| 10:18.45 | Erwin | in the tcpdump, there seem to be 2 connections though. In the first one, some of the data from the remote seems to be sent, and then the connection is closed |
| 10:26.02 | mozrat | Hmmm, that was weird. Phone rang. Picked up and said hello. Confused lady on other end said "Hello, how can I help you?" |
| 10:26.14 | mozrat | as if I was dialing her |

| 10:29.18 | Erwin | rhowe: well, in the first one some data *is* received in response to RETR, but which? |

| 11:46.35 | mozrat | Would you generally agree storing the same piece of configuration data into 2 separate places is a bad idea? |
| 11:46.50 | mozrat | so when you make a change in the GUI it writes the data into 2 files in different formats |
| 11:47.34 | new2unix | mozrat: who's the question for? |
| 11:47.45 | mozrat | no-one I'm just ranting |
| 11:47.54 | mozrat | Apple OS X DNS configuration |
| 11:48.01 | mozrat | written to /etc/resolv.conf |
| 11:48.03 | mozrat | and also Your current IP address is 192.168.128.217 |
| 11:48.09 | mozrat | hmm, wait one |
| 11:48.26 | mozrat | /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist |
| 11:48.53 | mozrat | so your list of DNS servers isn't easily changable via a script as you have to change it in 2 places |
| 11:56.53 | Blapto | mozrat, are you sure that preferences.plist doesn't build itself off of resolv.conf? That's how it works on all other OS X. |
| 11:58.21 | mozrat | Blapto: not according to what I'm reading |
| 11:58.34 | mozrat | changes made in the GUI are sent to the plist and then filter down to resolv.conf |
| 11:58.43 | Blapto | Strange. |
| 11:58.47 | mozrat | http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050621051643993 |
| 11:58.59 | Blapto | For most plists in OS X you can delete them with no ill effect, they just rebuild themselves. It's common troubleshooting proceedure. |
| 12:01.53 | mozrat | yeah, but that one particular file contains prefs for a lot more than networking |
| 12:02.21 | mozrat | I have an example script for blowing away the DNS config now - it was in the comments to that page |

| 12:27.31 | \simon | i work at Nethesis in Pesaro (PU) |
| 12:29.57 | \simon | i'm mainly involved in develop a custom linux distribution based on red hat enterprise and sme server |
| 12:33.43 | kbsingh | humm |
| 12:33.48 | kbsingh | \simon, why ? |
| 12:35.45 | \simon | kbsingh: mainly to add new features to sme server |
| 12:36.22 | \simon | we try to keep everything the same as much as we can adding new stuff |
| 12:37.22 | Blapto | back |
| 12:40.00 | kbsingh | \simon, what kind of things are you adding ? |
| 12:42.46 | \simon | mail filtering spam/antivirus, openvpn, fax server, status reports (to our company servers), etc... |
| 12:43.42 | mozrat | \simon is that an internal project or will it be released? |
| 12:43.52 | kbsingh | so this is something that stays internal to your own orgnisation or is this for public consumption ? |
| 12:44.00 | mozrat | kbsingh: SNAP! |
| 12:44.07 | kbsingh | :D |
| 12:44.14 | \simon | no they sell it to resellers |
| 12:44.53 | kbsingh | \simon, url ? |
| 12:44.54 | \simon | they mainly sell the support on it and courses... |
| 12:45.20 | \simon | http://www.nethesis.it/default.php?t=site&pgid=7 |
| 12:45.54 | kbsingh | how about something that is in HTML |
| 12:48.50 | \simon | ahah you're right i already complained |
| 12:49.18 | kbsingh | well, I cant see it - am on a ppc64 machine.... |
| 12:50.17 | \simon | the site really doesnt say anything important |
| 12:51.26 | kbsingh | can I download the distro somewhere ? |
| 12:52.07 | \simon | not the modifications |
| 12:52.25 | \simon | you can download the sme server in the sourceforge site |
| 12:53.05 | kbsingh | its the modifications that I am interested in - more from an academic interest than anything else. |
| 12:53.17 | kbsingh | basically, what it is that you are doing |
| 12:53.43 | \simon | http://sourceforge.net/projects/smeserver |
| 12:55.41 | \simon | i create the script and everything else is necessary to build the configurations from a web interface |
| 12:56.19 | \simon | i suggest you to download sme server and give it a try |
| 12:57.48 | \simon | right now i'm backporting the spamassassin configuration panel to an our previous distribution version |
| 12:58.32 | kbsingh | ok, so i dont understand |
| 12:58.50 | kbsingh | you dont actually add any functionality to the smeserver distro, just create custom config's ? |
| 12:59.04 | \simon | ok i'll do an example |
| 13:00.17 | \simon | sme server has not openvpn... we build an openvpn packet for it and we install it... now the web control panel is missing for it... we have to create and add the web control panel |
| 13:00.27 | \simon | s/packet/package/ |
| 13:00.57 | \simon | a control panel where you can configure it |
| 13:15.38 | kbsingh | sure, but all this is open source right ? |
| 13:15.51 | mozrat | If I want to change a single line of a file with sed should I use a temporary file or some STDOUT redirection? |
| 13:18.05 | Erwin | GNU sed has a -i option now like perl |
| 13:18.30 | Erwin | i.e. "in place": it implicitly applies your pattern, outputting to a temporary file then renames back |
| 13:19.17 | mozrat | Erwin: cool. Let me try that |
| 13:19.37 | Erwin | I prefer Perl, since you know what you get (you may have a solaris sed or whatever) |
| 13:19.46 | mozrat | or OS X sed |
| 13:33.27 | \simon | kbsingh: not yet, some port of the project will be released as open source to the sme server |
| 13:33.42 | \simon | s/port/part/ |
| 13:34.38 | \simon | and many sme server bug fixes has been released as well |
| 14:25.49 | morsing | Solaris sucks |
| 14:30.22 | mozrat | morsing: Thank you |
| 14:32.16 | morsing | mozrat: What? |
| 14:32.37 | mozrat | morsing: I was trying to use it recently and had it all installed and I couldn't get much sense out of it |
| 14:33.06 | mozrat | I'm very prepared to admit I don't know a lot about it but from what I saw I preferred other OS's to Solaris |
| 15:32.55 | \simon | mozrat: ahah today is the coffee day... someone here just spilled it all over a desk |
| 15:33.05 | mozrat | good stuff |
| 15:33.34 | \simon | no laptop injuried |

