:30.00marko85_ukbut it doesnt seem to do it
14:30.08marko85_ukdo i need to type the location of the file
14:30.08dankolbWhy not?
14:30.12dankolbWhat does it do/say?
14:30.37its-formimarko85_uk: unless you are in the same folder as that file, yes
14:30.54its-formiworks like in DOS
14:30.55ClyphoxMy boss just did a guest apearance sorry..
14:31.01marko85_ukwell i wasnt what would the correct location for the floppy be
14:31.01dankolbHeh. :)
14:31.13dankolb/mnt/floppy/Intel-v92ham.tgz
14:31.48its-formimarko85_uk: you also need to add a path to the destination you want for the files
14:31.51marko85_ukthanks dankolb
14:32.04marko85_ukwhat do u mean formi?
14:32.05dankolbits-formi: It'll extract it into the current directory, otherwise
14:32.25marko85_uknext step says cd into the directory
14:32.29dankolbYes
14:32.31marko85_ukhow do i know where i unzipped the file
14:32.36marko85_ukis
14:32.45its-formidankolb: not funny to extract on the floppy
14:32.58dankolbThe -v option to tar will have told it to display the list of files as it's extracting
14:33.33*** join/#gllug cupis (~paul@modem-815.baboon.dialup.pol.co.uk)
14:33.37marko85_ukok and how do i cd into to the directory
14:33.51dankolbcd Intel-v92ham-421
14:34.02its-formistrangely enough cd directory
14:34.30marko85_ukits formi i never unzipped the file before so be considerate
14:34.40its-formimarko85_uk: GO TO sourceforge.net AND DOWNLOAD rute!!!
14:34.41marko85_uku helped me a lot and have a nice oppinion of u so dont dissapoint me
14:35.35its-formimarko85_uk: but come on, not knowing how to cd to a directory falls as low as not knowing how to wipe your backside
14:35.52marko85_ukwell lets just say i never had a chance to experiance linux
14:35.54marko85_ukor use it
14:36.22dankolb'cd' is the same as DOS
14:36.24its-formididn't ever cross your mind to use CD as in dos?
14:36.35marko85_ukwell i know how to use a dos a bit
14:37.02marko85_ukdankolb once i cd into the directory i need to type
14:37.05marko85_ukmake clean
14:37.07marko85_ukmake ham
14:37.09dankolbYes.
14:37.10marko85_ukand make install
14:37.14dankolbYup
14:37.15its-formiDOS was the idea of what unix should never be
14:37.43marko85_ukwell you would expect DOS to be simialar to unix mainly because Bill Gates was
14:37.53marko85_ukUnix programmer
14:37.58its-formia prick?
14:38.02dankolbBut he didn't write DOS
14:38.04marko85_ukill go and try to do that
14:38.05ClyphoxDOS was bought by MS not made by MS..
14:38.28marko85_ukwell origianly DOS was addopted my MS
14:38.29Clyphoxit was a OS called QDOS.. Quick and Dirty OS (lol)
14:38.37dankolbWhich was a clone of CPM/86
14:38.43Clyphox[nod]
14:38.43marko85_ukhehe ill go now
14:38.44its-formiClyphox: how much did m$ change the os they bought?
14:38.48marko85_ukspeak in a bit
14:39.00dankolbThey didn't change too much originally
14:39.12dankolbBut developed it a lot
14:39.16dankolbAs time went on
14:39.20Clyphoxits-formi, they changed the name and very little else then flogged it to IBM for a 10year contract and.. bad-a-bing.. they were bigger then IBM :-)
14:40.35its-formii wonder how many things like "no-case-sensitiveness" were done by m$hit
14:40.57ClyphoxThat was cp-m afaik

14:41.46dankolbDaisy-chain printer?

