Hello, In trying to resolve a problem with a cron job, we can see when the job starts by looking in the /var/log/cron log file. However, I was asked if when the job ends could also be logged. (It seems to be something that crops up every so often over the years.) I found on the 'net this article https://serverfault.com/questions/248915/crontab-is-there-any-log-with-begin-and-end-time which

Hello, I was looking at a process through the '/proc' file system, and came across a process name which seemed to contain a hex value: lrwxrwxrwx. 1 xymon xymon 0 Aug 2 14:07 /proc/58032/exe -> /usr/sbin/xymond;5d44410e (deleted) I am aware of what the 'deleted' part means, but have no idea what the ';5d44410e' part means. Is this some sort of thread reference? The

Hello, For many years we have modified the '/etc/named.conf' file to include local settings. The disadvantage with this is of course that when bind is updated, it creates an '/etc/named.conf.rpmnew' file. We then have to determine what is new, and apply the relevant changes to our modified named.conf file. There is, however, an '/etc/named' directory which I assumed was

Hello, We have MySQL running as a master which is replicating to a single slave server. We are, however, considering what is required when a 'disaster' of some sort happens to either server. By disaster, this could be some event which requires the entire server to be rebuilt, and which would usually include restoring from nightly backups directories such as '/var/lib/mysql' and

Attached is the patch I've been using to fix the error message seen in the subject line. It seems (!) to have caused no problems with the previous openssh snapshot version openssh-SNAP-20001016, 2.3.0p1 and the latest snapshot (openssh-SNAP-20001114). The patch adds 3 lines to nchan.c in a switch stmt (line 100). It simply caters for the cases where the input channel state is

Hello, I've set up a cron job to use ssh with a remote forced command to delete the contents of a directory. System A has the cron job and uses a specific key for system B. No command as such is specified since the key on system B specifies 'command=/bin/rm -rf ...'. However, I am getting error messages back from the cron system (or rather from ssh) about it not allocating a tty since

Hello, I'm using openSSH 2.1.1p2 from my Linux PC to Solaris 7 and 8 systems (using 2.1.1p1). No problem, except that if I run a program on the Sun, having used slogin to connect to it, and then try and issue a control-c to break into the program it seems to be ignored. I can control-z and then kill the suspended job, but I'd prefer control-c. I tried setting '-e none' on the

Hello, I am trying to use SNMP on a CentOS 6.2 server, and am using the 'pass_persist' configuration command: pass_persist .1.3.6.1.4.1.141.1 /usr/local/sbin/snmp-iostat I have set the file context of 'snmpd_exec_t' on the snmp-iostat program. If I disable SELinux, then it all works fine (that is, I can then snmpget/snmpwalk for OIDs in the configured pass_persist OID,

Hello, I have just installed CentOS 7 onto two servers and applied all the current patches. There are currently two kernels installed: # rpm -q kernel kernel-3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-123.9.3.el7.x86_64 However, if I reboot the servers they both start up on the older kernel: # uname -r 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64 I would have expected them to restart using kernel 3.10.0-123.9.3. I know I

Hello, I installed the ClamAV package onto a CentOS 6.3 server using yum. I then modified the /etc/freshclam.conf file to run a perl script whenever the ClamAV databases were updated: OnUpdateExecute /usr/local/bin/xymon_event ... The 'xymon_event' command is used on several servers, and generally works with no problems. However, on this server when the /etc/cron.daily/freshclam script

Hello, The error message in the subject line occurs with the new 2.3.0 openssh version and appeared in the previous snapshots on our Solaris systems. As far as I remember it was reported, but have not seen any more about this. I have looked into it a little bit. First, the file session.c (line 1849 onwards): debug("session_exit_message: release channel %d", s->chanid);

Hello, I just installed the above openssh onto a Sun Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 system. No problem with that. However, I now seem to get some rubbish processed when I login with slogin. An example: Last login: Tue Jun 13 12:31:27 2000 from jhorne.csd.plymo:tJ` ^[[?1;2c Telnet logs in okay, but just shows 'Last login...jhorne.csd.plymo'. This seems to get passed to the shell, which it of

Is there a step by step approach to securing CentOS 4X (or even RHEL 4X)? I don't mean the stuff in the docs/security guide but a working step by step guide? There used to be packages like rkhunter and tripwire but I don't know if the ones in rpmforge/kbs repo are up to date. Thanks, Josh.
