IPv6Freely: yeai dont mind messing with a server (even then, not a fan - id rather get it working and not touch it)
nesta: oh I love fiddlin
hehe
in fact
mine is currently broke
as a result
IPv6Freely: yep, understood.. many do. Just not me :P
i dont use osx because im stupid (as the win/linux people say), but because im lazy... in that regard, at least.
nesta: I think windows it the 'hardest' of the lot
overall anyway
IPv6Freely: well part of it is that i dont like the whole open source philosophy
nesta: oh you don't?
aw okay
IPv6Freely: no. Sharing code and such is wonderful... it really is... im all about sharing knowledge
But when software A depends on software B being version x, and software C depends on software B being version y, and something breaks... ARGH.
Similar situation with java... i could run my packetshaper gui, but not my firewall gui, because each depended on a different version of java being installed. drove me nuts having to run a VM for one of them
kind of an offtopic example, but same idea
up_the_irons: I think "dependencies" is high up there in the Reasons for Computer Frustration "Hall of Fame"
IPv6Freely: As I've always said "Linux works great, until it doesnt"
I always hear about how well ubuntu works and how easy it is... which is fine, until something breaks. Then you're screwed.
Unless you know what you're doing.
nesta: lol.. in which case you are not screwed
bit of a conundrum that
so basically, IPv6Freely, you are saying RTFM?
:)
IPv6Freely: But an OS thats supposedly computer illiterate friendly and so easy to use that requires you to know what youre doing to fix problems... well.. thats kind of a contradiction
nesta: hmm up_the_irons have you ever put NetBSD on a vps for anyone?
up_the_irons: nesta: no
IPv6Freely: up_the_irons: make my damn vps :P
<3
nesta: okay, do you know is the IPV6 setup on OpenBSD similar to that on FreeBSD ?
google is not much use atm :S
IPv6Freely: mmm native ipv6 on arp... woot
up_the_irons: IPv6Freely: patience patience. i have a large order in front of you, an existing customer ordered 6 more VMs. After I'm done with that order, I'll move into yours and the others I got this morning
nesta: yes, it rox my sox
up_the_irons: IPv6Freely: :)
IPv6Freely: oh darn. no worries i guess
up_the_irons: nesta: it is not really the same, config files are very different
nesta: yeah
up_the_irons: IPv6Freely: you'll be set up in the next couple hours though, no problem
nesta: okay I guess it is re-install time for me hehe

IPv6Freely: sooo... i did the zfs freebsd tutorial, but now no ssh to my vps :(
jdoe: anyone who can answer a possibly dumbassed xmonad question?
RandalSchwartz: IPv6Freely - did you remember to enable ssh? :)
you have to add that to /etc/rc.conf
jdoe: installed it on the current ubuntu. The xmonad xsession it sets up works, but is ... barren. Xmonad doesn't seem particularly happy running inside of gnome though. When I change the wm from metacity -> xmonad with gconftool it ... works... sort of? As soon as gnome starts it seems to trample all over xmonad though.
draws the background over xmonad, hijacks keyboard etc.
RandalSchwartz: ... sshd_enable=YES
you should be able to log in on the console though
that's not ssh
even though you're sshing to get there. :)
-: RandalSchwartz stops talking until IPv6Freely faces this way again
IPv6Freely: RandalSchwartz: haha nope, never put that in.
im used to default installs where everything is just done for you in sysinstall :P
RandalSchwartz: so you should be able to access the login prompt on the console
IPv6Freely: yea console is no problem
RandalSchwartz: and login as root from there
then fix everything else
IPv6Freely: ok freebsd noob question - can i apply the changes i made in rc.conf without rebooting?
RandalSchwartz: sorta
if you know which rc.d they map to, yes
you can say /etc/rc.d/sshd start, for example
for something installed from ports, it's in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/something
with a few exceptions, MUMBLE_enable maps to [/usr/local]/etc/rc.d/MUMBLE start
IPv6Freely: yea i know about that stuff
so its just a matter of manually starting whichever daemon ive changed
RandalSchwartz: I imagine you could just run /etc/rc, but that might have nasty second-time consequences
IPv6Freely: fair enough, thanks

