Comments:
<0> ananke: reinstalled openssh-server, same problem, i suspect it is an X config option on the client side, do you know where i can find the configs that might be affecting this?
<1> gufymike, you around ?
<2> Hey
<2> I seem to be having problems using the p***wd command
<2> It keeps kiving me the error "p***wd: Authentication token manipulation error"
<2> Any idea?
<3> Quiznos: re memo - yes, it was before.
<0> PEOPEO: thats is a pretty generic error, what are you trying to do?
<2> Generally, to change my p***word
<2> Is it something to do with PAM errors?
<0> if the command is 2 lines or less paste it to the channel
<2> It's just
<2> p***wd user blah
<2> err
<2> blahblahblah
<2> Has to be more than 6 letters
<2> :-)
<0> if you are trying to change another users p***word or create a p***word that violates your p***word policy you need to be superuser when you do it, that could explain the error
<2> Err, i'm using root
<4> bronze okidoke
<0> PEOPEO: is the user enabled?
<2> Hmm
<2> How would i check?
<0> p***wd -S <user>
<5> what would cause this error using the "df -h" command: df:cannot read the table of mounted filesystems. ? Weird part is, I only get this error when I ssh into the system. If I am physically at the system df works fine. any ideas ?
<6> gn8@all
<7> is /proc exposed?
<5> proc is fine. mounted and all is there. cat /proc/mounts and cat /proc/partitions shows info just fine
<8> pheorehs: missing /etc/mtab?
<8> pheorehs: or, mtab not readable would have the same effect.
<5> phogg, /etc/mtab is there. empty but there
<9> anyone this fine afternoon have any ideas on how to make things actually be rendered in the window they're supposed to be in? if I move around a glxgears window, half the time the gears are correctly in the window, the other half the time they end up being drawn centered against the left edge of the screen, regardless of where the window is...
<8> pheorehs: empty is not good
<10> alrighty
<5> phogg, ok. so why does the command work when physically at the machine ?
<10> now this is all theoretical
<5> and how do I get /etc/mtab filled ?
<9> is this a chroot shell or some such?
<8> pheorehs: Eh? It does what now?
<2> khaije1: I get "P 05/17/2006 0 99999 7 -1"
<10> Lets say I banned an IP but I mistyped it and now some kid's IP is banned from my server.... How would I unban that IP?
<8> pheorehs: IIRC it is modified by mount when mounting things.
<8> see the mount man page for details
<0> PEOPEO: that means that it is enabled, and already has a p***word
<2> Right
<5> phogg, yeah, it works fine when I am at the machine and type "df -h", it only stops when I ssh in
<8> pheorehs: when at the physical terminal is mtab empty?
<2> Yeah, just read the man for that
<8> pheorehs: are you logging in as the same user both times?
<5> yes
<0> PEOPEO: i can't think of any other reasons why you'd get that error beside p***word policy violation - ie p***word not strong enough -- or privledges
<8> Very weird.
<2> hmm, it may be priviledges
<0> if you are root, it shouldn't matter
<5> /etc/mtab remains empty all the time. on sys startup, on login, and even when I mount stuff
<0> PEOPEO: root is king
<5> I R root
<2> What could be the cause if it were a priviledges problem
<0> dollah dollah bill ya'll
<8> pheorehs: well that is your problem. As to how to fix it... I'm baffled.
<8> pheorehs: what distribution is this?
<5> my bewilderment counters your baffleness
<5> phogg, other.
<0> huh? as root i can't think of why that would happen since afaik, root is exempted from p***word policy reqs
<5> built myself
<8> pheorehs: LFS?
<5> or something like it
<8> pheorehs: maybe you missed something somewhere...
<5> likely
<8> pheorehs: if you compiled mount yourself maybe it's looking in another place for mtab
<8> pheorehs: here's a question to ask: What is different about our environment when logged in remotely.
<5> phogg, actually, I am using busybox mount
<5> typeing mount by itself produces output
<8> pheorehs: the usual table?
