hi

seens my boot log dosent working ....on centos 5 while the system boot and check the services and mark the good ones with "OK" colored green i have 2 error that failed colored red "failed" but i cant see what the problems becuse the screen runing 2 fast i try to press space or cntrl break but nothing seems to stop the screen any idea ???

Check 'dmesg' after bootup, your other syslogs like /var/log/kernel, /var/log/messages, or if it's a service that's failing, try the respective daemon logs?

hi 10xx 4 replay i dont have /var/log/kernel
[root@Elena ~]# less /var/log/
acpid boot.log conman.old/ dmesg maillog.1 pm/ rpmpkgs.2 spooler wtmp
anaconda.log boot.log.1 cron faillog maillog.2 ppp/ samba/ spooler.1 yum.log
anaconda.syslog boot.log.2 cron.1 lastlog messages prelink/ secure spooler.2
anaconda.xlog btmp cron.2 mail/ messages.1 rpmpkgs secure.1 tallylog
audit/ conman/ cups/ maillog messages.2 rpmpkgs.1 secure.2 vbox/

and in the log/messages dosenr have any errors i think the problems is in the /etc/mail/trusted-users

Is /etc/mail/trusted-users a file or directory? Assuming it's a directory, it sound like you need to

chmod o-w /etc/mail/trusted-users

In terms of daemon logs, the individual services have their own logs or log groups, so failed mail related services will log to maillog, samba services log to the samba directory, etc.

I see /etc/mail/trusted-users is a file. Here's what it should look like

so chmod 644 /etc/mail/trusted-users

What did you do to change it?

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 127 Mar 15 2007 trusted-users

still the same messages on srartup

is there is a way to stop the start up process to see what is the error?Jul 26 13:25:10 Elena sm-msp-queue[1975]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): /etc/mail/submit.cf: line 544: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/trusted-users': World writa

That probably wasn't the best idea - the permissions within /etc/mail were OK. You may need to set them back to 644


Can you please post

ls -la /etc/mail

and

ls -Z /etc/mail

check if / or /etc is world writable ?

maybe this can help you,
