server rebooted
by Amish K. Munshi 11 Apr '03

11 Apr '03

Greetings, My server rebooted yesterday evening, I would like to know the reason for the same. The /var/log/message has the following lines. Apr 9 16:08:13 newserver named[5358]: lame server resolving '189.187.106.202.in-addr.arpa' (in '106.202.in-addr.arpa'?):202.106.196.28#53 Apr 9 17:01:01 newserver su(pam_unix)[29172]: session opened for user bin by (uid=0) Apr 9 17:01:01 newserver su(pam_unix)[29172]: session closed for user bin Apr 9 17:18:08 newserver init: cannot execute "/sbin/shutdown" Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver syslogd 1.4.1: restart. Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver syslog: syslogd startup succeeded Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver syslog: klogd startup succeeded Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver kernel: klogd 1.4.1, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver kernel: Linux version 2.4.18-14 (bhcompile(a)astest.test.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)) #1 Wed Sep 4 12:13:11 EDT 2002 Before the reboot I had renamed shutdown to some other name so that by mistake I do not use the command to shutdown the server. What I noticed is that the system time was 17:18 when the shutdown was attempted by init, but when the server came online again the time in the log is shown as 16:07, is this due to a system (software) crash? The uptime gives an uptime of 9 hours right now, while it was 180+ days before. SYSTEM INFO : RHL 8.0, AMD 1.3G 512MB RAM. Bye. -- Amish K.

On RedHat any valid user can shut down or reboot the sysytem by giving the following shell command user@machine # poweroff user@machine # reboot How can I disable it? I have already disabled CrlAltDel. Also is there any other way a nonprivileged user can shutdown a system, if so how do I disable it. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi, I am planning to write a program to discover particulars of some hardware devices on a system. For the ones where I need to make ioctl() calls, I do not know which device file in /dev to open. How can I discover which file to open and the ioctl never fails ? thanks Manish

Guys.. i am brand new to linux.. and if mandrake 8.2 was not so user friendly.. i would have dismissed it just as much.. now i am hooked. I have a little programming bg.. hence the interest in linux.. but i am completely new to the unix/linux paradigm. mostly done work on windows. Hence find navigating throug linux a little confusing... Any of you know of a decent website or book.. that i can start learning with?
