03:25.57Leedsgood lord
05:37.36shaimorning ...
05:37.38shaihi Leeds
05:56.11Copemorning shai
05:57.18shaihi
06:25.29shaiwhat's the linux alternative for exchange?
06:26.09shaisomething that one can even use when working under windows ...
06:26.15shailike with Mozilla Calendar
06:30.52Copeah, this is a big question
06:31.01Copewhat do you need to do?
06:31.09Copeis it just email with integrated shared calendar?
06:31.19shaimy friend started a new company ...
06:31.24Copehow much of a "groupware" solution is needed?
06:31.29shaihe has a few employees now ...
06:31.51shaihe needs to be able to work with them to schedule meetings ...
06:32.04shaihe does not want to buy M$'s SBS
06:33.27shaithere should be a central db that so he can, at any time, check out the "free" time for any employee... thus being able to schedule a meeting that all of the needed attendents be available...
06:34.22shaibe saying "he" ... i mean anyone that needs/has accesss to read the other person's schedule
06:34.25shaivia the central db
06:35.12Copeokay
06:36.13Copei am out of date, but i would spend some time googling for linux exchange alternatives; linux shared calendar; etc
06:36.25Copei remember there being a few options
06:36.33shaii see...
06:36.39Copethen once you are familiar with some options, and maybe have some specific questions
06:37.06shaithanks :)
06:37.08Copewrite an email to the list saying what you;ve researched, what candidates you've lined up, and asking if anyone has experience with these
06:37.21shaithank you
06:37.40Copei'll have a look too, as it is something that interests me, and it would be good to update my knowledge
06:38.03Copeyou will find this is a VFAQ amongst linux advocates, so you should get some ideas pretty quickly
06:38.37Copethe important thing to do is get a specification of what you need ahead of time; otherwise the goalposts will move, and you'll find your solution doesn't meet the requirements
06:45.05shaii've already found this nice project: The Kolab Groupware Project
06:45.13shaikolab.org
06:45.47shaiwhich, at first glance, seems like the idle solution .. and that it is an active project.
06:47.59shaithere even is a thunderbird plugin for Kolab ... which is basically a way of sharing info under and IMAP folder ...
06:48.01shaiThunderbird Plugin: Sync Kolab
06:48.05shaihttp://www.gargan.org/extensions/synckolab.html
06:48.48shaiso once you have the Kolab server going, you just add the plugin to your TB (which isn't the only available Kolab client) and sync via IMAP ...
07:14.12Copesounds ok
07:14.38Copei'd now look for critical reviews of kolab
07:14.56Copebecause you'll find people have used it; and discovered its drawbacks
07:15.54shaii've also joined the mailing list .. so i can get an overview of it...
07:16.05Copecool
07:17.12SlayerXPmorning
07:17.39Copehi SlayerXP
07:18.00shaimorning SlayerXP
07:20.06SlayerXPhas george returned to us yet? :)
07:20.26shaiCope, yet installing Kolab would proove harder then most...
07:20.50shaisince there is only a debian rpm for it... if one needs to install from source, there are way to many packages
07:21.18Leedsmorning shai, all
07:21.28shaihi Leeds
07:21.55Copeshai: why would you want to install from source?
07:21.57shaihow can one download this entire dir http://max.kde.org:8080/mirrors/ftp.kolab.org/server/release/kolab-server-2.0.3/sources/ ?
07:22.12Copeshai: if there is a maintained package, you're in business
07:22.20shaii don't see one...
07:22.28shaijust for debian .. and I use CentOS
07:22.31Copeah ok
07:22.38Copelet's look
07:22.43Leedshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v0T0hM_ejQ is what I queued for over 3 hours outside for last night
07:23.05shaithey do say something about openpkg .. but i'm guessing that is how they package the lot ...
07:23.39Copehttp://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Installation_on_Centos_4.3
07:23.41shaiand again... just for debian
07:23.47shaiCope, it is empty ...
07:23.52Copefollow the link
07:24.10shaiit is an empty article (been there, done that)
07:24.29shaidoh!
07:24.34shaimy bad
07:24.38Copei know :)
07:25.48shainow downloading :)
07:26.01Copeyou are doing this on a test machine, right?
07:26.08shaiyes :)
07:26.12Copegood good
07:26.18shaii have a testing centos pc i use...
07:26.25Copeok
07:26.26shaijust some old P3 if i'm not mistaken
07:26.30Copesure, ideal
07:26.37shaiyes :)
07:26.53shailastnight, i did a mondo backup of my new installed server.
07:27.07Copewhere did you store the tapes?
07:27.11shaioh, and i finished re-installing and re-building my other server that got rooted :)
07:27.29shaino... i stored it on NFS mount and then burned it on three CDs.
07:27.54shaii will need to shutdown the box though, install a new HDD and test the restore....
07:28.06shaii'll do that later...
07:28.13SlayerXPit's too early for the backup nazi
07:28.27Copeaww, and i'd prepped it so nicely for you :)
07:28.28shailol
07:28.41shaioh!
07:28.52shaii have another project i wish to engage in ...
07:28.56Coperighto
07:28.59shaii have another celeron pc ...
07:29.08SlayerXPi'm sorry to hear that
07:29.10shaii want to know if i can make it my router?
07:29.11Copedo you need a doorstop?
07:29.37SlayerXPshai: you have my permission to do so
07:29.41shaii mean... i want it to dail my L2TP connection ... and then be my firewall and NAT device.
07:29.51shaidial*
07:29.58Copesounds feasible to me
07:30.04shaiyea?
07:30.07SlayerXPthere's plenty of router-orientated distros out there
07:30.08Copei have a shit old laptop doing something similar
07:30.11shaii've never done that before...
07:30.31shaibut i really don't want to use my router anymore ... i want to learn to do this myself.
07:30.43shaihow the connection is setup ... made, bla bla bla
07:31.10shaii've never setup a dial (PPP, L2TP or PPTP) connction on linux
07:31.49shaiwell, first step would be to install CentOS on that old box...
07:31.57LeedsI have it the other way around - a dedicated hardware router on which I've replaced the firmware with an open Linux
07:32.03shaiwith minimal packages
07:32.34shaiLeeds, but have you built the linux firmware yourself?
07:33.09Leedsnope. downloaded it - openwrt
07:33.16shainice
07:33.36Copeshai: not dissing centos in any way, as I use it extensively myself, but for these sort of projects I always use debian; more packages; kept updated and secure; no fucking about with source.
07:35.17shaioh ...
07:35.25SlayerXPthose who do not understand debian are doomed to reimplement it.  badly.
07:35.42shaiCope, and when you say "sort of projects" you mean both?
07:35.43LeedsI, of course, say the opposite
07:36.00Copeyes, but we ignore you.
07:36.10Leedsstart with slack - gives you a basic, clean, stable system on which to build whatever you want
07:36.14shaibtw: at work ... we use only debian ...
07:36.20shaion both servers and clients.
07:36.37shaiall approx. 300 pcs have debian installed... some version or another.
07:36.58shaiall with a self copmiled kernel to meet each need for both servers and clienst.
07:37.12SlayerXPphew
07:37.20SlayerXPi had a shock there for a moment
07:37.24SlayerXPthought I was out of diskspace
07:37.34shaiheh
07:37.57SlayerXPwell, I mean I _am_ out of diskspace but it doesn't matter
07:38.09CopeI did exactly as Leeds suggests, when i was learning linux; slackware is great, but these days I don't see it having any advantage over centos or debian
07:38.21morsingMmm... Coffee
07:38.24shaibut at home... i found it better to use CentOS since my most important server is my mail server... and I like using Qmail Toaster for that ... and it is best installed on CentOS4
07:38.37Copeshai: interesting concept
07:39.26Copeshai: with centos 4 you have postfix out of the box; 4< you have sendmail; debian you have exim; I don't really see why you would need anything else
07:40.09SlayerXPCope: did you see my "shooting yourself in the foot with MTAs" rant? :)
07:40.34SlayerXPCope: http://blog.halon.org.uk/2006/04/26#mta-shooting
07:41.30morsingSlayerXP: Well done
07:41.40morsingLeeds!
07:41.52morsingLeeds: What is "beaming"?
07:42.09Leedsmorsing: sending over IR
07:42.24morsingBut only to other Treos?
07:42.29CopeSlayerXP: exim: something happened, but you couldn't navigate your way through the infinite numbers of config files to find the bullet, and because you haven't bought the book, you never will.
07:42.40Leedsnope - it uses standard OBEX
07:42.52SlayerXPCope: nice one.  I'll pass it along
07:43.11Leedsthere are some things it makes no sense to beam to non-PalmOS devices...
07:44.10morsingMmm... OBEX and coffee
07:45.18Leedsyou can certainly send things like vcards and image files back and forth over OBEX quite happily with arbitrary devices

