What is it, mathesis

<mathesis>
Feb 21 19:12:03 ltsp tftpd[3752]: tftpd: trying to get file: /var/lib/tftpboot/vmlinuz-2.6.17.3-ltsp-1
01:15
Feb 21 19:12:03 ltsp tftpd[3752]: tftpd: read: Connection refused
01:15
<ash_>
Looks like a permission issue, mathesis
01:16
<mathesis>
http://pastebin.ca/367282
01:16
how can i permission
01:16
<ash_>
Run ltspadmin
01:16
and see if tftpserver is running or not
01:21
<mathesis>

01:21
tftp is run
01:25ash_ has left #ltsp
01:32
<dan__t>
Are all the clients having this problem, mathesis?
01:32
Does /var/lib/tftpboot/vmlinuz-2.6.17.3-ltsp-1 exist?
01:32
do you specify a tftproot dir anywhere?
01:32
<mathesis>
yes it exist
01:32
<dan__t>
does the dhcp server point to the right file *exactly*?
01:34
<mathesis>
dan__t: you have debian?
01:34
<dan__t>
I do not, sorry.
01:34
It does appear to be a permissions problem - I was just trying to maybe point out other common mistakes.
01:36
However, I need to get some sleep here. I'll be back in a few hours :)
01:37
<mathesis>
dan__t: you try with ssh?
01:38
<dan__t>
try what
01:40
<mathesis>
you can try at my server lstp?
01:40
with ssh?
01:40
<dan__t>
Er... I'd be happy to help, but I would be afraid to break something at this hour heheh.

Hi jerns1

<jerns1>
hi ash_
04:25jerns1 is now known as jernst
04:37
<ogra>
jernst, sorry, i'm not actually here (on a conference holing a course)
04:37
*holding even
04:40
<jernst>
ok ogra, just tell me when you have 5 minutes ; i have been refered to you concerning muekow and problems with setting the videoram
04:40
<ogra>
there is no way to do that ... apart from specifying a static xorg.conf for the machine ...
04:42
<jernst>
is it planned to readd this functionnality ? Are you still working on improving muekow ?
04:44
<mistik1>
hey ogra
04:45
ogra: http://rafb.net/p/Ccufdu19.html <- Am I making sense?
04:46
<jernst>
I tried the static xorg.conf trick but X wouldn't show and I have no way of knowing why as the exported fs is r/only.
04:46
I'm using http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Clients#T5125
04:46
It would be better of course if the videoram was correctly detected...

jernst, indeed, but thats a bug in the X server that should be solved there
05:45robbie has quit IRC
05:46
<ogra>
with 7.2 Xorg will drastically reduce usage of the xorg.conf
05:46
with the target to get rid of it completely in future realeases

ogra: are you saying configuration will all be autoprobed a launch time?
06:27robbie has quit IRC
06:29
<ogra>
mistik1, thats the plan as i understood the X board decisions ...
06:30
bricode, yes, but it will still use xorg.conf ... its a long and painful process to get rid of that crap :)

06:32
<dberkholz>
mistik1: well, the plan is to make it so there's a sensible default with no xorg.conf. of course nondefault configs will still need some small xorg.conf section
06:33
<ogra>
i wouldnt know what for if everything can be configured on the fly (which is the actual target)
06:33
you wnt need any static file for that ...

<jernst>
is there a way to see what xorg.conf muekow generated for a specific client in order to take this config as a base ?
06:41
<mistik1>
dberkholz: That should be interesting with all the displays/cards floating around
06:41
multiheads and all that
06:42
<sep>
jernst, you can ssh to the client and look at it there
06:42
jernst, installs ssh and set a password in the muekow chroot
06:44
<jernst>

cliebow: I got an email back from Petr the module maintainer. Maybe he'll be able to shed some light on the issue
07:00
But I'll ask orga to :)
07:01
orga: Im trying to setup Edubuntu LTSP to authenticate to a Novell NDS server using the Pam_ncp_auth.so module. I am having an issue with the SSH authentication specifically.
07:02
The module authenticated the GDM session perfectly but without SSH the thin clients cant log in.

