| 00:02.19 | jakea | samba is a standard module... so like hans said, you need to have it installed |
| 00:02.55 | jakea | it appears in Mandrake it just comes all in one with webmin cause I got mine working, as for Debian, it may be different |
| 00:03.19 | bonez39 | jakea: on, I apt-get installed webmin-samba..but still not sure how to proceed...how do I invoke that now, to start webmin-samba? |
| 00:04.55 | jakea | This is what I would try... |
| 00:05.13 | jakea | turn on webmin if it's not on |
| 00:05.17 | bonez39 | ok....what's strange, in windows, I can 'see' the linux machine.... |
| 00:05.21 | jakea | service webmin start |
| 00:05.30 | bonez39 | ok |
| 00:06.11 | jakea | then go to the browser again and log into webmin, see if the samba server stuff is now there OR if you have to enable the module |
| 00:07.11 | jakea | (since you now apparently have it installed, debian-wise) |
| 00:12.03 | bonez39 | jakea: I issue 'service webmin start' at a prompt and nothing happens..is that right? |
| 00:12.08 | bonez39 | where do I run that? |
| 00:12.21 | jakea | wait |
| 00:12.24 | bonez39 | ok |
| 00:12.27 | jakea | you're debian you said, right? |
| 00:12.33 | bonez39 | yeah, running debian 3.0 |
| 00:12.46 | jakea | oh. service is a RH / Mandrake thing |
| 00:12.49 | jakea | do... |
| 00:12.51 | bonez39 | ok... |
| 00:13.18 | bonez39 | I was able to load up the browser yesterday....with https://scott:10000/ |
| 00:13.27 | bonez39 | 'scott' being the name of the domain |
| 00:13.42 | jakea | /etc/rc.d/init.d/webmin restart |
| 00:13.54 | jakea | (as root of course) |
| 00:14.30 | jakea | then try loading it up in the browser |
| 00:15.13 | bonez39 | ok, webmin is restarted |
| 00:16.00 | bonez39 | ok, it started up...... |
| 00:16.12 | jakea | I was thinking you may have to restart it with the new install... that is unless apt-get did it for you |
| 00:16.18 | jakea | but it looks like you have it going... |
| 00:18.42 | bonez39 | ok......I'll poke around... |
| 00:19.33 | jakea | does it look like it installed (samba) ? |
| 00:20.03 | jakea | (er, the samba module for webmin I mean) |
| 00:22.32 | bonez39 | yeah, guess.. |
| 00:35.33 | bonez39 | how do I create a new samba user? |

