15:04.24SunSparc~monday
15:04.25ibotit has been said that monday is when everything breaks for no apparent reason, creating so many problems that it takes you until friday to get back to normal. at which point one more thing breaks that takes you the whole weekend to fix, or and on a more positive note, Monday is a brand new day at the beginning of a brand new week, a place to start over and improve on last week.  :)
15:05.24Lone_WandererI like the second definition better.
15:05.46Lone_WandererEven though the war against entropy is a losing battle.
15:05.53Lone_WandererIn the long run.

15:47.30thinbeginhowdy y'all.....
15:48.17thinbeginanyone have much experience with rhel5 & postfix?
15:48.37thinbeginif so, i gotta a question :)
15:59.40thinbeginwow... i guess not.
16:00.03SunSparcI have played with RedHat, but not postfix.  :)
16:00.46unumI'v used both
16:00.47thinbeginsunsparc: thx for the reply. it was getting cold in there
16:00.55unumbut I don't know if I'd say I'm experienced
16:01.04SunSparcthinbegin: np, heh
16:01.27thinbeginunum: well, let me throw you [and everyone] a question...
16:01.50thinbeginpostfix can be configured to use mysql
16:02.51thinbegini am wondering if anyone knows of a way to convert the postifx mysql data into non-mysql hash data [or whatever postfix can use]
16:03.08thinbeginbecause in rhel5 - postfix doesn't have mysql
16:03.44unumwhat are you using mysql for?
16:03.50unumusernames?
16:04.01unumdomain names, email storage?
16:04.12thinbeginit holds aliases, mailbox names, domain names, etc
16:04.15thinbeginyeah
16:04.30thinbegintypically found in /etc/postfix/ files
16:04.42unumso that stuff is all plain text in those files
16:05.17unumso you could out put to plain text, but I don't know of any scripts to do that
16:05.27thinbeginyeah, kinda. but there are some hashes that aren't so cut-n-dry
16:05.46thinbeginand another concern is
16:06.27thinbegini don't feel entirely comfortable mucking about with /etc/aliases and /etc/passwords etc
16:06.27unumI'm not sure what you mean by hashes
16:06.43unumno reason to be afraid of /etc/aliases
16:06.50thinbeginafraid of system side effects
16:06.52unum/etc/passwords is scary
16:06.58thinbeginright
16:07.11unumI would probably consider recompiling postfix at this point
16:07.28thinbeginyeah. that's my other option...
16:07.30unumthey really ship postfix without a database option?
16:07.34unumi hate them even more now
16:07.48thinbeginthe problem with that is then the host won't "manage" upgrades/patches
16:07.55unumah
16:08.16thinbegintheir official word is that it "increases package dependency"
16:08.19DexterTheDragonhttp://blog.defunct.ca/?p=38
16:08.42thinbeginbut that's silly... they default with dovecot [which depends mysql]
16:08.45unumdoes it not have ANY datebase support?
16:08.53unumdatabase
16:09.01thinbegini think it may, i don't remember
16:09.08thinbeginonly was looking at/for mysql
16:09.24thinbeginstupid redhat
16:09.46thinbeginyeah, i read that blog entry too
16:10.07thinbeginagain, i'd love my host to manage the package though
16:10.14beandoghttp://a3li.info/wp-content/uploads/centosbooth.jpg
16:10.14beandoglol
16:10.16beandogthat is awesome.
16:10.16thinbeginif i customize, then they won't
16:10.26unumI REALLY recommend linode
16:10.36thinbeginlol
16:10.40unumbtw thanks who ever got me my froo month last month
16:19.16thinbeginunum: thx for the thoughts. i'll keep digging
16:26.40unums/froo/free
16:29.05thebigdogthinbegin: did you get your postfix questions answered?
16:29.49thinbeginthebigdog: uhhhh. still kinda searchin around
16:30.03thebigdogwhat is your question again?
16:30.56thinbegini'm looking for a way to convert postifx mysql data into non-mysql hash data [or whatever postfix can use]
16:31.20thinbeginas rhel5 doesn't offer a postfix+mysql package
16:34.48thebigdogdoes rhel5 have postfix+pgsql?
16:35.13thebigdogwhat mysql data are you using?
16:35.19*** join/#uphpu P0eticIntens1ty (n=jason@67.214.232.162)
16:35.48thinbeginit's holding all the mailboxes, aliases, virtual domains, etc
16:36.08thebigdogi am not aware of a tool to that conversion
16:36.22thebigdogthe only thing you could do would be to write a script for it
16:36.25thinbeginand no. i don't think rhel5 does offer any db for postfix
16:36.41thebigdoganother reason i love centos
16:36.50thinbeginthey don't wanna increase the postfix dependency list
16:36.53thinbeginheh
16:37.09thebigdogyou could use php or python, ruby or anything to pull the data out and write the fils
16:37.13thinbeginyarp. rhel5 ftl [in this scenario]
16:37.20thebigdogthen just convert to hash file via postfix commands
16:37.43thebigdogyou just need to make sure that the file is created correctly
16:38.22thinbeginright. that's the one bit. the second bit is that i don't wanna break anything messing with some of the system files
16:38.41thebigdogyou can include them in the postfix conf file
16:38.47thebigdogso you dont need to mess theirs up
16:38.54thinbegini think i'd have to muck with /etc/passwords and that is daunting
16:38.55thebigdogyou could even do sym links
16:39.11thebigdognope there is virtual users via hash
16:39.12thinbeginthe symlink is a good thought
16:39.39thebigdogcan you do postfix + ldap?
16:39.52thebigdoghttp://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox
16:40.01thinbeginall right... so, i nab the data... then i just try to duplicate formatting
16:40.19thinbegindunno about the ldap option with redhat
16:40.30thebigdogyeah i would try that
16:40.44thebigdoghash files might be a pain but is doable
16:40.55thebigdogif you have questions ping me
16:41.06thinbeginyeah. that's y i was hoping for a util :)