and why the hell do I not ever resolve
Can any of you resolve my address to the proper hostname?
RandalSchwartz: what's your address? :)
awyeah: oh
2607:f2f8:7400::2
nesta: yes it resolves for me
RandalSchwartz: did you get DNS delegated yet?
nesta: Non-authoritative answer:
2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.4.7.8.f.2.f.7.0.6.2.ip6.arpa name = excelsior6.awyeah.net.
awyeah: Yeah. then why can't freenode resolve it.
RandalSchwartz: I got NXDOMAIN for that same query
awyeah: wtf.
RandalSchwartz: so maybe it depends on which nameserver
nesta: does ZFS work with multiple partitions?
awyeah: Weird. I haven't updated my DNS in a long time.
RandalSchwartz - can you dig it?
RandalSchwartz: do you have a secondary that isn't refreshing?
what's the dig syntax?
nesta: dig 2607:f2f8:7400::2 AAAA
IPv6Freely: i need to get dns working for ipv6 on my vps
nesta: yeh dig is not work for me awyeah
RandalSchwartz: yeah dig can't find either
awyeah: So you got NXDOMAIN on dig?
hrmph.
nesta: nslookup worked for me though
RandalSchwartz: I get no answer
how does dig show NXDOMAIN?
sorry, I always use "host" not "dig" now
awyeah: dig doesn't even work for me when I use @localhost on my box.
weird.
RandalSchwartz: hah - this time with +trace on, I see it goes to arp, and arp delegates to 206.125.173.26 and 202.157.182.142
maybe one of those aren't refreshed
IPv6Freely: i need to buy a domain name to use with my vps
nesta: all of my domains suck :-/
hehe
I was drunk when I bought most of them
IPv6Freely: i really want to get ipv6 going on mine, but i dont know how ipv6 dns works
RandalSchwartz: ahh - this is interesting - http://www.intodns.com/0.0.4.7.8.f.2.f.7.0.6.2.ip6.arpa
IPv6Freely: but id absolutely love having a website on ipv6 :)
RandalSchwartz: see the red fails down below
ns1.awyeah.net is not responding to dns
awyeah: hmmmmm
IPv6Freely: i could do ipv6freely.com :P
awyeah: Still can't figure out what's going on. weird.
RandalSchwartz: you mean you think ns1.awyeah.net is responding?
or you don't know why it isn't?
what part of "what's going on" are you missing?
awyeah: I'm pretty sure the nameserver is responding, try again (it's the box I'm on, and when I loaded the intodns.com page it worked)
i'm also having issues with my dig syntax
RandalSchwartz: dig +trace stopped before finishing too
awyeah: hrm.
RandalSchwartz: gave two nameservers for 0.0.4.7.8.f.2.f.7.0.6.2.ip6.arpa.
but then nothing past them
awyeah: what was your full command line?
RandalSchwartz: oops - getting pulled into meeting
sorry
awyeah: well first, I had a bad record in the forward DNS for awyeah.net.
according to http://dnssy.com/report.php?q=0.0.4.7.8.f.2.f.7.0.6.2.IP6.ARPA
the NS records are different between my stuff and ARP's stuff
and crappers, my nameserver didn't appear to return an SOA record.

RandalSchwartz: I thought you meant this - http://wiki.arpnetworks.com/wiki/ZFSonFreeBSD
Yes - you have to add that. I should update that wiki page
since the disks come already configured

also right at the end where it says "zfs unmount -a" i couldnt do that, said device busy
i could do all the set mountpoint lines too, except the legacy line

which clearly, your name shoudln't be
awyeah: just a quick sec. Check this out.
RandalSchwartz: querying my own reverse worked fine
awyeah: dig -x 2607:f2f8:7400::2 +trace
You get a good answer (excelsior6.awyeah.net)
if you don't do +trace, you don't get a good answer.
RandalSchwartz: yeah, that's similar to what I'm seeing
awyeah: I bet that when you use +trace, it goes and looks it up at each nameserver
when you don't, it just looks it up at your nameserver.
RandalSchwartz: ahh, might be a bad cache
but still, something is different... because your names are trying to be looked up under my default domain
I think you left out a period somewhere.
it's easy to miss.
You *do* have '.' after all your NS hosts, right?
like for me, it's NS red.stonehenge.com.
and NS ns1.he.net.

