<eugene200> dns is ok
<eugene200> how to add properli no domain
<eugene200> new domain
<regionalp> How do I install identd?
<Zakabog> Ummm
<graz> you dont need identd
<regionalp> er
<regionalp> ident
<Zakabog> How do I add a user to a group?
<Phaid> usermod -G groupname username or vigr
<randomnic> anyone up?
<InNeed> hey guys
<InNeed> i need help
<InNeed> i need to compile keep*** 1.5 for cent os 4.3
<InNeed> can some1 give me a quick explanation on how? i have the source files
<Trey> InNeed: does it include a README or INSTALL file or something similar?
<InNeed> nope
<InNeed> actually anyone know a p***word manager for linux? open source
<randomnic> is cgywin worth installing?
<randomnic> i'm on 2k
<Phaid> InNeed first hit on google: http://www.netadmintools.com/art453.html
<graz> randomnic: install it and see
<Phaid> randomnic it's worth installing if it will do what you need it to.
<Phaid> I don't use cygwin any more, I just use straight Windows ports of stuff. gimp, putty, winscp, and Mi/X is really all I need.
<randomnic> hey. is ssh tunneling for use only with laptops?
<Phaid> why would that be?
<randomnic> i just don't know
<Phaid> ...
<randomnic> oh. i'm only getting hits for articles for laptops from google.
<randomnic> and is this just for linux or can it be done on windows as well?
<randomnic> nm
<Phaid> it can be done on anything, and you can do it in windows with putty also
<Phaid> I guess most people just don't find it that useful to do on desktops, but there's no difference obviously
<randomnic> no difference between what?
<Phaid> between a laptop and a desktop
<randomnic> oh
<InNeed> ok to compile an installer from a source i type make install "nameofpackagehere??"
<InNeed> its a tar.gz file
<graz> use the distros pkg
<InNeed> they dont have one for my build
<Phaid> no, make install requires a Makefile, which is a file inside the tar.gz file
<InNeed> check it out no centos one
<InNeed> http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Keep***-L-Download-4688.html
<Phaid> what are you building
<Phaid> ah keep***
<InNeed> have u used before?
<Phaid> might be simpler for you to do what that website I pasted says
<Phaid> and run it in wine
<InNeed> well admin syas no way
<InNeed> admin says no way i can put wine
<Phaid> lol
<Phaid> ok then what you need to do is
<Phaid> tar xzvf packagefile
<Phaid> then cd into the directory that creates
<Phaid> and read the README or INSTALL file in there
<Phaid> most likely you just need to do ./configure and then make install
<InNeed> ah ok thanxs
<InNeed> got this error
<InNeed> gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
<InNeed> tar: Child returned status 1
<InNeed> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
<Phaid> what is the filename of the file? it might be a .bz2 or just a straight .tar file
<InNeed> KeeP***X-0.2.1.tar.gz
<Phaid> well then tar xzvf should work
<Phaid> unless the file isn't really gzipped because your browser uncompressed it when you downloaded it
<Phaid> try just doing tar xvf
<Phaid> er
<Phaid> tar xvf KeeP***X-0.2.1.tar.gz
<InNeed> hmm ill try dw again thank you
<randomnic> Pahid
<Phaid> sup
<randomnic> so is tunneling just connecting through one secure system to get to another one?
<Phaid> pretty much
<randomnic> and how is that safer or more secure than a direct connection?
<Phaid> one of my clients has this wacky novell logon thing, and you can't go out port 80 or 25 or 110 unless your machine has their client installed and signed on
<Phaid> but they don't block port 22
<Phaid> so when I'm there, and I bring my laptop, I just ssh -D 7070 to my house, and set up Mozilla to use localhost:7070 as its socks proxy, and boom, all my web and mail traffic goes through the ssh connection
<Phaid> and the client can't read any of the traffic, since it's all going over an encrypted connection
<randomnic> ok i see how you can get around firewalls or blocks like that...
<Phaid> so if you're at a coffee shop or using a hotel wireless or whatever, this kind of thing is a lot safer than just sending your data in the clear
<randomnic> but what makes it more secure. aren't you just "bouncing" your connection? if anyone was watching the traffic to your computer, what does it matter where it is coming from?
