Before 13:00:01 after the server restart and ~ 12:40, there were no PAM errors despite the large amount of mail going across the server. You can see the start of the problem in the logs the first time the spamassassin daemon (program) is called on the hour to clean and learn from spam in the Mail/spam-learn imap folder: Jan 15 13:00:01 bonza /usr/sbin/cron[4029]: (david) CMD (/home/david/linux/scripts/Learn_as_spam_cron) Jan 15 13:00:25 bonza imapd[4050]: PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted Jan 15 13:01:32 bonza sshd[5039]: Accepted publickey for david from 192.168.7.101 port 41909 ssh2 Jan 15 13:01:38 bonza su: (to root) david on /dev/pts/2 Jan 15 13:05:01 bonza /usr/sbin/cron[5100]: (drr) CMD (/usr/local/bin/Learn_as_spam_cron) Jan 15 13:05:03 bonza imapd[5102]: PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted Jan 15 13:06:53 bonza imapd[5333]: PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted Jan 15 13:06:55 bonza imapd[5329]: PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted Jan 15 13:06:55 bonza imapd[5435]: PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted Jan 15 13:06:56 bonza imapd[5440]: PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted I am including the syslog (/var/log/messages) for approximately the 20 hours before this problem cascaded into a kernel melt-down. Hopefully, there will be something useful in the log. The pertinent part of the log to look at is the Learn_as_spam_cron script entries that are followed by the PAM error that appear to ultimately cascade into kernel errors over the course of a day. Before this meltdown, the server had been up ~3 days. For the record, the permission on the script are: root@bonza:/home/david/linux/error # l ../scripts/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 david users 4096 2008-01-06 20:47 ./ drwxr-xr-x 7 david users 4096 2008-01-12 19:28 ../ -rwxr----- 1 david users 95 2008-01-06 20:47 Learn_as_spam_cron* I'll attach the log after this post goes through. If you want/need anything else or want me to run more tests let me know. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