it's advisable :)

nesta: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
use the Handbook
IPv6Freely: looks pretty much the same

no
IPv6Freely: okay, it does to me
nesta: okay
IPv6Freely: meh, ill do all that when i really have nothing better to do

but whatever
IPv6Freely: heh thats far from fun :P
nesta: I wouldn't go around adding any users until you do though
it's fun for me :)
IPv6Freely: i just have my user and my root user
since you cant ssh as root :P
nesta: ah okay
well you _can_
but
not advisable
IPv6Freely: because of the security hole?
nesta: sure
IPv6Freely: k
more /usr/src/UPDATING
nesta: I mean if you ssh keys I _suppose_ it's "okay"
but I still would not
IPv6Freely: until ive updated you mean?
nesta: hm? no I just mean you could use ssh keys to ssh in as root because then no one could sniff a pass
but it's not advisable nonetheless
IPv6Freely: oh gotcha
okay so i should follow that rebuilding world part of the handbook top to bottom
nesta: yes sir, at the moment I am having issues but generally that *just works*
I am noobin it up at the moment
:'(
IPv6Freely: why does it have the makekernel stuff at the top and then again half way down?
nesta: well it gives a few example
s
diff scenarios
IPv6Freely: im very confused
24.7.1 tells you do the buildworld and buildkernel, and then 24.7.7.2 has you doing make buildworld again
nesta: it is kinda confusing but basically its just, make buildkernel && make buildworld && make installkernel && reboot to single user && cd /usr/src && mergemaster -p && make installworld && mergemaster && Reboot
yeah its just different ways
if you read closely
IPv6Freely: jesus christ this stuff is way too complicated

dxtr: I know the rest
RandalSchwartz: just hit f12 during boot up
dxtr: Oh, neat
RandalSchwartz: and remember to wipe ad0 :)
IPv6Freely: thanks RandalSchwartz i was doing that as you were typing it ;)
jdoe: up_the_irons: right on, thanks. I'm trying to preserve as much of gnome as I can though, I just want something better than metacity :)
dxtr: RandalSchwartz: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0? :P
jdoe: up_the_irons: ... so if you have any xmonad.hs-fu that's not specific to dzen, gwmenu or whatever I'm all ears.
IPv6Freely: Tue Aug 3 17:06:09 PDT 2010 yay
RandalSchwartz: not really necessary, unless you have hostile local root users
in which case, you have a bigger problem
it'd have to be someone who can read the raw disk
otherwise, freebsd does a pretty good job of handing you zeros on new blocks
dxtr: RandalSchwartz: Well, I'm installing because I might've gotten my VPS rooted (Here I was thinking FBSD 8.0-RELEASE was kind of safe :P)
RandalSchwartz: right - but you're wiping it
as in, new install
jdoe: RandalSchwartz: something I used to like doing was going to linode, provisioning a new machine with the smallest disk I could get away with (like a 400MB debian install or wahtever) and then creating a virtual disk with the rest of my quota
dxtr: Yeah
RandalSchwartz: the bits that aren't part of the blocks are meaningless
jdoe: ... and scraping it for ssh keys, gnupg keyrings etc.
apparently linode doesn't/doesn't wipe disk before providing it to users.
RandalSchwartz: ewww ouch
jdoe: (I just did it as a PoC, no malicious intent)
RandalSchwartz: remind me to continue to not recommend linode :)
jdoe: I dunno.
I recommend here now.
but if someone doesn't like it for whatever reason, I still recommend linode.
-: IPv6Freely completely lost
jdoe: (arpnetworks has more of a small-company feel, some people are skittish about that)
RandalSchwartz: IPv6Freely? what are you lost about now?
IPv6Freely: whatever you guys are talking about
RandalSchwartz: it's not for you then. :)
IPv6Freely: clearly :)
jdoe: dxtr: fbsd 8.0 IS safe. You did something to fuck it up ;)
(probably)
dxtr: jdoe: Well, local root exploits are making me paranoid ;)
RandalSchwartz: you have untrusted local users?
I guess I'm lucky that way
all my local users are trusted
they all have root too :)
dxtr: RandalSchwartz: Well, one
jdoe: dxtr: there haven't been many of those in 8. I think there's been one or two things that required a reboot. freebsd-update is your friend. You DO cron it, right? ;)
RandalSchwartz: you should put that untrusted user in his own jail :)
dxtr: RandalSchwartz: Yeah, "I'll do that later" :D
Have been my motto for a couple of weeks
jdoe: haha.
jailing probably isn't a silver bullet if it's an escalation in the kernel, but it's... generally a good idea.