07:46.42Leedshey clyphox!
07:46.53clyphox:)
07:46.53Copeclyphox: tony's away, so dave can play!
07:47.02clyphoxhow did ya know!?
07:47.06LeedsCope: by the way, what do you mean by infinite numbers of config files?
07:47.19shaiCope, well... i just like QT :)
07:47.23clyphoxyeah u gotta run outta inodes at some point ;)
07:47.50shaii like the support, i like the people that work on it and some have become my friends... so i just like using it. have been for three years now.
07:49.02shaiplus, QT is a fully featured mail server at the end of the install ... spam filtering, virus scannig, ssl support, web managment, imap, smtp, pop3 .. etc etc
07:49.43shaiwhich, sendmail, exim and postfix, alone, are not.
07:49.58Leedswhat does it used for pop/imap?
07:50.15CopeLeeds: you can have exim config in one file, or split into many; it is more usual these days to have them split into many; certainly its recommended under debian.
07:50.51SlayerXPi prefer the split config
07:51.01SlayerXPit makes dropping in new stuff easier
07:51.35Copeshai: that's a pretty un-unix way to think
07:51.46shaii know...
07:51.58Copeshai: heh, why not just use IIS; then you get a webserver and ftp server thrown in as well
07:52.03SlayerXPI keep meaning to submit my mailman config to the exim4 maintainer
07:52.19shaibut then again, i was just a couple of month into linux when i installed my first mail server (QT)
07:52.48clyphoxI thought QT was the kde ugliness
07:52.57shaiQmailToaster
07:53.16shaiwe do too, at work.
07:53.21clyphoxooh qmail :)
07:53.27shaiLeeds, courier imap
07:53.30Copeshai: you run sendmail on debian?
07:53.33SlayerXPexim makes the nomrla things easy and the hard things possible and maintainable
07:53.39clyphoxqmail rocks, DJB can be a bastard tho
07:53.40SlayerXPnormal
07:53.55SlayerXPqmail is unmaintained tosh, DJB is an idiot
07:54.01Copehear hear
07:54.14Leedsit's appallingly non-Unix
07:54.40shaiCope, is there a problem with using sendmail?
07:55.12SlayerXPthere's no problem with sendmail as such
07:55.22Copejust taht you'll get less suport from the debian community; and will have to rip out exim
07:55.30SlayerXPpeople just tend not to use it these days for muc ht e same reasons that trepanning isn't common either
07:55.32shaii'm not 100% sure of the mail server setup we have... but i'm pretty sure it is sendmail under a debian server...
07:55.47SlayerXPmuch the same reasons
07:56.33shaiwell... let Leeds tell you what he thinks of my CTO about these things...
07:56.48shaiwe don't even have an AV on our mail server...
07:56.53SlayerXPDear sendmail, we love you, you faithfully transported our mail for years.  Sadly, this is now the 21st century, and you're still living in the early 1990s."
07:57.02shaimy CTO likes doing things his own way ...
07:57.14Copei don't know the figures, but sendmail is still probably the most widely used, but not on new deployments
07:57.16shaii asked him the other day via email why we don't have an AV ...
07:57.35shaihe said in reply, "it is at lower priority"
07:57.41Copeand the "new" version of sendmail (x?) is basically just a reimplementation of postfix
07:58.03Copeso in 10 yrs, I suspect sendmail will be pretty uncommon
07:58.04LeedsCope: is it released and stable?
07:58.22CopeCope: I don't think it has a stable release yet
07:58.26CopeLeeds: you too
07:59.18CopeX-0.1.Beta1.0  is available for testing (2006-02-04).
07:59.55LeedsCope: talking to yourself again
08:00.06CopeCope: yes
08:00.34Coperight, i need breakfast
08:00.37Copeso does william
08:00.58clyphoxhmmm.. good thinking
08:02.54Leedsbought Diamonds Are Forever, A View To A Kill and Goldeneye the other day :-)
08:03.03morsingLeeds: Does coffee count?
08:04.16Leedsmorsing: of course - where do you think the term bean-counter comes from?
08:06.46SlayerXPi had lunch with pierce brosnan and lucy lui on the set of tommorow never dies
08:08.02Copehow did you fit them into your busy schedule? Did you give your PA a stern ticking off for not consulting you first?

