09:11.32SpudULikeWhat thing?
09:11.59*** mode/#gllug [-oo JD Wethrin] by ChanServ
09:12.14JDchanserv
09:12.29SpudULikeBut chanserv is your friend!
09:12.47JDtoo clever for it's own good some times
09:16.36SpudULikeHow do I monitor network usage? I suspect that someone is taking that 32M .ogg file, which is fine, but I'd like to know how much of my bandwidth is being used because of it.
09:17.45pdrhttpd logs?  netstat?
09:18.05JDip accounting?
09:18.28JDhttpd logs are more useful
09:29.20SpudULikeMy inability to understand the output from netstat really does make the log file more useful.
09:30.19pdrnetstat doesn't give you total usage anyway.  it gives current conections, their state and how much is in the buffers, so yeah, logfile is probably a better bet anyway.
09:31.00murbSpudULike: have you looked at exporting netflow stats for your upstream link?

10:03.44JDwhat a useful osting by Martin A Brooks
10:08.00WethrinYess......seeing as NAT and IP Masq are used interchangingly.
10:08.18WethrinRather, IP Masq tends to be used in Linux, and not really anywhere else.
10:08.54JDI agree that NAT is more than what most people think it is
10:09.08JDbut that email had no useful content in at all
10:09.47JDI wouldn;t have bitched about his broken enter key if it wasn;t for the fact that I provided some useful information
10:09.47WethrinWell, it's a Saturday morning, so I guess it's forgivable :)
10:09.55JDno never
10:14.07WethrinHeh. There's quite a few posts that have no useful content, merely amusing content.
10:14.40JDthat wasn't even particularly funny though
10:14.49WethrinTrue.
10:15.19JDI texted Nikki last night
10:15.26WethrinOh right. How is she?
10:15.29JDthanked her for the scarf
10:15.33JDshe is okay
10:15.39JDshe should be getting ADSL soon
10:15.45Wethrincool
10:24.39JDwhy does SCO thinks it owns NUMA, RCU, XFS and JFS?
10:44.23SpudULikeIn fact, what I was looking for in the way of network monitoring was ntop which I found by following links to try to, and failing to do so, understand what netflow is.
10:48.04SpudULikeHmm, now that I've found ntop it's like having a new toy. I do appreciate that I really am easily pleased though.

