Title: Concerned about message in log
Post by: girkers on January 17, 2006, 06:32:27 AM

I am getting this message continually reported in my log:

Quote

Jan 17 15:20:01 emmy crond(pam_unix)[3692]: session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Jan 17 15:20:01 emmy crond(pam_unix)[3692]: session closed for user root

and this morning my server was dead.  I am just concerned that I have a rogue process that is causing an issue and don't know how to fix it.

Thanks for any help.

Looks like it may be coming from /etc/cron.d directory?! have you anything in there?

Thanks byte, here is the contents of my /etc/cron.d/ directory:

Code: [Select]

-rw-r--r--   1 root root     3 Dec 19 22:56 backup
-rw-r--r--   1 root admin   84 Jan 14 15:55 backup2ws.476035
-rw-r--r--   1 root root    88 Jan 15 11:33 clamav
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   188 Feb 22  2005 sysstat
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   111 Mar  8  2002 warnquota


Now how do I work out which process is causing the entry?

girkers,

I have opened a bug here as it appears the sysstat is doing something...