17:01.27mgearyfungus: i just did a dig domain.com at my ns2 machine, and in the Additional Section, it had the old IP address for my ns1 machine
17:01.31mgearywhy would it do that?
17:01.33fungusmgeary: that's not a problem, you just need to update the slave configs with the new master IP
17:01.41mgearywell, i did
17:01.43mgearylong ago
17:01.52mgeary...at least, i did in named.conf
17:01.56mgearyanywhere else i need to change?
17:02.10fungusDid you change the IP for the actual DNS record itself as well?
17:02.23fungusThe A record for ns1.domain.com
17:02.28mgearyyes
17:03.07fungusIs the slave process working?

18:00.38Lone_WandererIt just took iTunes 24 seconds (I counted, with the help of the computer's clock) to respond to a button click.
18:00.59Lone_Wanderer(The "Play" button.)
18:01.19Lone_WandererThis is not within the window of response times which I consider acceptable.
18:02.08Lone_WandererI don't know exactly where the line is, but I do know that 24 seconds is over it.
18:05.35mgearyyou know, folks who think that accuracy IMPROVES when they disable pasting into a field are up in the night
18:06.16Lone_Wanderer....?
18:06.21Lone_WandererSomeone actually thinks that?

18:37.04unumso lets say I had a database with two tables
18:37.11utahconjustincarmony: utahcon
18:37.13unumboth tables store a begin time and and end time
18:37.35unumso the first table could be a clock in table
18:37.54unumso the start time would be the time you got to work and the end time would be when you left
18:38.19unumand the second table would consist of the time you spent on a specific project
18:39.04unumso I have special cases where I don't know the real end and begin times for a project but I do know the number of hours
18:39.28unumI need to insert these special cases into the second table which may already have times in it
18:39.33unumdoes that make sense?

22:33.31Lone_Wandereroh man
22:33.43Lone_WandererThat song always reminds me of My So-Called Life
22:37.57beandogthat was an interesting show
22:39.52Lone_WandererIt made me love Claire Danes forever and ever amen.
22:40.03beandogI was gonna say, she was hawt.

