00:06.29HeartsbaneShoot us the URL when your done Zelut I would be interested to read it
00:07.48ZelutHeartsbane: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/04/16/update-securing-synergy-over-the-wire/
00:11.49ZelutIt isn't really a huge deal as synergy doesn't go out over the WAN but its still not a bad idea on a LAN.
00:11.58Zelutwho knows what snoopy sysadmins might be doing
00:13.00Heartsbaneso then synergy would be encrypted?
00:13.35Zelutif you tunnel it over ssh as in the tutorial it will be encrypted, yes.
00:13.47Heartsbaneinteresting
00:13.54HeartsbaneI think I would try this
00:14.09Heartsbaneor will
00:14.13Heartsbanetry this
00:14.19ZelutI've been using synergy for a year and never thought about doing that.. I'm glad I got that figured out today.
00:23.46Zelutmainly I'm glad I found something worthwhile to blog about.  I've been in a dry spell.
00:53.31Zelutatoponce: do you happen to remember the command to squelch the root notices from bitlbee?

12:27.25atoponceZelut: see that ubuntu live registration is open?
12:30.52atoponcethey have pricing, and i'm not so sure about going now...
12:31.01atoponcehttp://www.ubuntulive.com/pub/w/60/pricing.html
12:32.01atoponce65% off with student ID and class schedule
13:54.36ZelutHmm.. that'll put Cat's registration cheaper.
14:03.31Zelutapparently many people don't realize that you don't *have* to tunnel ssh through localhost.
14:03.38Zelutnobody is understanding my blog post.
14:15.35Zelut..unless I'm just not understanding it, but that'd surprise me.

15:20.38maquisZelut: how's it going today?
15:20.46Zelutpretty good
15:23.44herloZelut: pong
15:24.49Zelutherlo: wondering why I could still keep up this ssh connection after you killed masquerade & even DROP'd me
15:34.04herloZelut: ssh doesn't send packets every second or anything, and I believe it will persist as long as you don't send too much data
15:34.36Zeluthmm.. that got me curious because this persisted even though web traffic did not.
15:36.15herlobecause web traffic requires an immediate response, ssh doesn't
15:48.35atoponcehmmm. tomboy 0.6.3...
15:48.36atoponcenice
15:49.02Zelutatoponce: when're you going to upgrade? waiting for final again?

16:49.48atoponceis he in #utah?
16:49.55atoponceor do you know his email address?

