**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Aug 05 23:59:56 2005 Aug 06 06:31:13 folks Aug 06 06:31:22 how do you best poer off the slug? Aug 06 06:31:25 power Aug 06 06:37:04 hm using a remote power switch :-) Aug 06 09:27:38 hello, can I ask for some assistance right quick? Aug 06 09:28:53 what can I do, if I don't recall my login password for my unslung slug? Aug 06 10:23:32 Hi there folks Aug 06 10:25:22 anyone here any good with postfix? Aug 06 10:26:20 *wateches the tumbleweed roll past* ....@ ........... .. .... @ Aug 06 11:47:13 Who's awake? :) Aug 06 11:49:50 nobody ;-) Aug 06 11:49:56 I'm interested to talk to anyone who has managed to get postfix up and running on their NSLU2 .. Aug 06 11:50:02 please form an orderly queue Aug 06 11:50:07 :)) Aug 06 11:51:21 ipkg install postfix, edit some conf files, and it's running Aug 06 11:52:26 I've given it a go - I'm getting problems with one of the parameters .. I think it was setguid_group Aug 06 11:52:37 *setgid_group Aug 06 11:53:46 Its set to mail drop but it causes an error when I restart postfix after I've amended main.cf Aug 06 11:55:22 hm, normally postfix postinstaller should add a group maildrop to /etc/group Aug 06 11:56:13 perhaps I should re install Aug 06 11:56:57 so, is there a group maildrop in your /etc/group file? Aug 06 11:57:38 one second - just checking (very slow - not too used to linux) Aug 06 11:57:45 and, if i remember right, postfix depends on package adduser, which is used to add users and groups Aug 06 11:58:59 no entry for maildrop Aug 06 12:00:25 Is this a group I could create with the web front end for the NSLU2? Aug 06 12:01:30 <--- appreciates that he's probably making an arse out of himself Aug 06 12:02:34 whats about the group mail, does this group exist? Aug 06 12:03:10 yep mail is there ... mail:x:12:mail Aug 06 12:03:43 well, so you could add this line Aug 06 12:03:44 maildrop:x:69: Aug 06 12:03:51 to your /etc/group Aug 06 12:04:14 ok, I'll give that a go :) Aug 06 12:04:34 and then you should check the permissions in /opt/var/spool/postfix Aug 06 12:05:05 should look like these Aug 06 12:05:06 drwx------ 6 mail mail 4096 Jul 28 22:35 active Aug 06 12:05:06 drwx------ 2 mail mail 4096 Jul 22 02:15 bounce Aug 06 12:05:06 -rw------- 1 root root 63 Aug 6 20:59 c Aug 06 12:05:06 drwx------ 2 mail mail 4096 Jul 22 02:15 corrupt Aug 06 12:05:06 drwx------ 3 mail mail 4096 Jul 28 21:39 defer Aug 06 12:05:10 drwx------ 3 mail mail 4096 Jul 28 21:40 deferred Aug 06 12:05:12 drwx------ 3 mail mail 4096 Jul 28 21:40 flush Aug 06 12:05:14 drwx------ 2 mail mail 4096 Jul 22 02:15 hold Aug 06 12:05:16 drwx------ 6 mail mail 4096 Jul 28 22:35 incoming Aug 06 12:05:18 drwx-wx--- 2 mail maildrop 4096 Jul 22 02:15 maildrop Aug 06 12:05:20 drwxr-xr-x 2 mail mail 4096 Jul 28 21:39 pid Aug 06 12:05:22 drwx------ 2 mail mail 4096 Jul 28 21:52 private Aug 06 12:05:24 drwx--x--- 2 mail maildrop 4096 Jul 28 21:52 public Aug 06 12:05:27 drwx------ 2 mail mail 4096 Jul 22 02:15 saved Aug 06 12:05:28 drwx------ 2 mail mail 4096 Jul 22 02:15 trace Aug 06 12:08:21 thanks for that - I'll hop to it (just put a curry in the oven) Aug 06 12:08:36 np Aug 06 12:11:54 ok .. new error now relating to permissions. I'll check opt/var/spool/postfix as advised Aug 06 12:14:07 empty ... I wonder what I did wrong? Aug 06 12:17:19 dunno, but it may be a good idea, to do reinstall of this package. and i'm wrong, postfix didn't depends on addusers, the postinstaller add the group independently Aug 06 12:24:07 sry cap I made a mistake - I guess the permissions check was on the folder .. how