im using ltsp with kubuntu, and while the kde sounds work (like when i log in) neither konqueror nor firefox's audio make it to the client
00:32
firefox doesnt really surprise me but kubuntu does
00:32
err, i mean konqueror
00:33alkisg has joined #ltsp
00:34
<FuriousGeorge>
surely there is some way to change that, right?
00:34
<cyberorg>
FuriousGeorge, install libflashsupport
00:34
<sbalneav>
Yup, that'll fix the firefox
00:35
<FuriousGeorge>
libflash? ill try it next time im there in the morning... that isn't the same thing as the flash-plugin i manually installed for ff?
00:36
(and konqui)
00:36japerry has joined #ltsp
00:36
<sbalneav>
no, libflashsupport is to redirect the flash plugin to use alsa/pulseaudio
00:39

hi, I have a question relating to ltsp and nfs
01:43
on the client I am getting an error: nfsmount: error mounting 172.31.100.254:/opt/ltsp/i386 on /sysroot as nfs: Bad file descriptor
01:44
on the server I'm getting: mountd[27536]: authenticated mount request from 172.31.100.100:601 for /opt/ltsp/i386 (/opt/ltsp)
01:45
is this the right place to ask?

hi, does someone know how to activate local harddiscs on ltsp-clients?
02:23
[default] LOCALDEV=True is in my lts.conf
02:23
but how do i access the local device on the client?
02:24
the idea behind is taking images of local harddisks via mondobackup, dd etc
02:26
or f. ex. crash recovery on Windows pcs not booting

hi, anyone knowledgable around?
06:06
need some help with access to local harddiscs in ltsp-clients
06:06
[default] LOCALDEV=True is set in lts.conf
06:07
<nubae>
!docs
06:07
<ltspbot>
nubae: "docs" is For the most current documentation, see http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream
06:07
<nubae>
the last part of the docs shows how to do that
06:07
its in the Appendix
06:08
<feinbein>
i have read it but there is no info on how to access localdiscs
06:09
i just found the parameter for the lts.conf but not how you access a lokal sata or ide disc
06:09
if i look at /dev/sda1 i get whats on the servers bootpartition
06:09
<ogra>
section 26.1
06:12mikkel has quit IRC
06:12
<feinbein>
i did exactly that but nothing changed in my clients. How can I now access the disk? Like for ex. to take an image of the entire disk

hey, I'm being asked, how is dbus-launch works in ltsp
07:31alkisg has joined #ltsp
07:35warren has joined #ltsp
07:36dmaran has joined #ltsp
07:37
<ogra>
nubae, it attaches to the servers system dbus
07:37
<nubae>
hmm anyone know if dbus is launched with ----exit-with-session
07:37
<ogra>
which is suboptimal
07:37
<nubae>
I'm trying to debug sugar, which keeps its dbus running after log out
07:38
<ogra>
we dont run dbus explicitly
07:38
the systems session is responsible for that
07:38
(gnome-session and the kde equivalent do that)
07:40
<Blinny>
Yeah dbus died for me this morning too.
07:40
<nubae>
any idea, what could cause sessions to keep running after logging out? (on sugar that is)
07:40
it stops collaboration working :-(
07:40
<ogra>
nubae, i think you need to convince whatever session manager sugar uses to use dbus
07:41bjohnson has joined #ltsp
07:41
<nubae>
it does use dbus
07:41
<ogra>
well, make it use --exit-with-session
07:41
tahts what gnome does at least
07:44
<nubae>
so with gnome, it definetly dies, right?
07:44
so u think this is sugar's session manager that has problems?

07:56X0d_of_N0d_ has joined #ltsp
08:02
<nubae>
fixed... doing dbus-launch sugar-shell --exit-with-session
08:03
<ogra>
sweet, the new ubuntu logout process works very well, no hanging processes at all
08:03
sbalneav, looks like the hanging procs issues are solved in intrepid
08:03
<nubae>
nice
08:08
so running sugar, launches 2 dbus sessions
08:08* ogra guesses it has some builtin mechanism already
08:09
<nubae>
well sugar launches one, where is the other one coming from?
08:09
<ogra>
are you sure thats not the system bus ?
08:10
<nubae>
run by user... and both die on exit, so dont think so
08:10
btw... do we have ck-launch-session ?

