Antony Stone wanted us to know: >> /etc/pam.d/xdm >> /etc/pam.d/xdm.rpmnew >> /etc/logrotate.d/xdm >> /etc/logrotate.d/xdm.rpmnew >> so which one shal i eliminate? >Rather than searching for xdm (which is what you want to leave in place) you >would have got a shorter output from a search for xdm.rpmnew (which is what >you want to delete).
Agreed. Half of the battle with unix/linux is searching for what you really want :-) >I see no reason to leave either of the xdm.rpmnew files on your machine, so my >suggestion is: >rm -f /etc/pam.d/xdm.rpmnew /etc/logrotate.d/xdm.rpmnew Also agreed. >> >> i am getting this message from my server every once in a while: >> >> Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.daily >> >> run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/freshclam exited with return code 1 >> >> error: Ignoring xdm.rpmnew, because of .rpmnew ending I'll also make the comment that those are two seperate lines. If you look in /etc/cron.daily, you'll see several files. One of them is freshclam, which exited with return code 1 when it was run. Go run it by hand and see if you can figure out what it's complaining about it. Chances are it's a permissions problem because the default meaning of "return code 1" is EPERM which is "Error Permissions" as indicated in /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h: #define EPERM 1 /* Operation not permitted */ So look at: 1) If the directory that it's trying to download the files to is owned by the user freshclam runs as. 2) If the directory where it's logging is owned by the user freshclam runs as. The next line is from some other process that ran from the hourly cron job. It was a red herring in this case (means something that looked to be related, but turned out to have nothing to do with the problem at hand). I do not know the origin of the phrase, but I bet google could find it. :-) -- Regards...
