I don't think you have a memory problem here - you have proved that the
system can boot and run a kernel - after all, the installation completed
successfully. Are you sure you installed the right kernel?

Nothing. They don't. They stay where they are launched from. Try it!
You might have some luck making them login shells (-ls to xterm), but I
don't see why even a login shell should do a cd to $HOME if it's not
started tehre, unless you put a cd $HOME in your .login or whatever is
the bash equivalent.
Or you could make a wrapper for them.
Or you might check the launch options in your window manager, which
seems to be enlightenment. But I use enlightenment occasionally, and I
can assure you that when it runs as window manager under my startx
or kde, then the xterms and Eterms run from my $HOME.

Well, I would suspect a hacker attack. Make sure that you have updated
all of the security stuff on the system. If suse uses rpm do
rpm -Va |grep '^..5'>/tmp/verify
and see if thee is anything suspicious. (Some of the files will
certainly have changed, but if things like find, ls, ps have changed you
have a hacker attack).
Next, I know on Mandrake 7.1 there was a bug which overflowed the nodes
on the / filesystem So although it indicted there was lots of disk
space, all the inodes were used up
Look in all the /var/log files and directories for a huge bunch of
files.
When you moved to a new box did you just move the disks or did you
reinstall?
What happens if you do not run apache? (I know, it is supposed to be a
http server, so this is just a test).

Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2000 00:21:24 GMT
I work for Ossec International (ossec.com, if you're interested in our
page/product/whatever). We have recently installed a firewall at a
company in our base here in Sydney. Everything was going okay until
three weeks in, when it suddenly stops, it just freezes - no keyboard
input, nothing.
We thought at first it might be a hardware problem/conflict of some
kind so we took out the four-port ethernet card and replaced it with
three standard ones. Then it was still freezing, so we just replaced
the entire box with one with a quicker processor.
It's still freezing.
The only clues we have to what may or may not be happening is one entry
in the Apache access_log which gives a line that looks like this:
^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
right after the freeze is registered as happening.
The company in question gets alot of emails every day; over 5,000. Even
though they use Microsoft Exchange as their mail server ( we shan't
hold that against them too much; we're a pretty easy-going company, as
companies go ) it still shouldn't be enough to freeze the box up
entirely.
We are using a slimmed-down SuSE 6.4 on the box ( slimmed down in that
it's a firewall; we don't have a compiler, or any other uneccessary
stuff on there that might interfere with security in any way ).
Please help! I am but a humble trainee with no clue as to why this is
happening. Any more freezes ( it's now once a day, at half three in the
afternoon, bang on time - sometimes more ), and they are probably going
to cancel the contract, and as we are such a new company, we need all
the contracts we can get!

Subject: Kernel won't mount raid0
Date: 04 Dec 2000 01:29:50 +0100
Hi,
I really applied all my research abilities ;) for two days now. So, I
guess the following either does not work for some strange reason, or I
might be doing something blatantly wrong.
I have:
oo A RAID 0 array, identified in mdtab via
/dev/md0 raid0,16k,0,802eab69 /dev/hda3 /dev/hdc2
Made under slink, now runs without problems under potato+raidtools.
oo Kernel 2.2.18pre23 and Kernel 2.2.17pre6 (both tried), with the
necessary RAID options (raid0, boot) enabled. Not as modules of course.
oo The lilo setup looks like:
image = /vmlinuz
label = Orlok_Kernel
root = /dev/md0
read-only
vga=4
append="md=0,0,16,0,/dev/hda3,/dev/hdc2"
Note: the only parameter I am not really sure about is how to specify the chunk
size factor. However, I have tried several values. (16, 16k, 4, 8,...)
The kernel runs smoothly until it has to mount /. I.e., before, /dev/md0 gets
assembled correctly (literally the same messages as you get with raidtools), but
the mounting of / always fails with:
---
EXT2-fs error (device md(9,0)): ext2_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 64 not
in group (block 3670038)!
EXT2-fs: group descriptors corrupted!
---
The numbers can vary..
Althouh it looks like my fs is corrupted (or needs to be updated
somehow), this not the case, as I have currently set up a initrd
solution, which runs smoothly. The only difference seems to be the way
how /dev/md0 gets assembled, via kernel (no-no) or via raidtools (ok).
I would be delighted if someone could shine a light on me. Does it,
for example, work with newly made arrays (mine have been made under
slink)?
Thanks,
Stephan

waaaaaaaaaaah. Raid mirror root. Bad bad bad. Can you really do this?
It'd requires heaps of special support in the kernel! Where did you see
that you could? (Yes, *I* know that one can, with lots of prayer, but
it's not something that the random person in the street should assume
is just a normal situation that requires no effort).

Yes, well, not surprised. Go find a kernel that is guaranteed to do
raid mirror root, and set it up for it. You need at least::
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=y
CONFIG_MD_MIRRORING=y
CONFIG_MD_BOOT=y
and possibly more.

We cannot use the rpm command because our distribution of SuSE is not
the standard one. It's a slimmed down copy of it, for security reasons.
We check the files using MD5, and nothing appears to have been changed.
If it is a hacker attack, I want them working for me! because there's
no record on any other of the logs listing this as a potential attack.
For this reason, one of my co-workers thought that perhaps it was their
mail server (exchange) sending bad requests to the firewall, but I
don't know, now.
When we moved boxes, we did a complete re-install, and then uploaded
the backup, with the old settings, which is why I'm wondering whether
this could perhaps be a conflict in some setting somewhere. I don't
know enough about smwrap to be able to say so, though, with any
certainty, and I don't know how to find out.
It would be difficult to test how the box runs without apache because
it's a working model - it's in use 24 hours a day - and taking it down
just to run some experiments is going to really piss off this company.
We have a similar setup to this troublesome location in another place,
and they also have Exchange, and nothing there seems to go wrong, so I
really don't know whether taking down Apache would help. The only
difference in locales is that this problematic place has a user base of
ninety or so, and the other (working one) is smaller.
It's very confusing, and very frustrating. I really appreciate all the
suggestions, though, because at least I can find out what the
problem /isn't/, and may be therefore narrow down the scope a little
more.

Subject: Setting up ftp server
Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2000 01:30:07 -0000
I have linux-mandrake 7.2 complete and I am trying to setup a ftp server.
I installed wuftp but it does not work. I tested with ftp 127.0.0.1 and
get the message Connection refused.
With a previous version of redhat 6.1, I had no problems after installing
wuftp.
What am I missing?
Any help or resources would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
