@Adrian I love GSSAPI, but it really needs ntp. Damn clockskew.

Adrian

@84104 I don't know much about that one. It's on my list of things to read up on, but it's a little further down still.

84104

12:21 AM

@Adrian It mean de facto kerberos wrapped.

Adrian

12:32 AM

@84104 Ah. It's getting a bit passe nowadays, but we run PHP here. 10 years into this particular project now.

84104

@Adrian That's a long running project.

Zoredache

I don't suppose anyone knows of a tool that will sort a list of fully qualified domain names starting from the TLD and working up?

the names in question have anywhere between 2-6 components.

84104

@Zoredache I don't know quite what you're asking.

Also, what's your input?

zone file?

Zoredache

12:49 AM

Lets say I start off with a list like this.

activityvillage.co.uk
ajax.googleapis.com
akhet.co.uk
alchemy.l8r.pl
au.af.mil
bbc.co.uk
bensguide.gpo.gov
chrome.angrybirds.com
cms.hss.gov
crl.godaddy.com
digitalhistory.uh.edu
digital.library.okstate.edu
digital.olivesoftware.com

I want the output to be like this.

digital.library.okstate.edu
digitalhistory.uh.edu
chrome.angrybirds.com
crl.godaddy.com
ajax.googleapis.com
digital.olivesoftware.com
bensguide.gpo.gov
cms.hss.gov
au.af.mil
alchemy.l8r.pl
activityvillage.co.uk
akhet.co.uk
bbc.co.uk

notice how it sorts on the tld (edu, com, gov, mil, pl, uk) first, and then the 2nd level component, then the 3rd level component and so on.

The data in question is a list of whitelisted sites that must be permitted by a web filter.

I am tempted to ask on serverfault, though it might be a better fit on unix.se... Though I would accept a Windows tool as well.

Mark Henderson

@Zoredache - I know how to do that with powershell

But it wouldn't be very efficient

Have you got a copy of Excel handy?

Or does this need to be run as a script?

84104

My current though involves a fixed count loop sort and grep. It's not pretty enough.

MDMarra

So, what did I miss?

Mark Henderson

The trouble is going to be domains with more than the normal number of .

84104

Now I'm all tempted to write python, but it's about time to go.

Zoredache

12:54 AM

@MarkHenderson ideally, it would be a script, but I might accept a excel option for what I am working on now...

MDMarra

The star wall is, uh, interesting

3

Zoredache

@MDMarra The star wall is almost always interesting. What would be unusual would be for the star wall to be un-interesting.

Mark Henderson

Well as a quick one:

1. copy/paste into excel so each line is on its own
2. Data > Text to Columns; Delimiter of `.`
3. Data > Sort
4. Column D, C, B, A
5. Voila

Zoredache

don't think that will work. Wouldn't it put k12.wa.us as (k12,wa,us) and cdc.gov as (cdc.gov) thus k12, and cdc would be in the same column?

or can you get excel to split and start filling from the right?

Mark Henderson

Ah, yeah you might have to manually re-align columns with the fewer TLD's (thats what I did)

Zoredache

12:58 AM

@MarkHenderson hrm....

Mark Henderson

Gimme 5 mins maybe I can knock up a PS script

Adrian

If I'm getting 25MB/s transfer rate copying data to a different location on the same SATA disk, I'm thinking that this server might just suck.

Zoredache

@MarkHenderson it is probably not worth it to build it in PS. In the long term I will need it be on linux.

I might be able to get Excel to work well enough for this one-time fix.

Mark Henderson

@Zoredache Fair enough :P I like a challenge though

Zoredache

The real problem of course is that Squidguard is incredibly stupid and annoying.

If you have www.fbi.gov, and fbi.gov in a squidguard ACL, then it will ignore the fbi.gov entry.

Adrian

1:03 AM

@Zoredache That's fucking annoying. I'm about a month away from installing a test rig for squidguard.

Zoredache

@Adrian yeah. The problem is our lists get managed by some of the PHBs. The PHBs just can't be trained to understand that if example.com is already in the whitelist, then you shouldn't add www.example.com. You break everything.

Adrian

@Zoredache Ah. Good point. None of our PHBs would ever want to touch an admin interface like that. This is probably a good thing.

Mark Henderson

@Zoredache This is so much harder than I thoguht. If there were a fixed number ot items it would be easy cos you can then sort by a custom function

But the function has to apply to every element in the array, and cos they're all different lengths, thats outside of my field of expertise

Zoredache

I know. it is tricky. I have been trying to figure it out off-and-on for a couple years. I know one way that I could get it to work, but I don't want to actually put the effort into coding it.

Adrian

splitting it into array pieces based on the dot and doing the 3 sorts with a linked list doesn't work?