16:50.57maquishe's a music artist and has some pretty good work
16:51.14maquishe also runs knobtweakers.net
16:51.54atoponceyeah. i've listened to some of his stuff
16:52.06atoponcebecause he's in the industry, so to speak, i bet he is aware of it
16:52.50burnthegreatmorning guys
16:53.08[phoenyx]morning
17:00.52atoponcewhy does debian have to make things to blasted difficult?
17:07.17*** join/#ubuntu-utah Zelut (n=christer@kuyaedz.fttp.xmission.com)
17:30.16[phoenyx]atoponce: to keep the riffraff users away and preserve their distro purity? ;)
17:30.34atoponcewell, here's my issue:
17:31.01atoponcei want to install mozialla-firefox, *not* iceweasel, as iceweasel is not compatible with an extension
17:31.34atoponceso, when i 'sudo aptitude purge iceweasel' and 'sudo aptidue install mozilla-firefox', even with the non-free repo, i expect to get it
17:31.44atoponceso, when iceweasel is installed, i get angry
17:31.53atoponceNO, I DO NOT WANT ICEWEASEL!
17:31.58atoponcei want firefox
17:32.33atoponceand it doesn't matter what i do, i can't get around their love for iceweasel
17:32.38atoponceso, screw em
17:33.01atoponcewhen feisty is released on thurs, i'm coming in early to backup everything, and remove debian, and install ubuntu
17:33.29atoponcedebian is just becoming a thorn in my side
17:39.26maquisatoponce: :)
17:41.05[phoenyx]atoponce: iceweasel is the path of the righteous, firefox is the path of the sinner.
17:41.45atoponce[phoenyx]: well, i guess i'm a sinner. send me to hell. if increasing my productivity means sinning, then i'm a *very* wiked man. :)
17:44.42[phoenyx]herlo: we (my wife and I) want to get some new games to play with the in-laws when they come out to visit.  any recommendations?
17:48.06maquis[phoenyx]: board games?
17:48.21[phoenyx]yeah
17:48.28maquisi know some people who have some really unusual/rare board games
17:48.32maquisi find those to be the most interesting
17:49.34maquisif you can find a store that specializes in board games and such, that's the place to go
17:49.48maquiswe used to have a store out here in seattle called "turn off the tv"...
17:50.01maquisthey were really great, but they shut down, unfortunately
17:50.17maquisiirc, the malls in provo had similar types of stores, though
17:50.27maquisthey weren't quite as big, but they looked likely to have some cool games
17:50.38maquisor you could try someplace like *cough* amazon *cough*
17:50.41[phoenyx]there is a good one down the street from where I live, that specializes in european/strategy games
17:54.56[phoenyx]maquis: what games do you like?
18:05.14maquis[phoenyx]: there was some really good one i saw one night where everybody tries to answer a numeric question, then everybody bets on what they thing the closest answer that doesn't go over is
18:05.21maquisthat was a lot of fun
18:06.16maquisthere was also one where you are a penguin and you try to capture more fish than your opponents
18:06.31maquis(the guy who brought these games to a game night works for m$, so i gave him a hard time about having a penguin game... :)
18:09.04Zelutatoponce: I thought ubuntu wouldn't install for you
18:09.29maquis[phoenyx]: sorry... i don't remember the name of it :)
18:09.32maquisor the other one
18:09.37maquisbut there are lots of really random games
18:09.52maquisooh... the other good one is the MAD Magazine board game... but i think it's impossible to find
18:10.03[phoenyx]my parents have it
18:10.20atoponceZelut: it's the sata drivers in edgy that don't work
18:10.43atoponceZelut: if ubuntu grabs from testing, then feisty should have the ones that debian used to work
18:23.57Zelutthat must be why my server went to crap when I upgraded to Feisty alpha.. it has the sata card & drive.
18:26.45Zelutif someone can point me to instructions on using TLS auth for relay_host in postfix I'll be really grateful.
18:27.26maquisZelut: are you trying to get gmail to play nicely with postfix?
18:27.41maquisor something along those lines?
18:28.17Zelutmaquis: I'm trying to get my local machine to use postfix for outgoing and use TLS auth so I can use them for a relay_host.
18:33.36maquisZelut: dunno
18:33.58maquisi think gmail requires the same type of thing to connect with mutt
18:34.11maquisand i remember something about certain versions of postfix not supporting TLS
18:34.28maquisand you have to compile-in tls support, which isn't the default for some silly reason
18:42.02ZelutI've got mutt to work with gmail & imap simply enough, but outgoing still goes out of postfix which isn't AUTHing to xmission..
18:42.20ZelutI'm not sure how to tell mutt to smtp thru another host such as gmail..
18:47.47ZelutI mean I could just send out straight from my box but I've found without relay_host some domains won't accept it.