15:56.05dankolbHi Skuggan
15:56.09pdrhi stig
15:56.18Skugganhey people! :)
15:57.10Skugganthe last one (patch-16) means he not only took my bugfixes but merged in all my new features as well :)
15:57.37pdrnumber 7.
15:57.39pdrThe larch.
15:58.00pdrSkuggan: nice work
15:58.09dankolbFood time
15:58.09dankolbBye
15:58.16pdrl8r
15:58.21pdrSkuggan: what's the package?
15:58.47Skugganpdr, package-framework -- a compelling replacement for autoconf/automake (and eventually libtool)
15:59.00pdroooh, sounds cool
15:59.22dpashpdr: the larch was numbr 4 iirc
15:59.30Skugganit's still not very mature, but it's very nice. handles only C (and with a small hack: C++) of the compiled languages yet though.
15:59.38pdrdpash: i disagree
15:59.44Skuggan`the larch'?
16:01.24Skugganmy additions was for compiling (and installing) documentation from LaTeX sources into ps, pdf, html & txt in addition to installation of datafiles.

16:03.58Skugganpdr, i see. well, the `larch' referred to in the mail I cited is the arch revision control system (where I also just had some patches accepted, but of substantially less stature)
16:04.55pdrhave you looked at a-a-p ever?
16:07.13Skugganpdr, åp? what's that?
16:07.22Skuggandamn.

16:11.40Skugganpdr, i see. i'll have a look at it.
16:11.58pdras for the larch, it was also a monty python sketch
16:13.24Skugganpackage-framework is heavily relying on GNU make, which is actually very good, and `as portable as possible' shell scripts (and an ounce of C)

16:57.02Skugganthe coolest football player alive: http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=47599 -- the tiny norwegian midfielder on the sidewalk, 04:30 wednesday night before match on sunday, challenging people to armwrestle him :D
16:57.30Skugganhe's the only football player I like and respect.
16:57.42Skugganhe's not in it for the money or the fuss, he just like playing ball.
17:00.22Skugganoh, I don't watch football. I hate it in fact, I just like that player :P
17:00.31Skugganhe's sooooo cool ;P
17:01.15Skugganthe rest of the team goes to a press conference to boost their ego's -- mykland (that's his name) lounges at the poolside ;)
17:01.34Skuggans,',,
17:01.37pdrcool
17:03.05Skugganwhoa. easy on the apostrophes there! :P
17:03.29pdri do like people who don't take life so seriously though - it's one thing to be in your national football team, and another to be cool about it
17:04.16Skugganyeah. he got in it quite badly for going to a bar during EC or WC i think...
17:04.28pdrlol
17:06.04Skugganhe's technically the best player Norway has, but lacks speed. he's only 5ft6 or something (but _still_ tackles like a god)
17:06.18Skugganoh, and he can't shoot for shit ;P
17:06.55Skugganhis passes are godstruck though
17:47.13pdrdpash: ouch
17:47.56pdrhow about that movie: "two weeks notice"?
17:48.34pdrthey probably couldn't work out which side of the s to put the apostrophe, so decided to just leave it out.  bloody seppos.
17:51.06dpashpdr: why should it have one?
17:51.21dpashpdr: weeks is not possesive
17:51.40pdrin my books it is
17:52.12dpashpdr: weeks is plural, but doesn't own the notice
17:52.25pdrwould you then say "one week notice"?
17:52.32pdror "one week's notice"?
17:53.33dpashbut that would imply that the notice belonged to the week
17:54.03pdrit might not 'belong' to it, but it still requires use of the possesive
17:54.42dpashhttp://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/grammarlogs4/grammarlogs543.htm
17:57.53dpashhttp://www.lessontutor.com/eesapostrophe.html
18:00.14dpashpdr: so it is weeks'but I still don't think it is possessive but never mind
18:00.37pdrthe latter doesn't really cover our case, and I'd also disagree with a few of their rules
18:00.51pdr:-)
18:01.15pdrnot worth arguing about anyway
18:04.44pdralthough it's wrong either way, since without the apostrophe you'd need a hyphon since two describes weeks, not notice.  i.e. "two-weeks notice"