<Phaid> because it's impossible for anyone to sniff the traffic then
<Phaid> sure
<Phaid> if someone at my ISP is sniffing the traffic between my home computer and the internet, this won't help
<ker0uac> I am logging into my machine over ssh. I want to leave BitchX running indefinitely, but when I "ctrl-z" to suspend the process, the client quits after my SSH session is done. Is there any way around this?
<Phaid> on the other hand, if someone on the network where my laptop is is sniffing, this will prevent them getting anything
<Phaid> ker0uac use /detach and scr-bx
<Phaid> or use screen
<randomnic> so couldn't they just sniff the traffic between your computer and the one you are tunneling through?
<Phaid> randomnic there is no "computer I am tunneling through"
<randomnic> theoretically
<Phaid> the tunnel is between my laptop and my home computer
<Phaid> and no, nobody can sniff that because it is an encrypted ssh connection
<ker0uac> Phaid: oh, so scr-bx is what I type to call it back after I've /detached it?
<Phaid> ker0uac exactly
<randomnic> oh, right. i forgot about the encryption part.
<randomnic> ok
<ker0uac> Phaid: what is secreen? ωνω BitchX: No such command [SCREEN]
<Phaid> screen is a console command
<Phaid> you would do screen BitchX
<Phaid> and then to detach you do ctrl-a d
<Phaid> and then to reattach you do screen -r
<ker0uac> excellent, ty
<Phaid> this works better than /detach and scr-bx because it handles terminal resizes better
<ker0uac> I see
<Phaid> though in principle it's the same thing really
<Phaid> (and obviously screen works for any terminal oriented app, not just bitchx)
<ker0uac> cool
<ker0uac> Phaid: how do I locate the config.h file, so that I may change settings. Also, can I have multiple terminals in Bitchx? Sorry, I couldn't find a very useful help file.
<Phaid> multiple terminals you mean multiple channels ?
<ker0uac> Phaid: yes
<Phaid> well you can do /win new hide
<Phaid> to create new "windows"
<ker0uac> and then to scroll between the windows?
<Phaid> and then you switch between them using esc 1 esc 2 etc
<ker0uac> awesome
<Phaid> I don't know what you mean about config.h ?
<ker0uac> oh, well I want to set some default stuff in Bitchx, like my nick, which channels to autojoin (and preverably in different windows), and always connect to EFnet, etc.
<graz> config.h is read when its compiled
<Phaid> you dont use config.h for that, you use .bitchxrc
<ker0uac> oh, I see
<Phaid> IIRC you just put the commands you want into .bitchxrc and it will autorun them
<ker0uac> how do I locate and edit .bitchxrc
<Phaid> you just create it in your home directory
<ker0uac> oh, cool
<pooleb> *notices Phaid regretting answering that initial "sup"*
<Phaid> oh no I dont mind
<pooleb> ;-)
<Phaid> I'm sitting here bored waiting for COPS to come on or something
<ker0uac> I appreciate it, in any event.
<pooleb> I'm laying down laminate floors.. Nearly as exciting.
<Phaid> oh fun
<Phaid> no problem ker0uac
<ker0uac> Can anyone recommend a good AIM client that will work outside of X?
<Phaid> naim
<Phaid> naim is just completely outstanding
<ker0uac> ty
<Phaid> you can build it with its own built-in support for screen, or just use it with screen like any other console app
<ker0uac> cool
<gauze> naim is cool
<gauze> I don't use it much anymore though
<ker0uac> How do I download an http file from the command prompt. DO I have to open up a browser?
<Phaid> I use it whenever I'm not at home
<Phaid> ker0uac wget http://whatever
<gauze> lynx http://whatever works as well actually
<gauze> however that is a browser !
<Phaid> well and it requires you to interact with it. wget just goes off and does what you want
<Phaid> hey it's duck
<gauze> Phaid: you pwned my lynx knowledge
<Phaid> haha
<Idle`> hmmmm.... whos doing my secondary dns.... :S