Zoredache

1:11 AM

@Adrian When I was talking to a programmer guy about this a while back he though I would need to build a binary tree, and then use that.

Adrian

@Zoredache Well, a programmer would probably know better than I. I'm a terrible programmer, but I'd think you could set up a matrix to do this without too much trouble. just a matter of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order sorts.

Zoredache

If I was going to ask that as a question, what site would it belong on? It is slightly related to squidguard, which may make it belong on SF, but it isn't really a sysadmin question.

@MarkHenderson btw excel is helping, that was a good ideal. Not good for the long term, but good enough.

WesleyDavid

Wait, is this a shopping question? It kinda is - it kinda isn't. serverfault.com/questions/364320/…

I feel kinda dirty for answering it.

Adrian

IMHO, if simply providing a link to a commercial product is a desired answer, it's shopping.

Mark Henderson

@Zoredache Is it safe to assume that there's a finite number of subdomains?

Ward

1:21 AM

@WesleyDavid You smell kinda dirty, too.

Zoredache

@MarkHenderson I wouldn't expect to see more then 6 levels

Adrian

Kitty needs a bath.

Zoredache

If you where going a perfect solution, I think we decided back in a question DNS would allow you to go like 63 levels deep though.

Mark Henderson

$TLDs = Get-Content .\infiles.txt

$TLDStrings = @();

foreach ($TLD in $TLDs){
	$split = $TLD.split(".")
	$TLDStrings += ,$split
}

$TLDStrings = $TLDStrings|Sort-Object @{Expression={$_[$_.length-1],$_[$_.length-2],$_[$_.length-3],$_[$_.length-4],$_[$_.length-5],$_[$_.length-6]}; Ascending=$true}

$TLDStrings | %{[string]::join('.', $_)}

@Zoredache It's messy, but I think it will work

(as in, its messy because its got a fixed number of levels it can sort by, which is 6)

It could probably be tweaked by someone smarter than I to get it to work with unlimited levels

Mark Henderson

1:38 AM

@Zoredache Ok, I think this is perfect (In PS at least):

$TLDs = Get-Content .\infiles.txt
$TLDStrings = @();

foreach ($TLD in $TLDs){
	$split = $TLD.split(".")
	$TLDStrings += ,$split
}

$longest = ($TLDStrings|Sort-Object @{Expression={$_.length}; Ascending=$false})[0].length

$x=1
$sortArray = @();

do {
	$sortArray += "`$_[`$_.length-$x]"
	$x++
} while ($x -le $longest)

$TLDStrings = $TLDStrings|Sort-Object @{Expression={$sortArray}; Ascending=$true}
$TLDStrings | %{[string]::join('.', $_)}|Out-File .\outfiles.txt

Tell your programmer friends that we don't need no stinking lists

Zoredache

neat. I am going to ask a question on the site so you can post that as an answer and earn some rep. If people don't like it on SF they can move it somewhere else.

Mark Henderson

Haha, ok sure

You might find yourself a bash version of the script as well

Q: Sort a list of doman names (FQDNs) starting from tld and working left

I am looking to sort a list of domain names (a web filter whitelist) starting from the TLD and working upwards. I am looking any *nix or windows tools that can do this easily, though a script would be fine too. So if the is the list you are given www.activityvillage.co.uk ajax.googleapis.com ...

Mark Henderson

Hmmm there seems to be an issue with my script

It works with your list, but with a list of 1,500 domains it hasn't quite worked as expected

Shane Madden

1:59 AM

Might be better to rebuild the string in reverse order and sort that

Mark Henderson

The problem is how the sort constructor is being... constructed

It's trying to sort by "$sortArray" instead of the value of $sortArray

Shane Madden

Hah!

Adrian

2:29 AM

WTF? I got suspended off SuperUser due to low-quality contributions?

Mark Henderson

@ShaneMadden I took your advice. It was much faster

Adrian

Oh. Nevermind. Reading comprehension fail.

Mark Henderson

I did get my old one to work, and although I felt it was a bit "smarter", your way was quicker and more sensible :p

Shane Madden

2:59 AM

@Adrian What'd you get suspended for then?

@MarkHenderson Haha, yeah that's probably a good assessment.

Wait.

That Evan Carroll guy posted a question, then posted a meta question when he got a couple downvotes charging MS bias?

I miss all the good drama.

Mark Henderson

@ShaneMadden He's a 1st class troll. He trolls so well because he doesn't believe that he is a troll

He's been hanging around meta.stackoverflow fo ryears

Shane Madden

Yeah - there was that dustup between him and Jeff on twitter in the last few days too.

ewwhite

@Adrian I have questions for you, then...

Adrian

3:29 AM

@ewwhite wassup?

WesleyDavid

Adrian

sweeeet

I need to buy a copy of Finding Nemo for the kids. They've been clamoring for it lately.

