The first run reported as part of the normal output: eth0: PACKET SNIFFER(/sbin/dhclient[1005]) Does this mean there is a sniffer on my system? Most likely no: That's a common false positive from chrootkit. Dhclient is meant to listen on the interface _before_ it has it's IP-Address assigned. This means that dhclient has to look at every incoming packet. And that's the same thing that is done by packet sniffers. Therefore the warning from chrootkit.

Re: How to diagnose kernel panic?
Hi Mark, On Sun, 2006-07-09 at 15:56 -0400, Mark Copper wrote: I have a server that is brought down by a kernel panic every two weeks on average. Did it do that right from the first installation or did it run for some time without problems? Nothing untoward gets in the logs and the on-screen panic message starts with something like Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt Call trace: [c026bc42] scsi_request_fn+0xf610x294 I wasn't able to get any more at the data center... Well the first thing i'd suppose would be some problem with the hard ware (most of the kernel panics i saw where related to broken hardware). And it looks like it's something problematic with the hard drive containing the root filesystem. The steps i would do: 1.) Use google with the name of your hard drive and scsi_request_fn and kernel panic 2.) Get the hard drive checking tools of your manufacturer and test that drive 3.) If you have two machines with the same drive, swap drives between them (and check where the problem occurs then) 4.) Get a newer kernel After doing this and none of the things above helped: 5.) Write a mail to the kernel guys, tell them about the problem and what you did to find the problem. Hth, Lothar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I note in the sshd_config man page that the AuthorizedKeysFile may

for such tokens is in that file. Does anyone have an example?
tia as per usual,
Let's go:
Assume we have two users:
bob with home directory /home/bob/
alice with home directory /nfs-share/all-homes/alice/
-
If you put
AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys
in your sshd_config, sshd will look at /home/bob/.ssh/authorized_keys
and /nfs-share/all-homes/alice/.ssh.authorized_keys.
-
AuthorizedKeysFile %u/.ssh/authorized_keys
will make sshd look at /home/bob/.ssh/authorized_keys
and /home/alice/.ssh/authorized_keys (and it won't find the
authorized_keys file from alice, because /home/alice doesn't exist)
-
AuthorizedKeysFile /root/%%/authorized_keys
will make sshd look for a file named /root/%/authorized_keys. This means
that it will look for a directory named %.

Oh. Yes. You're right. AuthorizedKeysFile %u/.ssh/authorized_keys would result in bob/.ssh/authorized_keys and alice/.ssh/authorized_keys. But i don't think you want any of these. You mentioned early that you (the friendly system administrator) should be the only one, who can add authorized keys. That means that you have to create a system-wide authorized_keys file, that is only writable by yourself (like AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/authorized_keys) Best regards, Lothar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
