I would expect this behavior if "domain.com and anotherdomain.com" wasn't a domain that I hosted. But this is a valid domain that this server should be answering for. In my named.conf I do have the
Quote:
allow-query { any; };
option on every zone. This is my slave server and I have the primary shut off so I can test this slave server. FYI: So far queriers still seem to be working. The pages for the sites are still coming up via the internet.
I am facing an issue with my syslog server. The server is collecting remote log also. and the issue is no log messages are updated in /var/log/messages file. But other files are getting updated.
[root@Server1 ~]# cat /etc/syslog.conf # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen.
RHEL 5.4 i want to be able to do redistribution of inbound syslog messages to syslogd. as example, my syslog.conf has in it at the end:
*.* @192.168.5.5 *.* @192.168.5.6
my sysconfig/syslog file has "-r" as the only option for syslogd. any messages generated by the localhost will be sent to the two remote servers, but messages that come into this box (udp 514) only get logged locally and do not get sent out to the remote hosts.
you may ask why do i want to do this. because i have several syslog servers (for security purposes) and many of my net devices are configured to send syslog to all the syslog servers, hence each device is sending way too much duplicate udp-514. so i would like to minimize the udp-514 coming out of the devices, have all devices send to a central syslog server, and then central syslog server do distribution to the other syslog servers. others have also called this "syslog proxy". or, if not with syslogd, how to achieve this (preserving the original syslog message host info, etc)?
When building 8.04 servers, I reconfigure snmpd's logging options to prevent copious low priority messages being logged whenever our network management workstation polls them. I edit /etc/default/snmpd and change line 11 from:
I'm getting the following messages sent to my root account mailbox. It appears to be reporting an issue finding ntpdate, however when running the following command:
aptitude show ntpdate | grep State
It shows as installed and any ntpdate commands work with no issues, so I have no idea why this is getting regularly reported?

I have a batch job which logs in to the server every 10 minutes via windows rsh. The job checks to see is there are any files that need to be send via a EDI serverto a supplier.The following logwatch report is swamped with the login messages and would like to either suppress the logging in PAM? or suppress the entry in the logwatch report?But I still want logging id the username is not username1.Connections (secure-log) Begin rshd[1754]: pam_rhosts_auth(rsh:auth): allowed to username1@10.0.0.1 as myedi
I'm wondering why I keep getting the following in /var/log/messages on a system running the latest CentOS 5 64 bit kernel:
Nov 8 09:50:24 hostname kernel: myri10ge: eth2: link down Nov 8 09:50:24 hostname kernel: myri10ge: eth2: link up Nov 8 09:50:34 hostname kernel: myri10ge: eth2: link down
I wrote a script which will run in ubuntu box and will display in tty1, without loading the gdm. The problem is when I plugged in a usb drive it will cause some messages to be printed into the current tty user logged in.
Like : [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
This is really disturbing when a user is running the script. Is there anyway that I can direct all the messages to some other tty which I don't use.
I want read the log messages to my 'c' application , i am using the fedora core 8 operating system , how to read the system log messages(syslog) through my application.
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.
On this Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS server, I want to log the messages from a Linksys router. So I made this change to "/etc/init.d/sysklogd" SYSLOGD="-r" Then in "/etc/syslog.conf" I added the following to the top of the file: Code: if $fromhost isequal 'Linksys' then /var/log/Linksys.log & ~
Then I rebooted the server. But there is no "/var/log/Linksys.log" file.
I am facing a problem while trying to log SSH messages in a separate file, say, /var/log/ssh_logs. I have tried modifying the syslog-ng.conf file as follows:
I have my system set up to where the router(dd-wrt) will send it's syslog messages to my Linux PC system. I am using shorewall as my firewall. I have two questions: How can I configure shorewall to allow the messages from my router? If I use my router IP address to allow the messages to come through the firewall, will this be a great security risk as anything from the internet can come through on that router ipaddress?
