Re: [expert] ld-linux.so.2 and amd
:~Has anyone else killed 'amd' permanently and lived to tell the tale !! I have been using both "amd" and "autofs" since the "autofs" came to life, and i can assure you that "autofs" runs much more reliably than amd. Therefore, I use autofs to mount "homes" (every machine exports its home directory to "thrusted-hosts" netgroup, and autofs mounts all the "home" directories it can see to /homes/MACHINE). Basically, these "homes" directories have never given me any headache. Then, I had to add an user whose home-directory came from completely different system, and it was not exported as "home", but as "home/MACHINE", or so - and I thought - what the hell, I will just give him a "/net/MACHINE/home/MACHINE" path to his home-directory and forget about it. Guess what? Several days later, amd got stuck and a few days of calculations were gone. This happened repeatedly, so i had to add a rule to "autofs" config file and everything works OK since then. I still keep "amd" running with default settings, because i cannot bring the "autofs" to mount "anything" under "/net" the way amd does (anybody knows how to do it), but I do not use it for anything crytical anymore. :~The auto-mount of amd is not necessary but I take it that means I would :~have to manually 'mount' each file system/partition ? My brain is tired :~again so bear with me :~if this is all common knowledge...??? Either that, or you mount everything from "fstab" or you let the "autofs" do it. cu Denis - Mag.

Re: [expert] ld-linux.so.2 and amd
I will certainly try that next time this happens? I have never had a inetd daemon die before. I would be curious what the causative factors might be.? I recently "commented in" everything and could this be the problem? What to open up without too many security risks? This is pretty much a 24/7 , static IP cable-modem connection. Thanks for the idea:-) William Bouterse Juneau, Alaska

Yes but not so likely What to open up without too many security risks? open only what you need, and only to who you need via firewall rules The first thing I would do would be kill amd, i've yet to see a use for it that justifies the risks This is pretty much a 24/7 , static IP cable-modem connection.

I'm on 6.1 and still using the old netscape and I have this problem occassionally too.

Re: [expert] ld-linux.so.2 and amd
Looking at 'top' switching to ps ax then kill -9 PID # is usually what I have done. Also sometimes kill -9 PID # of 'ld-linux.so' However I am about to go back to the previous version if this keeps up. Or maybe some of you coder-gurus can get together with Civileme and cook something up! "To Kill or not to Kill, that is the question !!??" I like that idea . However Axalon or any of you other folks "out there".. Has anyone else killed 'amd' permanently and lived to tell the tale !! I have never paid much attention to mounting and unmounting files systems except for /dev/cdrom or maybe /dev/fd0 etc. I guess thanks to amd, So from what yu are saying The auto-mount of amd is not necessary but I take it that means I would have to manually 'mount' each file system/partition ? My brain is tired again so bear with me if this is all common knowledge...??? I have buggered-up or should I say "have contributed toward greater bugginess" of my L-M 6.1 system, so often these last couple months that it seems, every time I attempt to "Fix" one thing two other things screw up. Ah Well I love Linux anyway !!! William "the unrepentent" Bouterse Juneau, Alaska