<jammcq>
Scottty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
08:47
<sbalneav>
Xsession < /dev/null > /dev/null solves them in Hardy too!
08:47
hey jammcq!
08:47
<ogra>
sbalneav, in the wrong place though :)
08:48
gnome-session not cleaning up its mess was the main issue ... though it will help with other session managers as well
08:48
sbalneav, does that work with arguments given to Xsession like we call it now ?
08:48
<sbalneav>
When I did the < > /dev/null, everything but the gvs-fuse thing exited cleanly
08:48
and that's a known bug for it.,
08:49
<ogra>
so, "Xsession default < /dev/null > /dev/null" works as well ?
08:49
<sbalneav>
yup, that's what I did! sweet
08:50
<ogra>
great
08:50
<sbalneav>
I also exited the session with the ssh -O exit, and that worked well.
08:50
<ogra>
try also with direct paths to session binaries please, thats what we'll do soon by default
08:51
<sbalneav>
I'll push a branch with my changes today for the -trunk, and I'll work up a patch + file a bug for hardy.
08:51
ok, I'll check that too.
08:51
<ogra>
since default is just a magic word
08:51
resulting in a no-op for ubuntu, but important on fedora i think
08:52
<sbalneav>
so Xsession /usr/bin/mygoofysession < /dev/null > /dev/null
08:52
<ogra>
right
08:52
<sbalneav>
gotcha
08:52
I'll test it today/tonight.
08:52
<ogra>
in ubuntu default is ignored and it will just do what it does anyway
08:52
<sbalneav>
right.
08:53* ogra has to rush out
08:53* sbalneav is so happy
08:53
<jammcq>
doing the happy dance?
08:54* Gadi claps for sbalneav
08:54
<sbalneav>
That'll solve a lot of problems, methinks
08:54
<Gadi>
sbalneav: also check that it still writes to ~/.xsession-errors
08:54bjohnson has quit IRC
08:54* Gadi is not sure if that comes from stdout as well as stderr
08:55
<sbalneav>
I checked that, it only redirects 2> to .xsession-errors
08:55
but yeah, I'll double check it
08:55
When I got it working at 1 am, I just went to bed happy at that point :)

Are there any customized version of the ltsp client distro that has an integrated NX client?

I'm starting to think that using NX's compression would help a lot of problems with speed and resources that I'm facing with the default LTSP setup

when I enter to the localdev folder in the desktop, it is empty
10:54japerry has quit IRC

<sbalneav>
Well, maybe there's no files on the device you're looking at :)
10:55

haha I check it in another machine
10:55
checked, there is a lot of files in the device.

it's usually 107

getent group fuse & paste
11:03

sbalneav, no

ok, seems legit.
11:05
<ogra>
sbalneav, so i could sure santa because he has an address ?
11:05
*sue
11:05
<sbalneav>
No
11:05
To be served with papers, there has to be a REAL address with a REAL person there.
11:06
The legal system takes that sort of thing very seriously.
11:06
<ogra>
well, if you write a letter to santa claus, nortpole it will likely get somewhere :)
11:06
*north
11:07
millions of children surely do that every year
11:07
<sbalneav>
Right, but if you GO to the north pole, there isn't a gingerbread house there, with a jolly old fat man in red jumpers there. :)
11:07
<cliebow>
He IS Real!
11:07
<ogra>
there has to be
11:07
<sbalneav>
No, he's in Canada
11:07
<ogra>
heh
11:07
<sbalneav>
We keep him in Northern Manitoba. Well kept secret.
11:07
Shhh
11:07
<profes>
sbalneav, I think you've never been in northpole, so you can't know :p
11:07
<cliebow>
Ohh you mean That North Pole
11:08
<sbalneav>
profes: How do *YOU* know I've never been to the north pole?
11:08
<profes>
since you think santa doesn't exist :P
11:08
<sbalneav>
Oh, I think he exists.
11:08
He's just not at the north pole.
11:08
Therefore, delivery of papers would fail.
11:09
At any rate
11:09
<profes>
may be in north pole papers are redirected

lets do a grep "ltsp" /proc/mounts, and paste that
11:09
<profes>
okok, but... what could I check about my problem
11:11
sbalneav, it returned nothing
11:11
I did it in an gui terminal
11:12
<sbalneav>
Well, the ltspfs filesystem isn't mounting then
11:12
so, something's the matter
11:12
<profes>
maybe the command was cat /proc/mounts | grep "ltsp" ?
11:12mikkel has joined #ltsp

