Is there going to be a back port to Hardy 8.04 LTS? I have had a serious issue with a Virtual Server where the only access is via SSHD. This resulted in an errant CPAN update downing the entire box due to all services started via SSH being oom_adj == -17 and therefore not being killed when out of control.
I cannot risk setting SSHD_OOM_ADJUST=0 in /etc/default/ssh as it is essential that sshd remains running at all cost. I have temporarily put echo "0" > /proc/self/oom_adj in /etc/bash.bashrc as a workaround. At least this may stop some potential problems. This is serious in a Virtual Server environment, where RAM is typically low and remote access requirement high. -- hardy: openssh-server oom_adj can lead to denial of service https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293000 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
