I am running SuSE linux 6.4 on a 500 MHZ processor 128MB RAM and 128MB swap. Problem: Everyday this machine suddenly does some sort of hang. I suddenyl cannot ssh to it it times out, same thing with services from inetd like ftp. I even tried to enable telnet but it also times out. At this point people can still browse pages from this machien and all the pages are fine but any cgi script does not execute with the message: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Upon rebooting the server these problems always go away and it functions again properly and then later starts the same behaviour. I have failed to find evidence of a break in in my logs and I am running all the latest upgraded packages for security fixes. The only services available to the world are dns bind 8.2.3-REL apache 1.3.19 openssh latest from the suse site ftp vsftpd-0.0.15 ALl other ports are closed by an ipchains firewall. The kernel is patched with solar designers secure_linux patch, LIDS is installed and snort and a whole array of IDSes.
Hi semat, I've experienced the same scenario on a maschine running SuSE 7.0 with secumod. After unloading secumod everything worked fine.... Is there secumod for 6.4 and did you load it? Best regards, Ralf Ronneburger semat schrieb:

I had secumod and yes it gave me those problems and I promptly got rid of it. It was causing a few memory leaks apparently. On Fri, 20 Apr 2001, Ralf Ronneburger wrote:
