08:22.00antiphasePut /bin/passwd in their .bash_profile ;)

09:26.44pawelI've got the special devices here
09:27.04pawelwe have discovered radio receivers
09:30.38Ch0HagDANGER DANGER
09:30.52Ch0HagBinaries in /usr unowned by a debian package.
09:31.23pawelwicked, it won't even load
09:33.16pawelit could be quite funny to see every single package compiled with a special version of gcc and signature, so that debian's version of kernel or glibc wouldn't allow you to use anything else
10:10.03bilarhhmm
10:11.57morsingbilarh!
10:12.17bilarhmy san array is feeling poorly :(
10:12.37bilarhone of the volumes is using it's hot spare
10:12.47bilarhbut the supposed fail drive is still fine, according to the manager
10:12.50bilarhand there's no fault light
10:13.25halii bet someone replaced the drive and forgot to do a buldback
10:13.28halibuildback*
10:13.44haliit's just a flick about in santricity
10:13.56hali(if it was in those lsi boxes you mentioned)
10:14.00bilarhyep
10:16.49bilarhhmm
10:16.59bilarhmy event log says "drive failed by controller"
10:17.05bilarhand then "drive failed - write failure"
10:18.32bilarhbut it's not "fault lighted"
10:19.36haliyou could try to online the drive and see if it kicks it out again
10:22.53bilarhbut it's not offline :)
10:22.59bilarhmaybe i should fail it instead
10:23.08bilarhi think i'll wait until tomorrow night, though

12:43.15wethrinsorry
12:44.37dick_turpinwethrin: Crap, I just knew this new pidgin install was rubbish
12:45.00wethrinha
12:45.57dick_turpinwethrin: Do us a favour do a message to me, I wanna see if the stupid thing flashes
12:46.29boudiccasisn't flashing illegal?
12:46.55dick_turpinboudiccas: You seemed to enjoy it :-P
12:46.55morsingWahey
12:47.10morsingBruce is a genius
12:47.15morsingI AM FREE
12:47.25boudiccasi was just passing a irreverent comment :)
12:47.46boudiccaswho is bruce and why is he a genius?
12:48.09wethrindick_turpin: A message like this?
12:48.10boudiccasi prefer kopete to gaim/pidgin
12:48.47dick_turpinwethrin: Do it again I need to minimise the stupid Fing %&*£ thing
12:49.58bilarhman what a miserable day it is
12:50.09wethrindick_turpin: What, this, or private?
12:51.11dick_turpinwethrin: Groan well that half worked cheers for that
12:51.18wethrinokay
12:51.51dick_turpinwethrin: When minimised the widow should flash
12:52.06wethrinahh
12:52.10wethrindoes it?
12:52.11dick_turpinwethrin: But oh no the icon just changes colour
12:52.15wethrinhum
12:52.28bilarhchanging colours should be good enough for everyone
12:52.39bilarhaha, les frogs have vacated the kitchen
12:52.42dick_turpinwethrin: Its me own fault should have stuck with the one I made
12:52.47wethrinaye
12:53.50dick_turpinboudiccas: You cheeky little minx I'm always working
12:55.17boudiccasyou were slow to pick up on it though, you must've been busy
12:55.46morsingWhy can't I get my apache-ssl running?
12:55.55morsingwethrin: Can you have a look please?
12:56.09morsingwethrin!
12:56.18boudiccaslets start with the basics. morsing is th emachine plugged in and swicthed on?
12:56.20SlayerXPmorsing: you shouldn't be using apache-ssl.  you should be running apache2 with modssl
12:56.31dick_turpinboudiccas: rolf
12:56.36boudiccaseh up, thats too technical for me :(
12:56.40wethrinmorsing: It's behind you!
12:57.19boudiccasdick_turpin; rolf ?? you mean 'rofl' ??
12:57.26wethrinhe could have a laughing floor
12:57.42boudiccasyes, its possible i suppose
12:58.09boudiccascrivens its cold today
12:58.14dick_turpinboudiccas: Look don't you start! bloody spell checker borked, colour at my end is awful, and someone has nicked me copy of Readers Wifes
12:58.20dick_turpinWives
12:59.12boudiccasget some new crayons then to improve the colour, hide your copy of readers wives better, and thats all i can help you with
12:59.44wethrinmorsing: You're using an HTTP connect thingy to do your tunnelling?