<sbalneav>
that's the same as what I said
11:13

What server are you running? Ubuntu?
11:13
<profes>
rhel
11:14
<sbalneav>
What version of LTSP are you running?
11:14
LTSP5? or 4.2?
11:14
<profes>
4.2 (my terminals are too crappy)
11:15
<ogra>
sbalneav, ubunt would have had a uid > 1000 ;)
11:15
*ubuntu
11:15
<profes>
i already checked troubleshooting and all steps worked fine, so how could I remount ltspfs?
11:16
<sbalneav>
What did you check for troubleshooting?
11:17
<profes>
every steps (even reboot system, step 12)

11:18
<Gadi>
profes: is the filesystem ntfs?
11:18
<profes>
no, isnt
11:18
<Gadi>
the one on the local hard drive
11:18
<profes>
is fat32
11:18
<ogra>
is the device properly partitioned ?
11:18
<profes>
its an usb drive
11:18
yes, i have another machine and it worked fine there
11:19
<Gadi>
that does not mean it is partitioned
11:19
<profes>
it has the same hardware and software
11:19
<ogra>
is the device properly partitioned ?
11:19
<Gadi>
it is a thin client running ltsp 4.2?
11:19
<profes>
but i copy files into it, and then checked in 2 machines
11:19
<ogra>
(i didnt ask if it works elsewhere ;) )
11:20
<profes>
i think is prperly partitioned
11:20
Gadi, yes
11:20
<ogra>
so it mounts sdX1 and not sdX on the other machines ?
11:20
<Gadi>
profes: so on another thin client, it works, but on this thin client it does not
11:21
yeah, do that- plug it into the server and pastebot: dmesg|tail
11:21
<profes>
ok
11:23

