[CentOS] Xorg fills up /var/log/Xorg.0.log with AUDIT messages (up to system crash)
Hi, on a CentOS 6.4-workstation we have the problem, that Xorg fills up /var/log/Xorg.0.log with AUDIT messages faster than one can read. Within four hours the logfile grew to 160 MB and usually within 1-2 days applications and sometimes the OS crash because /var becomes full. Here a small extract of /var/log/Xorg.0.log: [...] [ 24272.458] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 disconnected [ 24272.487] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24951 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.490] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 disconnected [ 24272.500] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 30 disconnected [ 24272.516] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24948 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.516] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 30 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24952 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.521] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 disconnected [ 24272.549] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24957 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.552] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 disconnected [ 24272.564] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 30 disconnected [ 24272.575] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24954 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.577] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 30 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24958 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.585] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 disconnected [ 24272.612] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24963 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.616] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 disconnected [ 24272.628] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 30 disconnected [ 24272.630] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24960 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.633] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 30 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24964 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.644] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 disconnected [ 24272.673] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24969 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.679] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 disconnected [ 24272.691] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 30 disconnected [ 24272.692] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24966 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.697] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 30 connected from local host ( uid=9435 gid=577 pid=24970 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 572 [ 24272.711] AUDIT: Wed Oct 2 15:41:44 2013: 2625: client 28 disconnected [...] The client numbers are just a small repeating set, but trying to find the associated processes through the pids fails, because when the logfile entry is written, the processes are already gone. For sure these messages are associated with "something" the user(s) do, because as soon as nobody is logged in, these messages stop. We have lots of CentOS 6 machines, but this is the only one with such an issue, even though there are more or less the same applications running on all machines. Xorg is running with the following options (CentOS 6 default settings): /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -nr -verbose -audit 4 -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-jQ4DVP/database -nolisten tcp vt1 Questions: * How can one find out which processes are responsible for these audit messages? * How can I stop auditing completely? With CentOS 5 Xorg ran with "audit 0" and I was unable to find the place where the audit level is set. * (more generally) What's auditing good/used for anyway? Any hint is appreciated.

[CentOS] About Memory mirroring
Greetings, Was wondering if any software exists for mirroring memory across hosts like what drbd does for disks. I am somewhat aware of copying of a VM's memory when a live migration is done. Another query, as I have not seen too many VM migrations, is that what happens to the memory contents such as data yet to be written onto disk, states etc happens when one of the RHCS cluster hosts which is running VM fail: does the cluster restart the machine? An example perhaps would be suppose the VM is running a movie what would the user's experience would be. I tried it on cluster with ctdb. The movie simply restarted. Any experiences? -- Regards, Rajagopal ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