13:00.53dick_turpinboudiccas: Its OK I found it mind you I wonder why someone took it in the loo?
13:01.14boudiccasa quiet reading place :)
13:01.23bilarhdick_turpin: i saw boudiccas run off with it earlier
13:01.48bilarhoh that worked so much better than i intended after you posted the last two lines
13:01.58dick_turpinboudiccas: They must have dropped it in the sink, a couple of pages seem stuck together
13:01.59boudiccasand i plead not guilty
13:02.04boudiccaslol
13:06.43morsingboudiccas: Well I'm here
13:06.47morsingSlayerXP: It doesn't work
13:07.09dick_turpinbilarh: Hows the coffee
13:07.24morsingwethrin: Don't know  - I don't understand it. Ask Bruce

13:08.59wethrinI suspect you've already got something listening on port 443

13:10.19bilarhdick_turpin: it's good thanks, but I think the milk's a bit off
13:10.42wethrinmorsing: What's my username, then?
13:10.52morsingwethrin
13:10.56wethrinahh
13:10.58bilarhi dug some trenches around it to protect it
13:11.06bilarhthe machine, that is, not the coffee
13:11.19bilarhor the milk
13:11.28dick_turpinbilarh: I'm not happy I just had to make me own all the minions are out
13:12.03wethrinmorsing: what's my password?
13:12.07bilarhit's hard working with french people you know
13:12.19bilarhi just want to run around and shout about la resistance all the time
13:12.28bilarhbut i think that might get me fired
13:12.42bilarhunfortunately i haven't identified any germans to pit against the french yet
13:13.02morsingwethrin: Don't know - you have a key there
13:13.14wethrinUm. do I?
13:13.22morsingNo wait - you don't
13:13.22dick_turpinbilarh: Just ask them about Marshall Petain that'll win you some freinds
13:13.29morsingwethrin: Email it to me
13:14.01wethrinWhat address?
13:14.01dick_turpinwethrin: Post it here :-)
13:14.07wethrindick_turpin: I could do
13:14.17wethrinBut people might object about the noise
13:14.31dick_turpinwethrin: Promise I wont use it ;-)
13:14.46wethrindick_turpin: Don't mind if you do
13:14.48wethrinIt's my public key
13:15.01bilarhoh, how unlucky is it to have a surname that is converted to 'whore' by changing one letter? :D
13:15.05wethrinSo the worst you could do is give me access to an sshable system
13:15.07dick_turpinwethrin: Well thats not much use is it
13:15.14wethrinSure it is
13:15.32morsingwethrin: PM me it or my email address? (Which I assume you know...)
13:16.07wethrinmorsing: Yeah, just looked it up from a mailing list post
13:16.10wethrinAnyway, I sent it
13:16.33wethrinAh, you've greylisted me
13:17.07wethrinSo it'll retry in time
13:19.11morsingwethrin: Huh? So you don't have my email address?
13:19.34morsingwethrin: You're very observant... You constantly monitoring your logs?
13:20.35wethrinwell, you implied you hadn't received it, so I checked my logs
13:21.30niv_one_threedoes anyone uses hylafax here?
13:24.51morsingwethrin: Try now
13:25.01morsingniv_one_three: In the '70s yes...
13:25.23niv_one_threeoh ya - any way to get rss feeds here, I mean in to my irc client?
13:26.07wethrinmorsing: No...
13:26.16morsingniv_one_three: Try cat /unix?
13:26.20morsingwethrin: Why not
13:26.32wethrinmorsing: Asks me for a password
13:26.41wethrinDid you put it in to ~wethrin/.ssh/authorized_keys ?
13:27.24morsingYes
13:27.35morsingWhat do you get?
13:27.39wethrinPassword:
13:27.39morsingWhat's your IP?