13:09.26JDI'm very surprised at the weapons report

19:07.11CopeHello
19:24.22CopeAnyone up?
19:29.32stephenyep, evening Cope
19:29.40CopeHi stephen
19:32.58Leedshi
19:33.14CopeHi Leeds! On 9.1 yet?
19:33.27Leedswaiting for the offical set to arrive
19:33.33CopeGosh!
19:33.56LeedsI bought a subscription :-)
19:34.02CopeWhat is the benefit of getting the official set?
19:34.22Leedsum... live CD... supporting Patrick
19:34.29stephenI think I might buy it, for the same reason
19:34.29Leedsmainly
19:34.40CopeHow much was it?
19:35.27Leedsthe subscription is a bit weird - they charge you and set you the set automatically whenever there's a release, but it's cheaper than the standard price
19:35.39Leedscost me 21.45 including shipping
19:35.57stephenyou bought it direct from them?
19:36.02Leeds"set you the set" = "send you the set"
19:36.16Leedsstephen: sure - make sure as much of the money goes to Patrick as possible
19:36.24CopeAbsolutely.
19:36.35CopeI was going to upgrade the slow way.
19:36.58LeedsI think it's time for a rebuild (the PC) and reinstall (the OS) here anyway
19:37.36Leedssee that's why Delta is better than switch :-)  but I do have a real c/c as well
19:38.18murbgood evening
19:38.23CopeHi murb
19:38.24LeedsDelta is good because it's a debit card like Switch, but anywhere in the world which takes Visa will take it
19:38.26Leedshey murb
19:38.44CopeI'm pondering downloading the isos.
19:39.07CopeBah
19:40.12stephenI downloaded the iso of CD1, but haven't done anything with it
19:40.47CopeI tried to dl the cd1 iso but when I got home it had stopped about halfway through
19:40.56LeedsCope: where from?  using BT?
19:41.08CopeLeeds: from linuxiso.org
19:41.40Leedsshould have used BT...
19:43.02LeedsBT is really easy
19:43.12CopeDo I need apache up and running?
19:43.21Leedsnot at all
19:43.25CopeAh
19:43.28Leedsall you need is a basic worknig python install
19:43.32CopeWhich I have
19:43.41Leedsso try it
19:43.49CopeOk :o)
19:44.27Leedsdon't worry about the graphical version, stick to the curses client
19:49.49CopeDo I need wxPython?
19:51.31Leedsonly for the graphical client :-)
19:51.38CopeAh cool
19:52.16Leedswhich is why I suggested ignoring that
19:52.26CopeYeah, I hate guis anyway
19:53.35CopeSo... I untarred and read the readme and install... I don't want to host or use the gui! Can't find much else to read.
19:54.07Leedsall you need to do is run
19:54.28Leedsbtdownloadcurses.py --url <torrent-url>
19:54.42Leedsit'll go in the current directory by default
19:56.54Leedsany luck?
19:58.05CopeWorking! Sweet
19:58.20Leedscool
19:58.32Leedsis *is* that easy, right? :-)
19:59.02CopeVery!
20:00.19CopeSo... next question.  I bought a cdwriter yesterday - recommend software for burning cds (ie backing up data)
20:00.26Leedscdrecord
20:00.27murbcdrecord
20:00.38CopeCool. I have that.
20:00.42LeedsIDE writer, I assume
20:00.52CopeLeeds: Yeah, ide.
20:01.35Leedsthen (possibly/allegedly until you're using 2.6) you'll need to mess with the ide-scsi stuff :-(
20:01.57murbLeeds: I thought that stuff had been backported to 2.4?
20:02.04murbor atleast cdrecord can/could.
20:02.57Leedsnot that I'm aware of... I'm happy using ide-scsi, because I have ide-cdrom as a module, which makes it pretty easy, so I haven't chased it
20:03.06Leedspossibly backported in a vendor kernel - I wouldn't know about that
20:07.33CopeHmm... can't find out easily.
20:07.46CopeWhat's the ide-scsi stuff?
20:08.13Leedscdrecord can only (AFAIK) record using SCSI cd-writers
20:08.30Leedsbut you only have an IDE drive
20:09.03murbLeeds: I think it does slighlty more than that now.
20:09.34Leedsfortunately, ATAPI - the bus protocol used by non-hard-drive IDE devices is similar enough to SCSI that it's possible to 'emulate' it - present the ATAPI device as a SCSI device rather than an IDE one
20:09.48murbor atleast there is somthing on 2.4 that allows Xcdroast to burn stuff without ide-scsi
20:11.13CopeHow do I know what version I'm using?
20:12.57LeedsCope: version of what?
20:13.12Copecdrecord
20:14.05Leedsmurb: cdrecord docs say Linux from 2.5.45 has ATAPI support, and libscg (the SCSI access library used by cdrecord) contains pre-alpha ATAPI support
20:14.30CopeOh I see
20:14.38CopeSorry - I'm being stupid.
20:14.43LeedsCope: um, cdrecord -version
20:15.04CopeIf I'm running 2.6 (which I can do) then cdrecord will work fine on ide devices?
20:15.21Leedsdunno
20:15.23Leedsrtfm
20:16.54Leedstry running cdrecord -scanbus and see if it finds anything
20:17.13LeedsUnfortunately, this bug causes the kernel to hang (and force you
20:17.13Leedsto reboot) if you try to call:
20:17.13Leedscdrecord -scanbus
20:18.19CopeDoes BT allow download to resume if I boot into 2.6?
20:18.33Leedssure
20:19.21CopeJust issue the same command as before, and it will resume from where it was?
20:19.29Leedsyup
20:19.42CopeCool
20:19.57Leedsyup :-)

20:37.06CopeMust have missed that, if you recommended that file.  I'll have a look now.
20:37.55CopeHmm. Sophie complains that Beethoven is not very good looking.  I think she misses his significance.

21:20.27CopeCan one browse for stuff? Or does one need to know that something is there first?
21:20.29Leedsand note that a single download can be more than one file - for example, there could be a single torrent for 3 ISOs
21:22.15Copecdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,6,0  -data  cd_image
21:22.22Cope<PROTECTED>
21:22.44gregj-data is default, you don't have to specify it
21:22.45Leedsah - that's where BT falls outside of the standard p2p thing - it doesn't include any searching at all
21:23.14CopeLeeds: I see. So how does one know what's out there?
21:23.26Leedsif you're downloading 'official' stuff, it's easy to find the tracker... if you want dodgy stuff there are various sites which appear and disappear at intervals
21:23.41Leedse.g. for the Slackware ISOs the tracker is on the slackware.com site
21:23.53Leedsif you want to download movies, you're going to have to search harder
21:24.08CopeDo I need to specify dev=ATAPI or dev=0,1,0 (from -scanbus) when I use cdrecord?
21:24.33Leedsthere are frequently sites which focus on a particular thing, e.g. episodes from a particular TV show
21:24.52LeedsI've never used dev=ATAPI - I use ide-scsi
21:27.27CopeLeeds: BT seems cool :-)
21:27.36CopeAnd its in python! :o)
21:27.43Leedsit is :-)
21:28.02Leedswell, two of the meanings of BT are cool, at least ;-)
21:28.30LeedsI like bluetooth as well
21:39.33Leedsah... smug mode
21:40.59Leedsthis old baby's crashed more times than a ZX81