21:27.36*** join/#ubuntu-utah opapo (n=daniel@205.118.116.107)
21:37.49opapoI have umask set to 002 in the .profile file, but when users sftp files they have 644 as their permissions
21:38.08opapoHow do I get sftp to umask the way I want it to?
21:39.35tapH20guruit's a non-interactive login... so it doesn't read your .profile
21:40.10opapoIs there a setting somewhere I can set the umask for ssh?
21:40.18opaposftp?
21:41.25tapH20guruin your /etc/ssh/sshd_config
21:41.34Zelutare you using vsftpd?
21:41.48ZelutI should read the whole message first huh
21:42.16Zelutthat service should have its own perm settings
21:42.29tapH20guruIn the sshd_config use "UseLogin yes" so it will read the .profile
21:42.41tapH20guruit make it an interactive login
21:43.27tapH20guruor set SftpUmask
21:43.46opapoI have users using WinSCP and I don't want them to do anything different than they are currently doing.
21:44.57opapoI did man on sshd_config and can't find SftpUmask
21:45.55tapH20gurumy bad.... that's a BSD config
21:46.05opapook
21:46.24opapowhen you say interactive login how interactive is it?
21:47.20opapoThey are putting in their credentials to WinSCP, would they need to put in their credentials any more with an interactive login?
21:47.58opapoZelut: I have heard a lot about vsftpd and am interested in implementing that along with rssh
21:48.33Zelutvsftp takes about 2min to setup
21:49.09opapoZelut: I am using openSSH on a Fedora box and have current users.  If I change on them will they notice anything?
21:49.16opapoWhat about the ssh keys
21:49.19tapH20guruopapo: UseLogin yes didn't work?
21:49.39opapotapH2Oguru: thanks
21:49.40Zelutwell vsftp isn't the same as sftp or ssh.
21:49.51opapook
21:50.15Zelutits more secure than ftp but it still isn't ssh encrypted secure
21:51.02opaposo is openssh better for encrypted file transfers?
21:52.34tapH20guruit's a different protocol... not like SSH
21:52.53tapH20gurui don't think your users keys would work in vsftp
21:53.01Zelutthey wont
21:53.04tapH20guruit's encrypted FTP... not SSH
21:54.38opapoThanks
21:55.16opapoBack to the original question is there a way for sftp to have a modified umask?
21:56.40Zelutman sftp does have a mention of umask setting.  have you looked at that?
21:56.49opapoyes
21:56.55opapoand ssh_config
21:57.08opaposorry, just ssh and sshd_config
21:58.07opapoZelut: that is for the interactive mode.
21:58.24opapowill that work for WinSCP though?
21:58.36tapH20guruyeah it should
21:58.59tapH20guruedit the sshd_config and bounce the sshd daemon
21:59.18opapo???
21:59.38tapH20gurusorry... change it to interactive mode
21:59.52tapH20guru"UseLogin yes"
22:00.00opapook
22:00.30opapolumask is the command for sftp in interactive mode
22:00.50opapoand that is the only mention of umask in sftp
22:01.10opapoI can't have my users have an interactive command line
22:01.29opapoThey need to drag and drop local files to the server
22:01.44tapH20guruno... by switching to "UseLogin yes" in your conf... it will run your .profile and your umask command
22:01.54tapH20guruwhen you connect with WinSCP
22:01.55opapooh
22:02.08HeartsbaneWhere is Roundy when you need a laugh
22:02.15Zelutlol
22:03.01HeartsbaneI think my 2.4.30 Debian box is at the end of its life
22:03.18HeartsbaneYay Ubuntu 7.04 will put into use
22:03.18opapotapH2Oguru: I'm sorry, your last post on UseLogin yes I thought was a statement not a question.
22:03.36opapoI will check "UseLogin yes"
22:03.40tapH20gurulol
22:03.42tapH20guruok
22:03.58tapH20guruthat will run anything you put in your shell's profile
22:04.34opapoand if there is no user profile it will grab information from the global profile right?
22:05.32tapH20gururight
22:05.33tapH20guru/etc/profile
22:05.51opapoI feel better now
22:05.56tapH20gurulol
22:06.05opapoThanks for the help  and sorry for the confusion
22:06.37atoponceZelut: ping
22:06.44Zelutatoponce: pong
22:06.44opapoI did change sshd_config and checked it and I believe it worked.
22:06.45tapH20gurunp
22:07.10atoponceZelut: any rsvp for the feisty party? i have 3, excluding me and my wife, i think
22:07.17atoponcenothing on food, though
22:07.28Zelutwe've got two others so far
22:07.52Zelutsounds like people are tentative considering final may not actually be released on time.
22:08.10atoponcethe final might be late? where'd you hear that?
22:08.39atoponcethat's not good
22:13.59opapoSomeone I know might be coming up
22:14.15opapoI just told him about it today and I don't know if he can make it
22:24.17ZelutI've heard it a few places now..
22:24.29Zelutnotice RC1 was supposed to be released last thur and has yet to be.
22:24.51Zelut..and I forwarded that email this morning to the list about helping squash some bugs found in the kernel.
22:25.05ZelutI'm keeping my fingers crossed but I'm not holding my breath.