13:28.00wethrin195.10.223.77
13:28.09morsingTry now
13:28.15wethrinNo
13:28.53murbwethrin: maybe he put it in ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys :-)
13:29.33antiphaseIf StrictModes is Yes it may need the correct ownership and permission bits
13:29.36wethrinmmm :)
13:29.49morsing.ssh is 755 and autho... is 600
13:29.57murbantiphase: does strictmodes work if it is all owned by root?
13:30.05wethrin.ssh should be 700
13:30.06antiphaseI don't believe so
13:30.06murbmorsing: try making the .ssh 700
13:30.23wethrinmy authorized_keys is 644
13:30.40murbmy ~/.ssh is 755
13:30.44murb<PROTECTED>
13:33.46wethrindoes Debian do weird things to its ssh?
13:34.57dick_turpinwethrin: Can I ask a silly question? can you login with just a user name and password (not your key)
13:35.27wethrindick_turpin: I don't know the password
13:35.37murbwethrin: irc does if you pasted it.
13:35.50dick_turpinwethrin: Ah
13:36.24dick_turpinwethrin: And I take it you've disabled root login like a good boy?
13:36.36murbleaving root login is useful
13:36.38murbfor things like backups
13:36.44murband being able to do stuff as root
13:36.57murbas some times only root is permitted to login.
13:37.10murbif say nologin is set
13:37.30wethrindick_turpin: NFI. I'm not sshing to my own box
13:37.36wethrinI'm trying to connect to morsings
13:37.43dick_turpinmurb: You may well know more than me but I always disallow root login you can always su - root
13:38.03wethrinPlus that's what serial consoles are for
13:38.33murbwethrin: well it gets set on shutdown and if you are unlucky can remain on restart.
13:39.07murbdick_turpin: well it is always useful to have a plan b
13:39.14murbpermitting root logins is such a plan b
13:39.19murbi also like automated backups
13:39.28murb'cos i'm too lazy to do them manually.
13:39.58wethrinI think root might be permitted to login to hades
13:40.24wethrinhm. morsing's gone. I presume this means he's fixed his apache/ssl problem
13:40.31murbdick_turpin: you might not have added users to wheel yet.
13:40.42dick_turpinwethrin: who was you trying to log into?
13:40.43wethrinLinux doesn't use wheel, does it?
13:40.50wethrinAs RMS doesn't believe in it
13:40.54murbI like PermitRootLogin without-password
13:41.05murbwethrin: I don't believe in RMS.
13:41.14wethrinNo, he's becoming increasingly irrelevant
13:41.17murbwethrin: i wonder what he thinks about SELinux.
13:41.21murbactually i don't.
13:41.27wethrinas Linux makes more and more inroads into the real world
13:41.39wethrinSELinux is more annoying than is worth dealing with
13:41.55dick_turpinwethrin: I hate it I always disable it
13:43.33wethrinI wonder if I've got W^X turned on in O'BSD
13:45.36dick_turpinwethrin: I can ssh to the IP you gave but then I suppose you can too
13:45.52wethrinwhich? I gave the IP for my own box
13:45.56wethrinI can ssh to that
13:46.05murbso can i probably if i can find my key.
13:46.07wethrinand it works with key-based auth
13:46.23dick_turpinwethrin: Oops I'll get me coat
13:46.24wethrinmurb: Yes, although the IP address has changed since you last logged in
13:46.47wethrindick_turpin: morsing's machine gets me a Password: prompt when trying to log in
13:47.25dick_turpinwethrin: So can morsing do reverse tunneling to you?
13:47.31wethrinno idea
13:47.40wethrinHe doesn't have an account on hades
13:48.07dick_turpinwethrin: mozrat did that for me a year or so ago
13:48.59wethrinhm
13:49.08wethrinI think it's just a permissions problem that needs to be fixed
13:49.20wethrinAnd if that doesn't work, then I'm going to blame Debian for playing silly buggers
13:49.41murbwethrin: has hades run out of randomness?
13:49.54dick_turpinwethrin: Fair enough I was just trying to help but making a mess of it as usual
13:50.34wethrinmurb: nah - there's enough random people using it..