| 16:05.59 | bonez39 | hans: I hate to ask your help...just tell me to fly if you'd rather not help.just trying to figure out my samba networking issues..I think they are coupled with the fact that the port 22 is not yet visible outside...for remote access...but I could be wrong |
| 16:07.11 | hans | sure. not likely coupled to that. tell me what you want samba to do, then tell me what the problem is. |
| 16:21.32 | sjansen | Should've brought my umbrella to work. |
| 16:22.36 | bonez39 | hans: I want samba to allow me to access shared directories on my linux box..and likewise, I'd like to be able to access shared directories on that windows box..from linux...would make it much easier than emailing the files back and forth.... |
| 16:22.39 | *** join/#utah neybar (~jalance@208.187.199.250) |
| 16:23.06 | hans | bonez39: step one is accessing windows shares from linux |
| 16:23.09 | bonez39 | hans: but in the larger sense, if I get this resolved, I believe it will allow remote access to work, with ssh...so I can log in here from home..or wherever |
| 16:23.20 | hans | i don't see the connection with ssh |
| 16:23.41 | bonez39 | hans: yes, I have installed samba, webmin-samba, smb(take your pick)...a bunch of samba and swat stuff... |
| 16:24.00 | hans | are you able to access swat? |
| 16:24.10 | hans | nevermind - you don't need swat to get to the windows shares |
| 16:24.18 | bonez39 | hans: perhaps none exists..but I confirmed with my ISP that they forwarded port 22..on my router...and yet you can't see my machine...when trying to connect remotely |
| 16:24.38 | bonez39 | before..when the shares worked..I had some smbfs entries in /etc/fstab |
| 16:24.43 | hans | make sure smbclient is installed |
| 16:24.55 | hans | and smbfs |
| 16:25.06 | bonez39 | those worked fine..I'd type mount /shareonwinboxname and it would ask the share pass and I was connected |
| 16:25.19 | bonez39 | smbclient is installed... |
| 16:25.25 | bonez39 | let me check though..hold on |
| 16:25.50 | bonez39 | yup, both smbfs and smbclient are installed |
| 16:26.14 | hans | so you should be able to do: |
| 16:26.22 | hans | smbclient //mywindowsmachinename |
| 16:27.45 | bonez39 | hans: that commands renders a list of options...help options...and says scott:/home/scott# smbclient //seth**\\seth: Not enough '\' characters in service* |
| 16:28.11 | hans | hmm. maybe smbclient //seth/ |
| 16:28.47 | bonez39 | that now says...Connection to seth failed |
| 16:29.17 | bonez39 | do I need to set up the mount points in /etc/smbfs first? and then mount -a? |
| 16:30.26 | hans | bonez39: no, we'll do mount points later |
| 16:30.54 | bonez39 | ok.... |
| 16:31.38 | hans | ls /var/log/samba | grep seth |
| 16:33.56 | bonez39 | ok, one moment. |
| 16:34.18 | bonez39 | it returns 'log.seth' |
| 16:34.23 | hans | look at it |
| 16:34.40 | bonez39 | ok, checking it now... |
| 16:35.38 | bonez39 | here it is: [2003/11/02 00:32:06, 0] printing/pcap.c:pcap_printer_fn(361) Unable to open printcap file /etc/printcap for read! |
| 16:35.50 | bonez39 | that's the sum total of log.seth |
| 16:37.02 | hans | do you have a password on seth? |
| 16:38.27 | bonez39 | well, yeah, I use the same pass on the shares on seth... |
| 16:38.40 | hans | try it with the password then. man smbclient |
| 16:38.42 | bonez39 | nothing globally...just on each share that's set up, for each partition/drive |
| 16:40.04 | bonez39 | says connection to seth failed... |
| 16:40.17 | bonez39 | I run zonealarm..let me flip all the protection off for a minute on the win box |
| 16:40.59 | hans | good idea |
| 16:41.50 | bonez39 | damn...I turned the zone alarm firewall off..now I can access that machine.. |
| 16:42.07 | bonez39 | so I guess that is what keeps me out...how do I tell the machine to allow me in? tell it the IP of this linux machine? |
| 16:42.23 | bonez39 | I can read the directories on the winbox now.. |
| 16:43.46 | bonez39 | what a dilemma |
| 16:44.35 | bonez39 | but I know I had it working before...and yet had the firewall working too |
| 16:48.57 | hans | bonez39: you can probably let the whole subnet in. e.g. 10.0.0.0/8 or 192.168.0.0/16 (depending on what internal addresses you use) |
| 16:49.14 | hans | your windows box isn't publicly addressable though, is it? so you probably don't need zonealarm running at all. |
| 16:49.17 | bonez39 | ok...I changed that subnet to allow the address here.. |
| 16:49.44 | bonez39 | no, not publically accessible..but I do get occasional ping hits.from unknown ip addresses..so I run it.. |
| 16:49.48 | hans | ok, now you can put things in /etc/fstab and mount away |
| 16:50.04 | hans | then you can do useful stuff. celebrate. :) |
| 16:50.17 | hans | i have to go, we can tackle samba as a server on linux later |
| 16:51.38 | bonez39 | well, that allows me in just fine....with those settings now in place... |

| 19:14.33 | sjansen | They rebroadcast two hours later for the West. (IIRC. It's been months since I've watched any TV.) |
| 19:15.35 | Hanuman | hans: 6 |
| 19:15.41 | hans | so 8/7c on the western feed is the same as 8 mountain/ 7 pacific? |
| 19:15.45 | neybar | I never did figure out the 8/7c thing |
| 19:15.49 | Hanuman | 8 is eastern time - mountain is 2 hours behind |

| 19:16.26 | hans | Hanuman: yes, but you generally find that the advertised deal is not on at 6 after all |

| 19:16.35 | hans | i do know there are two feeds - western and eastern |
| 19:17.02 | Hanuman | don't know then - usually the first number is eastern |
| 19:17.20 | Hanuman | even when I lived in Utah |
| 19:17.32 | Jayce^ | depends if you have cable or dish.. |
| 19:17.52 | Jayce^ | dish broadcasts all major stuff at eastern only.. a lot of cable reschedules to local time |
| 19:17.57 | tensai | IIRC Mountain shows at the same time as Central. So I bet 7. Pacific is the same as Eastern. I know it's coming on at 8. |

| 19:33.34 | tensai | I got the -j part. that seemed to work. is my work area still part of the RELEASE-0-2-0 branch or HEAD? If I commit, where do the changes go? |
| 19:33.57 | hans | depends on what revision you are working on when you do -j |
| 19:34.11 | hans | if you're working on HEAD, then the commit would go to HEAD |
| 19:34.35 | hans | -j merges into whatever you have checked out. (and will fail if you're not up-to-date, iirc) |
| 19:34.39 | tensai | I did a cvs co -r RELEASE-0-2-0; cvs -j HEAD |

