RE: EC2 Instances Future
I personally need medium and large instances, but I would think others might need the tiny and small as well.

Problem making software distros
I've got an older FreeBSD 6.1 install that will no longer allow me to build any software distributions.

RE: Problems with IPFW causing failed DNS and FTP sessions
My DNS config is pretty generic. I did try putting in the options to stop
recursive lookups, but all that did was cause even more failures (permission
denied lookups, etc...), so I removed that.
Here's my basic config;
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
pid-file"/var/run/named/pid";
dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};
I'm not sure the problem is specific to named, but something more systemic
with IPFW like I said, FTP sessions are timing out as well, and when I
turn off IPFW that fixes that problem too.
Is there any way to monitor what IPFW is dropping, by some sort of counters
rather than logging everything, and see what's going on internally to IPFW?
Thanks!

Subject: Re: Problems with IPFW causing failed DNS and FTP sessions
Okay, what's your DNS setup? Are you running a recursive cache that
contacts the root servers directly? Using your ISP's servers? Etc.
As a mitigation step, I tried pointing my caches to 8.8.8.8 and
8.8.4.4. - but it turns out that Google is intentionally blocking
(returning NX responses to) many netblocks right now because they
contain hosts known to be part of the botnet in the DDOS DNS
amplification attack.
I'm mirroring the root zone everywhere I have a cache, and it's helping.

At first glance, your stateful rules seem rather wrong, unless there's a check-state above. Also, in and out aren't discriminating enough - every packet is seen by the ruleset more than once. You should think in terms of interfaces, direction, etc. Are you doing NAT? Stateful rules with NAT are indeed possible, but subtle. Your problem has nothing to do with server load, and probably everything to do with not-terribly-well-conceived ruleset.

Problems with IPFW causing failed DNS and FTP sessions
Hi everyone. recently my server started having issues with DNS and FTP sessions either not resolving or timing out. I've tracked the issue down to IPFW. if I issue a 'sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.enable=0' then my issues go away. I have the basic rules like this for dns; 01160 allow udp from any to any dst-port 53 in keep-state 01161 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 53 in keep-state 01162 allow udp from any to any dst-port 53 out keep-state 01163 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 53 out keep-state When I try an nslookup sometimes they fail, sometimes they get through, even if I change my DNS server to google, my ISP, or even OpenDNS. the firewall seems to be causing the issue. I have about 65 rules in all. Any ideas what could be causing this? My server load is low, usually hovering around .2 How can I look at the actual amount of traffic that the IPFW module is processing and track down potential performance issues? My server isn't pushing much data, only around 4-5 Mbps sustained.

Best RAID setup
I'm getting ready to setup a new FreeBSD 8.1 64 bit server and wanted to know everyone's thoughts on which way to go. software RAID 5 (or 10) or hardware RAID 5 (or 10). I currently have a 3Ware card in one of my servers and it works great, but I haven't really been keeping up on what the latest RAID support is. How is the ZFS support these days? Is it production ready? What about hardware RAID, is there a compatibility list somewhere with what hardware (or pseudo hardware) RAID controllers are supported? I'm just looking for the most stable, and production ready RAID that can handle at least 1 TB disks and create volumes in the 3-4 TB range. Any thoughts, feedback, caveats, etc. are welcomed.

This is _exactly_ what I did, and as soon as I try a 'make all-depend-list' the error shows up. I don't even have the X11 system installed (it's a headless server, with no GUI). This is on a CLEAN 6.1 install, without any upgrades/patches, just straight off the ISO install and after a portsnap install/extract. I tried building it _before_ I updated the ports and it would build a 5.1.2 php ok, but I need 5.2.12.