Shane Madden

Hahaha, he was talking about "rep mobility," that's amazing. Would have liked to point this out:

Adrian

@ShaneMadden Didn't get suspended. Was looking at the wrong tab and thought it was mine. sigh

Shane Madden

@Adrian Ahh.

Adrian

3:39 AM

@ShaneMadden We still talking about his supreme Evan-ness?

Shane Madden

@Adrian I'm catching up on the drama I missed.

This one cracked me up:

6 hours ago, by Evan Carroll

I can't help but notice how seldom those with over 10k EXP do there part to ensure rep-mobility.

Adrian

@ShaneMadden Yeah, some people never outgrow adolescence regardless of age.

Shane Madden

@Adrian Yup.

Ward

You think that guy's bad, just a sec...

Journeyman Geek

ok.. what the hell is rep mobility?

Ward

Adrian

@JourneymanGeek The concept that if you know a lot about Cooking you should be taken seriously here?

Journeyman Geek

lol

Shane Madden

I have a lot of my own personal theories about physics which I like to spread online.

Um... ok?

Adrian

There ought to be a Moron badge.

Ward

He's also done his own translation of the bible - Old Testament, I think:

5

A: What scholarship exists behind the WikiSource translation of the Bible?

The Wikisource bible translation project is essentially dead. There are a lot of ancient Greek speakers, so there is almost all the New Testament, but the parts I saw were spotty, because many different people contributed, with very different translation styles. As far as the Hebrew translations...

Journeyman Geek

3:44 AM

@Adrian: Which is stupid. I am a high rep user on SU. A lot of people here probably have forgotten more than i will ever know on servers, judaism and OS X.

Mark Henderson

@Ward I would never, ever, ever trust a bilblical publication where the translation had been crowdsourced.

Ancient hebrew is complicated enough when there's just one person using consistant rules, let alone everyone doing their own thing

Journeyman Geek

@MarkHenderson: in theory, most biblical publications are, and over an extended period of time ;p

Adrian

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, pretty much. Though Rebecca would probably drop in and smite me for saying it.

Ward

Then you'd like his, he did it all himself! With a few of his own made-up words.

Journeyman Geek

unless you had the books in the original greek or aramic or whatever

Ward

3:46 AM

He complained that an answer he gave was deleted:

Mark Henderson

@JourneymanGeek True, but when you have a group of like-minded scholars who can discuss things in a sensible manner, you get at least mostly reliable results

Ward

> I gave an answer which explains that there are some (including myself) who believe that Abraham and Sarah are related to the Hindu figures of Brahma and Saraiswati,

Mark Henderson

@Ward Ohhhh kay....

Any mormons here? I hope not because that makes about as much sense as Jesus visiting the aztecs

Adrian

@MarkHenderson There's a bunch of them here. Nice courteous folks, generally speaking.

Journeyman Geek

@Ward: In what way?

Ward

3:49 AM

@JourneymanGeek I Was that for Mark?

Adrian

And the occurrence of the whole Mormon thing makes much sense in light of just how weird the Revivalist movement in Upstate NY was in the 19th Century.

Journeyman Geek

Though, i can totally see brahmah being a jelous god, and Saraswathi being the same thing as proper divine wisdom...

@Ward: oh, i'm hindu. I have some background ;p

ohhhhh

You were quoting

Adrian

The modern Occult movement was born in a little hamlet not 15 miles from Hill Cumorah and down-stream on the same creek from Palmyra.

Ward

@MarkHenderson I tried, I really really tried to get through the whole book of Mormon, got almost 2/3 of the way (I mean the whole book, startign with Nephi)

Journeyman Geek

and yes, thats silly, if you actually know hinduism ;p

Ward

3:50 AM

Yeah, I was quoting.

Mark Henderson

@Ward I haven't read it, but I did visit the local LDS temple near where I live one day, and they had a wall of paintings depicting the life of Jesus. It was all pretty normal and traditional, right up to the last panel (which was the book of mormon)

Ward

I'm too old and cranky to put up with morons like that Ron guy or Evan Carrol earlier today.

Mark Henderson

@Adrian My wife loves that show about the dude with 7 wives

Adrian

@Ward I aspire to your level of crankiness. It has to be carefully cultivated in order to reach true neckbeard status.

Mark Henderson

It sounds like being mormon is a pretty sweet deal, but really, you've just got 7x the issues :p

Adrian

3:53 AM

@MarkHenderson Ick. I can only imagine. Yet another reason I'm glad I don't have a TV.

Ward

I'm not religious, but I enjoy learning about history, including the development of the Christian church (mostly Catholic, since that's what I'm exposed to). But I can't be bothered to figure out how the LDS guys figure all the stuff in their bible happened but there's no sign of any of it.

