Hi;
So how the heck DOES one learn Linux? The books don't have the answers,
redhat.com doesn't either. Care to help? Please?
I once installed a program called interchange. Someone I hired to secure my
box advised we close its port, so he did. After a while calls upon calls to
interchange got stored in logrotate.status to the point that it bloated to
15 MEGS! Crashed my box. Well, someone from this list kindly helped me with
that one. Then, I noticed there was a problem with /usr/bin/slocate. Now,
when I say *problem*, I mean the damn thing was chewing up 80%+ of my CPU!
This is what got my attention the first time, when it core dumped and we
had to access it via single user mode. So I d'l'd a new rpm for slocate and
updated it. Now I get this error when I try to slocate something:
>>>
fatal error: slocate: decode_db: 'pathlen == -1'! Corrupt Database!
<<<
I feel like I'm cutting off one head of the Hydra just to watch more pop
up. Where, oh where, do I go from here?
TIA,
BenO