RE: [PHP] RE: Clean PHP 5.2.12 Build Core Dumping / Can't Build Port - FreeBSD 6.1
Ok.. just for grins I installed a new instance of 6.1, NO Patches, just straight off the ISO... I loaded the ports that came WITH the distro, and was able to make php 5.1.2 ok... When I did a portsnap fetch, portsnap extract, then went into the /usr/ports/lang/php5 and just typed make I get the same error... SO as it seems, the port is broken, at least for working with FreeBSD 6.1. Can anyone give me some hints on how to build this sucker by hand? Seems as though there are a bunch of patches that are referenced in the distinfo file. I REALLY need to get this taken care of asap, any help is appreciated.

RE: Clean PHP 5.2.12 Build Core Dumping
Well, I hadn't edited the Makefiles, I was planning on it (but won't now that you pointed out the make option), but never got past making the generic port I tried adding WITHOUT_X11=yes to /etc/make.conf as well as X11BASE= and X11BASE="", but I still get the same error. Where to go from here? Do I have and old version of something that is causing this? I get this error _right away_ before anything is even built.

RE: Clean PHP 5.2.12 Build Core Dumping
Ok... well, your idea is a good one, but it seems that the port is broken.
I did a port update, which brought in the latest php build info from
December, but when I run 'make' (without even editing the Makefile to add my
own other modules I need) I get this:
X11BASE is now deprecated. Unset X11BASE in make.conf and try again.
*** Error code 1
Not even sure where it's getting that error message from, since I can't find
any reference to X11BASE in any of the files in the package, or in my env.
Any ideas?

Clean PHP 5.2.12 Build Core Dumping
Ok... more info on the problem...
I started with a clean untarred archive, ad just ran ./configure, make, make
test I get a core dump.
After running gdb on the core dump I noticed it was the sqlite stuff that
was dumping, so I re-ran configure with --without-sqlite
--without-pdo-sqlite --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
Now the gdb shows this:
Core was generated by `php'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x081d50a7 in sqlite3Select (pParse=0xbbc00080, p=0x0, eDest=164102200,
iParm=0, pParent=0x24, parentTab=139141440, pParentAgg=0x84c10d8,
aff=0x0)
at
/usr/local/directadmin/customapache/php-5.2.11/ext/pdo_sqlite/sqlite/src/sel
ect.c:3172
3172 for(j=0; jnExpr; j++){
First off, the compile directory listed is wrong, don't know where it got
php-5.2.11 from, that's the last version I built and is installed on this
system. Maybe it's pulling that from the system php?
Secondly, even though I've told it not to use sqlite, it still seems to be.
Any help here would be appreciated in moving forward. My whole reason for
needing to rebuild php is I need the pdo_mysql module instead of the
pdo_sqlite version.
Thanks!

What I need to do is build an identical server to that one and test it all out locally. Since the drive is currently 500 miles away it will take me some time, but I'll see what I can do. I'll also check my BIOS settings to make sure the RAID is disabled. I'm almost positive it is, but who knows.

The hardware I have is the built in SATA controller on the motherboard,
which is GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3. With the NVIDIA GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 and
Super I/O chip: ITE IT8716.
Dmesg had no output pertaining to the partition/format/dd, etc... Just
messages from my ftp daemon. If you're wanting to see the boot messages,
this is from the last time I rebooted when I installed the disk:

RE: Building a SAN using FreeBSD
Well, that's is a possibility, but seems a bit of a hack to me... The SAN device would be interfaces to another FreeBSD box so there's no need for Samba... what I'm looking for is a way to extend 1 file system to an infinite size by adding additional devices/network boxes, like what is available from HP and the bigger players, based on a journaled file system. Multiple disks basically added together like RAID, but in a software/hardware setup to create one large volume (and single file system). The use would be for web services... so when a particular volume fills up I can extend it by adding disks and not have to move home directories to different file systems, etc... _ From: Derek Ragona [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2007 2:14 PM To: Don O'Neil; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Building a SAN using FreeBSD At 04:00 PM 10/6/2007, Don O'Neil wrote: Anyone have any resources for building a FreeBSD based SAN device?

