00:00.13 | Leeds | not on a single-user UP machine it isn't |
00:00.33 | gregj | my laptop is doing average 7 |
00:00.49 | Leeds | that's KDE for you :-P |
00:00.52 | gregj | especialy when i am compiling something in background |
00:00.55 | gregj | no, console |
00:01.09 | Leeds | I'm not compiling anymore |
00:05.18 | Leeds | woo - download 1 is done |
00:05.40 | Clyphox | what is it? |
00:06.49 | Leeds | Dead Like Me 1x04 |
00:07.02 | Leeds | I think it's on on TV in about 2 hours :-) |
00:07.59 | Leeds | 0355 |
00:08.16 | highbury | its still nicely quirky, Dead Like Me that is |
00:09.07 | Leeds | one of the downloads I have going is the entire first season... |
00:11.15 | gregj | hehe |
00:19.12 | gregj | now some ice cream, and fun time :D |
00:22.13 | gregj | hehe |
00:22.51 | gregj | tommorow i will have to setup tftp and teak X windows , so it work will diskless thing |
00:23.10 | gregj | Leeds: did you knew that swap can be done over nfs ... |
00:23.11 | gregj | :-) |
00:23.21 | Leeds | yes, I knew that |
00:23.50 | gregj | i've read some time ago about guy that used some part of 32MB on his VGA for swap as well |
00:24.12 | gregj | nowdays you have VGAs with 64/128 as standart |
00:24.19 | Leeds | 3dfx, I think that was |
00:24.31 | gregj | maybe |
00:25.01 | gregj | man, those HDs are slow |
00:25.04 | highbury | its a shame that you have to have a graphics card at all |
00:25.06 | gregj | IDE in this computer is faster.. |

00:25.41 | gregj | this reminds me to setup duke3d |
00:28.12 | Clyphox | Its ironic that I could never play duke on win98 upwards untill I played it on linux |
00:28.40 | Clyphox | Hmmm.. my eyes are getting blurry |
00:28.43 | Clyphox | Coffee time |
00:29.04 | Clyphox | Can you believe there there are REAL people who don't use PC's for more than 40min an hour!?!?!! |
00:29.08 | Clyphox | bbiam |
00:29.09 | Clyphox | </rant> |
00:36.36 | Clyphox | highbury: may I have a look at them? |
00:37.58 | highbury | not mine to really give away, unfortunately. There's nothing, that other systems, e.g. COPS/Sara/Titan don't do better |
00:38.29 | Clyphox | ohh ok.. I was just wondering what "Shell security scripts" were u c |
00:38.30 | highbury | I will ask howver, before I leave |
00:39.28 | Clyphox | good luck hehe |
00:39.32 | highbury | its a set of Unix Audit scripts I had to write to audit Solaris/HP-UX/AIX and Linux systems, based on a Unix Security Policy I wrote |
00:40.00 | Clyphox | can you poll ports etc via sh? |
00:40.14 | Clyphox | ohh you can pipe stuff with telnet can't you? |
00:40.20 | Clyphox | sorry.. just wondering heh |
00:40.22 | highbury | In my last job, I worked on a similar set of scripts, but I started off with a clean slate |
00:40.56 | highbury | no real networking stuff, just file/directory permission checking. passwd integrity checks |
00:41.37 | Clyphox | ahh I see |
00:42.07 | highbury | the hardest stuff has been getting the thing to run via ssh or rsh, using rsysc [sr]cp etc, without hanging or getting confused |
00:42.37 | highbury | I did learn some cool things about shell wrappers, which I will probably post |
00:42.48 | highbury | s/shell/login-shell/ |
00:42.49 | Clyphox | Surely just getting the initial shell is the hard part? |
00:43.21 | highbury | It assumes you have root access on the machine, or some form of trusted access |
00:43.35 | highbury | ie. its a set of audit tools not cracking tools |
00:44.16 | Clyphox | yeah I got that ;-) |
00:45.34 | highbury | but what is quite interesting is having a login shell, which is an executable file just containing |
00:45.41 | highbury | #!/bin/sh |
00:45.49 | highbury | echo "$@" |
00:46.24 | highbury | echo and just firing off commands at it, ie. rsh/ssh/rcp/scp/rsync etc |
00:49.03 | Clyphox | hehe cool |
00:49.13 | Clyphox | I'll try to remember that one |

