[opensuse] console 10 syslog messages are going to active tty
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, To my surprise, syslog messages that should go to tty10 console, are popping up at the cursor position of the active tty (tty5, for instance). I'm using syslog-ng, and the config file is dated 2006-10-20: ie, it has not been modified since last October. So, either some update has broken it, or there is a bug somewhere. I'm witholding reseting the service in case somebody has some test idea. [...] Correction: those messages are not destined to to tty10 console; they are the firewall messages only, and only appear while I'm using that console if logged in, or in tty 10 if it is the current tty. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFGXpg4tTMYHG2NR9URAqFXAJ9NHA19ZvixjG6/xewnJ+SC1s8e6ACgmRuD ksNwo5urgcNrxQkb9zhcxJ8= =vH6j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

See if "rcsyslog reload" gets rid of it. Firewall messages shouldn't be going to any tty, ever, unless the .conf file has been modified. -- Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. -- François de La Rochefoucauld -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You can check it in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf And make sure that there's 'not filter(f_iptables...' in this line: filter f_console { level(warn) and facility(kern) and not filter(f_iptables) or level(err) and not facility(authpriv); }; Restart syslog.

That's exactly what I have and have had for months or years. The file has not been touched since last october, and this behaviour I noticed today.
Restart syslog.
Very probably that would work, but it is the last resource so that the bug can be investigated. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Restart syslog.
Reload, actually, which simply suspends klogd's logging until syslog-ng receives a HUP, then resumes klogd -- sending syslog-ng a HUP causes it to re-read its config file. With a restart, both are stopped, then restarted, with a possible loss of some log information.

My first guess is that somehow syslog-ng's internal data table has become corrupted, resulting in the firewall log messages somehow going to the current tty. I think that is going to be a very difficult bug to track down. Suggest you simply restart, keep an eye on it, and see if the problem returns. BTW, are you still getting information logged to /var/log/firewall? -- Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. -- François de La Rochefoucauld -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's true.

Somebody reported a very similar problem not a month ago, but I don't remember the message. [...] Here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-05/msg02084.html
BTW, are you still getting information logged to /var/log/firewall?
Now that you mention it, maybe no, then maybe there are no intrussions now. I'll fire up the donkey and see. [...] Yes, I get them into the firewall log, and if I switch to a tty, I get them too. in there. I have reported this to bugzilla, #279904 - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

News: this is related to vmware server. At least, they appear after I start a vmware session, and stop only after a reboot. (Reported as bugzilla #279904) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
