Any wisdom as to what these messages mean
Apr 11 13:09:40 madcow PAM_pwdb[25276]: flushfork: dfile(0) Bad file descriptor
Apr 11 13:09:40 madcow PAM_pwdb[25276]: of_flush: Bad file descriptor
They're cluttering up a /var/log/messages file (and doubtless the various fairly
large messages.X files which I just erased) on a machine running RH5.0 with
kernel 2.0.35. They don't seem to be doing anything harmful, apart from consuming
disk space, but I'm just curious.
And yes, I know RH5.0 had lots of problems, but this is a working machine, doing
its job very well, and it ain't being fixed until it's broke :-)
Kindest regards,