| 17:25.20 | jason_ukfsn | You should be able to take a look at it via http://www.jasonclifford.com/fun/expo-2005.pdf |
| 17:25.44 | jason_ukfsn | It's A5 in size so there are two copies on the A4 sheet to be cut |

| 17:27.34 | wethrin | jason_ukfsn: Anth is now in New Zealand |
| 17:27.47 | Leeds | jason_ukfsn: not sure asking people to 'join' is right... and it's possible there's too many references to beer/pub :-) |
| 17:27.59 | Leeds | wethrin: not forgetting the Poles |

| 17:28.38 | jason_ukfsn | wethrin - patch applied ;) |
| 17:28.57 | wethrin | And if you're going to mention the IRC channel on freenode, at least mention the channel :-) |
| 17:29.47 | jason_ukfsn | channel mentioned now. |
| 17:29.47 | wethrin | Oh, and the signoff is diferent on the two columns |
| 17:30.09 | Leeds | wethrin: I considered it a test of initiative - could people translate from "GLLUG IRC channel on irc.freenode.net" to "#gllug@irc.freenode.net" |
| 17:30.29 | wethrin | We could be #gllug-uk, though |
| 17:30.39 | wethrin | as gllug.org is the Greater Lansing LUG |
| 17:30.39 | Leeds | jason_ukfsn: maybe "join us at gllug" rather than "join gllug" |
| 17:30.45 | Leeds | true |
| 17:31.12 | jason_ukfsn | OK, now the end reads "You can find out more and join us at GLLUG via our website at:" |
| 17:31.34 | jason_ukfsn | scrub the at on the end of that lot. |
| 17:31.35 | Leeds | I'd take out the second at |
| 17:31.35 | wethrin | Have you got it to look the same yet? :) |
| 17:31.37 | Leeds | right :-) |
| 17:31.46 | jason_ukfsn | yes |
| 17:31.52 | wethrin | Oh, the website really needs updating :) |
| 17:31.55 | Blapto | nah, keep on getting generic real media errore |
| 17:31.57 | wethrin | It looks *so* 2001 |
| 17:32.12 | jason_ukfsn | I'm not doing the website. I have enough trouble with my own sites ;) |
| 17:32.20 | wethrin | That, and the next regular meeting will not be 2 months ago or more |
| 17:32.44 | Leeds | jason_ukfsn: maybe we "use" stuff at wmin.ac rather than "hav[ing] access to" |
| 17:33.24 | jason_ukfsn | I'm intending to print off 250 or so of these. Once cut that gives 500 copies. |
| 17:34.06 | wethrin | What about: "Special offer for joining Gllug at the Expo - only £2 to become a member"? :) |
| 17:34.07 | jason_ukfsn | Leeds: now it says use |
| 17:34.08 | Blapto | probably too many people listening |
| 17:34.25 | jason_ukfsn | How about "only three rounds in the pub after Expo to join"? |
| 17:34.32 | \simon | back!!!!!! |
| 17:34.40 | wethrin | Get money off the Suits |
| 17:34.44 | George | they mis-spelt GLLUG :) |
| 17:34.46 | Leeds | webcast is annoyingly late |
| 17:34.48 | George | the stand says |
| 17:34.49 | wethrin | Use it to fund the Gllug boozing habit |
| 17:34.52 | George | "GLUUG" |
| 17:35.05 | wethrin | George: Pedantically, we are more of a UUG than a LUG |
| 17:35.16 | George | wethrin: yes, but we are GLLUG, not GLUUG |
| 17:35.21 | wethrin | Leeds: What's the webcast of? |
| 17:35.23 | George | anyway, I've told them to fix it |
| 17:35.24 | Leeds | but it's not like there is any competition with the real LUUG |
| 17:35.28 | Leeds | wethrin: google office announcement |
| 17:35.43 | Leeds | it's started - someone is reading an arse-covering statement |
| 17:35.48 | wethrin | That can be interpreted in two ways |
| 17:35.55 | wethrin | A physical building, or a software thing? |
| 17:36.02 | Blapto | software |
| 17:36.10 | Blapto | online office suit. Google meets openoffice.org |
| 17:36.13 | wethrin | Ahhh |
| 17:36.26 | jason_ukfsn | but will it be released as software as well as a service? |
| 17:36.28 | wethrin | Sounds interesting. But how compatible is it with MSux? |
| 17:36.38 | Blapto | I dunno, I'm trying to get onto the stream :D |
| 17:36.46 | jason_ukfsn | Who cares? MS will be breaking compatibility (again) soon anyway |
| 17:37.04 | wethrin | Hrm. It's been almost 4 months since the last Gllug meeting. Something shoudl be done! |
| 17:37.50 | Leeds | wethrin: to some extent, that's got to depend on people who are actually in London... :-) |
| 17:37.51 | jason_ukfsn | There was supposed to be a meeting for the Ubuntu thing this month but it looks like it's fallen through. Sean is organising an installfest for November |
| 17:38.02 | wethrin | Leeds: And there's fewer and fewer of us? :) |
| 17:38.18 | Blapto | http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/10/04/1234229&tid=102&tid=217 if you want to see other speculating about it. |
| 17:38.31 | jason_ukfsn | far too many who are "not so near" - shouldn't be allowed. |
| 17:38.36 | jason_ukfsn | BTW - happy new year Leeds |
| 17:38.44 | wethrin | Heh. Installfests seem to be more of an excuse for "shit, we haven't had a meeting, let's just have an excuse for meeting up" rather than a meeting in itself |
| 17:38.55 | Leeds | jason_ukfsn: given that mark shuttleworth lives in London and seems a pretty community-oriented guy... someone should try to get him to gllug |
| 17:38.57 | Leeds | jason_ukfsn: thatnks |