08:43.21murbshai: fwiw i never had any problems getting l2tp working under linux.
08:43.31murbatleast when i was using it as a trnasferport over ipsec.
08:44.06shaii'm looking for a howto that will explain this to me ...
08:45.46murbhttp://www.funknet.org/doc/tunnel/l2tp.xml # however that only shows server side.
08:46.16murbi did have it working userside as well from linux using l2tpd though.
08:46.52Copewoo Tarragon
08:47.07CopeMiss mozrat rocks
08:47.33TarragonHi Cope
08:49.39TarragonAt work I am locked out of IRC. They even block pings out. Only have http through port 80 to get out :-(
08:51.00murbTarragon: so install net::irc or whatever iti s called.
08:51.12murbTarragon: do they permit https?
08:51.31TarragonTarragon runs away to find out what that is...
08:51.33murbif so just run a sshd on port 443 and use connect
08:51.38TarragonYes https is OK
08:51.46murbTarragon: then it should be trivial to get out
08:51.55murbis it via a microsoft proxy server?
08:52.02murbwhich requires authentication?
08:52.49TarragonI don't know. Yes for Auth through their proxy
08:53.35Copeibot change 40 gbp to eur
08:53.41murbTarragon: it might be possible to just use putty
08:53.49murbCope: a euro is about 70p if that helps
08:53.57murband 1/0.7 is about 1.4
08:54.09murbatleast that is what i tend to use
08:54.36TarragonPutty pings out are blocked.
08:54.50murbTarragon: i think putty supports http connect
08:55.04Copeibot change 2000 gbp to eur
08:55.24murbthe way a proxy handles https is via the connect method
08:55.46murbso CONNECT http://myserver.blah:443 HTTP/1.0
08:55.46shaimurb, well.. my ISP took care of the server side setup :)

10:11.33murbyou don't have an l2tpd package?
10:11.46shaii search yum and didn't find one...

10:18.03shaiyou still don't think that what I need is http://opensource.katalix.com/openl2tp/ ?
10:18.23shaiis there something smaller and better suited for what i need?
10:20.24murbyes just the normal l2tpd daemon as is in debian for instance
10:21.32shaioh, i thought the daemon is for the server side...
10:21.37murbno

11:45.36Leedsmorsing: it is here... I don't think it's right to bring it out to the list, out of any context
11:46.27morsingLeeds: I actually agree. Was he drunk? Does George read the list?
11:48.26morsingLeeds: So you recommend pssh then?

11:50.06mozratHi folks
11:50.46Leedsooh, official temp in HK hit 30 degrees today for the first time this year - and I was feeling grumpy, so I skipped the beach this afternoon
11:50.51Leedsevening mozrat
11:50.54morsingWhat's a PRC binary?
11:50.58morsingmozrat!
11:51.13mozrathi morsing, Leeds
11:51.35Leedsa prc is a palm resource file - in most cases, either a program or a plugin of some sort
11:52.13morsingIs that what I need then? Not zip or tgz?
11:52.21mozratI might have to ditch netvibes.com - my current RSS reader - they are beginning to suck
11:52.55Leedsprc is a regular binary...  you could also get a zip or tgz which will probably contain a prc file
11:53.00Leedsmozrat: I use bloglines...
11:53.55morsingLeeds: If I do 'pilot-xfer -i <file>' how do I tell it to go to the expansion card? Can it even?
11:54.05mozratLeeds: I might use Liferea and tie it in to Beagle
11:55.14mozratKudos to netvibes for support OPML export
11:55.21Leedsmorsing: -D maybe - if I want something to go on a card, I put it on a card...
11:56.02Leedsmozrat: my main issue is that I want something which works well on the treo when I'm out and about... I started writing a pygtk front-end for bloglines, to give it a desktop interface, but got stuck when I needed to actually do something with html
11:56.05morsingLeeds: How? Just copy the .prc to the card would work?

11:58.51morsingLeeds: How? Just copy the .prc to the card would work? morsing_ has joined but nothing I type get here?
11:59.11morsingLeeds: You didn't answer my question though
11:59.22Leedslast night I made space on my SD card while at the bun festival using filez, so my tall friend could video the bun run
11:59.30Leedsyou answer my question
11:59.48morsingWhat question?
12:00.07morsing_hello?
12:00.12Leedsdo you get a blank 'category' up in the launcher when you put a card in?
12:00.20morsing_hey , amazing
12:00.31morsingYes
12:01.11Leedsright - now if you look at the card you will see a directory \palm\launcher (possibly some case differences) - that directory shows up as though it was in the device's RAM
12:01.53Leedsso if you put a pdb or prc file in there, it will appear as though it was local - doesn't work in 100% of cases, but it's pretty good
12:02.34morsingBut I don't need to unpack the .prc file?!
12:03.06Leedsunpack?
12:03.20morsingYes, like tar xfz file.prc
12:03.31Leedsa prc file is not an archive
12:03.39morsingWhy doesn't the Treo have underscore anywhere?