OpenSSL/PHP/Apache problem
Any time I compile PHP 4.4.7 with --with-ssl my apache 1.3.39 server core dumps on start up on my FreeBSD 6.1 dual core AMD X2 box (in 32 bit mode). Anyone have a work around for this or suggestions where to look/try? I was having a similar problem with Curl, but once I told curl where the OpenSSL home dir was and re-built it that solved that problem. The location of my openSSL is /usr/local, so it's in the 'default' location. I ran the core through gdb, and that is what prompted me to isolate the problem to --with-ssl.

RE: Server rebooting itself
I did some digging... I too had bought the machine built by an integrator... They however used DDR2 RAM that is 2.0V where as the motherboard spec calls for 1.8V DDR2. I'm betting that is what my problem is, so I ordered some DDR2 that was listed on the compatibility list from the MB mfctr. I'm hoping that, as well as the BIOS update solves everything.

RE: Server rebooting itself
We tried that, 2 different PS's and no change, so I don't think that is what it is. I'm thinking its either a BIOS issue, or _maybe_ memory. There may be 1 bad cell somewhere in RAM that gets randomly hit and causes a reset. I'm going to try upgrading the BIOS, and then if that doesn't work, put in new ram from a different manufacturer. I've heard of MB/RAM combo problems before. The ram we have in there isn't cheap, but is by no means 'top shelf'. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tuc at T-B-O-H.NET Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 8:29 PM To: Marwan Sultan Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Server rebooting itself > > > I tried installing 'mbmon' port, but when I run mbmon -d I get: > > > > > > mbmon -d > > > InitMBInfo: Operation not permitted This program needs "setuid > > > root"!! > > > > > > The SUID flag is set, and I'm running it from root.

One of my requirements was it had to be put on the net for me to check remotely. SOMEHOW I got the idea to compile perl to put the machine through its paces. (Don't remember how/why/etc). Once machine I was doing it on and all of a sudden the compile fails. WEIRD. So I try a few more times.. Dies in the same place every time. . The integrator swaps this, that, the other things, to the point only 2 things weren't swapped. Case and power supply. Swaps the power supply, thing builds fine. Next machine, it starts failing again. I asked if he used the power supply from last time and he told me "YES". I offered to BUY the power supply and throw it in the garbage. SO, long story short (TOO LATE), WEIRD WEIRD STUFF can happen with a seemingly good power supply.

Server rebooting itself
I have a 6.1 machine (AMD X2-5200) that reboots itself from time to time for no apparent reason. Today, I caught it in a reboot and on the console it said it was shutting down the CPU's, like someone had hit control-alt-delete on it (the same message)... But there is no keyboard attached to it, and nobody was logged in. This happens randomly every 3-20 days (no apparent pattern). I originally thought it was the 3ware controller causing it, but there was no correlation. I tried installing 'mbmon' port, but when I run mbmon -d I get: mbmon -d InitMBInfo: Operation not permitted This program needs "setuid root"!! The SUID flag is set, and I'm running it from root. I am wondering if there is a possible power supply issue, or something like that. I swapped the PS some time ago for a bigger one, but that didn't change anything. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get mbmon to work I'd love to hear them. The MB is GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3 GF6100 AM2, which uses the nforce4 chipset. I'm not even sure if mbmon works with that newer chipset or not. I'm suspecting power problems further upstream (at the data center) but I have no way of knowing. There doesn't seem to be any coorelation with usage either, so I'm kind of stumped.

I've been getting these messages fairly regularly lately. We're running SA 3.1.8 and Exim 4.6.6 on FreeBSD 6.1.

Quotacheck failing
I'm having a problem with quotacheck failing and giving this message: quotacheck: /home/quota.user: seek failed: Invalid argument THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: /dev/twed0s1d (/home) However, I have run a full fsck from single user mode on this volume and it comes up clean every time. I've removed the quota.user and had it re-generated, but that didn't help either. Anyone know how/why this is happening, and what do try to do to fix it? Is there possible some corrupt file somewhere on the volume that quotacheck doesn't like, but is technically fine according to fsck? I haven't heard from any one with any ideas, so I'm reposting. Beyond moving the data off the array, reformatting it and moving it back (which I did originally) how can I fix this problem?

