The majority of occasions I have come across this kind of message have been when the indicated file is a corrupted generic link to the real library. The second thing I would ask has this always happened, if not what was the last thing you did before things broke. The library concerned is supplied by ALSA, and I would guess from the oss bit has something to with OSS. It is a link to /usr/lib/libaoss.so.0.0 on my install. I would check whether the link is broken. You could reapply the SuSE ALSA package but it may be simpler to fix the link. And just for your information: % rpm -qf /usr/lib/libaoss.so alsa-32bit-1.0.13-22 It works for me. as smith said, it might not be installed possibly.

Why the OP gets 5 rcode entries and me two (before the lame error) might
have to do with the number of forwarders in his definition. The first
block in my case corresponds to the forwarders, the second I don't know;
in any case, they are DNS servers my daemon interrogated. But the culprit
one is that of the atacckers, not any dns in our side.
My DNS is purely a cache DNS and is only authoritative for local address
space and is not that busy.
like mine.
I do not see the above after making the host
query (though the dns logs do not seem to have been updated for quite
some time and I have not made any changes the configuration in this
respect for one hell of a long time, so this something I need to check).
Because I have this entry in /etc/named.conf:
logging {
channel lame_errors {
file /var/lib/named/log/named-lame-servers versions 2 size 200k;
severity debug 3;
print-severity yes;
print-time yes;
};
category lame-servers { lame_errors; };
};
My DNS logs are also directed to the main log files and nothing shows up
there. My firewalling is done at the DSL router (I tend to prefer not to
have front line firewalling on a machine that is providing other
services), the DSL modem relays external DNS requests (no local machine
directly contacts the ISPs DNS servers). There was a serious pause for
the first request for the address but subsequent request were rejected
quite quickly
More or less the same here.
In this case, the fails are legitimate rejections... of the other four
one has to ask why are these asked again (and again) in the original
case when they either broken or do not want to talk...
It must have to do with the response given by the DNS server that makes
our side to think that the answer is not definitive and that another
server may think different.
I would also ask
are these addresses defined as the forwarding servers. If both you and
the original poster are both running a full DNS server this would
suggest that queries to the address space quoted is being re-directed to
an address of a server which the referrer believes can handle this
address space (it is a long time since I read the relevant RFCs and I
cannot remember how this bit is supposed to work so I am probably way
off beam here ). These referrals seem to be broken hence the DNS error
reports...
Mine asks first my ISP DNS servers, then the root servers. Ie, I have
forward first.
This would tend to imply that the initial ftp query is not an
attack on the ftp accounts concerned but an attempt to attack the DNS
itself by firing up a lookup for a dodgy address via a mangled server. I
cannot replicate the problem but it might be worthwhile to have a look
at the communication involved by those who can
It maybe coincidental and not intentional, but who knows.
I guess the original poster is setting 'UseReverseDNS off' up for proftpd and
the others servers(e.g. Apache, SMTP, POP) do ReverseDNS and the attacker is
attacking various servers at the same time.
Therefore, the proftpd is silently processing it but the others servers
complain. I thought so.

Thanks though, like I said I will keep looking. If you want to track the problem, then there is a netconsole.

The way to use a netconsole is written in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt. If the kernel-source package has not been installed yet, you need to install it. As you read the document, E.g. Suppose set up like the following two Linux boxes.

If nothing is displayed, then I suspect that an UDP packet on the remote box or the target box (or both) is dropped by firewall. Check /var/log/firewall and pass a udp packet for logging agent. As for the setting, that's all.

Re: [opensuse] Filesystem corrupted or what?
Hello, On Mon, 02 Apr 2007 01:12:49 +0200 jan kalcic [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi People, openSuSE 10.2, never had a problem with filesystem but suddenly it seems it has become bad as it takes something like 10 or more seconds to open a file, especially the biggest ones, and in the meanwhile it doesn't allow to do anything else but wait. I've already run fsck (ext3) to check it but no error is shown and yet I still have big troubles working with big files (100MB). In addition, during the wait, the hard disk sounds like it is doing such a big work that it's so busy it can't even move my mouse. Quite strange. Could it even be an hardware (hard disk) problem? The problem looks like caused by a bad sector. Did you see a dmesg or /var/log/messages? If It is a bad sector, then you would could use DFT(Drive Fitness Test). First of all, **backup your all data**. Next, download Drive Fitness Test. http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/table.htm Downloads - [Drive Fitness Test] download a CD image - burn it to CD-R After boot from CD-R, choose [2. ATA support only] if you won't check for SATA drive. select it Up and Down to test for your drive and start [Advanced Test]. *Caution*: An Advanced Test takes very long time becuase that checks a all sector. (Perhaps it will take about a hour as your HDD) And if that found a bad sector, then correct it. After this check, you would must fsck by using LiveCD or Knoppix before boot system.

Re: [opensuse] Grabbing MAC address of interface
