Hi
I'm Sagara Wijetunga from Tomahawk Computers from Singapore, makers of the
Tomahawk Desktop, a FreeBSD based desktop operating system
(http://www.tomahawkcomputers.com/) which is free for personal use.
Ever since we upgraded our Tomahawk Core OS to the FreeBSD 7.2 sources, we
experienced a strange issue as follows:
1. The root cannot login from the console, child process forked die with
“uid 0: exited on signal 11”.
2. Normal users can log in, no issue.
3. Normal users can type “su” and become root, but “su -l”
results child process forked die with “uid 0: exited on signal 11”.
4. The /var/log/messages shows “(cron), uid 0: exited on signal 11
(core dumped)”
Based on your symptoms, it looks like something in the restart commands
file for root causes the shell to crash...
What shell are you using for root?
Hi Roland, thank you for the reply.
I have tested with bash, sh and csh. It seems the child process forked
simply die irrespective of the shell.
There is no change in the dot files for root:
[r...@tds sagara]# diff /root/.cshrc /usr/src/etc/root/dot.cshrc
[r...@tds sagara]# diff /root/.login /usr/src/etc/root/dot.login
[r...@tds sagara]# diff /root/.profile /usr/src/etc/root/dot.profile
Here is the log message for "su -l":
Jul 2 12:38:17 tds kernel: pid 943 (su), uid 0: exited on signal 11
Btw, what is "restart commands file for root"?
Regards
Sagara