| 17:41.31 | jason_ukfsn | Has anyone been in contact with him before or does anyone know him personally? Better to have that kind of contact if possible. |
| 17:42.08 | wethrin | jason_ukfsn: I've found asking for talks doesn't require knowing someone personally |
| 17:42.21 | Blapto | brb |
| 17:42.29 | jason_ukfsn | No but getting them to accept email might do so. |
| 17:42.40 | wethrin | Eh |
| 17:42.58 | Leeds | wouldn't have thought it would be too hard to get a short note "we're gllug - Linux in London - let's talk" to him |
| 17:43.13 | jason_ukfsn | I'll fire off an email to him and see if he bites. |
| 17:44.56 | jason_ukfsn | Hmm, looks like he has an assistant to handle initial contact. I'll give her a try first. |
| 17:49.49 | jason_ukfsn | hmm, mark lists public speaking as one of his dislikes on his website. |
| 17:49.49 | mozrat | evening folks |
| 17:50.36 | jason_ukfsn | back in 15 minutes |
| 17:50.40 | jason_ukfsn | ./away |
| 17:50.52 | Leeds | jason_ukfsn: then just get him to come along and hang out |
| 17:56.45 | Leeds | so the two announcements are effectively that sun will be distributing the google toolbar along with the jre... and that google will be buying (more) stuff from sun |
| 17:56.54 | Leeds | no google/ajax office... |
| 17:57.03 | Leeds | gone to q&a now |
| 18:05.02 | Leeds | scott's teeth are still scary |
| 18:13.51 | jason_ukfsn | so the whole Sun/Google announcement is a non-event |
| 18:15.24 | Leeds | yeah |
| 18:16.04 | jason_ukfsn | I don't want to be rude and suggest stupidity or madness so I'll keep quiet ;) |
| 18:16.36 | Leeds | eh, it's not like I've got work in the morning |
| 18:17.40 | Leeds | they're done not announcing very much |
| 18:18.19 | jason_ukfsn | well I guess you can get some sleep then. |
| 18:18.41 | Leeds | there was a very clear question from a journo asking if they were planning googleopenweboffice - Google dude said no, but the idea of an office suite was becoming less important anyway, blah blah |
| 18:19.15 | jason_ukfsn | that's pretty much what they were saying last week |
| 18:22.35 | Leeds | night all |
| 18:22.47 | jason_ukfsn | good night Leeds |

| 22:17.47 | George | new2unix: heh, the openbsd booth fell apart |
| 22:18.08 | George | new2unix: I leant on one of the poles in the AFFS booth, and the OpenBSD support fell off |

| 22:18.16 | George | was quite lethal actually |
| 22:19.20 | mozrat | George: sabotage? |

| 22:20.15 | new2unix | mozrat: I dont think so but i can check and get back to you. |
| 22:21.50 | mozrat | new2unix: No urgent worry, but if it comes up in conversation :) |
