similar to: When are Logwatch errors really errors

I updated the machine that I use for a web/email server last night to 5.9, and I have this in the logwatch report this morning: QUOTE: --------------------- Smartd Begin ------------------------ Warnings: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], WARNING: There are known problems with these drives, - 1 Time(s) **Unmatched Entries** smartd 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [x86_64-linux-2.6.18-348.el5] (local

Found an error or two from my logwatch report from yesterday, thought I would share this in hopes this is just first time run of the problem I noticed in the Kernel report section... Also not sure why there's an issue with automount either.... but I guess I could ask on that issue as well. I am not worried about the NAMED error, this is something that happens due to one of the services that

Yohoo! I have some issues with the smartd in CentOS5/x64 I edited the /etc/smartd.conf for my needs and restarted the smartd with "service smartd restart". But the start script is overriding my file. I checked it and saw the following lines: ---------------/etc/init.d/smartd------------ case "$1" in start | reload | restart) GEN_CONF="*SMARTD*AUTOGENERATED*" [ !

last night I checked the log messages on the server Dell PE2950 6xSAS 146G I found the smartd running , I did not request such daemon [root at PowerEdge1 pons]# tail -f /var/log/messages Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1 smartd[8039]: Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1 smartd[8039]: Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1

I just launched a new mailserver that is using dovecot. My previous mailserver used courier-mail. I am expecting better things with this new server, but I was use to some login information in logwatch that I am not seeing now. For example I would get: [IMAPd] Logout stats: ==================== User | Logouts | Downloaded | Mbox Size

Hi, yesterday my linux machine gave me some smartd errors so i checked the disk in another machine and it had defective sectors, I installed a new hard disk on the original machine. Today this is being reported in logwatch. I have a Maxtor (200gig) as hda, a cdrom as hdc and another hard disk that is used for storage as hdd.

This morning between 07:10 or so and 08:10 I discovered that my PC had shut itself off. I thought it was due to a power failure becuase I never turn it off without a good reason, and it had been running (and playing sounds) until it wasn't. My roommate/landlord tells me that the only anomaly he observed was that our router had lost its internet connection (via a cable modem, which was still

Hi, I've CentOS5 box with 3ware RAID controller in it. I can't get the tw_cli command line tool to work, and smartd also barks on me. The tw_cli simply doesn't see the controller, no errors logged anywhere. When starting smartd, it is much more verbose. I'm getting a bunch of messages like this: Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko kernel: program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl,

Hi All, I've the following in the logs and am wondering why they are there. I also keep getting emails from SAMBA log-deamon (or something like that). [2003/05/19 15:24:29, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:getsmbfilepwent(364) getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number) It's not really serious (at least to me) but it's a cause for concern. Below are the details LInux

Logwatch file shows last upgrade to the code was 2007. The unmatched entries are killing me in the reports. I figure there must be a newer utility centos has in the repo but I cannot find one. Is logwatch the only one that is included? thanks

amd64_edac: probe of 0000:00:18.2 failed with error -22 Logwatch shows this error on several machines - laptop and desktops - all running C 5.6. It never appears on the data centre servers. I have 'googled' but can not identify what error 22 is. One German posting suggests it is related to the Error Correction Code (ECC) of RAM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory suggests the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I have recently bought a new disk (Seagate 500G, ST3500320NS). I have enabled SMART checking using the smartmontools as usual for the disk (/dev/ad6 -a -S on -s (S/../.././03|L/../../7/03) -m root). The problem is that each time the test runs I get messages like the following in /var/log/messages: Oct 26 04:54:15 35 kernel: ad6: TIMEOUT -

I want to install smarmontools v 5.40, and so I pulled the SRPM for 5.39 so I could patch and install... $ wget -Nc ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Workstation/en/os/SRPMS/smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm However, the install of the source fails. $ rpm -ivh smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm warning: smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm: V3 RSA/MD5 signature: NOKEY, key ID

I've recently switched to using spamassassin via a sendmail milter, rather than using procmail to invoke it. This means that I get a number of messages appearing in my maillog, and then being reported by logwatch as unmatched entries. An example of such a messages is: Feb 27 04:33:09 quail sendmail[24780]: p1R4X46P024780[2]: URIBL blacklist\n\t* [URIs: tablettoxicspillsrx.ru]\n\t* 1.5

Hello I seem to be getting some messages via email and in var/log/messages as well, i think its a hard drive gone bad but was wondering if anyone has seen something similar to this or would have some ideas if its fixable or not, here are the messages This email was generated by the smartd daemon running on: host name: localhost.localdomain DNS domain: localdomain NIS domain: (none)

I have an old external harddisk, Toshiba 320 Gb, with a USB connector that I wanted to check for contents. It did not start up when connected and I could not hear the motor spinning. After leaving it in the freezer overnight the motor spins but it is not recognized by my computer. I disassembled it and could see that the head assembly rests outside the disk but when it is powered on, the head

Yes, I thought all of those things too. Spent a good part of yesterday eliminating them as the cause. top and iotop do not show any issues. No spam filtering on this box (it?s a separate server/software). Drive is 1/3 full. No smart errors. The queue problem (and I don?t know why this isn?t handled better) turned out to be a couple of corrupted messages in the queue. Had about 400 messages

On CentOS5 with the latest updates applied, the logwatch filter for postfix returns way too many lines from the log. I get an "unmatched entries" message and all messages that have gone through the system is listed. Here is an example: 8F930A8092: to=<morten at foo.bar>, orig_to=<morten at localhost>, relay=local, delay=0.19, delays=0.06/0.01/0/0.12, dsn=2.0.0,

I noticed that the changelog for the new kernel 2.6.9-34 on the redhat enterprise watchlist states on of the fixes as; 145061 - SMART support in SATA driver (P1) Does this mean that with that kernel we should be able to interrogate SATA drives now ? Cheers, Bards.

Been moving along just fine for a couple years now, then in the last two days, email has slowed to a crawl. Retrieving email via IMAP is very slow, progress bar in the mail client shows that it is downloading messages almost constantly, like it never closes the connection, or it?s getting the messages very slowly. The server that dovecot/postfix is on has also bogged down to a crawl. The
