Hi,
Our Suse expert left recently, and now we've encountered a predicament
that we haven't been able to solve. Maybe someone here can point us
in the right direction.
We're running Suse 10. Sunday evening at 11:01, the server started to
have problems. As I understand it, these are the main issues
currently:
SSH not working
Trouble starting X
Can't mount remote drives
Apache webserver not working
It has been very difficult to diagnose the issues because we can't
even get onto the server using SSH or VNC. We have been able to use
our Blade console to get some limited connectivity enabling us to view
files and logs. We have been able to run YAST which it indicates that
several modules are broken, however, it will not allow us to update
them or reinstall these modules when we attempt to through YAST
(speculation is because of the SSH issue it won't connect to get the
modules). Crontab jobs still execute.
Anybody have anything to suggest? One of my group who is fairly
knowledgeable on other Linux flavors thinks that some automated update
was running Sunday night and the server crashed or failed in the
middle, corrupting modules (or at least the SSH stuff).
Thanks for any suggestions/information you can provide.
Go there, hook a monitor on it and a keyboard and get physical access.
Also is it the incoming or outgoing ssh that does not work? From what I
see it is a firewall problem. Turn off all of the firewall and see what
happens.
Also what CAN you still do. Start with a tracerout to an internal IP
adress, then to an external IP adress, then to an internal domain name,
then to an external domain name, then a telnet on a port that you need
to ssh to. Als do the same from a different PC to that SUSE machine.
You say your run SUSE 10.0. That means it is not openSUSE. That means
you most likely have a contract with Novell. Contact them if all else
fails.
