There is a serious problem with the makewhatis cronjob under Redhat Linux 4.0/3.0.3. You can use it to overwrite any file on the system. Redhat is aware of the problem, and said they would have some kind of fix by next week which should be plenty of time before this bug is exploitable again. #!/bin/sh # # blowitawaysam # # makewhatis is a shellscript that stores a tmp copy of the whatis #

I updated my x86 machine day before yesterday, and I noticed two things. The clamav user and group was deleted, and not recreated, and when the makewhatis ran, I got a page full of "zcat: stdout: Broken pipe" entries. What gives with the makewhatis and clamav? Was clamav removed from the software? I encountered no errors when the transaction check and transactions were run.

After you do your update, done forget to do updatedb, makewhatis, ... The locate for rpmnew has a couple items of interest and the locate for rpmsave returns one that occupies 24MB of your precious disks - /var/lib/Pegasus/prev-repository*. It compresses nicely to appx. 1MB, cpio bzipped --best. Change in your rndc key too, for DNS.

It's configured in /etc/anacrontab and is usually run once a day by the script /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron - cron.hourly is still run by cron. If the script doesn't exist, then

Just looked at the log from the x86_64 machine and I see the same zcat: stdout: Broken pipe in the 00-makewhatis.cron job as on the x86 machine. Did I miss some thread about current updates somewhere? sam -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam at wa4phy.net NOAA Cooperative Observer http://wa4phy.net Augusta Area Mesonet

Hello R-Users, I am trying to label points on an xYplot. I can label the points, but then I lose the error bars. I suspect that I should be using panel.xYplot rather than panel.xyplot, but that didn't work either... Can anybody help me out? Example code is below. First xYplot has error bars, second tries to label the points and the bars disappear. Thanks, John a=c(1:4)

We're trying to setup a dual-primary DRBD environment, with a shared disk with either OCFS2 or GFS. The environment is a Centos 5.3 with DRBD82 (but also tried with DRBD83 from testing) . Setting up a single primary disk and running bonnie++ on it works. Setting up a dual-primary disk, only mounting it on one node (ext3) and running bonnie++ works When setting up ocfs2 on the /dev/drbd0
