Hi all,
I have several student labs with machines running Seawolf with all the
latest upgrade rpm's. These machines are time synchronised to ntp time
servers and use NIS to provide password services.
When we tested the system yesterday we ran into one problem. The cron daemon
runs a script every 10 minutes "/sbin/rmmod -as". How can I stop this,
where is it run from, we do not need it on these lab machines.
THE script itself is not a real problem but for dome reason each time it
runs there is an attempt to contact the NIS server and of course if several
hundred machines attempt this at the same time, they're all time
synchronised many of them will time out and this generates lots of e-mails,
see below, which are causing problems with our mail servers and cluttering
up the mail.
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 13:20:26 +0100
From: Cron Daemon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Cron <root@dolans-35> /sbin/rmmod -as
yp_all: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out
I don't want to stop the cron daemon and I don't want to use the MAILTO
variable with cron to send the messages to /dev/null unless I have to.
Any help appreciated.
Tony.