11:21.03 | Leeds | it's called banging your head against a brick wall... and it's not good for you |
11:21.37 | formi | I find my own question posted somewhere with no good answer |
11:22.11 | formi | Leeds: got a problem in my place, there are only 4 |
11:24.16 | Leeds | murb: any idea why Apple appear to be using .lu as their European shipping hub? :-) |
11:24.53 | formi | basically the problem I have is that the nic on my gateway throws up "Oct 15 12:03:41 open /bsd: ne3: warning - receiver ring buffer overrun" |
11:25.41 | formi | every 2-3 minutes, which is logged and in doing so, gets the hard-disk out of the sleep mode |
11:25.46 | Leeds | formi: this is a Linux, BSD box? |
11:25.53 | formi | bsd |
11:26.16 | Leeds | edit the message out of your kernel? :-) fix the driver? :-) |
11:27.26 | formi | my idea was to fix dhcpd, so when nobody is using the lan, it basically issues a ifconfig ne3 down |
11:27.55 | formi | and when somebody requests a dhcp lease, it activates the nic |
11:28.03 | Leeds | ugh |
11:29.19 | formi | now I do have the idea that there was some way of firing a script from dhcpd but I have been not very lucky finding out how |
11:29.39 | Clyphox | run the proccess out of tmpfs |
11:29.49 | Clyphox | maybe setup a chrooted environment |
11:30.01 | Clyphox | I do that with quake3 heh |
11:30.48 | formi | i also thought of syslogging to another machine, but that is kind of messy |
11:31.48 | eye69 | Use syslog-ng and filter out that message. |
11:34.40 | Leeds | hmmm... moz/firebird/thunderbird all revved... |
11:39.48 | Clyphox | Leeds: eh? |
11:40.23 | Leeds | moz 1.5, firebird 0.7 and thunderbird 0.3 all got released this morning |
11:40.56 | Clyphox | OHH! |
11:41.07 | Clyphox | I wonder if there's anything new heehee |
11:41.46 | Leeds | um, yeah, there is :-) |
11:44.33 | Clyphox | I'm busy compiling OO .. |
11:44.50 | Clyphox | I don't see why to update phoenix atm.. maybe later.. |
11:46.37 | Leeds | 12:48:30 (224.56 KB/s) - `MozillaFirebird-source-0.7.tar.gz' saved [38758572] |
11:46.39 | Leeds | :-) |
12:01.48 | Leeds | argh!!! the tarball unpacks into a directory called "mozilla" - thereby partially overwriting my existing cvs-downloaded mozilla directory... why can't people use version numbers in directory names??? |
12:02.08 | Clyphox | Cause they have their own beliefs.. |
12:02.22 | Leeds | yeah, but... they're wrong |
12:02.27 | Clyphox | I agre |
12:02.28 | Clyphox | e |
12:02.53 | Clyphox | but then mozilla was developed by ex nustscape ppl.. lotsa windoze users |
12:04.17 | Leeds | partly true... |
12:04.21 | Clyphox | Damnit html sucks |
12:04.32 | Leeds | I think they're pretty au fait with the open source world now |
12:05.20 | Clyphox | indeed.. I believe I no longer use AOL/Time warner sofware too now |
12:06.13 | Leeds | ? |
12:07.49 | Clyphox | Didn't AOL(netscape_ just sever their link with mozilla.. including even giving them a few million iirc |
12:07.54 | Clyphox | something like that |
12:08.02 | Clyphox | Huhn: was the COFFEE good :-) ? |
12:09.32 | Leeds | something like that, yes |
12:10.28 | Huhn | Clyphox: yes, thanks, feeling slightly better :) |

20:15.51 | Jenson | does XP have a built in one? |
20:15.58 | cozmonort | think so |
20:16.01 | Jenson | good |
20:16.12 | Wethrin | Umm...all versions of Windows since 95 had an FTP client |
20:16.17 | Jenson | if ive gotta use the bloody OS im gonna make good use of it |

20:17.46 | Wethrin | s/disk makes no sense |

21:22.18 | JD | hi all |
21:22.37 | Clyphox | Hi JD |
21:22.41 | Clyphox | howzit? |
21:22.42 | Wethrin | 'ello |
21:22.45 | JD | not too bad |
21:23.00 | Clyphox | :-) |
21:23.07 | Clyphox | Always a good thing |
21:23.21 | Clyphox | I would typically measure "good" as not being offline hehe |
21:25.45 | JD | lol |
21:25.57 | JD | well irssi is always here |
21:26.06 | JD | I'm just not always looking at irssi |
21:29.37 | Wethrin | Anyone an SQL person here? |
21:31.22 | JD | yeah |
21:32.44 | Wethrin | Okay. |
21:32.53 | Wethrin | I have a question that read: |
21:32.55 | Wethrin | *reads: |
21:33.04 | Wethrin | "Of all the rafts, tents and shovels that have been ordered, which cost the most?" |
21:33.33 | Wethrin | So something like SELECT item FROM items_ordered WHERE price=(SELECT MAX(price) FROM |
21:33.36 | Wethrin | <PROTECTED> |
21:33.49 | Wethrin | However, the SQL parser we're supposed to use doesn't support subqueries. |
21:34.00 | JD | mysql? |
21:34.11 | Leeds | Wethrin: this is schoolwork? |
21:34.34 | Wethrin | Yeh. Pointless database exercises :) |
21:34.41 | JD | well select everything where item is raft or item is tent etc and order htem |
21:34.43 | Wethrin | JD: No. www.sqlcourse2.com/sql_interpreter.html |
21:35.02 | Wethrin | Ah. Order by price, and limit to the first result? |
21:35.04 | Wethrin | (DESC price) |
21:35.36 | JD | should be possible to select the first item |
21:35.42 | Wethrin | Yeh. |
21:35.53 | Wethrin | LIMIT 1, or similar? |
21:36.06 | JD | possibly |
21:36.11 | JD | depends on the parser |
21:36.46 | Leeds | ah, it's good to know that standardisation works |
21:37.03 | Wethrin | It does work. |
21:37.05 | Wethrin | Thanks! :) |
21:38.42 | JD | Wethrin: because you aren;t a compsci? |
21:38.44 | JD | yet |
21:38.56 | Wethrin | Probably. |
21:39.12 | Wethrin | I blame my A-Level Maths teacher. He always taught us convoluted ways of doing things. |