Problem with Quotacheck after crash

Migrating from i386 to AMD64
I've currently got a production server in place that I want to do some hardware upgrades on. We're currently running a Dual P3 1.4 GHz and I plan on replacing it with an AMD X2-5200+ cpu/mb. Now.. Can I just use the same SMP kernel I have currently (assuming the correct drivers are loaded) for the X2 processor if I just want to run it in 32 bit mode? Or do I need to do a complete re-install/upgrade to the AMD64 platform version of FreeBSD? I'm not worried about memory usage past 4 GB (that's all we're installing), or the slight (possible) increase in speed from using the native 64 bit stuff. Are there any issues I should be aware of?

If you create a login class in /etc/login.conf and set the priority capability, then assign a user to that class in /etc/master.passwd (the class field is the 5th one, it's usually empty), then their priority (aka niceness) should get set then they log in.

RE: Mysql Hogging all system resources
This isn't exactly what I want to do. According to the FreeBSD Handbook, by defining a CPU limit it will just kill any process that uses more than the limit. What I want to do is effectively throttle the process so it doesn't use up more than a certain % CPU, but still lives, esentially taking longer to process than if it had unlimited resources. That way the process still runs and the system isn't taken to it's knees. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Moran Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 1:32 PM To: Don O'Neil Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Mysql Hogging all system resources In response to "Don O'Neil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I have a customer that loaded up a HUGE table and was doing all sorts > of fancy stuff in it, and not waiting for the process to finish before > sending the same query, and eventually loading up the server to the > point where the only thing I could do was unplug it. > > Is there a way to prioritize or set the amount of resources that MySQL > is allowed to have?

Recommended SMP Hardware
I'm getting ready to obsolete one of my old dual P2-800 servers and wanted to get some suggestions from you all... I'm going to be building a new server to replace it and need more power, but not a TON more power... Something along the lines of dual 2.5 GHz processors with 4 GB RAM should be more than enough. Any one have some suggestions for lower priced dual processor motherboards and CPU combos? Athlon, Xeon, P4, whatever, doesn't really matter. I'd like to hear from some of you who are actually using certain combos in production and your experiences (good or bad) with them and FreeBSD 6.2. Thanks! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RE: Problems with SMP on 6.1-STABLE-200608
More info on my problem. I swapped out the MB, CPU's, RAM, Power Supply and I still have the problem with the kernel panicing when running on SMP. When I re-build the kernel for NO SMP, the machine is rock solid, even under VERY high loads. I setup the old MB, CPU's, RAM & Power Supply on the bench, with a new 6.1-STABLE-200608 AND 6.2-RELEASE install and run dozens of copies of the stress port. Even with it bringing loads up to >250, and eating up all available RAM and SWAP I could not get the kernel to panic. The ONLY difference between the bench setup and the production setup is a 3-Ware Escalade RAID card. I am going to setup another array on the bench with a spare card I have and see if I can get it to panic under that setup (which will be identical hardware wise to the production box). The only thing I can think of right now is one of the following: 1) Bad RAID card or cables <- unlikely since it should show up even in uniprocessor mode 2) Problem with the TWE driver in SMP mode <- more likely I'm leaning towards #2, especially with the other recent reports of someone else getting kernel panics with 3ware products. Anyone else have any thoughts as to what scenarios/tools I should try to isolate the problem? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 8:48 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Problems with SMP on 6.1-STABLE-200608 On Wed, 28 Mar 2007, Lowell Gilbert wrote: > "Don O'Neil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >> I've been having problems with my server freezing up, having the #2 >> CPU 'shut down', kernel panics, and all sorts of nastyness >> >> Originally I thought it was exim, or possibly bind, or bad hardware >> (mb, cpu or memory)...

RE: Time changed back to old daylight savings
Well, the file did exist, and when I deleted it and reran ntpdate it didn't make a difference. The man page says that the file needs to exist if the CMOS clock is set to local time, which it is.

