Did you see that? Did you check it is reachable and a correct OS
installation tree?

[CentOS] pwconv with partial /etc/passwd

[Eugene Vilensky]

If shadow passwords are already in use, and new entries are appended to
/etc/passwd that include password hashes, is it still possible to use
pwconv to generate /etc/shadow entries for just the few newly appended
accounts?

Eugene

[CentOS] Investigate the root cause of server reboot

[Justin Yao]

Hi,

My CentOS will reboot every several days. There's nothing in
/var/log/messages. I want to find out why it reboots automatically. Is there
any log I can look at? Or any suggestions to monitor the server activity?

Thanks,
Justin

You might try setting up remote syslogging to see if you catch anything 
extra there .. besides that .. if you have any indication that it is load 
related .. you might look at hangwatch 
 to try and get information 
from sysrq if load becomes too high.

Maybe look for cron jobs?  Also, if you are on a network that has
Internet access, see if you have a vulnerable kernel?

Hi Barry,

Thanks for your suggestion.
The load of my server is very light. I'll give remote syslog a try. If
remote syslog can't catch anything extra, is there any other clue?

Thanks,
Justin

Odds are that it is hardware related (power supply, RAM, etc.) and crashing
before it can log anything.
 


+1  unless it is happening at the same time when a cron job is
running, as Scott mentioned.  Inspect the fans on the PSU and CPU and
make sure they are running.   Be sure it has good ventilation and is
clean inside.

Can you sent the hardware specs?  I use a lot of HP servers and they 
have a 'feature' called ASR that will reboot non-responsive servers.
