Hi list! Every day /var (which is on its own partition) becomes read-only.
# mount -o remount,rw /var works ok but in the long run I must find and solve the problem. This is a Sarge box. I suspect some cron job, but I don't know what to look for. The only customized cron job I know of is this: the box automatically installs security updates once a day from security.debian.org with the following: 0 16 * * */2 LANG=C sudo apt-get update 30 16 * * */2 LANG=C sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade And I have a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50automatic-security-installs with the following. // Do default handling of changed conffiles (should be keep user changes) // If default is set to do nothing, then keep user changes //DPkg::options::--force-confold=--force-confdef; Dpkg::Options {"--force-confold";} -- Note that I use Debian version 3.1 Linux samir 2.6.8-2-386 #1 Tue Aug 16 12:46:35 UTC 2005 i586 GNU/Linux Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG key: 1024D/7050614E Fingerprint: 1408 C8D5 1E7D 4C9C C27E 014F 7C2C 872A 7050 614E Learn about secure email at http://www.gnupg.org
