hello,

I have logcheck running and get a report mailed every 12 hours - now it would be pretty nice if I could also understand what I'm getting to read :)

okay, I know easy ones like this:
1 Sep 30 06:00:00 cp qmail: 1096516800.650488 delivery 9322: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/

but what do these mean:

2. Sep 30 11:01:00 cp /hsphere/shared/bin/sudo: root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/root ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/hsphere/shared/scripts/server_info.sh

3. Sep 30 11:02:29 cp /kernel: Connection attempt to TCP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:445 from 213.66.252.103:4412 flags:0x02

4. Sep 30 06:00:00 cp qmail: 1096516800.570646 status: local 1/120 remote 0/120

5. Sep 30 06:00:50 cp vpopmail[95936]: vchkpw: vpopmail user not found support@:213.239.204.66

6. Sep 30 11:00:00 cp newsyslog[17968]: logfile turned over due to size>100K

might sound stupid, but does anyone know if there is a site where one could lookup system-messages to find out what they mean?

Greetings Oliver:

This is the grounds of being a system administrator; a journey that can take weeks to months to years based on one's affinity towards it.

"Sep 30 06:00:00 cp qmail: 1096516800.650488 delivery 9322: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/"

Means what it states, there is no mailbox by the name.

You can find out more information by reviewing your /var/log/maillog file for "1096516800"

"Sep 30 06:00:50 cp vpopmail[95936]: vchkpw: vpopmail user not found support@:213.239.204.66"

Means what it state. No mail box was found for support@:213.239.204.66.

Note, I am not going over ever single line item at this time.

Thank you.

"Sep 30 06:00:50 cp vpopmail[95936]: vchkpw: vpopmail user not found support@:213.239.204.66"
Means what it state. No mail box was found for support@:213.239.204.66.

yes I know, but how/where do I change/reapair this? if it's just a missing email adress in some config-file I will find it myself somehow - I just need a tip...

support@:213.239.204.66 is not a valid address.

That's all I can share without looking into the box itself.

Thank you.