| 19:37.55 | hans | then you want to do cvs co -r HEAD; cvs -j RELEASE-0-2-0; cvs tag -b RELEASE-0-2-1 |
| 19:38.04 | sjansen | But it sounds like he want to apply fixes from HEAD to an old release. |
| 19:38.14 | hans | although, if you were doing branches off of trunk, there shouldn't be anything to merge from rELEASE-0-2-0 |
| 19:38.29 | hans | or fixes off release 0.2.0 into the head |
| 19:39.11 | hans | Jayce^: how do you mean yes and no? |
| 19:39.45 | Jayce^ | some things are kinda cool, some are just cheesy |
| 19:39.49 | Jayce^ | to a geek |
| 19:40.39 | Jayce^ | figures, they ahve my box in the shop, and they can't get it to crash.. even took my drives out, and put in a windows one with known virii... still won't |
| 19:40.39 | levi | Yeah, antitrust was a bit cheesy. |
| 19:40.59 | levi | I watched it last year at a halloween party, of all times. |
| 19:41.30 | levi | If you're bored and don't have anything better to watch, it could be a decent diversion. |
| 19:42.09 | Jayce^ | yeah |

| 19:50.16 | Jayce^ | wow |
| 19:51.33 | Jayce^ | ppc xbox |
| 19:55.18 | levi | Heh, maybe that's the real reason they bought VirtualPC. |
| 19:55.41 | Jayce^ | they aren't porting, they are emulating :) |
| 19:56.55 | levi | They'd be stupid if new games had to run in emulation mode. |
| 19:58.29 | Hanuman | That alphaserver of Soren's is tempting |
| 20:00.07 | Jayce^ | I'll haul it .... :) |
| 20:03.25 | sjansen | It'd just sit in my kitchen annoying my roommates. |
| 20:03.58 | sjansen | Then again... put that way it sounds like a worthy result by itself. |
| 20:08.46 | Hanuman | sjansen: make a cool mod out of it and maybe your roommates won't notice |
| 20:11.45 | sjansen | They have been complaining about how much freezer space I've taken. If I combined it with a real mini-fridge... |
| 20:12.05 | tensai | arrr. I figured out my cvs problem. I was using cvs update -A in my branches because of my .cvsrc. That's why they don't show a sticky tag. |
| 20:12.52 | sjansen | http://website-beta.mozilla.org/ |
| 20:13.53 | Jayce^ | much better |
| 20:16.22 | Hanuman | sjansen: you could always mod it to be a real fridge in addition to a server |

| 23:31.20 | Dlugar | hi all. |
| 23:31.50 | Dlugar | I've noticed this "xargs" command on the uug list lately, and I've decided to try it out. |
| 23:32.03 | Dlugar | Unfortunately, it's not working correctly. Hopefully somebody can help me? |
| 23:32.25 | Dlugar | find . -size 0 | xargs rm |
| 23:32.41 | Dlugar | Basically that's what I'm doing--trying to delete all files in the directory with size of zero. |
| 23:33.22 | Dlugar | Unfortunately, this doesn't work. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? |
| 23:33.32 | Dlugar | I think it's because I've got whitespace in the filenames. |
| 23:33.52 | Dlugar | Hm. Is anybody active in this channel? |
| 23:34.12 | jason_u | I'm listening, but I've never used xargs :( |
| 23:34.27 | Dlugar | Blast. Oh well. Thanks for listening, anyway :-) |
| 23:34.42 | jason_u | I believe you can do what you're trying to do with find alone though |
| 23:34.53 | Dlugar | will 'find' delete files? |
| 23:35.47 | jason_u | there is a -exec option |
| 23:36.42 | Dlugar | find . -size 0 -exec rm |
| 23:36.42 | Dlugar | find: missing argument to `-exec' |
| 23:36.44 | Dlugar | ? |
| 23:37.04 | jason_u | let me see... |
| 23:37.51 | *** join/#utah HarleyPig (~JS@65.105.156.40) |
| 23:37.55 | jason_u | try backquotes |
| 23:38.01 | jason_u | ````` |
| 23:38.15 | Dlugar | you mean like: |
| 23:38.18 | HarleyPig | I come in and someone starts swearing! |
| 23:38.18 | Dlugar | <PROTECTED> |
| 23:38.19 | Dlugar | rm: too few arguments |
| 23:38.20 | Dlugar | ? |
| 23:38.37 | Dlugar | hp: do you know how to use xargs? |
| 23:39.04 | Dlugar | I'm trying to delete all files of size zero in a directory. |
| 23:39.07 | Dlugar | Not having much luck. |
| 23:39.29 | jason_u | I found this: http://librenix.com/?inode=3198 |
| 23:39.51 | Dlugar | http://www.ale.org/archive/ale/ale-2002-07/msg00740.html |
| 23:39.54 | Dlugar | I just found this. |
| 23:40.01 | Dlugar | It doesn't look hopeful :-P |
| 23:42.07 | jason_u | find . -size 0 -exec rm {} \; |
| 23:42.23 | Dlugar | woohoo! |
| 23:42.28 | Dlugar | Looks like that worked. |
| 23:42.33 | Dlugar | Thanks a ton! |
| 23:43.36 | Dlugar | funny, I tried: find . -size 0 -exec rm {} |
| 23:43.36 | Dlugar | and I tried: find . -size 0 -exec rm \; |
| 23:43.36 | Dlugar | but never the two together. |
