Not an identd issue.
what modules are in use?
I reported this on the recommendation of RH installation tech support. I would be more than happy to supply you with any other information if you think it would help. How do I get a list of other modules in use?
type "lsmod"
Without identd: # /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: P NVdriver 988288 0 (unused) auditmodule 21912 1 tulip 39328 1 usb-uhci 21668 0 (unused) usbcore 51808 1 [usb-uhci] ext3 62624 3 jbd 41092 3 [ext3] 3w-xxxx 28448 4 sd_mod 11900 4 scsi_mod 98584 2 [3w-xxxx sd_mod]
ok wtf is auditmodule if it's SNARE, please just remove it, it's chockful of bugs and doesn't actually gain you any security. (anyone who looked at the code can circumvent logging with 10 lines of C) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73733 ***
LOL! I use wtf all the time myself! I will rid the system of auditmodule and check 73733.