RE: Time changed back to old daylight savings
I don't have the port tree installed, so you are correct that I did not update them first... I installed JUST the zoneinfo port, which according to: http://www.freebsd.org/releng/dst_info.html "the misc/zoneinfo port can be installed to update the /usr/share/zoneinfo files, followed by running tzsetup(8) to update /etc/localtime" So why wouldn't installing this port fix the problem like advertised? I shouldn't even have the problem to begin with... When the time change happened a few weeks ago my system updated correctly, but since then I've built a new kernel (the only thing I've done) and now it's not right. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lowell Gilbert Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 11:08 AM To: Don O'Neil Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Time changed back to old daylight savings "Don O'Neil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Ok, Thanks to Paul who sent me the previous tzdata file I was able to > download the port and install it...

RE: Updating Bind & OpenSSL on 6.1-Stable/Release
Don't assume that just because this is the first time I've raised concerns about the ports means that this is the first time I've used FreeBSD I've been using FreeBSD since 1.X. My point is that it's a pain the rear to do a CVSUP/Buildworld (takes a long time) so the ports collection is the easiest way to update/upgrade software. It would be nice to have some sort of reference as to how the original software was built and installed (the build options) or have the ports be built to match the original to facilitate easy upgrade of one or two items. I agree that in general these are 'add on' tools, but there are core functions (bind, ssh, etc...) that get patched from time to time because of security and it's a LOT quicker to re-install the port than it is to do a buildworld. These are just my observations. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Crist Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 5:10 AM To: Don O'Neil Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Updating Bind & OpenSSL on 6.1-Stable/Release On Mar 27, 2007, at 12:12 AM, Don O'Neil wrote: > If they are 'ports' specificly built for FreeBSD, shouldn't the port > maintainer make them install like the originals were?

The ports tree installs things to the /usr/local/ prefix, to help you keep your ports and base system separate. This is a normal behavior, and has been normal for a lot longer than you have been using FreeBSD. I apologize, but I doubt the developers are going to change the standard behavior just because you got confused the first time you tried to replace a base system component.

RE: Updating Bind & OpenSSL on 6.1-Stable/Release
If they are 'ports' specificly built for FreeBSD, shouldn't the port maintainer make them install like the originals were? Makes sense to me Or maybe the original install/release needs to be changed to install the same as the port. It's a pain having to debug where everything went, change config files, update startup scripts, make symlinks, etc... When if it were Linux a simple RPM install would update it and I'd be done with it.

Binary Upgrade from 6.1-Stable to 6.2-Release
I didn't get any response on my original post, so I figured I'd 'summarize' it better. Bottom line is I'm having SMP problems under 6.1-STABLE-200608 and suspect it's a problem with 6.1 that may have been addressed in 6.2... Here are my questions: I'm concerned about doing a binary upgrade to 6.2 won't fix the problem, and I've tried using freebsd-update, but it complains about the version not being compatible. Is there a way to 'force' the ID of the system to be 6.1-RELEASE so that freebsd-update will work? If I do a binary upgrade from CD, will it also update the kernel sources so I can build a new one? Will it complain about it not being compatible like freebsd-update? Will doing the 6.1-6.2 binary upgrade as posted by Colin (the author of freebsd-update) also update the kernel sources? Any help/recomendation would be appreciated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You should have named.conf in /etc/namedb unless there's something funny with the original install.