<5> yup
<11> Hello
<12> pheorehs what are the alias's in each of those env
<5> Splinter2, ehh ?
<5> seems to be fixed now by making symlink "ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab". now it works. weird...
<8> pheorehs: according to the mount man page mount displays the /etc/mtab table when invoked with no arguments
<12> is df an alias in either at machine or ssh'd in
<8> pheorehs: that's not a good solution as those files should contain slightly different things
<12> I concur, it'll blow when something changes /etc/mtab
<8> pheorehs: although be warned: what `mount' outputs and what is in /etc/mtab are not identical
<8> Splinter2: except it looks like nothing is changing /etc/mtab.
<8> or maybe something is clobbering it
<5> phogg, exactly
<12> mount a flopy and see ?
<12> floppy even
<8> a good plan
<8> or a cdrom, or something simple like that
<12> without the sym-link please
<5> mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom, on empty mtab, causes no change to mtab
<5> busybox mount is broken
<8> pheorehs: not broken, but deliberately 'different'
<8> That would be my guess
<8> probably makes all kinds of ***umptions, too.
<5> must be
<13> how can I change the language in Gimp? (I believe this is not the right place to ask this question,but i don't know where else to,so,I apologize)
<8> I need to patch xchat so that all channels share typed message history
<14> Hi everybody. Ekiga problem: people that call me cannot hear my voice; when I call them, they can. I am running Foresight Linux.
<8> gpfreitas: no idea here, but could it be a firewall negotiation issue?
<8> like... the voice connection is being filtered going in to you, unless you requested the connection and punched out.
<14> phogg: maybe... I will take a look at Firestarter. Maybe some port needs to be opened.
<14> phogg: Do you have an idea of which port?
<8> gpfreitas: sorry, never sued anything like ekiga
<14> well, anyway, that was a good guess. thanks phogg.
<14> phogg: there must be something related to this in the ekiga faq...
<14> phogg: It seems not to be the firewall... I suspended all the firewall rules for a moment, but it did not solve the problem. Thanks anyway! Any other ideas?
<8> gpfreitas: not off the top of my head
<15> I was just wondering if anyone could recommend to me what to use if I want to set up a server that hosts home directories for remote users (obviously restricting access) sorry if it's obvious, I'm not too seasoned yet. I ***ume NFS alone doesn't have the functionality
<14> phogg: well, thanks anyway!
<5> works now
<4> how do i get makefile from Makefile.{am,in} ?
<4> i hate autotools
<4> i dont hate people; i dont even hate demons
<16> anyone good at postfix?
<4> autotools are neither
<16> how can i put all mail to hold queue?
<4> hey! who ordered rain!?
<17> damn i had to piss 3 times in a row
<4> it's a street cleaning flude
<15> Aw c'mon, free cheese for anyone who answers my question. *Huge* chunks of it. Picture them melting gloriously in the summer heat.
<4> krang NO CHEEZE -- it aint food!!!
<4> bloats me up like a helium balloon
<4> nasty stuff
<15> Of course not, would I try to trick you? My cheese comes 100% 'Z' free
<4> ew
<4> try #Postfix
<4> krang ldap perhaps and tldp.net
<4> url first tho
<15> Quiznos: cheers, I'll go have a look into it
<4> yw
<15> Quiznos: mad props on the subs by the way, you make 'em great
<4> heh tell bob :)
<15> if bob doesn't understand now, he never will
<4> he does the day-to-day
<18> anyone here familiar with nmap?
<4> a few of us
<15> um, sort of
<15> they even used in the the matrix 2 :-)
<4> heh
<19> oh yeah, nmap's a neat little tool
<19> lets me know if i have any ports open that shouldn't be open
<18> im trying to find out if a domain has an ftp server and if so, is it the same as the web server using nmap on www.co.umist.ac.uk
<4> anders9034 why?
<18> however, nmap stalls
<4> no one say anything
<15> zzzzzzzzip
