Is there any way to check an Ubuntu system for user logons or uptime that date back 1-2 months from the present day? I tried 'last' but it only seems to date back to Dec 02. I also had a look in System Log Viewer, but couldn't find any records going back far enough.
Now while installing, I had 2 Hdds. at the time of partitioning, i used both as separate Hdd and made a /backup. I used that for my backups. That was RH9. Now I want to install Centos 5. and i wish to keep the /backup as it was. (as my cron scripts and others are written in this way)I wish that it will be mounted at the time of boot. And moreover, I can add a new hdd (using the manuals) but I need to keep the data.
Also the second question:: I have implemented a WiFi hotspot in a hotel with a Cisco WLC and several Cisco APs. Now I wish to restrict and log on access for both wifi and wired LAN using user names. Raduis is okey... with a mysql password database... I found a thing named hotex hotspot billing. But that's expensive. Also FCS's module is expensive too. I do not need billing, just access control. Any ideas on this?? It must be a linux based kind of baremetal package...
I would like to monitor a RedHat via snmp. I would like to make available data via snmp. The data that I would like to graph are only present in logs file. Is it possible to parse data from applicative logs and have them available for my cacti server via snmp? I already monitor CPU, mem, and others with cacti using the standard MIB.What would be the logical step I would need to achieve that?
I was running Ubuntu 9.10 and had the MySQL datadir moved to a different directory, /store/mysql. Due to a filesystem problem on the upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04, I was forced to reinstall. My /store/mysql was copied back over, changes to /etc/mysql/my.cnf and /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld, but MySQL hangs when I go to start it and nothing is showing up in any of the logs. How do I get MySQL to recognize the datadir from the previous install?
I Have RHEL4 running on IBM X3550 server, we request IBM support regarding issues with this server, they will request for IBM DSA logs. The logs are quite extensive and cover almost all server config & can identify hardware issues with drivers...etc. I want to know if there is a way to analysis those logs offline without sending them to IBM support?
i have RHEL4. i m facing problem that all the previous command history is deleted when i restart the server or relogin the server. it is happening with all the users not with any one user.
I was wondering how could I specify for how long the logs will be kept. Rsyslog doesn't have such an option (at least I didn't find it).Do I have to use logrotate for this, or is there some other option?

We are forwarding logs (perl script executed logs) to one Red Hat Linux box. We have to get 97 logs for each time the script runs. But we see inconsistent number of logs coming to Linux box. Like one time we got 56, other time 3 , other time 43.. like this.. We are sure that 97 logs are being forwarded. Checked the Rsyslog.config filer any filters and couldn't see any filter dropping them. When we run the tcpdump, we can see 97 connections, but logs are not there in specified location.
I am installing RHEL 5.5 to be a syslog server to collects logs from servers (HP-UX, Linux, Windows and Cisco Network Devices). and i can now collect logs from my windows PC on syslog linux server by using Datagram SyslogAgent software. can collect logs from HP-UX 11.23 server. and i configuring the Unix server as in the steps below:
1. Log in as root
2. Go to /etc/syslog.conf
3. Add a line: *.*<tab>@<Sentinel Server IP Address>
I ran a scan (clamscan -r --remove /home/) on my user's home directory yesterday & since I have so many users on my mail server, it takes a very long time to complete. I came back in this morning and realized that there were two infected files found during last nights scan:
i'd like to have logrotate compress the logs that are older than 3 days. Is this possible with logrotate, or do i just schedule a cron job to bzip everything under the folder older than 3 days?
I have been using Postfix since 2006 with no problems ever. Simple & rock solid however I was wondering what you guys use for monitoring all your email traffic and logs? Is there an application or utility you guys suggest using as a mail administrator to easily scan / view logs in a organized and clean view?
I've installed squid 2.7 stable9 in centos 5.4 x32 bit. I've installed and configured it successfully, its working fine. I want to clear few doubts, for that your kind help is needed. Parallely, I've configured another server using binary rpms with same squid version (2.7 stable9). I found that it creates a /etc/logrotate.d/squid for rotating log files (access.log, cache.log, store.log). Which is properly rotating log files using compress, dateext and size options (i manually added the size option).
But after compiling and installing from source code, its automatically not created. I want to rotate the log files in the same way as it is doing when i install using binary rpms. Below logfile_rotate entry is present in my squid.conf file (in source code installation scenario) logfile_rotate 10 Below logfile_rotate entry is present in my squid.conf file which is commented (in binary rpm installation scenario) #logfile_rotate 10 I want to rotate the log files by size (as I've more than 200 users, these logfiles size increasing very fast, ie. approx 80 MB per hour), with compress and dateext option.
When I try to login as me - it gets pretty far but then something happens and automatically logs out. This happens in Gnome, Kde too. Now - I have no problem logging in a Root. Is there a way I can try to stop the login process before it kicks me out, or is there a way to look at some files to tell me what's going on?
My server is rebooting frequently(4 to 5times a day) without any logs, can any one help me out to fined the cause for the unexpected reboots of the server. reboot system boot 2.6.18-194.3.1.e Fri Feb 4 15:16 (00:-24)