I tried to get pulseaudio to work but ended up reverting to esd, the gnome sounds work, but xmms, mpg321 and vlc all try the pulse-alsa plugin, any clue to as where to look for the faulty config?
07:15anivair has joined #LTSP

<anivair>
hey, does anyone have the link to the ltsp sound page? I've never had any motivation to set sound up before, but we need it pretty soon on one terminal, so i thought I'd give it a shot.
07:16
or is sound also one of hte things done by default on edubuntu?

ogra: well, i wouldn't want to reconfigure my specific dualhead setup every single time i start X ..
07:34
ogra: or if i prefer some lower resolution than my monitor can handle, e.g.
07:36
<ogra>
dberkholz, well, X would detect a second monitor and just use it ...
07:37pipedrea1 is now known as pipedream
07:37
<ogra>
you probably would have to have some config that says where which monitor is attached, but thats it
07:37
<pipedream>
,
07:37
<a5benwillis>
dberkholz: Are you trying to automate changing you xorg.conf?
07:37pipedream has quit IRC
07:37
<a5benwillis>
I have two different xorgs, one for work=dual monitor and one for home=laptop monitor
07:38
<ogra>
a5benwillis, are you willis ?
07:38
<a5benwillis>
thats my last name...
07:38
<ogra>
ah, yur mail adress is backwards :) hey
07:38
nice to meet you
07:39
<a5benwillis>
same.
07:39
did you see my rather long question orgs?
07:39
<ogra>
yes, did the last mail from gavin help you ?
07:40
<a5benwillis>
oh, you're on the email list!!??
07:40
<ogra>
i run that list :)
07:40
<a5benwillis>
I havent had a chance to go through it just yet.
07:40
from what I can tell I need to try NSS for the SSH authentication

ogra: I've also emailed Petr Vandrove and gotten a reply. He wanted to know what the exact issue was.
07:43Fnux has joined #ltsp
07:44
<a5benwillis>
ogra: Gavins email has a lot of information. I guess I'll just go down the list and try it all but everything seems to point to this not working with the NCP module alone.
07:45
<ogra>
yeah, you likely need to set up more ... but i cant imagine that it doesnt work at all ...
07:47
might be that some ssh tweaking is needed ... pam_mount has some probs with privilege separation with ssh ... there are some howtows on how to work around that, probably the ssh suggestions from there help
07:47
i'm sadly at a conference currently and have neither constant net access nor the docs and data here to look them up now ...
07:49
<a5benwillis>
ogra: No problem. I've been working on this for a few weeks already. Thanks for the help!
07:49
I'll just keep hanging around here. Someone who ahs this workings sure to show up sooner or later :)
07:50
<ogra>
a5benwillis, well, cliebow is a master for setups with strange server configurations :)
07:52
he will get your clients to authenticate against a waffle iron on a good day ;)
07:52
<a5benwillis>
ogra: The bad part is, I've found many how-tos for this but I guess they are intended to work with older LTSP versions or at least ones that don't use LDM.
07:53
<ogra>
s/LDM/ssh/ :)
07:53
its not ldms fault ...
07:53
next time if i'm back home i'll look into that ...
07:54
<a5benwillis>
curses SSH
07:59
<ogra>
it might just be a setting like the privilege separation with pam_mount
08:00
if so, i can just change the default for edubuntu for future releases and people coming after you wont have that probs ;)

Did you log out after you added the user to the fuse group? And did you re-start the terminal?
09:26
<poro>
sbalneav: yes
09:26
<sbalneav>
It should work then
09:26
What are you trying to do that doesn't work?
09:26

sbalneav: I checked that I exist in fuse group. What I was trying to do is to automount a usb-stick.
09:29
<sbalneav>
ok, so what happens when you plug in the usb stick?
09:29
<poro>
sbalneav: thinclients dmesg shows that it has recognized the stck
09:29
sbalneav: but nothing happens on server side