13:50.39wethrindick_turpin: s'ok
13:51.38murbwethrin: well it hangs for me on SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent
13:53.11wethrinmurb: trying to log in to hades?
13:53.24murbyep
13:53.28murband waiting
13:53.29antiphaseYou need the debug output from the server to work out anything meaningful
13:53.30murband waiting
13:54.05wethrinhmm...rDNS?
13:54.12wethrinno, you have some
13:54.37wethrinit gives a timeout before authentication in /var/log/authlog
13:56.00murbsame fun with v6.
13:56.14murbi thought it might be mtu related due to home being behind pppoe
13:58.09wethrinare you not mtu-frobbing?
14:00.41morsingwethrin: Try again
14:01.06wethrinStill asks for password
14:01.13wethrinCan you just reset my password?
14:01.16morsingwethrin: You nutter
14:01.20morsingI can...
14:01.24wethrink
14:01.27murbwethrin: i guess my adsl router is.
14:01.40morsingpasswd: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.
14:01.40morsingpasswd: password unchanged
14:01.50wethrinmorsing: Am I not in your /etc/passwd ?
14:01.52morsingI have a feling there's something wrong with your account ;-)
14:01.58wethrinit seems so
14:02.06wethrinmurb: Wonder why you're having trouble, then
14:03.07murbwell after the ssh version exchange everything stops
14:03.11murbso it isn't related to my username
14:03.20murbthat is why it hought it might be hades lacking entropy or something.
14:03.44wethrinno - I think it falls back to pseudo-random generation if there's not enough real entropy
14:03.53wethrinOften it's DNS troubles that cause things to hang
14:05.05wethrinfah
14:05.45morsingwethrin: Try now
14:05.54wethrinstill asks me for a password
14:06.14morsingPasswd is my favourite member of your family but with a 0 (zero)
14:06.20morsingPlease change it
14:06.46morsingWhat dog?
14:07.15wethrinmorsing: Oi - authorized_keys has wrong ownerships
14:07.19wethrinThat might be why it didn't work
14:07.21morsingDoes it?
14:07.29wethrinYes
14:07.30morsingHave you changed your password?
14:07.32wethrinYes
14:07.35morsingThanks
14:07.36wethrinIt's owned by root.root
14:07.39morsingKeys work then?
14:07.42wethrinNo
14:07.49wethrinYou need to change the ownership
14:07.51morsingwethrin: Ahh.... I only changed permissions then ;-)
14:07.54wethrinyeah
14:08.15wethrinchange group ownership to users (.ssh, and .ssh/*), and user to wethrin (.ssh/*)
14:08.16morsingDone
14:08.31wethrinRight. That works.
14:08.35wethrinNow I don't need a password
14:08.46morsingCool - so back to the original problem...
14:10.01wethrinanyway. You've got something listening on port 443

16:17.21goibhniuhmm ... looks spicy, thanks
16:20.39goibhniuit's a pity ogg123 doesn't do it though
16:24.52z00daxmoc is quite cool, will do loads
16:25.26goibhniuhmm .. it doesn't do anything when I add the url
16:26.47z00daxi can stream music fine, perhaps you need to look at the docs ?
16:26.57z00daxalso, you might need a suiteable decoder for the stream type
16:27.35goibhniuit flashes up "connecting ..."
16:27.40goibhniuand then does nothing
16:28.36goibhniulooks interesting alright, I'll read up about it later
16:29.37z00daxmaybe just use mplayer for now then :)
16:32.23goibhniuthat doesn't seem to do it from the command line either
16:32.41goibhniurealplayer works ... poorly

17:14.05morsingCan someone help with this weird apache-ssl problem please?
17:14.28morsing:(
17:14.32morsingz00dax?
17:15.14murbmorsing: any reason you are using apache-ssl rather than normal apache and mod_ssl?
17:15.40morsingmurb: Yes - it works
17:15.54morsingAnd as usual with you - THAT'S NOT MY QUESTION!
17:16.12murbmorsing: otoh you are not getting it to work.
17:16.20morsingibot otoh
17:16.20ibotfrom memory, otoh is On The Other Hand.  It's YAFA.