12:18.26boudiccasyou might be pleasantly surprised
12:18.27Leedsbelieve me, I was doing DOC a long long time ago
12:18.38LeedsI did some hacking on a GPLed DOC reader
12:18.50boudiccasi like pdb
12:19.10Leedspdb is meaningless... that's like saying you like files containing 8-bit bytes
12:19.49Leedspdb just mean 'data file'
12:20.09boudiccasLeeds; and prc too, but that may be a bit too close to home for you :o)
12:20.44Leedsprc means something slightly different
12:21.00boudiccasPalm Data Base isn't it?
12:21.10Leedsalthough I haven't done much PalmOS hacking in a while, there was a time I knew a lot about the internal structures
12:21.15boudiccaspeoples republic of china :)
12:21.30Leedspdb means palm database, prc means mainland china and palm resource file
12:21.34rhowemorsing: Avoiding?
12:21.46rhoweLeeds: It's a conspiracy
12:21.49boudiccasjust wish that i'd got the special spanner/allen key to take the back off to chnage the battery on my old one
12:21.58Leedsthey both have essentially the same format - which is, of course, just a serialised format of an in-memory format
12:22.15Leedsthe differences are in the flags... there's an executable flag, and a resource flag
12:22.15boudiccasbbiam, cakes done
12:22.49Leedsif a non-resource file is executable, it means it wants a prc to run it - if a prc is executable, it's a program
12:22.51morsingLeeds: I just restored a directory with MP3 files to the device with the -r option
12:23.07morsingIt said files transferred but they're nowhere to be seen
12:23.08Leedsuh, what?
12:23.21Leedsyou cannot store arbitrary files in internal storage
12:23.36Leedsor, well, maybe you can, but you can't just shove them in there
12:23.49boudiccasmmm, a nice fruit loaf cooling ready for tea time :)

13:46.50eeeyorei wonder if they will ever sort it out
13:47.25eeeyorepressing the eject button should do the same thing as right clicking and eject under gnome
13:47.41mozrateeeyore: does on my thinkpad
13:48.01eeeyoremaybe it's just this old version of linux
13:48.12mozratit might be the CD-ROM drive not sending a standard signal on thebutton press
13:48.20mozratI heard that somewhere once
13:48.37eeeyoreheh, works under windows
13:48.45eeeyorecould be technically right of course
13:50.00eeeyorei'm switching a couple of machines over to linux at work you really notice all the flaws in the software running on linux
13:50.03eeeyorelike firefox
13:50.20eeeyoreis the firefox rendering always slow on linux i'm sure 1.5 is slower
13:50.44eeeyorenew tab and i can see the white flow down the screen on an a recently purchased Athlon
13:50.46mozratyeah, people who like Linux are too forgiving of it's flaws - normal users are a lot more harsh
13:51.03eeeyoresomewhere along the lines they lost some kind of graphics hardware acceleration
13:51.23eeeyorethat's the problem when you ignore all the existing accelerated libraries like kde and gnome
13:51.28eeeyoreand decide to write it all yourself
13:51.53eeeyorefirefox rendering is now noticeable slower than the rest of GTK/Gnome and much slower than windows
13:52.09eeeyorei find it quite annoying
13:52.30eeeyoreand a plugin to the IDE i use has a bug that causes it to suck 100% cpu on linux
13:52.59eeeyorei guess just more people need to use linux, so all these things get a higher priority
13:53.26mozrateeycatch 22 I'm afraid
13:53.32eeeyorethe performance bugs for linux are not marked as critical or blockers for the next version of firefox.
13:53.39eeeyorei spent 30mins looking at bugzilla
13:53.59eeeyoreand a lot of them are marked as "not bug"
13:54.29eeeyorewhich i understand as a developer as they are too vague, but you can be damn sure they'd be grouped into a metaperformance bug if they were on windows
13:56.48eeeyoreone performance bottleneck that affects dhtml performance (2% cpu on IE and 60% cpu usage on firefox) has been there since 2003 and is still open :)
13:57.05eeeyoreatleast that affect windows firefox users too :) hehe
13:57.11mozrat:)
13:59.46z00daxeeeyore: one point...
14:00.24z00daxfirefox for me is faster on linux for me, than my co-workers windows setup
14:00.30z00daxwe have near identical setup's
14:01.25eeeyorefaster loading
14:01.32eeeyorewhat annoys me is the GUI speed
14:01.38z00dax( not talking about specific test cases, where gecko render is more expensive - the dhtml thing you mentioned is known )
14:01.49z00daxits much faster on the GUI + Render for most things as well
14:01.56eeeyorethe GUi compared to gtk apps is slow
14:02.06eeeyoreand if you are start to do other stuff on the system and have many tabs open
14:02.11z00daxnot for me, if it is - i cant notice it
14:02.16eeeyoreon linux the gui starts to become unresponsive
14:02.24z00daxeeeyore: humm what sort of a machine are you using ?
14:02.26eeeyoreare you using 1.5?

14:03.52z00daxI am using a self hacked version of ati drivers, since they didnt know about xorg-7 or modular X a few weeks back
14:03.59eeeyorebother
14:04.07eeeyorethis may be part of the cause