22:41.59Lone_WandererThat's kind of backwards but okay.
22:42.04beandog~Lone_Wanderer++
22:44.17Lone_WandererOne time I took a lunch break that was three months long.
22:46.36beandogdid your salad put you in a coma?
22:46.41Lone_Wandererno
22:46.52Lone_WandererI got a call at the restaurant
22:46.57Lone_WandererI think it was Apollo Burger
22:47.13Lone_Wandererand had to go help take care of something (my grandpa had cancer)
22:47.13beandogThat place is never as good as I think its gonna be.
22:47.15Lone_Wandererand then
22:47.26Lone_WandererI dunno stuff just kept happening and pretty soon I'm in Las Vegas
22:47.36Lone_Wandererand then my friend was like "I have a friend in Canada we should visit"
22:47.54Lone_Wandererand flights were cheap so we flew up to BC
22:48.08Lone_Wandererwhen I came back my desk was just the way I'd left it and they were like
22:48.15SunSparcSounds like a Seinfield episode
22:48.20Lone_Wanderer"Hey welcome back!" and there was a new guy there
22:48.22beandogsrsly
22:48.30Lone_Wandererhe'd been doing my job
22:49.05Lone_WandererI stayed.  He didn't.
22:49.12beandogbuh
22:49.14beandogare you serious
22:49.15Lone_WandererThat was the most awesome thing ever.
22:49.22SunSparcHe probably was not happy to see you.
22:49.26Lone_Wandererhaha no
22:49.27beandogthats about the coolest story I've heard in a long time
22:49.30Lone_WandererI felt bad but
22:49.43Lone_Wandererit was hard to be too sympathetic because I'd just won life pretty much
22:50.05DexterTheDragonrofl
22:50.08DexterTheDragonthats awesome
22:50.12Lone_WandererThat business was messed up anyway.
22:50.25beandogI moved to Utah on a whim.
22:50.34Lone_Wandererfrom where?
22:50.39beandogI just decided to quit my job one day and leave.
22:50.41beandogGeorgia.
22:50.49beandogpacked everything I owned in my car and moved out here with no job.
22:50.59beandogThat was fun.
22:51.01beandog:)
22:51.04Lone_Wanderercool
22:51.07Lone_WandererI endorse this kind of behavior.
22:51.08beandogwell, minus the unemployment.
22:51.12Lone_WandererWhere in Georgia?
22:51.15beandogDuluth
22:51.26beandogactually I think I was living in Lawrenceville
22:51.45Lone_WandererI do not know Duluth, GA.  Only Duluth, MN.
22:51.56Lone_WandererI am not certain but I suspect that Duluth, MN is a manlier town.
22:52.07Lone_WandererOnly because it's hard to get manlier than Duluth, MN.
22:53.10Lone_WandererI guess if it were on the Arctic instead of Lake Superior and wrestling bears were the official sport, then maybe.
22:53.10beandogI didnt know towns could be manly
22:53.43Lone_WandererGo to Duluth, you'll see what I mean.
22:53.52beandogcan men be townly?
22:54.14Lone_WandererThey mine taconite and load it up on gigantic ships there, which then sail across Lake Superior to Duluth
22:54.20Lone_Wanderertaconite is a kind of iron ore
22:55.21beandogtaconite?
22:55.39Lone_Wandereryeah there's an iron range up in northern Minnesota
22:55.44Lone_Wandererso much iron that compasses don't work
22:55.59SunSparcI bet my iPhone compass would work.
22:55.59beandogo.O
22:55.59mindjujuyou can also get chalupas on taconite
22:56.02Lone_Wandererand the ore comes out in the form of little round rocks that make perfect slingshot ammo
22:56.04beandogLone_Wanderer's stories never get dull
22:56.09SunSparcmindjuju: LOL
22:56.14Lone_WandererSunSparc: If it's magnetic, it wouldn't, I promise.
22:56.17mindjuju:)
22:56.18Lone_WandererGPS would work fine.
22:56.26SunSparcmindjuju: Still LOL
22:56.34SunSparcROFL
22:57.09SunSparcI don't think anyone else caught that.
22:57.20mindjujuthat's what i get for joining a conversation late
22:57.28SunSparc:)
22:57.39Lone_Wandererhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taconite
22:57.59Lone_WandererThey haul it in trains too, and there were tracks by my house so any time we needed slingshot ammo we'd go down and pick up loads of taconite
22:58.16Lone_Wanderera little bit spills out every time a train goes past so it just kind of builds up over time
23:01.55beandogsoon it will pollute the local population and turn them into mutants
23:02.12beandogon the plus side, local tourism will flourish
23:02.17mindjujubeandog, it's already happened
23:02.19mindjujuCHUD
23:03.01Lone_Wandereractually
23:03.04mindjujuhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqDToaLuJ7I
23:03.09Lone_WandererDuluth-ites are kind of freaks
23:03.25mindjujuhomer simpson refers to them in an episode
23:03.41Lone_WandererSeriously?
23:04.36Lone_WandererThose CHUDs are nasty.
23:04.41mindjujuyeah, the epsisode where he has to go to new york to retrieve his car
23:04.51mindjujuthey have to get out before dark because of chud
23:05.21Lone_Wandererahh
23:05.29mgearysounds like I Am Legend
23:05.57Lone_Wandererthat's the one movie I can think of that was better than the book
