I've once installed this setup (although it's not yet in production) and 
it seems to work nice in once way i.e. you take care that the backup server
never gets written to unless he's master because replication works only
from master to slave and not the other way around.

The config btw. is quite easy about two lines in every my.cnf and a 
"backup" user with proper rights and that's all.

| for and action(s) to perform when each pattern is found.
| .
| A typical action is echoing the matched line in a variety of colours and
| formats including reverse video, bold, underline, and normal, which Swatch
| knows how to do internally.  Other actions include sending mail or
| executing an arbitrary program on the line.
| .
| Swatch is written in perl and uses perl regular expressions for line
| matching.

So, would you please explain what part of swatch restricts it to be only
useful for webserver logs? Also why didn't you try using
packages.debian.org to look if there's already some software released
for this purpose as debian package?

I use logcheck, it's in your distro. It runs from cron every hour, mails
anomalies and is easy to maintain.

Re: passwd file is locked

2001-08-29 Thread Tom Pendergast



Greg,
you may have an extra line in the passwd file. I 
have seen this happen on other machines. 
also your best bet, if you have to modify the 
passwd file is to use vipw. but im sure you probably already knew 
that..

  There is probably an easy answer for this -- but I don't know it.
   
  I was operating remotely, changing a password for a user and got the 
  message: segmentation fault. I went to the server and looked over the files 
  and the processes and found nothing. So, I ran the passwd program again and 
  this time I got: passwd is locked. Try again later. 
   
  So what's the deal?
   
  Thanks in advance.

Have you turned on the debug flag? It is really useful for those cases

unexpected ppp daemon termination

As a relative novice on Debian (and Linux in general), I am reasonably able
to configure packages on our server. However, I am having difficulty with
the dial-up functions of a Debian workstation. The modem is autodeteced by
the pppconfig utility, but when I try to use the dialer, I get an error
message reporting the ppp daemon unexpectedly terminated. This happens even
if I am logged in as root. Can anyone point me to where I should look to
resolve this issue?

Log analyser for general use ?

2001-08-29 Thread Nicolas Bouthors

Hi,

I'm looking for a program that would allow the watching of logfiles (mainly 
syslog), and could choose to perfom an action (like sending a mail or other) 
when a certain line/sequence appears in the files.

Idealy it would be easily configurable through regexps, run as a daemon and 
be able to watch any number of log files...

I already found about 
  - Logsurfer (http://www.cert.dfn.de/eng/logsurf/)
  - Swatch (http://oit.ucsb.edu/~eta/swatch/)
  - and many other restricted to *webserver* logs (which is not what I want)

Any other idea/suggestion apreciated.

Thanks,
Nico

Install my logtools package (it's in testing but it should compile on potato 
without any problems).  It contains all the programs you're likely to need to 
do such log splitting and example scripts of how to do it.