do I check that? Aug 06 12:25:21 cd /opt/var/spool/postfix Aug 06 12:25:23 ls -la Aug 06 12:25:48 thanks :-) Aug 06 12:26:24 yep - all the permissions are missing. I will do a reinstall. Thanks for your help. Aug 06 12:37:31 that did the trick - thanks cap. You're a star Aug 06 12:38:08 np Aug 06 12:38:43 time to log off .. the wife is nagging me. I don't understand why she doesn't find this fun Aug 06 12:38:45 :) Aug 06 13:57:45 anybody have any experience with proftpd? Aug 06 14:00:08 why? Aug 06 14:08:20 i cant find the .pid file Aug 06 14:08:48 i'm not even sure it was created Aug 06 14:09:15 did you start proftpd from inetd or standalone? Aug 06 14:10:13 i am trying to start it from inetd Aug 06 14:10:22 and, in the conf file isn't anything about a pid file... Aug 06 14:10:34 well, so what is your target Aug 06 14:10:53 in the conf file ......standalone? Aug 06 14:11:00 is this what you are asking Aug 06 14:11:35 no, why youĂ„re asking about the pid file of proftpd, this must have any reason Aug 06 14:12:19 it is my understanding that there should be a proftpd.pid file Aug 06 14:12:34 this is what i use for xinetd to start ptoftpd Aug 06 14:12:39 why, as a sign, that proftpd is running? Aug 06 14:13:47 maybe i should ask my question this way... how do i get proftp to run at startup? Aug 06 14:14:39 if you start it via inetd, then it runs if its needed, so without any inbound ftp connection, there is no proftpd in the process list Aug 06 14:14:51 ServerType inetd Aug 06 14:14:56 ? Aug 06 14:15:15 this is correct? Aug 06 14:16:15 yepp, starting from inetd or xinetd Aug 06 14:16:55 i dont see any hook or diversion to say read the proftp.pid Aug 06 14:17:15 there is no proftp.pid in the /var/run Aug 06 14:17:18 there no reason for that Aug 06 14:17:46 did you use inetd wich comes with the slug, or have you installed inetutils? Aug 06 14:18:08 i havent installed inetutils Aug 06 14:18:20 i thought this would confuse things Aug 06 14:19:07 Problem booting from newly formatted hard drive - advice? Aug 06 14:19:29 k, so you need to edit your /etc/inetd.conf, respectivly, you need a divertionscript, which do this for you Aug 06 14:19:47 ZaperNut, which firmware? Aug 06 14:20:03 ok i will try. thanks Aug 06 14:20:04 UnSlung 5.15 (the newest) Aug 06 14:20:38 ZaperNut, you may want to read this http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/7489 Aug 06 14:20:49 seems to be ok with linksys web admin and booting unit then puting in the hard drive. Aug 06 14:21:52 oops dropped out - what link again? Aug 06 14:22:01 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/7489 Aug 06 14:22:32 seanzilla, have you read this http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/Proftpd? Aug 06 14:22:49 hm, tooo fast Aug 06 14:25:28 7489 - looks like I should reflash - all other thing tried alreay.-- Thank you Aug 06 14:26:30 Be back later to let you know caplink. Aug 06 14:26:48 just write it down, the logger is here Aug 06 14:27:02 in my tz its time to head off to bed Aug 06 16:27:02 ipkg update is getting error 1, which i see in the FAQ could be a DNS setting problem, but i don't understand that -- those DNS settings are set in the slug web interface? Aug 06 16:31:00 i am not running dhcp. my linux server has firewall, is connected to dsl modem, and there's a little hub on the server on which the slug and other computers are attached. Aug 06 16:39:31 firewall prob maybe Aug 06 16:56:01 if I want to use a java app on unslung, should i install jvm? Aug 06 16:56:12 er, jamvm Aug 06 17:48:27 geojeff: can you ping ipkg.nslu2-linux.org from the slug ?