17:16.31murbon the other hand.
17:16.31morsingmurb: But that's not apache's fault
17:16.42murbno.
17:16.48murbwhat is the problem?
17:16.51morsingSo wouldn't make a difference
17:17.28morsing[Tue Aug 21 18:12:10 2007] /usr/lib/apache-ssl/gcache started
17:17.28morsing[Tue Aug 21 18:12:10 2007] [crit] (99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address 192.10.223.76 port 443
17:18.46morsingWhat's gcache?
17:18.50morsingibot gcache
17:18.51ibotGeneric cache class for Python. URL: ftp://minkirri.apana.org.au/pub/python/GCache-0.1.tar.bz2
17:19.15morsingDoesn't make much sense
17:19.42murbmorsing: sessino cache
17:19.54murbis that the correct IP address?
17:20.16morsingFor what? It's the correct one it's trying to allocate yes
17:20.24morsingAs specified in the config file
17:20.26murbhmm does nc -vlp 443 work?
17:20.33murbas root?
17:21.18morsingWhat's root?
17:21.51morsingemil:/etc/init.d# nc -vlp 443
17:21.51morsingretrying local 0.0.0.0:443 : Address already in use
17:22.05murbok seems you already have something using that address
17:22.12murbthat is why the bind() is failling.
17:22.34morsingWell, yes, that would be what the apache log indicated...
17:22.43morsingSo how do I find out what?
17:22.48murbif you have fuser installed try fuser -vv -n tcp 443
17:23.02murbor also as root netstat -alnp | grep 443
17:23.14morsingemil:/etc/init.d# fuser -vv -n tcp 443
17:23.14morsingUSER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
17:23.14morsing443/tcp:             root      14921 F.... sshd
17:23.17morsingFFS!
17:23.35murbmorsing: you can get a proxy that will do SSL and SSH on the same port.
17:23.55murbor if you have more than one ip address tell ssh to listen to a specific ip.
17:24.10morsingHang on, there no IP address in that listing?
17:24.57morsingemil:/etc/init.d# netstat -alnp | grep 443
17:24.57morsingtcp        0      0 195.10.223.97:443       0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     15671/sshd
17:25.04morsingNo that's not it...
17:25.09morsingI don't get it...
17:25.18murb0.0.0.0 means it is listening on everything.
17:25.45morsingYes - aa is should but it's only *binding* to 195.10.223.97
17:25.49murbmorsing: 19*2*.10.223.76
17:25.55morsing?

17:27.11morsingI owe you a beer
17:48.08murbanyone seen formi recently?
17:49.34morsing~seen formi
17:49.39ibotformi <n=formi@82-35-199-219.cable.ubr01.camd.blueyonder.co.uk> was last seen on IRC in channel #gllug, 193d 3h 50m 34s ago, saying: 'those cars are usually driven by twats'.
17:51.37morsingSo no...
17:54.08morsingOk can someone figure out which of the following I need:
17:54.09morsinghttp://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/applying/nationality/formsandguidance/
17:55.24murbmorsing: you want a british passport?
17:55.46morsingErmm... Yes? Has that been unclear over the four years we've known each other?
17:55.58morsingIt's the reason I came here
17:56.12murbyou probably want http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/6353/11406/anform2007.pdf
17:56.30murb"naturalisation as a British citizen"
17:56.44morsingNope - My parents aren't biriths
17:56.46cpufreakwethrin: about?
17:56.46morsingBritis
17:56.48morsingh
17:57.02murbunless you've ever been a british citzen before.
17:57.11murbmorsing: naturalisation mean becoming by living in .uk
17:57.11morsingI think it's "T"
17:58.11murbmorsing: that is for people born in the uk
17:58.23murbregistration means you were entitled to it anyway.
17:58.31morsingNo - that's if your parents are foreign but you were born here
17:58.48murbouch they charge 655
17:58.57murbmorsing: yes, after 1983
17:59.31morsingI can't figure out which one still :(
18:00.08murbmorsing: btw it is harder if you are an EEA citizen.
