Jun 25, 2010My 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'.

Ubuntu Servers :: 10.10 - Daily Cron Script Does Not Run

Red Hat :: Servers Don't Send Out A Daily Logwatch Email?
May 9, 2010Gidday, for some reason some of my RHEL servers don't send out a daily logwatch email (most do, but two don't) - and sadly I have no idea how to troubleshoot this.
Can anybody give some help/hints as to where/how I may troubleshoot this. I should add that these servers can/do send emails (I have some cronjobs that fire off emails upon completion of their jobs, so I know its not a sendmail config issue).
Fedora Servers :: FC8 Dell Poweredge Crashes Almost Daily?
Jan 5, 2009I have a Dell Poweredge, 6 months old, running Fedora core 8. I have 2GB RAM and 500Gb SATA HD. I am running 3 VMWare machines. Two Win2003 Servers and 1 XP Pro. My server crashes almost daily. It doesn't actually reboot, it just freezes. It got to the point where I had to get a device that automatically reboots the server when it can't ping the server anymore. /var/log/messages has no entries that indicates the server crashed. It just stops at the point where it dies. The windows VMWare server also have no errors in the event log to indicate a problem.

Sep 16, 2010I recently upgraded a Ubuntu server from version 8.04 to 10.04 and after a reboot the webmin and syslog-ng server do not start at boot anymore. I can start them manually by doing /etc/init.d/webmin start and /etc/init.d/syslong-ng start and everything works fine until I root again. Granted this machine is rarely rebooted but when it is, I don't want to have to remember to start these services. I have tried a full removal of syslog-ng and reinstall but to no avail. The entries are in the rc directories like they should and the links are valid.

For what I can figure out no single direct cause I get a high load average and the following syslog output at random intervals. Generally the load average will drop back down to normal however the kernel errors will still continue What little I have been able to find has pointed to memory issues. I am not totaly convinced this is the cause as the server will be showing >50% free when the errors are happening.

Ubuntu Servers :: Syslong-ng -> Mysql For Cacti Syslog Plugin Setup?
Aug 16, 2011I guess with major changes to syslog-ng, php-syslog going to licensing cost, and major overhaul to the syslog plugin with cacti - alot of documention was either disjointed, outdated or I just couldn't find it.this was performed on an 11.04 Ubuntu Server tall. I already had Cacti up and running and just needed to make it also a syslog collector.This guide assumes you already have mysql running, and cacti is already in place. If something looks wrong - please correct me. I am doing this from memory - trying to remember what all I had to do, and not a super admin.Required ubuntu install packages:libdbd-mysql syslog-ngcacti install packages:[URL]
Stop syslog-ng if you want. Changes should not take effect until you restart it.Should save the default syslog-ng configuration if you want to be safe. Below is the absolute minimum you need to get this working.Configuration on ubuntu is location in /etc/syslog/syslog-ng.conf Also make sure you fill in the proper username and password for mysql.
Code:
@version: 3.1
#Bare minimum syslog-ng configuration

Jan 17, 2010Currently 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??

Apr 11, 2011I am running my Ubuntu 32 bit server on top of Windows 7 64 bit with VirualBox. It's a 2 core Atom. It's been working good for about half a year. But the last about 6 weeks the system time only in Ubuntu is going slow. About -8 per 24 hours! I can only guess because I have more things running in my Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
I can set it right by coping the hareware time to system time with this command:
Code:
hwclock --hctosys
I want to run a crontab to have that command run every minute. But it don't seem to run.