14:04.22eeeyorei think whatever firefox is using an alternative is very slow
14:04.29z00daxgota be worth that :)
14:06.16z00daxtried seamonkey recently ?
14:06.52eeeyoreno
14:07.06eeeyoreis that using a later version of gecko than firefox 1.5 or the same?
14:07.27z00daxits a diff tree
14:07.43eeeyoreaccording to what i read the default ati drivers that come with fedora should have 2D accelleration
14:07.55eeeyoreunless firefox is using the 3d functions.
14:07.57eeeyorewhich is possible
14:08.00eeeyoregtk is very fast
14:08.01z00daxi run rawhide, so things tend to change real fast.
14:08.27z00daxhumm..
14:08.44eeeyoreis it easy to hack togethor an ati driver?
14:09.12z00daxjust use livna's mod- thl did a good job with those
14:09.25eeeyorei tried, i think livna may have been down
14:09.31eeeyorei might pop into the office tomorrow and try
14:09.33z00daxrpm.livna.org ?
14:09.36z00daxfsck...
14:09.49eeeyorei tried thursday
14:09.51eeeyorenot today
14:10.15z00daxhumm...
14:10.43eeeyoremy colleague is already using linux and seems capable of wilfully ignoring the fact that you can see a new tab render and his cpu is stuck at 100%
14:10.45z00daxok :) its working at the moment. I actually watch that machine in nagios and dont seem to have a downtime for 8 days now
14:11.06eeeyoremaybe i got an old address from google
14:11.46shaiz00dax shai: whats wrong with yum install l2tpd ?
14:11.48eeeyoreso if its working and i have the right address what yum command do i use to upgrade the ati drivers?
14:11.49shaiwhat did you mean?
14:11.56shaioops :)
14:12.08shaiz00dax your building as root ? on the server ? same machine that got rooted a few days back ????!!
14:12.16shaiwhat did you mean about that
14:12.26z00daxshai: rather than building it yourself and trying to breakthings, whhy not use the repository ? atleast you get an upgrade path that way
14:12.48shaiof course, that's what i did after you told me about the repo. that had it...
14:13.09eeeyoreare livna rebuilding the ati module to match each kernel update in fc5?
14:13.13z00daxits also usually a bad idea to be building apps while log'ed in as root, even worse when its a production machine, and the worst if its a machine that was rooted a few days back - since someone is watching it at the moment
14:13.42z00daxeeeyore: yes, they should be - they have hooks in the fedora buildsystem now ( non core, but they watch it close )
14:14.15eeeyoreok i will try again
14:14.17eeeyorei have hope
14:14.18shaifirst of all, this is on a test box. 2nd, i re-installed the rooted box the moment i found out it was rooted.
14:14.21z00daxsome might argue that having -devel stuff on a production machine is itself a bad idea
14:14.27shaiabout being root... well... bad habit.
14:14.50z00daxyou were going to makeinstall on the test machine and move the stuff to production, how ?
14:15.00eeeyorei had a P4 system with an Nvidia card and firefox 1.0 whilst slower than gtk apps and windows firefox it was a lot faster than fierfox1.5 on the athlon/ATI
14:15.54shaiz00dax, didn't say i was going to move it. i was just trying to make; make install; it ... but that didn't work, and after i found out that i can use the repo and get it via yum, all is good and i did just that.
14:16.09z00daxshai: cool. thats my repo btw
14:16.10eeeyorenext i just need to debug this faulty tomcat plugin that sucks all my CPU and I should be able to manage the linux switch :)
14:16.18shaiz00dax, oh?!
14:16.48shaiz00dax, like i said a few days ago ... you know your CentOS :)
14:17.30mozratshai: z00dax is Mr CentOS
14:17.30z00daxeeeyore: its old age
14:17.37mozratz00dax: You never sent me that DVD :(
14:17.42eeeyore:)
14:17.43shaianyways... i got that l2tpd install and am waiting for murb which had the config ready to be given to me... so i can setup an l2tp connection to my ISP ...
14:17.56z00daxmozrat: not ready yet :( I keep fixing the odd pkg to add to it
14:18.12mozratz00dax: ok - don't forget I'm happy to help when it is finished
14:18.15z00daxnow i am out of network ports - so till i can get a network link into the machine, i cant get it off :(
14:18.18mozrator rather my company is :)
14:18.23z00daxmozrat: cheers!
14:18.58mozratz00dax: All I ask in return is that the next CentOS is named "CentOS 4.x The Mozrat edition"
14:19.09z00daxlol
14:19.29eeeyorehow is centos doing?
14:19.40z00daxeeeyore: scary

14:51.31mozratEvolution sucks however
14:51.40mozratespecially on SUSE - completely broken
14:51.47eeeyorei used it for a while but the spam filter in thunderbird is quite good
14:52.04eeeyorealso thunderbird is crossplatform so i can use it on all the systems i use
14:53.27mozratEvolution  works on all of hte plaforms I want to use :)
14:53.30SlayerXPi don't get any spam for thunderbird to filter
14:53.47eeeyorei have a very old lineone account
14:53.49mozratis that because you are using this new innovative Spam service?