22:17.14Wethrinmurb: 7 mins by car

22:17.31CopeI don't know the Rach.
22:17.59Wethrinmurb: Yes :) Plus I don't want to cycle again just yet - dodgy knee.
22:18.25murbthat would just be an excuse to avoid skiing next year?
22:18.27WethrinCope: Ah. The Rach Piano concertos are excellent pieces.
22:18.44Wethrinmurb: No, hopefully it should be okay by next week.
22:18.49Copewethrin: Cool!
22:19.12WethrinIt's slowly starting to get better (wasn't in pain when sitting in the concert hall this time)
22:22.25murbwell I'm having a difference of opinion with isakmpd... :(
22:23.00Wethrin:-(
22:23.23murbit sets up all the ike stuff, just fails to get talk to pf_key correctly...
22:23.40murbso kernel doesn't know what to do with those dodgy ESP packets...

22:48.24highbury:-/ nope. Things are too hectic here, what with only being back for the weekend to help with the baby, then having to be back to Bristol on MOnday ;(
22:48.39Leeds:-(
22:49.49highburyshould I be lighting yahzeit tonite or tomorrow?
22:50.00Leedstomorrow, I think.  I don't do it
22:50.13Leedsbefore sunset, of course
22:50.16highburyok thanks
22:50.45highburyso fasting starts tomorrow evening?
22:50.51Leedsyes
22:51.03highburyduh, ok
22:51.17LeedsI'm going to my frum cousin's for dinner, shul, bed, shul, dinner
22:51.43murbhighbury: so you're Bristol job has turned into somthing longer term?
22:51.52highburywhich shul?
22:52.05LeedsHendon - Raleigh Close? Place?
22:52.30highburymurb: no it finishes this month, I'm starting to look for the next job
22:52.58murboh you can let me know how the joh market is looking then :)
22:52.59highburyLeeds: cool, I used to go there many many years ago
22:53.18highburymurb: still slow :-(
22:55.59highburyI heard some scary statistic that 1 in 4 contractors had been jobless for over 6 months (it may have been worse)
22:56.56highburyof course its even harder for old fogey's like me (violin strings liliting in the background)
22:56.56murbhighbury: but how many of these contractors only started at the hight of the .com thing?
22:57.32highburyand equally well, how many just cashed in and gave up.
22:57.32murbhighbury: yeah, you're either getting old, or too inexpereinced to deserver a decent wage.
22:57.44murbhighbury: and got regular jobs?
22:58.22highburyprobably, buthe culture shock may have killed the off ;)
22:58.36murboh and then there are the clueless permenant people
22:59.02murbSome of our clients employees are hmm bad.
22:59.04highburyand the worthless permanent people ...
22:59.13murbhighbury: and there seem to be many many many of them.
22:59.54murbdo we still have a bot logging everything to the web?
23:00.01Leedsyes
23:00.22highburyits a shame there should be lots of opportunities for Linux jobs for old Unix hands, who have the years of good experience, and knowledge of best practices
23:00.32*** mode/#gllug [+o Leeds] by ChanServ
23:01.16murbhighbury: yeah, It is scary the number of people who don't belive in fully automated installation and basic stuff like that.
23:04.45murbor jsut say ghost it...
23:04.46highburyor basic security, patching procedures
23:04.48murbhighbury: they are more likly to see that is important, but just don't do it.
23:04.48highburychange control...
23:04.48murbs/is/as/
23:04.48murbhighbury: they also know that is imporant, but don't know how to implemnent sensibel CC procedues
23:04.51highburymanual systems are a no-brainer, so there's no excuse, even if it is putting a change summary in config files
23:05.03murbhighbury: I'm thinking more of the "control" be rathern than just recording confs
23:07.21highburyoh well, I have to crash out, I have a baby feed at 5am :-)
23:07.40murbhighbury: you saw the buffer overflow in the cfengine daemon?
23:08.38Leedshighbury: g'night
23:08.49highburyI heard of a recent problem,  but I'm not using it actively myself at the moment, I did meet Mark Burgess and thought him a fine fellow
23:09.14murbyeah nn and good luck with your domestic tasks..
23:09.23LeedsI think having met and approved of the author of a piece of software is a major bonus :-)
23:10.02murbanoying irritating people can still write good software though.
23:11.11Leedsand, of course, the other way around... but it's still a useful pointer
23:11.47Leedsooh, Python just revved again... there's a good example - Guido seems to be a decent bloke :-)