Mark Henderson

@Ward I think that some guy found a book after he had a dream about it. At least, thats what South Park taught me.

Ward

There are certain behaviours that only an out-and-out asshole can exhibit. So if you see that behaviour, it's certain the guys an asshole. Or an idiot, or a moron.

Adrian

@MarkHenderson Golden tablets in a hillside outside fo Palmyra, NY. I lived not far from there for about 12 years. A VERY weird little place, that area.

After all, they get 2-3m of snow a year these days. It used to be double that back then.

Mark Henderson

All this talk about morons and mormons I keep seeing the two words interchanged. Makes for some interesting reading.

Ward

3:56 AM

And I have zero time to spend on people trolling. Sure, you often don't know just how serious someone is online - maybe they're exaggerating, joking, whatever. But someone who spouts BS and acts like it should be treated at face value isn't worth any time.

e.g. Evan's assertion that it's strange that people are different online than in real life.

Mark Henderson

@Ward Haha, well if he's the same IRL as he is on the internet, I'll just cross the street if I see him. Although, on the internet there's this great button called "ignore"

WesleyDavid

@MarkHenderson Did you know that the angel that visited Joseph Smith was named... Moroni?

I kid you not.

Angel Moroni

The Angel Moroni () is an angel that Joseph Smith, Jr. said visited him on numerous occasions, beginning on September 21, 1823. According to Smith, the angel was the guardian of the golden plates, which Latter Day Saints believe were the source material for the Book of Mormon, buried in a hill near his home in western New York. Moroni is an important figure in the theology of the Latter Day Saint movement, and is featured prominently in Mormon architecture and art. Three Witnesses besides Joseph Smith also reported that they saw Moroni in visions in 1829, as did several other witnesses w...

Adrian

@MarkHenderson Yeah, he's pretty much just a run of the mill twat. Not much different from the standard gamut of scumbags and grifters I see every day.

WesleyDavid

@Adrian I never knew the guy existed until today. I'm so steeped in sarcasm that I thought he was joking about the "upvote me already!" comment.

It took me literally about 3 or 4 minutes to realize he wasn't just goofing off.

Adrian

@WesleyDavid Yeah. That's exactly what I thought at first too. Figured he was an old & lapsed regular dropping by to yank an old friend's chain.

Mark Henderson

4:07 AM

@Adrian I first had the mispleasure of running into him on meta.stackoverflow about 3 years ago...

Might ave been 2 years ago

Jeff actually called him on the phone to make sure he wasn't an elaborate troll; I'm guessing most trolls would run to Mummy if the people they were trolling actually called him

And Jeff announced that he really was for real

Adrian

Heh. And there's people that are SO self-absorbed that they not only spout bullshit into a coherent little reality, but believe their crazy shit too.

Shane Madden

I like that he just made the assumption that someone answering owed the asker an upvote, without bothering to understand what deserves an upvote.

Because if anything deserves an upvote, it's certainly him.

Adrian

@ShaneMadden The similarities between his personality disorder and my Ex's was pretty damn amusing, actually.

Mark Henderson

@ShaneMadden I forgot to mention, I would be at about 600 days consecutive except I missed one day over Christmas, screwed me over. Bloody GMT!

Shane Madden

@MarkHenderson Yeah, I think the date rollover falling at 5PM / 6PM for me makes it incredibly easy to rack up consecutive days. I've certainly missed days if it were measured from my time zone.

Evan Carroll

6:12 AM

@Ward You know, I only wanted to make the point that given an agent and a behavior the most common assumption is that another behavior will follow from the first, not change radically because of environment. An asshole in Rome will likely be an asshole in Russia. An asshole in person will likely be an asshole online.

Which goes to say, that I assumed - wrongly - that Jeff would not be a cordial person over the phone, largely on the basis of his behavior online.

i found that assumption to be false: this leads me to believe Jeff is trolling.

Shane Madden

@EvanCarroll I think I'm missing context. Where's he trolling?

Evan Carroll

He is different online then in person -- that's the definition of a troll here.

unless you say otherwise, and wish to redefine the term yet again.

Shane Madden

I've always thought of "trolls" as people who posted inflammatory statements that they represent as serious but don't honestly believe for the sole purpose of provoking a reaction.

Evan Carroll

That's a good definition -- I'll have to think about that. He may still be a troll, but I'm /parting for the night.

Good night Shane!

Shane Madden

@EvanCarroll See ya

ewwhite

6:34 AM

@Adrian I had questions about KVM.

Ward

6:49 AM

@ShaneMadden The key part of trolling that I have no time for is someone posting things that they know damned well aren't true. Anyone who feels compelled to provide elaborate explanations (e.g. 7 posts back) to an audience that clearly doesn't care (e.g. here) is trying too hard to be earnest.
