i have rebooted my redhat 7.2, after the system load went very high, at sendmail.
now my imap , pop3 and ssh won't work.although my ports, 110, 143,22 are all open , and all daemons are working
i get these errors st sendmail logs, dics usage is only at 23%
pop3 service init from UNKNOWN
imap service init from UNKNOWN
MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection
to MTA
DSN: Local configuration error
config error: mail loops back to
me (MX problem?)
DSN: Data format error
Service sshd:
Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use.: 2 Time(s)
Yuck..
You've got problems with your dns and mail config..your sshd cannot bind() due to a process(sshd) already bound and listening(?), and it looks like pop3 and imap might be working.
Post the results of lsof -i -n, and
kill -hup all pids listed in:
lsof -i -n | awk ' {
if ($2 ~ /[0-9]+/) {
print $2
}
}'
Did you mess with any of your configs before the problem?
You are using webmin I notice, does this work?
Otherwise I would just issue a hup to all server and xinetd processes and start trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.
If a server does not respond or errors out, kill it and
then check your logs. You may want to check out man syslog.conf and set up logging for any event right now
instead or warning or critcal entries and add an entry
for your daemon processes.