15:01.48boudiccaseeeyore; think of it as learning expereinces :o)))))))))
15:01.59eeeyoreARghhhhh!
15:02.03eeeyorewhere the hell is this database
15:03.34eeeyorethere must be a database hiding in the cat5
15:05.50eeeyoreah ha
15:05.57eeeyorei think i may have been mislead
15:06.45eeeyoreboudiccas: a learning experience in poorly documented finnish wiping software.
15:06.53eeeyoreone of those useful 'life skills'
15:11.03eeeyorerm -rf /tmp/*
15:11.05eeeyoreone more install
15:11.18eeeyoreand then i pretend the error hasn't happened and continue anyway
15:12.08mozrateeeyore: are you installing or building this software?
15:12.16eeeyorereinstalling
15:12.19eeeyoreagain and again
15:12.23eeeyorehoping for a clean install
15:12.29eeeyoreto try and reproduce a bug
15:12.48boudiccasmozrat; what software do you run your blog with please?
15:12.58eeeyoreeach time i reinstall the user database already has my username in it
15:12.58mozratboudiccas: serendipity s9y
15:13.02eeeyoreand i have no idea how it got it
15:13.02mozratwww.s9y.org
15:13.35mozrateeeyore: because the database files aren't gettingg replaced?
15:13.42eeeyoreyes
15:13.45eeeyoremy guess
15:13.48mozratboudiccas: it is good
15:14.00mozrateeeyore: in /var/lib somewhere?
15:14.28eeeyorei believe it is supposed to be entirely enclosed in one directory
15:14.40eeeyorewith it's own /var/lib
15:15.35boudiccasmozrat; it looks nice, but i don't like its requirements ... mysql/postgresql. I've never succeeded in setting up either such that i can use them usefully :o(
15:16.02boudiccasthats why i use one that uses plain text files, nanoblogger
15:16.29mozratboudiccas: I agree with you actually
15:17.32boudiccasi've never found someone to metaphorically hold my hand whilst i try to set it up, or a good howto for complete stupid utter noobs! :)
15:18.21mozratboudiccas: if you need a hand let me know
15:18.33mozratboudiccas:  do you host your blog on your own server?
15:19.22boudiccasmozrat; taste of linux is on 1&1, i've got my own domain there
15:19.56boudiccasbut it doesn't have mysql/postgresql available to me i think
15:20.08mozratyeah, thats what I was going to ask
15:21.14boudiccasbut i do need to get mysql running because i want to have a play with cacti
15:21.21boudiccason this box
15:21.29mozratoooh cacti
15:21.32mozratI loves cacti
15:21.36mozratit is v. cool
15:21.58boudiccasi've got it installed, but i haven't got the backend database sorted out and running yet
15:22.15mozratis MySQL running?
15:22.42boudiccasi think it all came to a stop at trying to import the cacti database. yes, mysql is running [i think]
15:22.59boudiccasyes it is
15:23.23mozratif you run 'show databases;' in mysql what do you have?
15:23.37mozratI dunno if you want to spend 5 minutes getting it working now?
15:24.21eeeyorei think i may have spotted the problem
15:24.32eeeyoredataintegrity error while unzipping the database
15:25.46boudiccasmozrat; cacti, information schema, mysql, & test
15:26.03mozratok - so you have a database already for cacti....
15:26.07boudiccasmozrat; gladly, any help accepted
15:26.22mozratrun 'use cacti;' and then 'show tables;'
15:26.33mozratno need to paste the tables here - but are there tables in the database?
15:27.04boudiccasno tables in it
15:27.08mozratok
15:27.37mozratI'm not sure which privileges are required for the cacti database user - I would give it all privileges so run the following command
15:27.51boudiccasyes ...
15:28.10mozratgrant all privileges on cacti.* to cactiuser@localhost identified by 'SOMEPASSWORD';
15:28.25boudiccasas root or sudo?
15:28.36mozratinside the MySQL interface where you are right now
15:28.51mozratit is a database command rather than a shell one
15:29.13boudiccashow do you get the mysql interface?
15:29.34boudiccasi used webmin to look into the database
15:29.39mozratahh
15:29.49mozratin the shell run mysql as root
15:29.52boudiccasbut i dont want to use webmin to set it up
15:30.41boudiccasQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.41 sec)
15:30.45mozratgood
15:31.07mozratso in /usr/share/doc/cacti I believe there is a .sql file?
15:31.30mozratmaybe you should run `rpm -ql cacti | grep sql` to get the location of it
15:32.17boudiccas/usr/share/doc/cacti-0.8.6h/cacti.sql
15:32.35mozratok - gimme one sec
15:32.46boudiccask, ty
15:33.48mozratcd /usr/share/doc/cacti-0.8.6h
15:33.55mozratmysql cacti < cacti.sql
15:34.00mozratumm -
15:34.03mozratyeah, exit MySQL first
15:34.05mozratand then do that :)
15:35.18boudiccask, done
15:35.21mozratcoolio
15:35.29mozratgo back into `mysql`
15:35.34mozratuse cacti;
15:35.36mozratshow tables;
15:36.31boudiccas48 rows in set (0.01 sec)
15:36.37mozratexcellent
15:36.57mozratso you need to tell cacti how to connect to MySQL
15:37.14boudiccasdont i have to restart mysql first?
15:37.16mozratrpm -ql cacti | grep config.php
15:37.22mozratboudiccas: nope, not really
15:37.48boudiccas/usr/share/cacti/include/config.php
15:38.04mozrat$database_default = "cacti";
15:38.08mozrat$database_default = "cacti";
15:38.13mozrat$database_hostname = "localhost";
15:38.24mozrat$database_username = "cactiuser";
15:38.33mozrat$database_password = "SOMEPASSWORD";
15:41.57boudiccas$database_type = "mysql";
15:41.57boudiccas$database_default = "cacti";
15:41.57boudiccas$database_hostname = "localhost";
15:41.57boudiccas$database_username = "cactiuser";
15:41.58boudiccas$database_password = "cacti";
15:42.00boudiccas$database_port = "3306";
15:42.02boudiccasin db.php
15:42.15mozratthat sounds like it
15:42.25mozratMaybe fedora package it slightly differently
15:42.47boudiccasthis is centos 4.3 :)
15:42.53mozratoh!
15:43.01mozratI blame z00dax then
15:43.10boudiccasthe only thing that i've changed is the password
15:43.16mozratok
15:43.25mozratdid you set up a cacti user yet?
15:43.35boudiccascan't remember
15:43.50mozratcron needs to run a little plugin every 5 minutes or so and it is best not to do so as root
15:43.54boudiccaslets set up 'cactiuser' anyway
15:44.01mozratcool
15:44.33mozratyou know that the cactiuser in the SQL config is just a line in a database.. there is no correlation to that one and then one you are creating now
15:44.57boudiccasso i could run it as 'boztu' [me] on my cron job then?
15:45.03mozratyep
15:45.21boudiccaswhat line do i put in the cron jobbie thingie then please?
15:45.27mozratboztu needs to be able to write to 2 directories
15:45.37mozratthe `rra` and `log` directory
15:45.49mozratI'm not sure where CentOS will have put them
15:46.14mozratmaybe /var/www ?
15:46.52boudiccasboth of them have their owner set to 'cacti'
15:47.08mozratahh - the installer may have created that user for you
15:47.12mozratok - no worries
15:47.29mozratand in fact - should also have sorted out the cron as well
15:47.41mozratrpm -ql cacti | grep cron
15:47.53boudiccasnot in /var/www
15:48.14boudiccas/etc/cron.d/cacti
15:48.18mozratcool
15:48.23mozratI think you may be all set
15:48.38mozratwhat happens in the web interface?
15:49.26boudiccasdo i have to open that port for it to be seen?
15:49.56boudiccasin the firewall?
15:50.03mozratno - the web interface is probably on http://localhost/cacti
15:50.11boudiccas[told you i was a noob!]
15:50.37mozratthe 3306 port is the SQL server and the cacti is talking to that on the local internal network - no firewall thingie required
15:50.52boudiccasYou don't have permission to access /cacti on this server
15:51.20boudiccas:o(
15:51.46mozratrpm -ql cacti | grep http
15:52.00mozratthere should be a httpd include file for it
15:52.26boudiccas/etc/httpd/conf.d/cacti.conf
15:52.39mozrattry and restart httpd
15:52.46mozratmight just need to read in that file
15:54.25boudiccasexactly the same message
15:54.41boudiccasAlias /cacti    /usr/share/cacti
15:54.41boudiccas<Directory /usr/share/cacti/>
15:54.42boudiccasOrder Deny,Allow
15:54.42boudiccasDeny from all
15:54.42boudiccasAllow from 127.0.0.1
15:54.42boudiccas</Directory>
15:54.56mozratare you trying it from the CentOS machine itself?
15:55.01mozrator another machine?
15:55.33boudiccasthis machine,but i substituted 127.0.0.1 for localhost and we're getting somewhere now
15:57.32mozratyou have a nice web interface now?
15:57.37boudiccasits aksing me for the user name and password. is that the same ones as i used for the database?
15:57.42boudiccas*asking
15:57.49mozratno, it's "admin" and I think "admin"
15:58.45boudiccaswoohoo, a spiffing interface. thank you very much mozrat :)
15:58.53mozratmore than welcome :)
15:58.56mozratglad it works :)
15:58.59wethrinRAAAAAR
15:59.03mozratWhat are you going to monitor?
16:00.01boudiccasdunno yet, don't know whats available
16:00.22mozratyour local machine or other machines?
16:00.56boudiccasthis one and only machine atm
16:01.03mozratCool
16:01.05boudiccasgot to build other machines first
16:01.27mozratyou need to get snmp working on the remote machines when you get to that stage
16:02.01mozratthe "s" stands for "Simple" so obviously you'll be fine :-$
16:02.15mozratwhy do all protocols with the word "simple" in the name turn out to be not so simple
16:02.22boudiccass for sharon :)
16:02.26mozrat:)
16:03.32boudiccaslooks like i need to leave it for a while to get the graphs populated