Aug 06 17:52:07 geojeff: seems to work for me Aug 06 17:52:24 dns issue? Aug 06 17:52:28 Airw0lf, i have network setup or firewall prob on my local network. Aug 06 17:52:45 yes, probably. Aug 06 17:52:45 oh Aug 06 17:53:20 can u ping the ip address itself? Aug 06 17:53:29 openslug2.3 doesn't seem to have a shadow file. Did anybody run into this? Aug 06 17:54:22 Also got an issue with trying to install the mysql ipkg : Aug 06 17:54:22 Airw0lf, no, nothing from 66.159.209.6 Aug 06 17:54:56 ok it looks like you can't access anything outside your LAN? Aug 06 17:55:15 is your slug behind a DSL/cable modem router? Aug 06 17:55:24 i can on other machines on my lan Aug 06 17:55:56 in the linksys webadmin, have you set your dns server? Aug 06 17:56:09 i didn't understand that bit Aug 06 17:56:36 you know the web administration page for the NSLU2 Aug 06 17:57:05 yeah, i see the dns settings for primary and backup 1 and 2 Aug 06 17:57:10 http://x.x.x.x/ - where x.x.x.x is the local ip of the NSLU2 Aug 06 17:57:27 i have a feeling that unslung linux makes use of those settings Aug 06 17:57:53 so it will need to know your dns server, your default gateway and subnet mask Aug 06 17:58:23 ok, so i should set it up the same as my other machines, for my dsl modem etc. Aug 06 17:58:38 i tried that, but must've not done it correctly Aug 06 17:58:42 yes i would recommend trying that and rebooting. who knows, it may not help at all Aug 06 17:58:47 but it's worth a try Aug 06 17:59:19 what are the settings you have in there at the moment? Aug 06 18:00:16 i am trying to find my dns settings again Aug 06 18:00:49 your dns server should be the ip address of your router Aug 06 18:01:24 ah, ok, i was using the wrong address Aug 06 18:01:38 so, just basic setup requirement Aug 06 18:01:53 try that and see Aug 06 18:02:00 it might help to reboot the slug as well Aug 06 18:03:35 yeah, trying now Aug 06 18:08:44 hope it works Aug 06 18:16:15 yep, that did it. thx. Aug 06 18:16:51 geojeff: did it work? Aug 06 18:17:22 yeah, ipkg update worked Aug 06 18:17:32 cool Aug 06 18:22:03 http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/result.php?query=nohup&searchtype=file§ion= shows nohup for unslung and openslug Aug 06 18:23:05 rwhitby-away: oh thanks...i could have sworn my search turned up nothing! Aug 06 18:23:49 ahh it's found in coreutils Aug 06 18:24:24 i didn't search within pkgs Aug 06 18:35:59 for the first package to install, i did ipkg python. it downloaded the python and libstdc++ ipk files, then said 'nothing to be done' then gave error ret val 22, and said libstdc++ failed to download. ? Aug 06 18:36:17 (after doing unslung) Aug 06 18:38:51 ah, i see that it is a known prob -- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/7905 Aug 06 18:39:11 with ++ in the pkg name Aug 06 21:15:40 ByronT, I now have two working slugs :) Last night I drove to Houston to get a new one, and today got it unslung. And, just now I put unslung on the one that wasn't seeing drives, and now it works. Aug 06 21:16:01 a slug farmer already! Aug 06 21:16:07 hehe Aug 06 21:16:28 a couple more, and you'll be a slug commander (of a slug army) Aug 06 21:16:59 hey, do i make one of them .78 instead of .77, or is it not as simple as that to have them both on the same LAN? Aug 06 21:17:15 they do need to have unique ips Aug 06 21:17:45 cool Aug 06 21:18:01 when you get really comfortable with them, you'll need to de-underclock them, and maybe go ahead and add a serial port Aug 06 21:19:00 yeah, been reading about that. Aug 06 21:19:13 the serial port mod is one of the coolest.... Aug 06 21:19:36 i found a 1 gb flash disk at Sam's Club for $59. Aug 06 21:20:07 how much approximate data can you fit in 1gb? Aug 06 21:20:13 799 Aug 06 21:20:17 froglogging that is... Aug 06 21:20:44 that's what it showed in the web interface as available after unslung firmware Aug 06 21:21:45 I meant how much data - for froglogging... Aug 06 21:22:20 oh, well i know that the frog loggers designed to work with the new minidisc recorders don't have much more than that, so it would be feasible to do something. Aug 06 21:22:59 i've heard of ppl doing 1 min per hour Aug 06 21:23:27 maybe see if someone at Sandisk would be interested in donating some flash sticks for research.... Aug 06 21:23:28 i need to check into FLAC lossless compression and the like Aug 06 21:23:50 they have some 4GB sticks IIRC (I could be wrong) Aug 06 21:24:36 yes they do, and also some 5 gb things that are small, about as big as a mouse **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Aug 06 23:59:57 2005
