Segmentation Fault on Router [OT?]
sorry if this is OT, but this problem has occured on my debian router.
simple home network setup. adsl in, p166-debian router running simple
iptables with port forwarding for services. connects a couple dozen client
machines to internet as a gateway. this machine has been routing net for
170 days now without many issues.
the problem arised when i was looking into bandwidth monitoring. i use
IPTraf for generic monitoring of the external eth device, but i also wanted
to see if i could get logging for separate internal ip's. i'd seen someone
one this list talk about ipaudit, but only quoted a sourceforge link. so -
p166deb:~# apt-cache search ipaudit
Segmentation fault
segfault? i try a few other things, thinking i maybe have the wrong command
somehow -
p166deb:~# man apt-cache
Reformatting apt-cache(8), please wait...
/usr/bin/nroff: line 100: 986 Segmentation fault
PATH=$GROFF_BIN_PATH:$PATH groff $safer -Wall -mtty-char $T $opts ${1+"$@"}
Manual page apt-cache(8) line ?/? (END)
segfault again!
i start looking at logs for any clue. (really not sure _what_ to look
for...) possible intrusion?
so, less still works, top still works, IPTraf still works... but apt and
man seem completely hosed.
logs give me nothing - either there is nothing there for me to see, or i did
not find what i needed to see.
thoughts? [intruder? hardware? ??]
