I just noticed these in my maillog. After a quick google search, I see
that I need to have fam installed (it is) and running (according to
chkconfig it's set up to run via xinetd). Problems still persisting. portmap is running just fine, too, so this isn't (presumably) the
problem, either.
Anything else I should check?
I've seen something like this happen when I was recovering from a dead hard drive, earlier this week.
Check your DNS settings. The system hostname, and the forward/reverse DNS for your IP address should agree with each other. There appears to be some kind of bullshit going on inside FAM, where it croaks if there's some disagreement as to the system hostname, and what DNS says. I'm not sure exactly what its major malfunction was. My priorities were elsewhere, at the moment.