19:56.08eye69What do you want help with?
19:57.15OrangeSkiesmy system crashes every time i try to mount my windows hard disk
19:57.53eye69Define crashes.
19:59.10OrangeSkieseverything locks up straight away
19:59.11OrangeSkiescant move the mouse the hard disk doesnt do anything, it all just stops =[
19:59.52eye69What's the partition layout?
20:00.03eye69What FS on the Windows partition?
20:00.46OrangeSkiesits FAT32
20:00.56OrangeSkieslinux is on my primary master
20:01.04OrangeSkieswindows on secondary master
20:01.13OrangeSkieswindows was installed first
20:01.28eye69What kernel?
20:01.44OrangeSkieserm... how d'you check again? i forgot hehe
20:01.51OrangeSkiesjust installed mandrake 9.0 (again)
20:01.58eye69uname -r
20:02.02OrangeSkiesok

20:02.32eye69I can't say that I've ever encountered that problem.
20:03.03OrangeSkies...bugger
20:03.23OrangeSkieswhen i try to boot straight into windows the screen just goes black
20:03.59OrangeSkiesthe first time i tried to mount it from linux it opened, but then i tried to get into one of my folders and it crashed like it does first time now
20:04.43eye69What Win version?
20:04.55eye69Windows generally can't cope with not being on the first disk.
20:05.03OrangeSkieswindows xp
20:05.08OrangeSkiespro
20:05.28eye69You mostly need to do some drive swapping in your boot manager to be able to do that.
20:06.05Leedsntfs?
20:06.14OrangeSkiesnah its FAT32
20:07.16OrangeSkiesi'm gonna fiddle around with my hard disks
20:07.20eye69There's no real reason why that would make Linux lockup though.

20:33.27marko85_ukwell i dont think i have i just download the first three discs
20:33.35marko85_uki thought the other 3 are the source code and stuff
20:33.49Leedsabsolutely not your fault... but I think that distros which don't install kernel source (at least headers) and separate libraries from their headers are *broken by design*
20:34.09marko85_ukbroke by desing means shit?
20:34.22LeedsI don't know what it's called - I don't use RedHat, remember - but the kernel source should be somewhere on the 'binary' CDs
20:34.38marko85_ukthe once i didnt download
20:34.49marko85_ukfucking hell how many problems will i have :(
20:34.50Leedsnot quite shit - just that they've decided to do things in a way which causes no end of problems for people - like your problem now
20:36.09marko85_ukleeds if me i concied myself to have a bit of ICT knowledge can not install red hat and get it to work for 5 weeks how is some newbie that decided to learn linux straight away do it?
20:36.16Leedsthe RPM you need is called kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm and it's not listed as a source RPM, so it should be on the binary CDs
20:36.52Leedsfirst thing - don't use RedHat :-)  I think Mandrake is currently the king of the easy-install... and don't use semi-supported hardware like dodgy modems
20:37.47SpudUAwayNah, think SuSE is King of Easy Install
20:37.48Leedsif you don't have that RPM, you can get it from ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm
20:37.53marko85_uksomeone told me that but u know me always want my own way
20:38.09SpudUAwayMandrake is easier to download though!
20:38.10marko85_ukhow big is that file?
20:38.34Leedsunfortunately, if you always want your own way... you need to do a bit of work to make it your way...
20:38.37Leedsabout 28Mb
20:39.03marko85_uki am doing work :) but maybe not enough of it hehe
20:39.25eye69Debian has a separate headers debfile with the headers configured for the running kernel...I don't know if RH has something equivalent.
20:39.43marko85_ukwhy there are some people that just wack red hat in install and enjoy and me having to configure every single peace of hardware
20:40.00eye69Like if I run 2.4.18-i686 I would install kernel-headers-2.4.18-i686
20:40.05Leedseye69: I'd expect it to be called something like kernel-headers, and that's not there... I think slack has a similar thing
20:40.43Leedssince I only use the Linus kernel (plus any needed patches), it doesn't really apply to me...
20:40.53eye69Me neither.
20:41.03eye69Updating CV is boring
20:41.16marko85_ukleeds do u think that file i need would be on the first 3 discs?
20:41.42eye69Search on the discs for any file matching *header*
20:41.44Leedsmarko85_uk: probably - I don't have the CDs, so I can't tell... it certainly *should* be, unless RedHat have completely lost it...
20:41.54Leedseye69: I'm looking on the FTP...
20:42.10marko85_ukthanks leeds
20:42.15marko85_ukeye69 how do i do that
20:42.51eye69Mount the CD, run 'find /cdrom | grep -i header'
20:43.35Leedsbetter to find /cdrom/RedHat/RPMS