16:44.37morsingmozrat: You pasted 4 times!
16:44.45morsingWow
16:44.48morsing:)
16:44.52morsingFlashback
16:57.10mozratwhere have you two been for the past hour? :)
16:57.57shaihi
16:58.07mozrathihi
16:58.15mozratshai: do you have a website/blog?
16:58.28morsingTwo?
16:58.32shaiwhat dose this mean: find . -name *backup.tar.gz | xargs /bin/rm 2>/dev/null ; in terms of the last rm command?
16:58.37shaimozrat, sure :)
16:58.39morsingI've been fixing cars :)
16:58.41shaiwhy
16:58.54morsingGone from 0 to 2 driveable cars in 7 hourzx
16:58.59morsings/hourzx/hours
16:59.09mozratshai it means find all files that end in the name "backup.tar.gz" and delete them, discarding any STDERR messages
16:59.12wethrinyay
16:59.23mozratthat * should really be quoted
16:59.32shaimozrat, ok... can you explain the last part ?
16:59.47morsingshai: Starting from where?
16:59.50mozrat2>/dev/null redirects any error messages to /dev/null
16:59.57shai...discarding any STDERR messages
17:00.00mozratso you don't see them in logs or on your screen
17:00.07shaiwhy the 2 ?
17:00.29mozratyour bash shell has 3 "file handles"
17:00.34mozrat0 = STDIN
17:00.37mozrat1 = STDOUT
17:00.42mozrat2 = STDERR
17:00.50mozratso 2> redirects error messages into a file
17:00.54mozratin this case /dev/null
17:02.08shaithen what would have been the diff if i had 1 there instead of 2 ?
17:02.24shaimozrat, you asked me about a site/blog, i replied.
17:02.46mozratyou don't normally see 1> as you can simply use >
17:03.13mozratso `find -name "*backup.tar.gz" > /tmp/filename.txt` would redirect STDOUT
17:03.14shairight ... so either way... i don't need 1 nor 2
17:03.25mozratI guess `find -name "*backup.tar.gz" 1> /tmp/filename.txt`
17:03.28mozratwould do the same
17:03.34mozratbut I've never tried it tbh
17:03.38mozratshai: url me?
17:03.48mozratshai: just out of idle interest
17:03.53shaisure :)

17:05.57mozratI do, nice design
17:06.30shaiwell.. it's a wiki with a theme.. but i've modified the theme to be like i want it :)
17:07.20mozratalthough FYI - hovering over your 80x15 links makes the google ads part start to flicker
17:07.23mozrathave you noticed that?
17:07.55shaidon't notice that now either....
17:07.59shaiwhat do you mean exactly?
17:08.12shaioh .. the small icon links on the left?
17:08.27*** join/#gllug zx80user (n=adrian@81-1-79-245.homechoice.co.uk)
17:08.28shaisorry, i use firefox on windows and i don't see that...
17:09.00mozratwhen I hover above the small link images I get a blue flicker
17:09.01shainor do i see this on internet explorer
17:09.09shaiodd ...
17:09.12shaiwhat browser?
17:09.13mozrathard to describe but the Google Ads box is jumping up
17:09.19mozratfirefox on Linux
17:09.28mozrat1.0.7
17:09.32mozratdon't worry about it
17:09.39mozratI was just wondering if you had noticed
17:09.43shaiwell... i guess i can't say that I can know what to do about that....
17:09.47shaididn't .. not.
17:09.55shaiif i had, i would have fixed it...
17:10.00mozratin fact I can tell you exactly what it is
17:10.05shaimy best guess is that i can't please them all :P
17:10.11shaiyou can?
17:10.13shaido tel
17:10.18mozratyou know how on mouse rollover you brighten the 80x15 images?
17:10.24shaiyes.
17:10.29mozratthat mouse rolloff event is causing it
17:10.37shaioh
17:10.43shaiand you think you know how i can fix this?
17:10.46mozratno, both rollon and rolloff do it
17:10.48mozratOh no.
17:10.53mozratI have no idea how to fix it :)
17:10.57shailol
17:10.59shaik
17:11.21mozratbut it isn't a random flicker - the mouse events cause it
17:11.26mozratI wouldn't worry about it