18:00.26murbasbefore i think 2002 you had to apply for indefinate leave to remain before you can start counting years
18:00.29murbi think that might have changed.
18:01.09morsingThat has changed...
18:01.14morsingI've always had that
18:01.38murbmorsing: you have to apply for it, but the problem is you don't need it if you are an EEA citizen.
18:01.48morsingSo which form do I need?
18:02.33murbread guide  A4 first.
18:02.38murbAN Guide
18:02.55murbhttp://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/6353/11406/guidean1.pdf
18:04.16murbmorsing: when did you come to the uk?
18:08.48morsing2002
18:09.43murboh and it costs 655 quid, but you get 80 quid back if you are unsuccessful.
18:10.06murbthere is also this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-United-Kingdom-Journey-Citizenship/dp/0113413025
18:10.17murbwhich you are supposed to read
18:10.25morsingCan't be bothered ;-)
18:11.03murbwell you have to pass a test base on what is in it.
18:12.24morsingCan I communicate in English to an acceptable degree?
18:12.52morsingmurb: Test? Like the one I've already passed? Or what? There are no more tests
18:13.36murbmorsing: what test have you passed?
18:14.06morsingLife in the UK test
18:14.23morsingIt's the only one...
18:14.36antiphaseYou're only allowed to be British if you holiday in Falaraki and drink 20 pints of Stella on Friday night
18:15.01antiphaseAll while speaking with the Received Pronunciation
18:15.23morsingantiphase: Watch it...
18:15.24murbmorsing: oh so you then just need to fill out that form and send off 655 quid then i guess.
18:15.36murbmorsing: probably worth getting someone else to read the form before you send it off as well.
18:15.43morsingI eat black pudding every morning and I've tasted salt & vinegar crisps
18:15.49murb'cos you don't want to waste the cash 'cos of a silly mistake.
18:15.54morsingYeah
18:15.58murbmorsing: but you didn't inhale?
18:16.06murb(the crisps)
18:16.10morsing:)
18:16.46antiphaseIf they ask, Richard III burnt his fish and chips whilst fiddling as Rome was burning
18:17.05murbmorsing: if you get the citizenship will danemakr take away your ciitzenship?
18:22.39morsingyes - Fortunately. One of the main reasons for doing it

18:31.45wethrinyes
18:32.29morsingDamn. They need my passport for three months which means I have to find a period where I won't leave for three months...
18:34.03morsing30/9 - 22/12 is not three months... Too close?
18:34.48wethrinmight be

18:45.26murbrate it down then.
18:46.08murbmorsing: can you get a danish ID card or don't they have such things?
18:46.25murbif y, you could use that for travelling atleast in the eu.
18:46.36morsingmurb: EU yes - UK no.
18:46.38morsingIf only
18:47.03murbmorsing: my wife has travelled to the uk on an german ID card a few times without problems.
18:47.13morsingAnd it's got nothing to do with Danish anything. An EU driving licence is ID enough to travel around the EU (-UK)
18:47.24morsingmurb: She's a brave woman
18:47.32murbmorsing: i know she married me!
18:47.39morsingNo comments...
18:48.12murbmorsing: but if you can get a danish ID card it would make things easier.
18:48.21morsingMakes no difference
18:48.34murbwhy? if you have a card that lets you travel about the EU
18:48.36morsingI've got my EU/UK driving licence
18:48.43morsingLike my driving licence
18:48.45murbwhich isn't a travel document.
18:48.56morsingNeither is an ID card
18:49.51murbmorsing: so denmark doesn't have one then.
18:50.34morsingNo - well, it used to be the Dankort but they removed the photo
18:50.45murbok. can you get a 2nd passport?
18:51.13murbsay if you want to travel to saudi and israel on business?
18:51.33morsingOehrmmmm? What?
18:52.06murbmorsing: I know the UK passport agency or whatever they're called today would give people more than one passport if they had a good reason for wanting one.
18:52.16murbwondering if the danish would do the same?
18:52.29morsingBut how would I get it ;-)

18:53.15morsing'k. Well, in theory, if I've lost it, they should be able to get me a new one