<sbalneav>
ok
09:32
as the user who you want the fuse stuff to work as:
09:33
id
09:33
and check and see if they've got the fuse group
09:34
Mine looks like this, for instance: oin$ id
09:34
uid=1111(sbalneav) gid=1000(hobasic) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),109(lpadmin),114(scanner),115(fuse),117(admin),701(win2003),1000(hobasic),3000(flo),9100(systems)

09:37vanya has quit IRC
09:37
<poro>
but that is by default
09:37
<sbalneav>
something looks a little whacky there
09:37
should be 660 + root:fuse
09:37
hmmm
09:38
lets take a quick sneaky peek at your udev rules.
09:38
hold on, gimme a sec to figure out what file...
09:38
take a look in 45-fuse.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d
09:38
should look like this:
09:38
45-fuse.rules:KERNEL=="fuse", GROUP="fuse"
09:39
<poro>
sbalneav: KERNEL=="fuse", GROUP="fuse"
09:39
<sbalneav>
ok, so lets do this:
09:39
as root:
09:40
rmmod fuse
09:40
<poro>
sbalneav: done
09:40
<sbalneav>
now /dev/fuse should be gone, yes?
09:40
<poro>
sbalneav: yes
09:40
<sbalneav>
perfect
09:41
invoke-rc.d udev reload
09:41
<ogra>
uuuh
09:41
<poro>
sbalneav: done
09:41
<sbalneav>
ogra: He's installed fuse, I think it didn't pick up the new rule.
09:41
now: modprobe fuse
09:41
then ls -al /dev/fuse
09:42
<ogra>
sbalneav, but i think there is a special command to restart udev more gracefully than by tearing it down :)
09:42
<FlyOnTheWall>
does anybody know if vlc can use the esd in an lts environment?
09:42
<poro>
sbalneav: crw-rw---- 1 root fuse 10, 229 Feb 22 16:39 /dev/fuse
09:42
<sbalneav>
I did a reload, not a restart
09:43
that should get it to just re-read the rules, if I understand
09:43
<ogra>
FlyOnTheWall, ogra@edubuntu:~$ apt-cache search vlc |grep esd
09:43
vlc-plugin-esd - Esound audio output plugin for VLC
09:43
<sbalneav>
poro: \o/
09:43
<ogra>
in ubuntu at least
09:43
<sbalneav>
Now your localdevs should work.
09:43
rebooting the server would have worked too, but that's so... Microsoft :)
09:43
<FlyOnTheWall>
ogra, that's just in, I've installed that
09:44
still doesn't work
09:44
<sh3mh4mf0r4sh>
g'morning
09:44
<poro>
sbalneav: also on next boot?
09:44
<sbalneav>
yeah
09:44
<ogra>
FlyOnTheWall, surel you have to ebalble it anywhere
09:44
*surely
09:44
*enable
09:44
<sbalneav>
poro: it will be fine from now on.
09:44* ogra rather stops typing ...
09:44
<sbalneav>
poro: it working now?
09:45
<FlyOnTheWall>
ogra, well yes, in the preferences I am able to set the server to which it should connect, but if that is left empty it doesn't use it
09:45
ogra, the setup that seems to work on xmms is to have it use the esd plugin, but leave the "connect to remote server" unchecked
09:45
<ogra>
right
09:46
<FlyOnTheWall>
I don't see any such preferences on vlc
09:46
<ogra>
because there is the ESOUND variable
09:46
<FlyOnTheWall>
echo $ESOUND returns blank
09:46
<ogra>
xms just picks it up
09:46
*xmms
09:47
<poro>
sbalneav: actually, no :(
09:47
<ogra>
FlyOnTheWall, err, sorry, ESPEAKER
09:47
<sbalneav>
no?
09:47
hm, ok, well, more debugging then
09:48
<FlyOnTheWall>
ogra, also returns blank
09:48
<ogra>
FlyOnTheWall, which distro and which ltsp version is that ?
09:48
<FlyOnTheWall>
ubuntu edgy eft
09:48
I do believe it's ltsp 5
09:48
<ogra>
with the ubuntu ltsp
09:48
<FlyOnTheWall>
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
09:48
<ogra>
and you set SOUND=True in your lts.conf ?
09:49
<FlyOnTheWall>
yes, and xmms works
09:49
<ogra>
hmm
09:49
<FlyOnTheWall>
as does alsaplayer
09:49
and gnome sounds
09:49
<ogra>
FlyOnTheWall, ask crimsun in #ubuntu or #ubuntu-devel
09:49
<FlyOnTheWall>
ok
09:49
<ogra>
he maintains a lot of that stuff ...
09:49
<FlyOnTheWall>
will do
09:49
<ogra>
especially vlc
09:49
<FlyOnTheWall>
alright
09:50
<ogra>
even though, ESPEAKER should be set ...
09:50
env|grep ESPEAKER
09:50
doesnt return anything either ?
09:50
<FlyOnTheWall>
nope
09:51
<ogra>
very weird, ldm should set that while starting esd
09:51
<jammcq>
ogra: hey, I loaded up feisty yesterday.... very impressive
09:51
<ogra>
jammcq, thanks :) still WIP though
09:51
<jammcq>