Problems with SMP on 6.1-STABLE-200608
I've been having problems with my server freezing up, having the #2 CPU 'shut down', kernel panics, and all sorts of nastyness Originally I thought it was exim, or possibly bind, or bad hardware (mb, cpu or memory)... I've swapped out the motherboard & CPU's & memory from an old server that was running 4.11 ROCK SOLID for years... At first I thought the problem was solved, but now it's popping up again... The 2nd CPU gets 'shut down', or kernel panics, esentially taking the system offline. If I install a single CPU (non-smp) kernel, then the system works fine... (I did this on the old motherboard before I swapped it out, and it worked fine too).. So I'm wondering if there is an SMP bug or problem I'm running into. I'm running 6.1-STABLE-200608, an ISO image I downloaded from the archives when I built the box (NOT 6.1-RELEASE). I'm runining an Intel Serverworks motherboard with 2 1.4 GHz PIII's... The problem only seems to show up under high load. I'm wondering what I should do here... I'm concerned about doing a binary upgrade to 6.2 won't fix the problem, and I've tried using freebsd-update, but it complains about the version not being compatible. If I do a binary upgrade from CD, will it also update the kernel sources so I can build a new one? Will it complain about it not being compatible? Is there a way to 'force' the ID of the system to be 6.1-RELEASE so that freebsd-update will work? Will doing the 6.1-6.2 binary upgrade as posted by Colin also update the kernel sources? Would my best option really be to start over with a fresh install rather than upgrade? (this would be painful) I'm going to try to test out 6.2 on the old MB/CPU combo to see if I can re-create it under 6.2 as well before I do anything. As well as try doing an upgrade on the bench from CD from 6.1-STABLE-200608 to 6.2-RELEASE... Since this is a production server (and for months it was burned in with no apparent issues) I only have 1 shot at this to do it right.

Updating Bind & OpenSSL on 6.1-Stable/Release
Hi all... I'm having some difficulty updating OpenSSL 0.9.8e and Bind 9.3.4... I've tried both the packages and the original source... The problem is this.. My bind install that came on the 6.1 installation runs from /usr/bin, whereas both the package and the source want to run from /usr/local/bin... Not usually a problem, but when I build it or install the package they both complain about wanting a file 'named.conf', which I don't have and can't seem to find an example version. My older version of bind 9.3.2 didn't have this file. OpenSSL wants to run from /usr/local/openssl, whereas my old version was in /usr/bin, the source wants to run from /usr/local/ssl... In either case I just linked the new location back to the old location and it seems to be working ok. My question is, where do I get the 'named.conf' file... I need to get my bind updated for the security issues and why are the packages trying to install into new locations? I would think that you could just install the package and restart the service, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Tracking down memory leaks
My setup seems to have a memory leak of some kind and I'm not sure how to track it down When I first start up the system and all the processes start the machine has >1GB in free memory... After running for 20-30 minutes the free memory drops to somewhere around 20MB... The longer it runs, the more it chews up free memory until it eventually kernel panics and then reboots and the process starts all over again. I originally thought the reboot was from bad RAM, so I swapped it out, but that didn't help. I ran a memory check and everything checks out ok. Any ideas where to look (Hardware? Bad CPU? Software?). Temperature is ok, lots of fans in the box and round cables so there is good air flow. I'm stumpted.

Exim 4.66 Causing Kernel Panics?
Anyone aware of a reason why a fresh build/install of exim 4.66 would cause kernel panics and reboots on my FreeBSD 6.1 machine? My machine, just out of the blue this morning, started rebooting every 3 minutes I narrowed it down to exim I think... As long as I never started up exim 4.66 the machine didn't have the problem... But as soon as I started it up, whammo... Panic and reboot. I've since rolled back to 4.63 and the problem seems to be resolved at least for the moment. The strangest thing is that I upgraded to 4.66 several days ago and the problem didn't show up until this morning. I'm not 100% sure the problem is exim but that's the only thing I could narrow it down to. Perhaps there is a new exim bug/exploit that I just didn't get hit with until today? I deleted the message queue just in case it was corrupt.

CRON Script not working right.
Anybody have any clues why a shell script run from root's CRON would act differently then when run directly from the command line?

Here's the gist of the script: #!/bin/sh TDIR=`date +%m%d%y%s` mkdir /tmp/$TDIR mv /source/* /tmp/$TDIR/ chown user:group /tmp/$TDIR/* chmod 660 /tmp/$TDIR/* mv /tmp/$TDIR/* /destination/ When run from roots CRON it does everything but the chmod correctly, which is strange. When I run it from the command line as root it works fine as expected. I'm running 6.1-STABLE-200608.
