I've recently run into a similar issue at a client's box. So please try these steps: As root and from the console run this command: /etc/init.d/pam_abl status It should show a list of blocked hosts and users and also the date and time of the events. Check this output for two things: a) You should see no error message that indicate a corruption of the PAM_ABL database. b) You should see no events older than say a week. If you see events older than a week OR get an error message that indicates a corruption of the PAM_ABL database. Like in the case that I had recently, the corruption of the database no longer allowed removal of old records, so the PAM_ABL lists got so long that the GUI literally choked on processing and displaying them. To fix this issue run these two commands: rm /var/lib/abl/hosts.db rm /var/lib/abl/users.db That will delete the PAM_ABL databases. They will get recreated automatically, so no worries there. Then restart CCEd for good measure and check the PAM_ABL blocks again in the GUI: /etc/init.d/cced.init restart That should fix it. -- With best regards Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
