ACL Problem ?

[matt]

hi Guys, been running grsecurity (1.9.11 patch against 2.4.21 till I reboot with 1.9.12/2.4.22) and have finally finished trying to write my acl's. It not perfect yet, I've got a couple of cron jobs that still seem to be having problems, although I don't ket anything logged by gradm to indicate a problem with the acl (however they work fine with the acl's disabled).

I get the following errors mailed to me by cron;
/etc/cron.daily/exim:
/usr/bin/savelog: xmalloc: ../src/make_cmd.c:89: cannot allocate 67 bytes (0 bytes allocated)
/usr/bin/savelog: xmalloc: ../src/make_cmd.c:89: cannot allocate 67 bytes (0 bytes allocated)
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
sh: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate
memory
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate: line 4: 8557 Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 139

savelog is just a shell script while logrotate is a binary and have the following relavent acl's

/usr/sbin/logrotate o {

As I don't get any errors logged I'm a bit lost as to what is causing these tasks to fail, so if anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful.

i think logrotate is running out of memory because of this:

RES_DATA 25440 25440
RES_STACK 17384 17384
RES_AS 1790240 1790240

try to increase them and see what happens.

Thanks guys,

I think your right, I recompiled my kernel with 2.4.22 and the latest grsecrity patch and increased the logging limits, after doing this I got some errors logged to that effect.

I'll know tomorrow if it's all worked or not
