Hello, Dear Managers!
I have some problems on Alpha 3000 workstation running DU 3.02b.
wtmp file grows up itselft while nobody logins. There are a lot of
records like (output of fwtmp command)
------------------------------------------------------------
getty console console vt100 cons console
08933 05 0000 0000 907573040
Mon Oct 05 09:37:20 1998 MET DST
LOGIN cons console
08933 06 0000 0000 907573040
Mon Oct 05 09:37:20 1998 MET DST
------------------------------------------------------------
There is another strange thing with /var/log/messages file:
------------------------------------------------------------
>ls -l messages
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 50133 Oct 5 09:05 messages
>tail messages
Oct 5 09:15:03 ignosc4 vmunix: scc0: input silo overflow
Oct 5 09:25:07 ignosc4 last message repeated 3221 times
Oct 5 09:35:08 ignosc4 last message repeated 2163 times
Oct 5 09:43:23 ignosc4 last message repeated 7188 times
Oct 5 09:55:18 ignosc4 last message repeated 5984 times
Oct 5 10:05:02 ignosc4 last message repeated 8270 times
>date
Mon Oct 5 09:48:15 MET DST 1998
----------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, last message dated Oct,5 10:05, but file
modification time is one-hour before (right time), and date shows you
current time.
So, I have the following questions:
1) Why wtmp file grows up itself?
2) What does means that strange LOGIN records in wtmp file?
3) Why I have message scc0: input silo overflow, what should I do?
4) Why syslog time is not syncronized with system time?
Thank you in advance!