22:02.37eye69Haven't really planned a pdf version
22:02.54LeedsI wouldn't put the skills list like that... I'd probably skip the "last used" column altogether (maybe just separate the table into "currently used" and other) - and note that many people might read it with a proportional font, so a table could be very very messy

23:07.28new2unixyep. the G4's are dula boot machines but users arent aware yet. we get them to use MacOs9.22 till a time we are ready for the transtion.
23:07.56new2unixNot all applications have been tested under OS X
23:09.04new2unixI'm new to the world of Apple but i'm always keen to try out the "terminal" while my collegues prefer the eye candy of the drag and drop world :)
23:09.39dankolbThe Terminal is quite useful
23:10.28Leedsnot as useful as the Terminator
23:10.50dankolbEspecially a Terminator on a BNC network
23:11.26new2unixhehe
23:12.29skuggdankolb, not without its twin! :P
23:12.39dankolbTrue :)
23:14.30new2unixBy upgrading from 9.22 to OS X, we are going to dish out on a whole new set of licenses that require upgrading too cos they presently done work too well wth MacOS9.22
23:14.46new2unixWhere would i go about searching for a Linux alternative?
23:14.58skuggokay; this is the situation. I had gandi.net redirecting my email from my domain to stig@printf.net . now it seems printf.net have gone tits-up. I've rerouted mail to a different address, but that won't take effect until 22 hours or so.
23:14.59dankolbwww.freebsd.org
23:15.04dankolbThat's a good Linux alternative
23:15.20new2unixWhat do people in the Free/Open world use for DTP on a medium to large scale?
23:15.23dankolbskugg: Does printf.net have an MX backup?
23:15.26skuggwill I lose mail in the meantime? or will it be re-delivered to my new address after it becomes live?
23:15.28dankolbnew2unix: I think they don't
23:15.32skuggdankolb, i don't know
23:15.39dankolbHm. Dunno, skugg
23:16.15skugghope i'm not bouncing...
23:16.37Leedsyou shouldn't lose mail as long as your address is dead for less than about 4 years
23:16.40skuggsince it's a black hole atm it shouldn't, right?
23:16.43Leedsargh! 4 days!
23:16.44skugg<-- paranoid
23:16.52Leedsyears? damn I'm tired...
23:16.54skuggLeeds, for what?
23:17.10skuggah. :)
23:17.16dankolbskugg: You mail will be queued up on urchin.earth.li
23:17.28skuggdankolb, okay.
23:17.28dankolbAnd it'll be delivered to void when it comes back up
23:17.37dankolb(host -t mx printf.net)
23:17.40skuggokay, that's fine.
23:17.55new2unixdankolb: you said they dont. what do you mean?
23:17.56skuggthanks, i'll try to remember that (but probably won't)
23:18.22dankolbI don't think that people in the Free world use DTP
23:18.26dankolb(much)
23:20.00new2unixand the opensource world?
23:20.14dankolbLikewise
23:20.30dankolbLook at Scribus, but it won't do anything like what PageMaker can do
23:21.03new2unixwhat about Colin and John? i guess i should ask spud when next he's online to see what he uses on the Linux magazine they both work on.
23:24.09Leedsthey use open/star office for at least some stuff
23:31.52new2unixdo they have a Quark equivalent?
23:32.04new2unixthey dont use MS stuff do they?
23:38.32*** join/#gllug cupis_ (~paul@modem-1753.crocodile.dialup.pol.co.uk)

23:52.58dankolbskugg: Yeah
23:53.00skuggLeeds, one with hot salt beef and majo, easy on the mustard :P
23:53.06dankolbrev1318: Oh good. You've got the most important bit done, then
