Someone hogged up a lot of space.  I'm looking into it, but I don't have a
lot of time right now.

re 172 Someone killed my login processes last night while I was in party. 
I want to know who did it.

re 174 /var/log/messages doesn't contain information that would say who killed
a login process.  Or at least it doesn't to my eyes.  I'll defer to other
staff with more experience.

  re #174:  I recently had an evening where I kept getting logged
  out abruptly, several times while in party.  Did you just leap
  to the conclusion that you were being persecuted by a vengeful
  root user?  My assumption was that it was likely that network
  problems were causing my session to drop out..  I'm not sure how
  you'd differentiate between the two scenarios in a typical login
  session, so perhaps you should at least consider other causes..

I've been having this, too - after a while, if i don't type anything, my
session just gets dropped. Is that the problem you've ben having, Mike?

I already have an item about this in coop.  maybe oldcoop.
kip
response 184 of 384: Mark Unseen   Jan 18 20:41 UTC 2004

re 179 actually that would be /var/log/sulog.

I get Pine sessions killed with various signals from time to time.  I
don't know why.  I'd been assuming some hardware glitch.

re 177 All the crappy e-mail bombers are written with Italian instructions.

re 180 Both ryan and jimj were in party at the same time; it's more than
enough to get worried.

re 184 It is /var/log/messages on FreeBSD, maybe it's different on SunOS.

re 186 I'm glad you're just a silly old goose.
kip
response 188 of 384: Mark Unseen   Jan 19 04:12 UTC 2004

It is different here.  Use of the su command is logged in /var/log/sulog, not
/var/log/messages

Naftee you are paranoid. 

And now for my paranoid issue.  I logged in to find that I supposedly sent
junk crap mail to people and it was bounced back.  I find this more than just
strange but odd since I never send mail on grex anymore and all my mail from
grex should be forwarding which is forwarding again.  so... there, and who
ever the unethical jerk who did this, f- you! f- you  and your large a-hole!

It's probably a virus, choosing an e-mail address from the infected machine's
address book.

response 192 of 384: Mark Unseen   Jan 19 05:06 UTC 2004

Occasionally, if I am disconnected from grex for being idle to long
but log in just after having been disconnected, I will get forcibly
signed-off again.  Unfortunately, I don't have enough debugging 
evidence to really nail down the cause but I assume there may be
a bug in the idle login killer or robocop that causes it to mistake
my fresh loging for a valid target process to kill.