22:28.13maquisclutchm1: maybe
22:28.15tapH20guruclutchm1: shoot
22:28.44clutchm1I am helping my dad over the phone with a 32bit install
22:29.27clutchm1he has installed just fine but when he loads ubuntu his trackball won't work but it did with the live cd
22:29.53clutchm1he also is using a kvm switch, could that be the problem
22:30.27tapH20guruit's be worth it to try and plug it in directly
22:30.28HeartsbaneHAHAHA HA

22:30.49HeartsbaneROFL
22:30.49tapH20gurualso... sometimes have issues using a usb keybord
22:31.06HeartsbaneClick on that second link
22:31.09Zelutso I just accidentally figured out autofs.  yay
22:31.10HeartsbaneDamn that funny
22:31.10tapH20gurui have to unplug.. and plug it back in again after I switch to the computer on the KVM
22:32.15clutchm1he is using ps2
22:32.34clutchm1has mouse movement at the login screen
22:32.57tapH20guruno keyboard?
22:34.24clutchm1ps2 with the keyboard and it works fine but keeps shutting off num lock, can he set it to keep numlock on?
22:35.00tapH20guruyup...
22:35.35clutchm1how does he set numlock to stay on?
22:35.51tapH20guruhttp://www.ubuntugeek.com/numlock-activate-at-startup-in-login-screen.html
22:37.03tapH20guruso his mouse works on the login screen... but no after he logs in?
22:37.06tapH20guruno - not
22:39.45clutchm1he switched trackballs and now isn't using the trackball through the kvm switch but his keyboard is still running through the switch, how do you make sure the universal repository is on for the numlock update?
22:42.49tapH20guruthere's a few ways... text or gui?
22:43.16clutchm1gui
22:43.26tapH20gurugui... Applications -> Add / Remove
22:43.35tapH20guruthen hit Preferences at the bottom
22:44.05tapH20guruI usually check em all :)
22:44.58tapH20gurunow you should be able to install the numlock thingy
22:45.43clutchm1i'm looking at the add/remove programs page and don't see and preferences
22:45.53tapH20gurufeisty?
22:45.57tapH20guruedgy?
22:46.25clutchm1still edgy
22:46.47clutchm1waiting for the 19th to get feisty
22:46.54tapH20gurunp
22:47.44clutchm1so how do I do it in edgy?
22:47.49tapH20guruone sec
22:48.38tapH20gurulet me boot up my edgy box :)
22:48.48clutchm1ok
22:49.31tapH20guruahh... it's in synaptic
22:49.45tapH20gurupreferences
22:50.41tapH20gurufeisty really makes it easy ... i think you'll like it
22:50.45clutchm1alright, he is installing regular updates so it will be just a sec
22:50.48tapH20guruk
22:55.35clutchm1he had to go eat dinner but I think I can figure out the numlock thing, his main concern is with the kvm switch because he has another machine that is dedicated to sound recording and mixing that he has setup to use the same keyboard and mouse
22:58.29clutchm1in synaptic preferences where do I set it to use the universe repository? I'm looking at it now
23:01.00clutchm1I think I found it under settings / repositorys
23:18.46clutchm1here is another good question, last night I installed ubuntu 32bit on my moms dell and firefox and gaim won't connect to the internet and neither will add/remove programs but the default updates and synaptic both connect fine and I can ping websites fine
23:39.37atoponcelol: http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/pcs/silverlight-cracks-up-the-web-253116.php
23:40.48tapH20guruOT: favorite php framework? I'm trying to decide between cake vs symphony
23:42.40atoponcedon't use one, actually. using django and python at work
23:43.47tapH20gurui can't use ruby / rails, it's php only