profes: this is a USB flash drive or a USB hard drive?
11:25
<profes>
usb hard drive
11:26
<Gadi>
do dmesg|tail one more time
11:26
with it plugged in
11:26
are there any more messages?
11:27
<profes>
is the same message
11:27
<Gadi>
grep sd /proc/mounts
11:27
<profes>
just in case: the dmesg|tail that I did was with the device plugged in
11:27
<Gadi>
right
11:27
plugged into the server
11:28
<profes>
yed
11:28
*yes
11:28
<Gadi>
so, mount it on the server
11:28
<ltsppbot>
"profes" pasted "[root@clases ~]# grep sd /proc" (4 lines) at http://pastebot.ltsp.org/45
11:28
<Gadi>
sorry - browse the hard drive first
11:28
then just pastebot: cat /proc/mounts
11:29
<profes>
what do you mean with 'browse the hard drive first' ?
11:29
where do you want to see?
11:30
<Gadi>
I mean, make sure the hard drive is mounted
11:30
it won't appear in /proc/mounts if you just plug it in
11:30
(unless it automounts)
11:32
<profes>
:S i think i have problems here... according to dmesg|tail the two partitions should be sg0 and sg1 but when im trying to mount i got the message 'mount /dev/sg0 is not an block device', the same to sg1
11:33
(why sg* and not sda*, sdb*, etc..) ?
11:34
i'll try with an usb flash drive
11:35
<Gadi>
profes: can you browse files on the hard drive in nautilus?
11:35
read: graphical file browser
11:35
<profes>
Gadi, as you see, i cant mount it
11:36
<Gadi>
are you mounting it by hand?
11:36
from a terminal?
11:36
or using the volume manager?
11:36
<profes>
but, when i plugged it their icon appeared in desktop but empty
11:36
<Gadi>
(you told me before: (12:18:52 PM) profes: yes, i have another machine and it worked fine there)
11:37
<profes>
yes
11:37
thats true
11:37
<Gadi>
so, I am confused
11:37
doesn't "worked fine" == mounted?
11:38
<profes>
I have two identical machines, in the other machine it worked fine, showing files and such, plugged in clients. But in this machine when i plug in clients the icon appear in desktop but when I browse with nautilus it shows empty
11:40
now, i have the drive plugged into the server
11:42
but i cannot mount, i dont know which device is, according to dmesg|tail the drive's partitions should be sg0 and sg1 (i was expecting sdb* or some), but when i trying to mount sg0 or sg1 i got 'mount: /dev/sg0 isnot a block device', the same to sg1
11:42
<sbalneav>
So, maybe you've just got a USB problem on that one machine
11:42
If it works fine on ANOTHER thin client, then you're setup is ok
11:43
Maybe you've just got a bad USB port
11:43
<profes>
now, ill try a standard usb flashdisk
11:43
in a client
11:43
let's see if i can browse the files
11:43
<Gadi>
you may also want to set up a shell session, too, on the client
11:43dmaran has left #ltsp
11:43
<Gadi>
so you can see the dmesg output there
11:43
could be too high a current draw
11:43
<profes>
i have a shell session in clients
11:43
<Gadi>
USB is very sensitive to that
11:44
if you draw too much current, the driver can shutdown and only be fixed with a reboot
11:44
<profes>
wow, i cannot see files in usb flash disk neither, but icon appeared as i said
11:44
now, ill plug usb flashdisk in the server
11:46
OMG it worked plugged into the server
11:46
the usb flashdisk is /dev/sdb and its partition is sdb1
11:48
why the usb harrdisk is /dev/sg ?
11:48
what is sg
11:48
?
11:49
<sbalneav>
A general device.
11:49
the local workstation can't detect what it is.
11:49
<loather>
scsi generic
11:49
<sbalneav>
I think you've just got a problem on that one workstation.
11:49
<profes>
hum i see, ok, it seems that the problem is ltspfs
11:49
<sbalneav>
Maybe the hardware's bad
11:50
no, you said it worked at another workstatin
11:50spectra has joined #ltsp
11:50
<profes>
no, another machine (an identical server, with identical clients)
11:51
<sbalneav>
<quote>I have two identical machines, in the other machine it worked fine</quote>
11:51
<Gadi>
sbalneav: I think machine == server
11:51
<profes>
ok, when i said machines i mean server
11:51
yes
11:52
<Gadi>
profes: the thin client power supply may not have enough power to support an external USB hard drive
11:52
are these thin clients with an external power supply?
11:53
and does the hard drive have its own power supply?
11:53
real hard drives draw a lot of current
11:53
<profes>
Gadi, yes, the power is enough, i think is ltspfs as sbalneav said
11:54
<Gadi>
well, can you get the hard drive to mount on the server now?
11:54
because that would be the first step
11:54
to make sure the drive is good
11:54
<profes>
sbalneav Well, the ltspfs filesystem isn't mounting then
11:54
sbalneav so, something's the matter
11:56
how can i fix that? where can i check?
12:02
Gadi, i cannot get hd mounted on the server, but i can mount the usb flash disk perfectly, so since now ill only try with the flashdisk
12:02
<Gadi>
ok
12:04
<profes>
Gadi, where can i check if ltspfs isnt working fine?
12:06
<Gadi>
profes: did you install the ltspfs package on that second server?
12:06elisboa has joined #ltsp
12:06
<profes>
yes, everything worked fine just a couple days ago
12:07
<Gadi>
hmm - what changed?
12:07
did you update the server?
12:07
<profes>
nop, nothing, maybe a configuration was changed by mistake or erased
12:08
anyway, how can i check if ltspfs is installed ?
12:08
<Gadi>
on rhel? rpm -qa|grep ltspfs
12:09
<profes>
:o noting... :S
12:09
<Gadi>
actually
12:09
rpm -qa|grep ltsp
12:09
looks like the rpm is ltsp-server-pkg-fedora
12:10
<profes>
ltsp-utils and ltsp-server-pkg-fedora
12:10
<Gadi>
(if that's the one you installed)
12:10
<profes>
and i have available the command ltspfs
12:11
<Gadi>
lsmod|grep fuse
12:11
<profes>
fuse 49556 0
12:12
<Gadi>
firewall?
12:12
can you mount any devices?
12:12
on the thin client?
12:12
<profes>
i havent firewall, how can i check if i can mount devices in client?
12:13
<Gadi>
I mean, do any devices come up correctly?
12:13
or have you only tried the usb flash and usb hard disk?
12:13
<profes>
i did cat /etc/fstab in client shell (ctrl+alt+f1 in my case) and i got the device info

