This comes from too much disk space taken by log files. Usually an indication that the log rotation is failing. Make sure yourserver is updated with all the patches. If you don't have them all thiscould be the reason its happening.

If you are getting something else, you may want to do a little digging to find out why and what has changed. One of the best things you can do is grab the chkrootkit.tar.gz file ftp://ftp.pangeia.com.br/pub/seg/pac/chkrootkit.tar.gz and check your system out. tar -xvzf chkrootkit.tar.gz cd into the directory chmod 755 chkrootkit ./chkrootkit and let it run. *********************************************** Please note this is - Unsupported by Cobalt!!! *********************************************** -- Bill Irwin Technical Support Engineer Sun Microsystems, Inc. _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list cobalt-security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
