I installed RH8 recently on a new machine and just ran up2date for the first time and selected everything for update (including kernel items). It prompted me for the root password and then took a while but all the packages were downloaded and then repackaged and then it said 'installing /var/spool/up2date/kernel2.4.18-19.8.0.athlon.rpm' and the little watch came up and that's all she wrote... the install window went completely dead (no window refreshes - nothin'). So I looked in /var/log/messages and found this: ---------------------- Dec 29 19:22:35 tltdev01-lin01 userhelper: pam_timestamp: timestamp file `/var/run/sudo/greno/unknown:root' is too old, disallowing access to up2date for UID 500 Dec 29 19:31:14 tltdev01-lin01 userhelper: pam_timestamp: timestamp file `/var/run/sudo/greno/unknown:root' is too old, disallowing access to up2date for UID 500 Dec 29 21:20:57 tltdev01-lin01 sshd(pam_unix)[30904]: session opened for user greno by (uid=500) ----------------------
So I need a little help here. What state is my system in. I have not rebooted because I'm afraid it might not come back up since it was dealing with a kernel update. What should I do to correct the 'too old' problem in the message log. Can I just kill the install window and rerun up2date again?