hi, I have a question relating to ltsp and nfs
13:05
on the client I am getting an error: nfsmount: error mounting 172.31.100.254:/opt/ltsp/i386 on /sysroot as nfs: Bad file descriptor
13:05
on the server I'm getting: mountd[27536]: authenticated mount request from 172.31.100.100:601 for /opt/ltsp/i386 (/opt/ltsp)
13:05
is this the right place to ask?
13:06
<Gadi>
julius: try restarting the nfs server
13:06
<julius>
thanks I tried that
13:06
<Gadi>
grep ltsp /etc/exports
13:06
is the exports file correct?
13:06
<julius>
/opt/ltsp 172.31.100.0/24(ro,async,no_root_squash)
13:06
I believe so
13:07
it had a * instead of the ip before but I get the same poblem either way
13:07
<Gadi>
which version of ltsp?
13:07
<julius>
should be 5.... is there a way to tell from the cli?
13:08
<Gadi>
what distribution?
13:08
<julius>
it says 5.1.26
13:08
fedora
13:08
rpms are:
13:08
ltspfs-0.5.2-1.fc9.i386
13:08
ltsp-server-5.1.26-1.fc9.i386

13:08
<julius>
:) cool
13:08
<Gadi>
hmm
13:08
<julius>
heheheh
13:08
<Gadi>
thats not gonna help atm
13:09
<julius>
there's no huge hurry. I'll get ready for work and try again in an hour or so.
13:09
<Gadi>
can you try mounting /opt/ltsp/i386 from another computer via nfs?
13:09
<julius>
I'm just a bit stuck :)
13:09
um
13:09
<Gadi>
or from localhost
13:09
<julius>
I'll trylcalhost
13:09
<Gadi>
try, as root:
13:09
mkdir /tmp/mnt
13:10
mount -t nfs 172.31.100.100:/opt/ltsp/i386 /tmp/mnt
13:10
and see if that works
13:10ltsppbot has quit IRC
13:10
<Gadi>
if you still get Bad file descriptor, then it sounds like nfs is not exporting properly
13:11
and you may (if you can) want to go ahead and reboot the server
13:11
<julius>
mount -t nfs localhost:/opt/ltsp /mnt/cdrom
13:11
mount.nfs: Unknown error 521
13:11
<Gadi>
or check that the chroot (/opt/ltsp/i386) got created properly
13:11
<julius>
(great :))
13:11
<Gadi>
sounds like the nfs server
13:12
can you reboot the entire system?
13:12
<julius>
yeah... weird, I've never really had trouble with nfs before
13:12
oh yeah no worries
13:12
<Gadi>
try that
13:12
if the problem persists, try rebuilding the chroot

things are doing good here... the ministry has agreed on a years contract with the xos and I'll get to present the thin can sometime next week... I'm desperately trying to get sugar to do collaboration properly over LTSP... lots of bugs to work through, but its looking good
14:26
the idea is everyone runs sugar, ltsp, or xo based... and the 2 coexist happily
14:28
<_UsUrPeR_>
nubae: with most of sugar being collaboration software, what problems in particular are you running into?
14:29
<Lns>
nubae: hehe, why do you say that? did you have a bad experience?
14:29
<nubae>
there are issues with Network Damager
14:29
under ubuntu the latest 0.7 isnt compatible with the latest sugar... typical... the damager strikes again
14:32
_UsUrPeR_: right now, the terminals see each other just fine, they see when another activity is being shared, but when one starts up the desired app, the other terminal's activity locks up
14:32
<_UsUrPeR_>

didnt really try... the latest stuff is all being done on intrepid right now and the same issues that plague intrepid will plague hardy too
14:36
went through several bug fixes today with sugar guys... and the same will probably be true in the coming days/weeks... but hopefully by the time intrepid launches, it will all work