ogra, I fiddled with pulseaudio earlier and I borked my ldm (apparently), fixed it just now

any recommendations on how I should run it?
09:54

pulse ?
09:54
<FlyOnTheWall>
nah
09:54

well, there is no easy way in edgy ...

I skipped pulse now
09:54
running esd

just need to run the ldm script now, so that it sets the environment variables
09:56
<Mighty-D>
sbalneav: Ok, i just send the e.mail to you
09:57
<ogra>
FlyOnTheWall, thats done inside of ldm ... you could chroot into the client chroot and run: apt-get install --reinstall ldm
09:57
that will switch it back to the original one
09:57
<FlyOnTheWall>
ok

well, you could quickly reboot the client to be sure
10:04
might be that the old ldm still sits in memory... its not teared down by the package (since you dont want to kick out users if you upgrade the chroot :) )

you could do a:

mkdir somedir; ltspfs 11.22.33.44:/tmp somedir
10:43
sub in the ip address of your client.
10:44
that would confirm if it's the fuse that's causing the problem.

it needs to start as part of your xession.

how you do that on slackware I don't know.
11:13
<Mighty-D>
mmm
11:14
<sbalneav>
on Debian or Redhat based distros, you can drop a file into /etc/X11/Xsession.d, and it will get run as part of your xsession.
11:14
that file should be part of the tarball.
11:14
where you graft that in in Slackware, I don't knw.

looks good..ill add one period and one cap
13:30
<Mighty-D>
thanks cliebow.. im happy with this install, its looking so cute :P
13:33
<cliebow_>
Very Good...Ive only used slack as a firewall/router so im not mmuch good with it
13:36
<Mighty-D>
i love slack, you can do whatever you want with it, but the main reason is performance ;)

Mighty-D, Heh mine has been running uniterrupted for a year on 80 meg ram..unattended
13:45
Mighty-D, speaking of which..if i want to eliminate gui..on that 80 meg ram machine..best way?
13:47
<Mighty-D>
eliminate gui ?, what do you mean?... the x-serv ?
13:47
<cliebow_>
yeah'
13:48
<Mighty-D>
what r u running
13:48
?
13:48
<cliebow_>
slack 10 on a compaq 4131t..80 meg ram p 133
13:48
<Mighty-D>
just change the init number... to 3
13:48
:P
13:48
edit inittab
13:49
<cliebow_>
.hhm..that was a stupid question..
13:49

lol

somehow oi thought it was 2..but maybe im thinking ubuntu
13:49
<Mighty-D>
i dont remember what levels are in ubuntu...
13:50
<cliebow_>
speaking of init..i spent three days in edgy..altering inittab trying to get mgetty working like it did in dapper
13:50
before it dawned on me that edgy uses upstart 8~)
13:50
and ignores inittab
13:50
<Mighty-D>
lol
13:51
i haven't used upstart...
13:51
<cliebow_>
i like it....now
13:52
<Mighty-D>
but i got in a similar situation with udev and hotplug 8-S
13:52
<cliebow_>
so scripts placed in /etc/event.d get run like an inittab
13:53
<Mighty-D>
slack doesnt use rc.0, just a simple rc.d
13:54
other thing why i love it
13:54
i mean rc.## files...
13:54
rc.## folders
13:54
<cliebow_>
ive played with that a little

