I have the following script that when executed, consumes memory and makes the system inaccessible. All process are halted. First, I don't understand what is wrong with the script Secondly, I'm surprised that Linux allows this to run unchecked to the detriment of the entire system. ---- SCRIPT ----- #!/bin/sh FTP="/usr/bin/ftp" # VMID="asystem.ourcompany.com"

Is there a way to get mail from a MS Exchange server that is addressed as user at host.domain.com rather than the user at domain.com so that users on host.domain.com can read their mail on that host (CentOS). (I'm assuming that Exchange needs to know about host.domain.com, somehow.) Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. Systems Programmer MCP, MCP+I, MCSE & RHCE American Income Life

I have the following kernels on my /boot: 2.6.18-128.1.6 2.6.18-92.1.18 2.6.18-92.1.22 I'm low on /boot space and need to remove the oldest version. It appears that I cannot use yum to remove since all of the versions are the same (only the release is different). I believe that I can use rpm to remove the old version, but I also need to remove them from the grub.conf. Any other

It seems that I can never get through a phpmyadmin session w/o it hanging on "Waiting for http://....". The only way I have found to correct this is to cycle Apache. I can always get past the signon portion, but it hangs at various portions of selecting DBs or Tables. CPU is not overly active, all httpd daemons running, no myphpadmin remnants running. Can't find any problems in

What is the best way to temporarily setup a port relay. I'm trying to diagnose a problem with Cisco's latest VPN client and need to determine if the problem is port number related. e.g. VPN client---------23-(Linux box to relay port)-------xx-(Telnet server) (Keep in mind this is temporary and for debugging purposes) Thanks, Frank M.

I need to write a script that will contact a remote system using TELNET with VT52/1xx/2xx/320 and perform some operations. I am familiar with TELNET but it appears that it won't work for my purposes.

I'm attempting to install a product and it's failing the compiler check.

First, I'm trying to following along on a document on "SecurityFocus" on "Securing MySQL: step-by-step". I'm on step 3.8 "Test the configuration". I have my CHROOT directory structure setup and the chrootuid is failing (haven't figured that one out, yet). So, I simply tried a 'chroot /chroot/mysql' and got: chroot: cannot run command

One of my user's processes shows up with the uid (numeric) rather than the user (alpha) on the ps command. The /etc/passwd file shows: theuser:x:500:501:The user:/home/theuser:/bin/bash But, 'ps -ef' shows the uid: 500 9041 8864 0 11:20 pts/1 00:00:00 ps -ef Allother active users show the user. Ideas?

I'm setting up a dedicated database server, and since this will be a central service to my various web servers I wanted it to be as secure as possible...so I am leaving SELinux enabled.

I'll jump in here to say we'll try your suggestion, but I guess what's not been mentioned is that we get the setroubleshoot abrt's only a few times a day, but we're getting 10000s of setroubleshoot messages in /var/log/messages a day. e.g. Dec 2 10:03:55 server audispd: queue is full - dropping event Dec 2 10:04:00 server audispd: last message repeated 199 times Dec 2

Indeed, thanks Dan - it doesn't get us to a completely clean running that would allow us to run our Node app as we are under Passenger with SELinux enforcing, but it at least has stopped the excessive amount of AVCs we were getting.

Spinning off from the other thread about SELinux, I just tried to re-enable SELinux on my personal server hosting just email and forum for a small local community. Average load for this Intel Core 2 Duo box with 2GB of ram (usually with some 1GB free) was generally below 0.4 for the last 24hrs, averaging 0.23 based on MRTG. Once I did setenforce 1, load shot through the roof to fluctuate between