Put a band-aid on software that already works fine because the admin is incompetent at learning how to configure things

hi, just wondering, is there any documentation about setting up a guest account that would be wiped each time the account logs off?
16:10
<sbalneav>
I've so far resisted wading in with opinions. I've just posted something, though. I wanted to point out that ltsp doesn't modify the sshd config at all.
16:10
julius: I actually modified the pam_mkhomedir module some time ago to do just that.
16:10
hmmm, where was that:
16:11
<julius>
:) 'd like to be able to customise the desktop, then have it tidied up on logout.
16:12
is there a way to have it auto login as the guest account after booting?
16:13
<sbalneav>
ah, here we go
16:13
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LtspPersistentHome
16:13
Well, you'd have to modify gconf defaults.
16:14
the patches to pam_mkhomedir then create the home directory on log in, and blow away the home directory on log out.
16:16
Heading home for the day. Be on later tonight.
16:16
<Lns>
damn i was about to say thx for your response sbalneav
16:16
<zoredache>
I have always wondered why someone doesn't use unionfs to do something like that. Each time a user logs in, you create a clean temp filesystem, mount the source home dir as ro, and the tmp fs as rw
16:16
<Lns>
seems sane enough
16:18
I only fear Mr. burness wants this "solution" simply because he is lazy and doesn't want to learn how something works that he wants to modify directly.

not really, we have an openvz setup on it

17:17

do you have a way of similating a crash in openvz?
17:23
<stgraber>
vzctl stop <server>
17:24
or just ifdown eth0 in it :)
17:24
but the demo server is more of a way to show the various components than to actually demonstrate the high availability and load balancing part
17:25

what happens if a server is knocked off the ntework only temporarily?

17:36
<stgraber>
warren: it'll get removed from the loadbalancer (if it's an application server) or another server will do its job (if any other service). Then when it's back it'll get added to the loadbalancer again (if it's an application server) or continue doing what it used to do (any other service).

