03:22.38atoponceok. so, it's timo to have some un, i think
03:22.56atoponcei'm in the hotel, and there's an open linksys wifi router in the building
03:23.05atoponcei'm currently connected to it
03:23.26atoponcepull up the browser, 192.168.1.1 with admin:admin, and i'm in
03:23.39atoponcei've already changed the ssid and the admin pass
03:23.51HeartsbaneBlock google.com
03:24.05atoponceheh
03:26.08atoponcei should do mac address filtering
03:26.33Heartsbaneatoponce: can you change it from a class C internal to a class A, that should mess up any other configuration on other machines
03:26.46atoponcemaybe brick the thing with an unsuccessful firmware update
03:26.57Heartsbaneif you do mac address filtering that will make it completely un usuable
03:27.12Heartsbanethat is just cold
03:27.52findlayyou should activate the walking mode
03:28.03Heartsbanemake their day horrible, but not that bad with bricking it
03:28.08atoponceit'll teach him
03:28.17Heartsbanedon't brick it
03:28.45atoponceok ok
03:29.09Heartsbanebut its okay to really mess it up to teach him a lesson
03:29.14atoponcenothing wrong with making itbunusable though
03:29.38atoponceif he has physical access, he can just reset it
03:30.37atoponcefindlay: what do you mean?
03:30.46atoponce"the walking mode"?
03:31.18findlaythe easter egg that makes the device walk around
03:31.24atoponceheh

19:18.08opapoI have cracklib installed but, I can't get it to force a strong password
19:19.24opapoIt says this is not a good password retype Unix password
19:20.06opapoIt doesn't force you to use a good password, it just warns you it is not strong
19:20.35atoponceare you root, or a regular user?
19:23.26opaporoot
19:23.45atoponceyou can enter a weak pass as root
19:23.57atoponceroot can bypass the restrictions
19:24.17atoponcea regular user, on the other hand, cannot
19:24.17opapoI use sudo passwd daniel
19:24.34atoponceyeah. so, root is setting the pass for daniel, and it can be anything, really
19:24.39atoponceweak or strong
19:24.58opapothanks
19:25.24atoponceif you ran passwd as daniel, you'll find that you probably can't enter the same password. it'll force you to try again
19:25.34opapoit does
19:25.43atoponcethis is normal behavior
19:26.21opapoI change passwords for others or create their account so I use sudo alot
19:26.33opapoI just got used to doing it
19:26.37opapothanks again

20:56.15thaddeusqI like that, troseph tells Zelut that he works at bluehost and then runs. He must know how much Zelut loves bluehost.
21:05.55Zeluti thought that was entertaining as well.
21:06.09Zelutno that i've configured apache properly we should be all set on slicehost
21:07.36tristanbobZelut, you have eee pc?
21:07.42tristanbobrunning xubuntu?
21:12.58*** join/#ubuntu-us-ut redbeard2 (n=redbeard@38.101.192.66)
21:13.21Zeluttristanbob: ubuntu 7.10.
21:13.36tristanbobon eee pc?  how does it run?  do you recommend it?
21:13.41Zeluti tried xubuntu, but i'm more comfortable with gnome..
21:13.51Zelutruns fine. its the only machine i have used for the last two weeks on the road.
21:14.01Zeluti trust it enough to be the only box i bring with me on trips..
21:14.15tristanbobZelut, are there a lot tweaking to get it working?
21:17.50Zeluti wrote down everything you need here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC
21:18.08Zelutalso, that has references to the eeewiki, which has some other scripts to do it for you.
21:18.14Zelutits really not that hard
21:18.39tristanbobterrific documentation Zelut - great to see this on the ubuntu wiki
21:19.45Zelutmy blog is actually #1 for 'ubuntu eeepc', which is just my short post announcing i built the wiki page..

23:31.19Zelutherlo1: fedora working well enough on there?
23:32.03herloZelut, yeah, pretty well
23:32.09herlojbot, onjoin #ubuntu-us-ut -herlo
23:32.09jbotherlo: ok
23:32.15herlodamnd Heartsbane
23:32.45Zelutthis is the only machine i brought this week and i've been fine so far.
23:32.53HeartsbaneI am going to just put it back
23:33.08herloHeartsbane, I know
23:33.09Zelutit does get a little awkward sitting in the hotel with this on your lap after a few hours.
23:33.33Claud-SLChehe
23:33.42Claud-SLChearts is a BAD boy
23:34.07herloZelut, I find that I can watch movies/tv on it at night and its really convenient for when I want to do some chatting, but if I wanna develop on it, that's not gonna happen
23:38.29Zelutherlo: maybe i don't do that much development, but i've done folding devel on it easily enough.
23:38.39Zelutjust need a full screen vim session to code anyway, right :)
23:39.33herloZelut, yeah, that's true, though I generally like to move around a bit
23:39.54herlomaybe it will make me more productive in the long run if I have to stay focused on one window for longer
23:42.09Zelutmy students are looking for some more challenging troubleshooting items.
23:42.16Zelutany suggestions on what i should break?
23:42.30Claud-SLCubuntu or other?
23:42.42Claud-SLCand what level are they?

23:47.51undertakingyouzelut, type in rm -rf /, and then have them fix that.  :)
23:48.01undertakingyouok, that was silly, but I needed a laugh
23:48.05Zelutundertakingyou: something usable
23:48.33undertakingyousorry
23:49.48Heartsbanesetup NFS for them between 2 machines, and break lockd, statd or portmap
23:50.05Heartsbanethat should give them some issues
23:51.08HeartsbaneI think if you break lockd that will just give performance issues
23:51.47Heartsbaneset the TCP wrapper to deny certain IP's in the classroom and ask them to find out why?
23:52.44HeartsbaneI don't know somethings that come to mind
