Red Hat / Fedora :: Cannot Find The Log Of PAM Time Module At Syslog?
Jun 25, 2010
My distribution is Fedora 7 and now I am testing the use of PAM. As I know, the pam modules will generate log to syslog and I can find related records tagged with 'pam_access', 'pam_unix' etc at /var/log/secure, but cannot find the one tagged with 'pam_time', only a record showed 'Permission Denied'. So how can I find the exact log of pam time module?? Below is my setting for pam time:
at /etc/pam.d/remote
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_securetty.so
auth include system-auth
account required pam_nologin.so
account required pam_time.so
account include system-auth
code....
GNOME has adopted the pulseaudio infrastructure and it has grave errors reading from ALSA sinks. One of the many effects is that every 2 or 3 seconds a 3 line error message is written to the syslog to the effect of 'ALSA woke us up...blah blah blah' and it is filling up everyone's syslog. What I need is a workaround to just stop these messages from being written so I can level set and figure out a long term course of action.
I have Gigabyte Tv Tuner card E8000 i can't find appropriate module for it to work. "lspci -k" give me this: 06:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors Device 7160 (rev 03)
getting KVM Kernel modules installed under Fedora 14? I'm trying to do a post-installation setup of KVM. I'm getting the "No package kmod-kvm available." error, when doing "yum install kmod-kvm".
I am looking for an open source syslog server which accumulate the each and every log of Windows, Solaris, Linux and network devices. Currently I am using Syslog-ng which is not fulfiling my requirement in Windows clients, as I need the logs of every action which user performed after logon.
PAM time restrictions - changing Time.conf so it gets time from a sql table. I was wondering with the PAM authentication module (pam_time) that I can grab time from a server using sql/postgress which uses TIMEDATE function to get the time of logging out into pam_time? So basically I want to insert sql statements into Time.conf which would get the time from a table.
I am using FC9, I want to write a module that will always show current time after booting.But for that I need not only to load module using insmod/modprobe, but also to compile that module during boot time.How can I perform this 2 steps correctly.
wants to remove everything else that (presumably) has syslog as a dependency. how do I replace the dependency on syslog with a dependency on syslog-ng?
I noticed in my system that my root partition is getting full. I found a lot of old compacted syslogfiles. Had a look at etc/sysconfig editor eg cron but could not find a setting which allows to delete files older than a month. Where and how could I influence this ? I deleted manually all syslog files older than a month. Approx 6GB
how to find the driver module name using MAJOR NUMBER. In general major number list is available in Documentation/devices.txt but if i want to find out the driver module name specific for a given MAJOR NUMBER, what can be done?
I've upgraded kernel 2.6.27.48-0.2-default to 2.6.27.54-0.1.1 on openSUSE 11.1. Before I tried to upgrade to 2.6.27.48-0.3-default where I encountered the same issue. After reboot it can not find the modules for 2.6.27.48-0.2-default which puzzled me to no end. Now I have found that the /boot which is on separate partition of ext2 type is not mounted. The mount command does not recognize ext2 and xfs anymore.
Clearly the initrd does not have the right modules. Since this is standard zypper up process I would expect this to work without issues since it has worked until the 2.6.27.48-0.2-default kernel without issues. Has something changed with the last 2 kernel versions that requires some extra actions from me and if so what do I have to do.
Since my Asus WL-3300 seems to be having trouble, I bought a USB adapter -- a Linksys WUSB54G ver 4. Version 4 was apparently important because it came with a Ralink 2570 chip -- and that's supposed to work with Linux (which is why I chose it).I think it will work because, without loading any drivers, Net Manager can see the local routers (about seven of them). But when I choose mine, though it asks for a WEP key, it never connects. I'm not sure now what driver is loading that *almost* works with it. But I think I may still need to load the driver from: URl...But when you read the page it says that the driver has entered the "Mainline Kernel" -- and I'm wondering if that is why the adaptor almost works.So the questions:
1) Without a driver, should this Ralink 2570 be working at all?
2) How do I find what driver *is* loading?
3) Modprobe doesn't seem to be able to find any rt25x00 module, is this right -- or is there some other name I should be looking for?
iwlink scan, ifconfig, etc., all see the adapter as wlan0.lsusb shows the adapter.I'm going to keep searching, but wrote this in case there is something really simple that I'm overlooking.
I'm trying to use module-assistant to add the vboxdrv using instructions also found here in the debian forum. However, m-a can't find the linux-headers because it looks for the package linux-headers-2.6.32-5-trunk-686. I attempted to specify were the headers were by using: m-a prepare --kernel-dir /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686/ but also doesn't work. Instead, I get the error: Bad kernel version specification at /usr/bin/m-a line 566. Anyone knows how to work around this? By the way, the reason I am doing this is because when I installed virtualbox (following the instructions in debian wiki) there's no vboxdrv. When I try to modprobe it, I get: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
I'd like to mount an iso file ,however, it failed as following: ljk@ljk-laptop:~/Test$ modinfo loop ERROR: modinfo: could not find module loop what I can do?
When opening gedit as a user I get the following message
Gkt-message: Failed to load module "'pk-gtk-module"
If I try to open gedit as root I get the same message but with other messages. These are shown in the attached file. gtk.txt
This is on an upgraded machine using the preupgrade method. The same has happened on two machines upgraded from F14 to F15 the same way. 64 bit systems.
How to clean this up so the messages do no appear?
Used to work perfectly. I attempted to install VPN client, result is can't connect to anything. Networks are seen by network manager, nothing happens when click connect. Results below:
Wireless LAN present in Hardware information. Atheros AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (wlan0) Kernel Driver: ath5k 168c:001c /var/log/boot.msg
[code]....
Advice is to use output of dmesg command to find problem, but as above I don't get any results for this in terminal.

I got the "The file '/var/log/syslog' does not exist." message when I tried to run KSystemLog as well as "The file '/var/log/auth.log' does not exist." when I tried to view the authentication log. There is no icon beside the items "Krfb," "KSystemLog," and"Nepomuk Backup" in the "System Tools" menu of Gnome.
Currently Im having a syslog server that consolidate firewall logs on port 514 udp. Im also having a IDS device that I wish to push its logs to this particular syslog server so that I can retrieve my IDS logs on this server as well.
Is it possible to do so?Having syslog listening on port 514 for both firewall and IDS logs? If it is possible will the logs be recorded in a single log file?Or will it be recorded in a separate log file ie. firewall.log, IDS.log etc?? I wish to have them in separate individual log files or else there will be hard time segregating the log entries in a single file. Can anyone advice on how to achieve this??
When booting Fedora 11, my system hangs for a very long time on starting udev. Sometimes I get an I/O error. However, my hardware is fine. I do eventually get in to the system.