nice hack
14:02
i use slack to act as a windows domain controler (we still need some apps running), to give LTSP support to thin clients, to act as a intranet web server, as a groupware server, and we are writing and writing code to make some internal control for some ip cammeras and microcontrolers applications running some doors...
14:02
:D
14:03
<cliebow_>
very cool...samba domainn?
14:03
we use ldap..
14:03
<Mighty-D>
yes
14:03
<cliebow_>
smbldap really
14:04
<Mighty-D>
we dont use it, we have too few computers so no need, but it would be nice to set that up
14:04
<cliebow_>
and have a registry hack to tweak roaming profiles
14:04
so only desktop and My Docs are roamed
14:04
<Mighty-D>
(too few computers running windows... :P)
14:05
<cliebow_>
that is a good thing
14:05
<Mighty-D>
we also have that registry hack, but we do it as a *.cmd script
14:05
<cliebow_>
sure..same idea
14:06
<Mighty-D>
we had some troubles with *.cmd scripts with machines running windows 98, but now that is gonnne (windows 98 machines are thin clients now ;) )
14:06
<cliebow_>
i had to backtracj to support lexia learning..in my six perimeter schools

I found it by trying to look up for a clustered LTSP
15:05
so how they are doing this ...
15:05
I need how they are connecting the LTSP server to an application server that is already clustered
15:07
<sbalneav>
Well, I'd expect you'd find that information at the mille-xterm home page.

anybody want to help me convince the guys at OpenSSH to rewrite their module a tad ??? :-)
15:10
<sbalneav>
Have you joined their mailing list, and asked them on the mailing list? Looks like they have one.
15:11
What's the problem with openssh?
15:12
<a5benwillis>
an incompatibility with the pam_ncp_auth.so module. SSH looks for a local account and fails the authentication before handing off to the pam module.
15:12
.
15:12
link: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-dev&w=2&r=1&s=ncp&q=b
15:13
Its an old thread, but according to it they didnt want to change anything to support this authentication.
15:14
As you all know, Netware is still used by education and we need to be able to use NCP authentication in order to use Edubuntu LTSP

15:14
<lns>
a5benwillis, ahh, netware. I miss it so much
15:14
<sbalneav>
They shouldn't. They're correct. there should be an nss module to look up the info.
15:15
<lns>
I still don't know how M$ muscled in with NT4
15:15
<sbalneav>
So, what someone needs to do is write an lib_nss module so that pam can get the right information out of netware.
15:15
<a5benwillis>
you may be able to lookup info via nss, but, you'de have to include all of the unix attributres in NDS for it to work.
15:15
the big problem is this.
15:16
.
15:16
<sbalneav>
Or, barring that, you'd need some kind of daily batch import to march through the nds, and create dummy entries in /etc/passwd.
15:16
<a5benwillis>
With LTSP, the users dont already exist on the server. The NCP module can create the users 'on the fly' while authenticating.
15:16
<sbalneav>
OR, simply produce a locally patched copy of ssh.
15:16g333k_work has joined #ltsp
15:16
<a5benwillis>
i like the last option
15:17
<jammcq>
linux and Novell integration has been around for a long time
15:17
<a5benwillis>
but I dont know how to do that :-(
15:17
<jammcq>
linux can authenticate against NDS, no problem
15:17
<a5benwillis>
ltsp and netware seems to have worked well before LDM came into the picture
15:18
jammcq: true, I have gms authenticating the console logins just fine
15:18
<jammcq>
LDM is based on SSH, so you just need to configure SSH to behave with NDS
15:18
<sbalneav>
So, don't use ldm. You can easily still use gdm.
15:18
<jammcq>
yeah, use GDM instead
15:18
<a5benwillis>
with edubuntu?
15:18
<sbalneav>
Sure.
15:18
<jammcq>
sure
15:18
<sbalneav>
You just won't get local devices.
15:18
<jammcq>
although I wouldn't think that LDM would be that hard
15:18
<a5benwillis>
and how-tos out there?
15:18
<sbalneav>
Other than that, it will work fine.
15:18
Sure.
15:18
<jammcq>
your problem isn't LDM, it's SSH and NDS
15:18
<sbalneav>
SCREEN_07=startx
15:19
<a5benwillis>
so gdm wouldnt use ssh sessions?
15:19
<sbalneav>
and enable remote XDMCP in gdm (it's disabled by default)
15:19
no, you'd be using XDMCP sessions then.
15:19
<a5benwillis>
ok. and this will still work with the PXE thin clients?
15:19
<jammcq>
sure
15:20
pxe is a method of booting the workstation
15:20
<a5benwillis>
sorry, just trying to make sure that I understand this
15:20
<jammcq>
it has NOTHING to do with logging in
15:20
<a5benwillis>
right
15:20
and the xdmcp session would use the servers gdm configuration for authentication then right
15:21
<jammcq>
you betcha
15:21
<a5benwillis>
it sounds like there would be issues with sound on the thin clients
15:21
usb thumb drives etc...
15:21
<sbalneav>
No, the sound will work fine.
15:21
But you'll lose local devices
15:22
<a5benwillis>
define local devices
15:22
<sbalneav>
thumb drives
15:22
local cd's
15:22
etc.
15:22
<a5benwillis>
ok
15:22
<jammcq>
sbalneav: but don't you have all that working at your shop ?
15:23
<sbalneav>
I'm using the ssh for now, until I finish integrating the two.
15:23