that's speeqe.. :)
17:54
kinda laggy on the initial connection tho
17:54
it took me awhile to get all the pieces together
17:54
and alot of bugs fixed
17:55
but now it works
17:57
<nubae>
what's your end aim with it? online jabberers?
17:59
<johnny>
yeah..
17:59
for my group of people who work @ red emma's
17:59
<nubae>
cool
17:59
<johnny>
there are some folks who can't install stuff on their work computers..
18:00
and we wanted to do some chatting together
18:00
<nubae>
right, or are blocked by firewalls
18:00
<johnny>
yeah
18:00
<nubae>
so can it do groups?
18:01
<johnny>
groups of what?
18:01
<nubae>
well, for example, the xos work with groups that are named something
18:02
instead of having everyone in one room...
18:02
<johnny>
for example?
18:02
<nubae>
spanish, english, literature, french
18:02
<johnny>
you mean rooms?
18:03
<nubae>
I guess they're rooms yeah
18:03
<johnny>
then yes it can
18:03
it can even do external rooms
18:03
<nubae>
cool
18:03
<johnny>
ones not hosted at my server
18:03
<nubae>
and linking to irc?
18:03
<johnny>
yes
18:03
<nubae>
nice
18:03
<johnny>
but.. you'll be limited by the amount of connections the server allows from the number of ips you have
18:04
<nubae>
ok, how many connections per ip?
18:04mikkel has quit IRC
18:04
<johnny>
that's up to the server admin of the server you are connecting to
18:04warren has quit IRC
18:04
<nubae>
ok, the XS is currently experimenting with 6000 concurrent connections :-)
18:05
so what runs behind it, ejabberd?
18:05
<johnny>
yes
18:05
thing is.. many irc servers limit the number of connections to stop flooding of all types
18:05
<nubae>
well, thats actually pretty neat... there would be less latency if it was internal to the school for example
18:06
<johnny>
you see alot of latency?
18:06keithclark has joined #ltsp
18:06
<johnny>
afaics.. the only latency is on initial connect
18:06
after that.. it seems fast enough
18:06
<nubae>
welll requires testing I guess, but its gonna be slower than on an internal network with thousands of users
18:07
<johnny>
well sure
18:07
but you could also keep the parts of it local
18:07
and the rest remote
18:07
if you were trying to network em all together
18:07
<nubae>
yeah thats where it becomes interesting, connecting servers together
18:07
<johnny>
run the bosh component local
18:07
and have it talk to a server somewhere else
18:08
constant stream, not a bunch of stateless http connections
18:10
<nubae>
whats the memory footprint for each connection?
18:11
<johnny>
not sure how to figure that how
18:12
<Lns>
nubae: you mentioned SOTP..I read that article, i've got a question
18:12
Doesn't SOTP pretty much require you to keep the list of passwords somewhere on your person?
18:12
<nubae>
no, thats opie
18:13
<Lns>
oh
18:13
<nubae>
pam sotp just means u use your regular pass
18:13
<Lns>
so what's the difference?
18:13
<nubae>
but it scrambles it with a irreversible factoring
18:14
<Lns>
scrambles your regular pass?
18:14
<nubae>
let me see if I can find something that explains this better than I :-)
18:14
<Lns>
k
18:14
=p seems real interesting
18:14keithclark has quit IRC
18:16keithclark has joined #ltsp
18:17
<nubae>
the client generates the key from the password u enter
18:17
then feeds that to the server
18:17
who also generates it from its key... this generation is always different
18:18
if u were to print on paper, I guess u would need a set of keys... since u cant generate it unless your ssh has that built in
18:19
<Lns>
hmm
18:19
<nubae>
http://www.cavecanen.org/cs/projects/pam_sotp/doc/0.3.3/manual.html
18:19
<Lns>
but the password you enter is static
18:19
<nubae>
right but its actually not stored anywhere
18:20
<Lns>
"This list of one time passwords (OTP list) is typically stored in print form and stored in the user's wallet or in electronic form in the user's PDA or cell phone."
18:20
<nubae>
yeah
18:20
<Lns>
k...well i guess you can't have complete security anyway =p
18:20
<vagrantc>
how does the server generate the one-time password without knowing the password itself?
18:20
<Lns>
that would be a good use case for mainly online-based attacks
18:21
I'll probably always vow to the holy grail of authentication - multifactor (something you are, something you have, something you know)
18:22
<nubae>
That is not so secure, since you can loose the paper and be doomed… Luckily there are lots of small softwares that does this generation for you. Some you can use from your Palm or from some J2ME-enabled phone (such as N95). Some your can use from another (trusted) computer. Some are even online, written in javascript!
18:23
<Lns>
I still don't get how this makes it more secure..you still need something to "hash" right?
18:24* Lns doesn't think he fully understands how sotp works
18:24
<nubae>
hell, I read about it a little while ago in linux magazine, and understood it then, but thinking about it now, I'm confused too
18:25
lets see if I can find the article online
18:25
<Lns>
hehe
18:25
someone's been shmokin doobies ;)
18:26
<ogra>
vagrantc, it asks GOD !
18:26
<nubae>
ok got the magazine in front of me
18:26
<ogra>
one of them at least :)
18:27
<vagrantc>
well, that's probably useful as a random number generator...
18:27
<Lns>
lol
18:27
I can see how it could prevent bruteforce, but wouldn't it also do a pretty easy DOS given that you can just hammer auth until your list runs out?
18:27
oh, it doesn't invalidate passwords that are incorrect... nm
18:28
<nubae>
One time password system consists of a server and generator. users are required to authenticate aganst the server and the generator calculates the one time password for this purpue
18:28
purpose
18:29
hash functions of irreversible algorithms do the work
18:29
the server adds a seed to the user defined password
18:29
and hashes the resulting string n times
18:30
the server then stores the username, the seed and the figure n+
18:30
#user is then sent a challenge from teh place hes logging in from
18:30
inlcuding seed
18:30
<vagrantc>
so the server doesn't store the password... it just uses that to generate one-time passwords
18:30
<nubae>
the local generator helps the user calculate the one time password
18:31
<Lns>
so...if someone got your static password, they've effectively gotten your list of OTPs since you can generate them yourself using any number of devices/methods
18:31
<nubae>
it changes constantly, but yes, the idea here is that burte force no longer works
18:31
<Lns>
that makes sense
18:32
<nubae>
like a scrambler in the middle I guess
18:33
anyway theres a whole other part about how the server decodes the key, but I wont bore u with the details :p
18:33
<Lns>
Kinda makes me wonder though, if you have to keep a list of huge, complex passphrases..why not just make your real password a huge, complex passphrase... i'm sure brute-forcing a 20-character password would take a long time. ;)
18:34
<nubae>
the generator creates the password, u just have to remember one string
18:34
and u need a generator with u of course
18:34
<Lns>
right
18:34
but it generates it based on a static password
18:34
<nubae>
yeah right, which hopefully u dont write down anywhere
18:34
<Lns>
i agree it's definitely more secure as far as brute force goes
18:35warren has joined #ltsp
18:35
<nubae>
even if someone got your generator, still wouldnt help much
18:35
or got the password without the generator
18:36* Lns wants thin clients with integrated retina scanners
18:37
<nubae>
theits also good with packet sniffing
18:37
since the password is only valid for one session, its kinda useless to store it for an attacker in the middle
18:38