- I have wireless and don't normally use an ethernet cable. From Googling round I found this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/270184 which appears to match the problem, however I do not feel happy/competent enough to recompile the driver as suggested in the bug fix. Is there a way to configure the driver so that it only tries the eth0 connection a limited number of times? This is Ubuntu 8.04 2.4.26-27 and SIS 191 chipset
I've just configured my Linksys RVS-4000 router to syslog messages to remote syslogd server (i.e. my CentOS5 machine). Redirecting messages was easy, but now I'm having difficulties to redirect those same messages received from Linksys to a separate log file. By default, all these messages are logged to /var/log/messages, and after browsing manual pages for syslog, syslog.conf, and syslogd, came to suspect that what I want isn't possible.
What i'm trying to accomplish seems rather silly but is needed for my little project here.
I'm using OpenSuSE 11.2 as a media center PC and need it to login automatically(console not X). That one i accomplished without problems.
However, after login i can see all the info about the services that were started and that needs to "go away".
One could do a "clear" in the .bash_rc and or .bash_profile but it will still show the login prompt which i don't want to see either (i don't even want to see the blinking cursor as well).
Question: How do i accomplish that so that the login console shows only the "splash screen" without any output of the kernel,rc.status nor the "issue-file"... just a plain blank screen ?
I need to be able to send snmp traps based on certain severity or content of syslog messages. Can this be done from standard linux? Alternatively, are there MIB's out there that support syslog events so I can get the status from snmp?
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'm running a cobalt raq550 web server (Linux version 2.6) and I want to install a syslog program on it, something that could log messages and send me an instant email in response to certain messages it receives. Is there such a program?
I wish to prevent the samba messages (mainly nmbd and winbindd) from appearing in the system log (/var/log/messages). I want to allow samba logging to the standard samba logfiles, but prevent the syslog getting clogged up by samba. I added syslog = 0 to smb.conf and reloaded the config but the messages were still appearing. I also tried the following (and restarted the syslog via /sbin/service syslog restart) # Suppress messages from samba.
For interests sake the messages I'm getting are below (I'm not concerned about the messages themselves, I can chase them up at my leisure via the samba logs) Mar 18 09:58:29 SERVER nmbd[3808]: query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet xx.yy.z.zz for name DOMAIN<1d>. Mar 18 09:58:29 SERVER nmbd[3808]: This response was from IP xx.yy.z.zz, reporting an IP address of xx.yy.z.zz.
I'm running an OpenSuse 11.2 box at home which updates a mysql database 4 times a day then posts 34Mb to my website. It's exactly the same amount of data each time, and my scripts*TRUNCATEs then rewrites the database with the latest data - so the database size remains the same.
There's a problem (I think with the script) however which means that everytime the script runs, approximately 34Mb of space on my hard disk is mysteriously taken up. I'll have to get that script fixed...
I can't, however find the files which are eating up my diskspace at the rate of 140Mb per day. I've done various searches (mainly with Dolphin) including hidden files immediately after running my flaky script and looking for any files created/modified in the previous few minutes when the 34Mb has disappeared.
There are LOTS of files in /proc (which I don't think is actually on my HD right?) and also in /var. There's nothing much in /tmp (on a separate partition) or any log files that I can see. The box has been running this script daily for the last 6 weeks so I'm hoping there's a load of files somewhere I can get rid of, then fix my script.
In the last week email delivery had slowed down to taking approximately 24 hours and investigation has revealed that there were 45000 emails in the mailqueue. I flushed the mailqueue yesterday but mail delivery is slowing down again because emails are again being queued by the thousand.
The mails are mainly spam sent to ficticious users at a genuine domain hosted on the server.
My setup is running Courier IMAP with Postfix, Spassassin is installed along with Amavisd-new but I just don't understand why this has suddenly become a problem based on my setup not having changed for the last 6 months.
Should these spam emails be being discarded by spamassassin before reaching the mail queue? Are my discard score settings too high (6.9)?
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?
Im trying to get syslog-ng to log ssh stuff to a own file (later i want it to be forwarded to a other server but thats a later problem.
The thing is that if i restart my syslog-ng server and login with ssh, it logs it. but when i login again it dont. But if i restart the syslog-ng daemon again it logs again, but only once.
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