ah
15:23
so it's not like he's stuck forever with no LDA
15:23

id'e love to hack ssh to work though :)

oh, so youre already working on this issue?
15:24
<sbalneav>
a5benwillis: or, just write a quick bit of something to create local /etc/passwd entries from NDS data.
15:25
that will, by far, be easiest.

how ...
15:31
please ?
15:31
<sbalneav>
It uses vnc I beleive.
15:31
<AbuSami>
the client's X don't have an IP
15:31
right ?
15:31
<sbalneav>
All the clients have an IP address.
15:31
<AbuSami>
sure

to be honest i don't know a better place to ask this. But say I want to set up a thin client network in my house. I would probably run Ubuntu on the server, I would like some of the clients to be linux, but my dad and some other family members would like windows. Would I just run some virtualization? How would i go about doing this?

#

startx: This option can be used for lower powered installations that can't support the encryption that the ssh tunnel provides. Enabling this will require you to turn on XDMCP for the gdm login manager. As an administrative user, go to System->Administration->Login Window, and in the "Remote" tab, change the drop down to "Same as local". Additionally, you may wish to click on the "Configure XDMCP" button on the lower corner, an
16:03
d increase the "Maximum remote sessions" to something a little higher than the number of thin clients you have. Please note that doing this means that all X Windows traffic on your network will be unencrypted.

As well, in this mode, local device access or local sound will not work. This will be fixed in a future version of Edubuntu.

I've been reading a5benwillis's problem and was wondering if LDAP authentication from the thin-client needs to be implemented again
16:03
<jammcq>
a5benwillis: PLEASE don't post large things to the channel
16:03
<a5benwillis>
It sounds like what youre saying
16:03
jammcq: Sorry. I thought about it after I hit paste..
16:04
<jammcq>
mistik1: yeah, network auth is coming
16:04
soon, we hope
16:04
<a5benwillis>
I don't think ti will help my sitiation though, will it?
16:05
situation
16:05
<mistik1>
How hard would it be with the current ubuntu LTSP implementation?
16:05
<a5benwillis>
My problem lies with SSH
16:05michel_ has quit IRC
16:05
<jammcq>
I think initial implementations of network auth will be using LDAP, not NDS
16:05Mighty-D has joined #ltsp
16:05
<mistik1>
Wait a sec
16:05
<Mighty-D>
help, does anyone here works with openoffice in native languages?
16:06
<mistik1>
But you can use LDAP to auth against NDS
16:06
<Mighty-D>
it seems only root can change it, so none of my thin clients works
16:06
<jammcq>
well, there ya go
16:06
<mistik1>
LDAP client tools
16:06
<jammcq>
can't ssh be configured to use PAM authentication?
16:06
<mistik1>
yes
16:06
<jammcq>
then I don't see what the problem is
16:06
<mistik1>
nor do I
16:06
<jammcq>
configure sshd on the server, to auth against the NDS
16:06
badda-boom
16:06
<mistik1>
exactly
16:07
<a5benwillis>
for ldap auth to work dont the uid and gid attributes have to be in the account at the ldap source?
16:07
<jammcq>
dunno
16:07
<mistik1>
the LDAP source would be the NDS
16:07
Linux would only be acting as a client
16:07
<a5benwillis>
with the NCP auth module it handles this automatically. It creates the user on the server if it doesnt exist and assignes uid's
16:08
<mistik1>
a5benwillis: Personally I think you're overthinking the problem
16:08
<a5benwillis>
wouldnt the SSH issue still exist though. The problem is that is the account does NOT exist on the server then SSH fails the authentication before attempting the pam auth.
16:08
<Gadi>
hey, all
16:09
ah, still authenticating....

