Instead of starting it via the initscripts, can you start vsftpd manually? Does it fail as well? Can you try strace the process? Glenn

In my case, the error appeared after various intervals of normal operation, but I think I could provoke it by opening more windows. As several components went into the last upgrade, I couldn't tell which one caused the problem. The X11-related packages were: [2009-08-02 16:04] upgraded hal-info (0.20090414-1 - 0.20090716-1) [2009-08-02 16:04] upgraded inputproto (1.5.0-1 - 1.5.1-1) [2009-08-02 16:05] upgraded kernel26 (2.6.30.2-1 - 2.6.30.4-1) [2009-08-02 16:05] upgraded xcb-proto (1.4-1 - 1.5-1) [2009-08-02 16:05] upgraded libxcb (1.2-1 - 1.4-1) [2009-08-02 16:05] upgraded libx11 (1.2.1-1 - 1.2.2-1) [2009-08-02 16:05] upgraded pciutils (3.1.2-1 - 3.1.3-1) [2009-08-02 16:05] upgraded xcb-util (0.3.4-2 - 0.3.5-1) [2009-08-02 16:05] upgraded xf86-input-evdev (2.2.2-1 - 2.2.3-1) [2009-08-02 16:05] upgraded xorg-server (1.6.2-1 - 1.6.3-1) I don't run a customary desktop, just screen(1) in urxvt(1) on Xorg(7), all applications being ncurses driven. Doing: pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-1.6.2-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz fixed it. BTW: except for one instance where neither mouse nor keyboard worked, I was dropped back to the console and didn't loose any work, because I could resurrect everything with screen -R. It is even possible to experiment within X11, detach that screen and resume it in the console, switching back and forth between X11-grafix and console. A wonderful thing, this screen(1) program! One last thing should be mentioned, though: a few days ago, with xorg-server-1.6.2-1 running, Xorg froze on me, indicating that the problem might not be caused by the hal-debug-patch mentioned in the forum. The more so because I don't have hald(8) running at all, and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains: Section ServerFlags ... Option AutoAddDevices False # stop HAL Option AutoEnableDevices false # stop HAL EndSection The DBUS daemon is up, if that is of interest. clemens

Re: [arch-general] Bind 9.6.1-1 patched against dynamic update ddos?

So my question is more like this, is extra/bind 9.6.1-1 in the repository the same as bind 9.6.1-P1? The build date of the current package in extra/ says the 18 July but the homepage of BIND says the latest patch was published the 28 July. Best regards Fredrik Eriksson According to a commenter on the slashdot news article about this issue, this should provide a temporary countermeasure: iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j DROP -m u32 --u32 '30270xF=5' haven't tested it myself though... The current version 9.6.1.P1-1 in extra corrects the issue. k Glenn -- K. Piche kpi...@rogers.com