awyeah: hey he.net has a DNS service now.
-: awyeah adds another slave
smokey: any idea how i manually set my nameservers for my v6 and v4 reverse?
up_the_irons: cmeiklejohn: ah cool!
RandalSchwartz: yeah, I'm moving all of my domains to he.net
one at a time of course
smokey: thats what i wanna use :P
awyeah: I'm just going to use them as a slave for now, I like bind.
bind doesn't like me.
but I like bind.
RandalSchwartz: especailly because you get *five* slaves all over the *world* for free
smokey: ive got all my stuff there.
RandalSchwartz: fast fast slaves
all but one are v6 too
now if up_the_irons would fix my reverse, I coudl advance to the *next* level on the ipv6 certification
cmeiklejohn: RandalSchwartz: I got my stuff there too -- got my Sage cert too ;)
awyeah: wait, they slave on *all* their DNS servers?
RandalSchwartz: Yes.
host -t ns stonehenge.com
my stuff is in six places around the world
I'm up to profession, waiting on guru
professional
cmeiklejohn: RandalSchwartz: cool
awyeah: hmmmm
cmeiklejohn: awyeah: hrmm/
?
nesta: hi
twiggz: i probably have kids in more countries.
jdoe: smokey: ?
RandalSchwartz: o/~ I've got friends... in low places... o/~
nesta: where the whiskey drowns ..
twiggz: glenlivet here.
12 years old.
<3
shopping for more cigars now...
RandalSchwartz: "I like my whiskey like I like my women..." :)
twiggz: really? cheap and nasty?
RandalSchwartz: "18 year old"
twiggz: glennfiddich has an 18 year old single malt i think
cmeiklejohn: they do
RandalSchwartz: The Macallan 25. Nectar of the GOds
twiggz: the green bottle
RandalSchwartz: $450 a fifth
and worth the $20/shot
smokey: ?
RandalSchwartz: smokey?
smokey: jdoe said my name...
twiggz: i like nice cigars to much to bother with spending to much on single malt scotch/whiskey ....single malt is good enough... i am partial to makers mark and glenlivet...
RandalSchwartz: oh
twiggz: the makers mark cigars are awesome to.
lol
jdoe: lol
-: jdoe is a CERTIFIED IPV6 NEWBIE
smokey: same here :x
jdoe: smokey: you were asking you to set nameservers for reverse.
smokey: and I was asking (poorly) for you to elaborate ;)
twiggz: ipv6 is crap...noone uses it...maybe 10% of the internet even has access to ipv6 natively right now....from their own isps....
smokey: right now my v4/v6 use ns1/2.arpnetworks.com i'd like to switch em to ns(1-5).he.net
time to eat.
i submitted a ticket..now i wait!
twiggz: ive lived in 5 states over the past 3 years ...and never had an isp offer native ipv6
:/
and setting up ipv6 tunnel is justmore trouble than its worth..
RandalSchwartz: twiggz - your (minority) opinion is noted, and will go on your permanent record.
-: RandalSchwartz grins
RandalSchwartz: truth is, we're outta v4 in a year or so
and yes, major ISPs are spinning up v6 projects
twiggz: thats what they say, sure.
RandalSchwartz: and have you seen tunnelbroker.net?
you can have a v6 tunnel in about 10 minutes
twiggz: and sure, "spinning up" does not = OFFERING IPv6
RandalSchwartz: or miredo, to get a tunnel anywhere you're natted
twiggz: so...
RandalSchwartz: twiggz - you live in the US, apparently
twiggz: yes, i do.
RandalSchwartz: internationally, the story is different
twiggz: i know.
RandalSchwartz: the US is hogging most of the remaining v4
because we know we're backwards :)
jdoe: RandalSchwartz: seems unlikely, there's still a ton of space that can be reclaimed.
(re: running out)
twiggz: we also get to have guns.
RandalSchwartz: jdoe - not politically
twiggz: damn us!
jdoe: not politically? I'm talking about reserved blocks, not assigned /8s
RandalSchwartz: the reserved blocks are running out
about a year left
twiggz: thats what they said a year ago
sorry, its true.
jdoe: heh, yes, we've been running out for quite some time.
... and while I'm sure it's coming soon, I don't think it's coming *that* soon.
twiggz: a year ago they said "we wont have any left in a year"
RandalSchwartz: it has slowed down a bit
twiggz: a year passes....i still get ipv4 addys
RandalSchwartz: but it won't *keep* slowing down
the recession helped. :)
best guess is 322 days now
under a year
twiggz: ill bet you money
for real
noones running out of ipv4 addys in 322 days
hell
ill give you 340 dys.
shit, i should give you a year.
probably two...
if ipv4 addys were so scarse ...my isp would have a real problem with giving each of my 6 pcs and laptops in the house their own ipv4 address...
if i hooked up another hub to the hub i have...id get more ipv4 addys ...lol..
no need for it...i dont have enough boxen.
nesta: or fingers?
twiggz: kvm switches are useful :)
but yea, "ill bet a fiddle of gold against your soul" that in a year noones running out of ipv4 addys.
nesta: we heard ya
twiggz: good.
;p
RandalSchwartz: since that statement is already false, you already lose
you have to justify wanting a /27 or bigger these days
all the way up to ARIN
twiggz: haha, you cant possibly know its false.
RandalSchwartz: I just gave my evidence
twiggz: you are guessing.
RandalSchwartz: no - that's fact
twiggz: and so is arin.
RandalSchwartz: ask up_the_irons
anyway, you've proven your ignorance. we can stop now
twiggz: ok, we'll see in a year
they said the same crap last year
it didnt happen
lol
nesta: hrm
twiggz: truth is, people are always going to be getting laid off, fired, quitting jobs.....and not being able to afford their internet ......the economy is not getting any better here.....so its a safe bet...in a year they will still not have run out of ipv4 addresses no matter what up_the_irons or arin says.
bet me money.
nesta: troll is obvious troll.
only thing worse than a troll is a fail troll
:-X
twiggz: sorry, im not the one calling people names.
not to mention im right.
nesta: np
you must have thought I was referring to you then?
...ahh
:)
twiggz: just because some op in this channel and arin guesses so does not make his arguement correct.
nesta: hehe
twiggz: covering my ass :)
i dont care what you think of me.
***: j3m has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
nesta: ipv4 does not care what you think of it either
twiggz: yep.
***: j3m has joined #arpnetworks
twiggz: thats why it will still be available a year from now.
nesta: so why all the to do
twiggz: :D
nesta: nice blog
twiggz: dont worry, i like my arp vps...ill be around for atleast a year (im sure you hope not), so we'll see.
i dont think i have a blog.
i have a ning social network for my irc network...and posted a few bits on it....but i dont blog..
if i blogged....id also have to carry a pastel colored powerbook to barnes n nobles every weekend...
(or put apple made POS *book in place of powerbook)