18:40
<zoredache>
Lns: what happens once someone has a scan of your eye? Replacing your is kinda difficult
18:40
<nubae>
heh, u can use a photocopy or picture of yourself and the retina scanner wouldn't do too much good
18:41
<Lns>
zoredache: yeah..they'd pretty much need your actual eye
18:41
<nubae>
kinda like thumbprints and facial recognition, silly hackable technology
18:41
<Lns>
which, if they get it..well, you'll have more important issues to worry about ;)
18:41
no
18:41
<nubae>
could make a contact lens with your retina image
18:41
<Lns>
wait..have you guys heard about actually using scanned images for your eye?
18:41
<nubae>
there are always ways around it
18:42
<zoredache>
Lns: only in the movies
18:42
<nubae>
I have for facial recognition...
18:42

it would have to be hologram but you can surely do it
18:42

ah.. yes, and i heard about fingerprinting being pretty easy to dupe off of a door knob
18:42
<nubae>
off anything
18:42
fingerprinting is totally insecure
18:42
<Lns>
well, multifactor would make it insanely hard to get all of that ;)
18:43
<nubae>
dna printing

my bank's online portal likes to ask random personal questions
18:43
<vagrantc>
and when people have absolute faith in the authentication method, if someone compromises it they get all the goods.

happened with the card system in holland which is used for all publix transportation
18:44
<zoredache>
Lns: look how well that worked out for Palin
18:44
<Lns>
vagrantc: very true
18:44

Lns, "how did your last defecation go ?"
18:44
<vagrantc>
"there's no possible way someone could have possibly done X, Y AND Z!" "but they did."
18:45
<Lns>
ogra: yeah, i was wondering why there was an ethernet cable hooked up to the toilet
18:45
<nubae>
card got cracked and leaked to the net, all cause it was a closed system which no one tested
18:45
<ogra>
bowl cam !
18:45
<Lns>
lol
18:45
<zoredache>
didn't you see the google internet?
18:45
<ogra>
now that would be real safety !
18:46
<Lns>
What I view as the closest we'll ever get to complete security will have to do with trust
18:46
as in PGP/GPG keys with trust factors
18:46
<nubae>
yeah pgp is about as good as it gets
18:47
<ogra>
anyway
18:47
<nubae>
but computers get faster and people get smarter, so who knows...
18:47* ogra calls it bedtime

<petre>
I just sent the announcement
20:38
sorry for the delay, but I've been kinda swamped
20:39
<warren>
thanks for taking care of this
20:39
I'm a bit swamped myself
20:39
<petre>
at least you have bragging rights about being in Japan for your swampedness ;-)
20:40
on k12linux.org, can there be a Download at the same level as News, Meetings, etc.?
20:40
I thought I had a login for the wiki, but if I did, I've forgotten it
20:40
was planning to add a download section
20:40
I see the link in the latest News item, but that's pretty easy to miss
20:41
<warren>
petre: wiki is the same as fedora account
20:42
petre: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ you can request to reset password here
20:42
<petre>
tx, that's what I need

warren, what version of k12linux are we calling this?
20:57
besides the rc1, I mean
20:58
<warren>
petre: err... officially K12Linux Terminal Server F9 RC1
20:58
petre: but no big deal, we'll fix it for RC2
20:59
<petre>
warren, wiki now had downloads section
20:59
<warren>
ok
20:59
I have to leave soon
20:59
<petre>
I was thinking there I would use the full name, whatever the full name is
20:59
not urgent
21:00
<warren>
maybe we should drop "Terminal Server" from the name
21:01
it is clear enough to call it
21:01
K12Linux F9 RC2
21:01
K12Linux EL6
21:01
etc.