21:02.53mozratmorsing: I only read one email on your thread on the mailinglist
21:03.16mozratyou know that Postfix runs chrooted in /var/somewhere/postfix
21:03.20mozratand the sasl file is in there
21:04.34morsingmozrat: Yes but why does main.cf have a reference to some random passwd.db?
21:04.53mozratwhat is the reference?
21:05.35morsingsmtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass
21:05.50mozratI think the /etc/ it is referencing is a chrooted one in var somewhere
21:05.59mozratrun `find /var -type d etc`
21:06.03mozratumm
21:06.04mozratno
21:06.12mozrat`find /var/ -type d -name etc
21:08.44morsingmozrat: I can't see why it would be. All the other DBs are in /etc/postfix/
21:09.21mozratI know - I lost a nights sleep over it about a year ago
21:09.27mozratcheck it!
21:11.50morsingmozrat: The odd thing is that I got it to stop moaning about the Invalid value bu replacing postfix-tls with postfix
21:12.16morsingHowever, EHLO doesn't return 250-AUTH
21:12.39mozratI dunno about that so much
21:14.58mozratmorsing: do you have that dir in /var ?
21:15.48mozrat<PROTECTED>
21:19.02mozratibot kick morsing
21:19.04ibotbugger off sod!
21:21.47morsingmozrat: Yes
21:22.40mozratI think your SASL passwd db needs to go in there
21:23.11morsingI've put it there now
21:23.21morsingDo I need postfix-tls to do this?
21:23.43morsingPostfix doesn't seem to know what authentication is
21:23.47mozratwell - define "need"
21:24.03mozratyou don't need TLS but the password will be sent in a decryptable format if not
21:24.19mozratDon't tell anyone but I'm not running TLS on mine
21:24.35morsingmozrat: It doesn't work. The basic Postfix doesn't have a clue what login and passwords are!
21:24.40mozratand you are right, Postfix hands off the authentication to SASL which is why it is a pain in the ass!
21:24.51mozratmorsing: are you trying to use /etc/passwd users?
21:25.05morsingmozrat: I'm not trying anything

21:25.33mozratoh
21:25.52mozrat<PROTECTED>
21:26.00morsingI think the Postfix .deb is compiled without smtp-auth
21:26.06stephenmorsing: is this Debian? you need postfix-tls for SASL
21:26.10morsingmozrat: Done, and it doesn't complain
21:26.36morsingstephen: Ahh... That's what I thought but with postfix-tls it can't read hash databses
21:26.38mozrat<PROTECTED>
21:26.47mozratstephen appears to be correct
21:26.57morsingIf I install that everything else breaks!
21:27.59stephenI was using postfix-tls with LDAP and SASL, and that seemed to work fine
21:28.14morsingYup... Broken
21:28.38mozratmorsing: have you tried turning on verbose logging in master.cf ?
21:28.39morsingstephen: *And* you used files like alieses, relay_domains, etc.
21:29.35morsingmozrat: Be more specific please?
21:30.06mozratin master.cf you can change the line for smtpd and add the -v switch
21:30.11mozratthis turns on verbose loggiing
21:30.13mozratone sec
21:30.33mozratsmtp      inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd -v
21:30.35stephenI had a problem with getting postfix to talk to saslauthd, had to move /var/run/saslauthd to /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd and create a symlink iirc
21:30.36mozratin master.cf
21:30.45stephenplus postfix had to be added to the 'sasl' group
21:31.02morsingThe DB error is back though:
21:31.03morsingMay  6 22:30:26 emil postfix/smtpd[19447]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/relay_domains.db: Invalid argument
21:31.32mozratwhich line in main.cf references that file?
21:32.50morsingmozrat: This one but you have to understand that it does that for *all* .db files:
21:32.53morsingrelay_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/relay_domains
21:33.13mozrathmmm
21:33.27morsingI also constantly get these two errors:
21:33.28morsingMay  6 22:32:29 emil postfix/master[19441]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtp pid 19478 exit status 1

21:34.28morsingIf you telnet to port 25 it just hangs...
21:34.51mozratthat last one is the big problem
21:35.02mozratthrottling == just won't work
21:36.36mozratturn on verbose logging and see if it tells you which parameter is bad
21:37.18morsingTHe last error before that is the relay_domains one
21:37.34morsingDoesn't postfix-tls have hash DB support?
21:38.08mozratmust do
21:38.55morsing*sigh* I don't know what to do...
21:39.16mozratwhich version of postfix-tls are you using?
21:39.53morsing2.1.5-9
21:39.59mozratsame with me
21:40.34morsingAhh... In mail.info:

21:40.44morsingThat's it then...
21:40.49morsingBut why?
21:40.53mozratwhat is it?
21:41.04morsingJust before the error
21:41.13morsingIt really can't read hash DBs
21:41.20morsingBut why not?!
21:42.16boudiccasmozrat; are you an emacs user? Have I asked you this question before? I think you said that you were a vim user, am I right?
21:43.07mozratboudiccas: I'll answer you with a URL http://beerandspeech.org/uploads/200602/viman.gif
21:43.41boudiccasah, that! saw it last time, and then i asked you about your blog software :o) I remember now :)
21:43.47mozrat:D
21:44.12mozratboudiccas: should I be using emacs? I've never really tried it
21:45.09boudiccasits very good, with planner and muse, and gnus for email [not that Iuse gnus] and irssi for irc
21:45.37mozratmorsing: have you tried "postalias -q" on these files? Are you sure it doesn't support hash??
21:46.02boudiccasI use it mostly for running a shell monitoring various background processes, and for running a text-based planner
21:46.07mozratI've heard Emacs is a very capable application but it lacks a decent text editor? Is that a fair comment? :P

21:47.02boudiccasmozrat; should i be getting graphs appearing in cacti now? all i seem to be getting is blue oblongs

21:51.30mozratmorsing: can you run the `newaliases` command pls
21:51.40morsingmozrat: Are you saying that Postfix isn't chrooted but Postfix-tls is?
21:51.40mozratI don't remember my password and can't sudo myself
21:51.47morsingDoen
21:51.49morsingDone
21:52.24mozratI dunno - whether it is chrooted or not is specified in master.cf - We'd have to compare both versions
21:52.40mozratI think only certain processes within postfix are chrooted in either version
21:53.58mozratmorsing: I'm looking at the output of `/usr/sbin/postalias -vvv -q bin hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