"ARIN, RIPE and APNIC, and the Internet community are conducting discussions on the question whether organizations that require IPv4 addresses can acquire them from other organizations."
man I hope they kill that. A market for IPv4 addresses is pretty much the worst possible way to address this.
RandalSchwartz: Yup
speculating in the spot market on a /17 :)
and certain legacy organizations with /8's would make out like banshees
not really fair
comcast would reassign me from its 4/8 pool hourly
"no packet for an hour? you lose your address!"
DHCP valid times of 90 seconds :)
***: nesta has quit IRC (Quit: leaving)
nesta has joined #arpnetworks
jdoe: yeah.
haha. When I requested an IPv6 allocation (incorrectly, but whatever) my provider thanked me for using it.
I lol'd.
RandalSchwartz: I have, I think 3 or 4 ipv6 /48's now
so I can enumerate all the grains of sand in the earth a few times over. :)
jdoe: I asked for a /64 because honestly I'm just going to fuck around.
up_the_irons is of course correct and I should have requested a /48
RandalSchwartz: yeah - you get a /64 just for the routed tunnel :)
the rest of /48
is for all of your dinking around
jdoe: yep.
oh well.
I can always bug them, they haven't actually GIVEN me the allocation yet.
hrm.
-: jdoe stabs the he ipv6 thing.
jdoe: I don't tunnel to home and links doesn't have js. I'll be a newbie forever ;)