is there a way to lunch applications from another machines on the clients'x X
16:10
<a5benwillis>
I have my Edubuntu LTSP server. The only accounts that exist are a user for administration.
16:10
I want to be able to log into a thin client, have it authenticate my user from my NDS server and map the users home directory.
16:10
<mistik1>
a5benwillis: good so far
16:11
<AbuSami>
is there a way to lunch applications from another machines on the clients'x X
16:11
<Gadi>
AbuSami: it depends if the user lets you do it
16:11
<AbuSami>
if yes
16:11
<Gadi>
by default X has secuirty that does not allow it
16:11msinhore has quit IRC
16:12
<Gadi>
if that security is disabled, you need only export your DISPLAY variable
16:12
<AbuSami>
Gadi : ..
16:12
<mistik1>
AbuSami: DISABLE_ACCESS_CONTROL = Y
16:12
<a5benwillis>
With the PAM NCP module that Im trying ti use is does that but it also creates the user on the server and automatically mounts the users home directoy (which also exists on NDS server) at login.
16:12
<AbuSami>
where is that mistikl
16:12
<Gadi>
a5benwillis: does it actually create a user account in /etc/passwd?
16:12
<AbuSami>
Gadi, how can I disable
16:12
yes
16:13
<Gadi>
AbuSami: in lts.conf
16:13
<a5benwillis>
But the problem, confirmed by OpenSSH, is that the SSH authenticatino model FIRST checks for a user on the server before handing off to pam. Failing authentication before it ever checks NDS>
16:13
Gadi: Yes
16:13
<Gadi>
a5benwillis: that sucks
16:13
<AbuSami>
Gadi, and thats it ?!
16:13
<Gadi>
does it remove it afterward?
16:13
<mistik1>
a5benwillis: sounds like that PAM module is a piece of crap
16:13
<Gadi>
AbuSami: reboot thin client
16:13
<a5benwillis>
One suggested work around is to have a script write users to passwd nightly
16:13
<Gadi>
ugh
16:14
<AbuSami>
Gadi : how to define the command
16:14
in the clients Gnome icon for example
16:14
<Gadi>
you can then do: DISPLAY=ws001:0 xterm
16:14
<a5benwillis>
link: http://prope.insa-lyon.fr/~ppollet/netware/ncpfs/pamncp/auth/
16:14
<Gadi>
and xterm would appear on display ws001:0
16:14

modules doc
16:14
<AbuSami>
Gadi, I got it
16:14
<a5benwillis>
mistik1: LOL
16:14
<AbuSami>
thanks
16:15
<a5benwillis>
mistik1: I just dont see how to do the same thing with ldap alone.
16:15
<AbuSami>
Gadi, but this needs some auth in normal case right ?
16:15
<mistik1>
a5benwillis: Ok, I'll read that and get back to you
16:15
<Gadi>
AbuSami: yeah, normally
16:16
<mistik1>
This is Linux all problems have a solution, and its often a lot simpler than we think
16:16
<a5benwillis>
mistik1: Thats a boring read. The main thing of interest is that it mentions this issue under the Zenux flag section
16:16
option T
16:16
<Gadi>
normally the X server won't allow other computers or users to connect to it
16:17
<a5benwillis>
The module works perfectly with the console login. I just added the auth line to /etc/pam.d/gdm
16:17
<AbuSami>
Gadi, hmmm
16:17
Gadi, we can use this method in running heavy applications form another machines , application server , right ?
16:17
<a5benwillis>
mistik1: Heres an example of how it has been used. Very sleek and clean IMHO

otherwise, if you don't want to get into routing, use ssh

a5benwillis: what happens if you take all the auth lines out of /etc/pam.d/ssh except for the ncp one?
16:26
<a5benwillis>
havent tried that
16:27
I can though, stand by
16:28dmorar has joined #ltsp
16:29
<Gadi>
a5benwillis: be careful, because you won't be able to ssh back in with a unix user
16:29
so dont drop ur connection :)
16:30sbalneav has quit IRC
16:30
<a5benwillis>
same thing happens
16:30
the -669 error in /var/log/auth.log
16:31
<Gadi>
is it the module producing that error or ssh?
16:31
<a5benwillis>
basically SSH doesnt send the password to the module for it to verify via NDS
16:31
the module
16:31
sincs SSH fails before ever handing off to PAM I dont think it can be fixed via configuration.
16:32
ssh itself will have to be hacked
16:32
Gadi: Make sense?
16:32
<Gadi>
so you think SSH never sends the password to the module...
16:33
yet, ssh does send it to the pam_unix module
16:33
weird
16:35
<a5benwillis>
openssh call the function
16:35
>getpwnam to see if the user exist at all, and if he doesn't the sshd
16:35
>refuse the user to login.
16:36dmorar has quit IRC
16:36
<Gadi>
ah... so you need to set up nsswitch!
16:36
thats all
16:36
you should install nss_ldap
16:37
and configure nsswitch to look up users in ldap as well as local files
16:37
<mistik1>
I keep saying this
16:37
<Gadi>
and point the ldap client to your NDS server
16:37
as mistik1 says
16:37
:)
16:37
but use your ncp pam module, too
16:37
instead of the ldap pam module
16:38
that will give you the uid/gid mapping
16:39
that mistik1 guy - he's all right
16:39
<mistik1>
hehe
16:40
<a5benwillis>
but wont the users in NDS have to have the unix attributes for that to work? UID, GID etc
16:41
wait maybe using the ncp auth instead will rpovide that mapping. hmm
16:41
<mistik1>
That's what I'm seeing here if i'm reading this right
16:42
<Gadi>
a5benwillis: zactly
16:42
you just need nsswitch set up so ssh knows the users are coming :)

here I come google

16:44
You have looked in this?
16:45
<Gadi>
a5benwillis: apt-get install nss-ldap
16:45
it'll ask you all the right questions
16:45
:)
16:45
beats reading
16:46
heh, nm
16:46
do what mistik1 says
16:46
as usual
16:46
get: nss_ncp

Its beta but how much beta software do we now run?

17:28
<mistik1>
a5benwillis: that defines the method I was talking about earlier
17:29
The only thing then left to do after that is deal with the homedirs
17:30
a5benwillis: do you need to have the homedir mounted from the NDS server or would it be ok to just create a homedir after auth?
17:30
Specificly in your environment I mean
17:32Gadi has left #ltsp
17:34
<mistik1>
I am assuming you would need to mount an NDS volume as the homedir

Im trying to test the patch from the ssh guys
20:48
I downloaded the ssh source, ran ./confige --with-pam
20:49
theres no 'make'
20:49
how do I install in this case?
20:53FernandoMM has quit IRC
20:53
<mistik1>
Have you read the docs
20:55
<a5benwillis>
yes
20:55
it says to run ./configure
20:56
then make
20:56
then make install
20:57
<mistik1>
Hard for me to say not looking at the source tree
20:58
<a5benwillis>
im running ./configure again
20:58
its been a long day, shew
21:01
ahah
21:01
I bet I need to apt-get install build-essential
