[cobalt-users] Curious admin emails from Qube2 today



Now that I have my Qube2 successfully sending and receiving email, I've
started getting the regular admin emails to my (Outlook 2000) email reader.

These were the curious ones which were waiting for me this morning.  Any
thoughts from readers?

(1):  "The Cobalt server needs more memory than it currently has.  Consider
adding more DRAM to the server."

...what is interesting about this message is that I have a total of 3 users
on my Qube2, and 140mb of RAM installed (16m + 128m) and my swapfile is
130mb.  The Qube needs MORE memory??  Or, maybe it's a bogus message, (my
Qube2 was shipped with 16mb RAM, maybe one of the system monitoring scripts
still thinks it has 16mb?)  Here's a snip from my /var/logs/messages file:

Jan 10 21:41:03 seaview kernel: Memory: 144192k/147452k available (988k
kernel code, 2272k data)
Jan 10 21:41:03 seaview kernel: Adding Swap: 130748k swap-space
(priority -1)

(2)  "error: proftpd:2 unknown option 'missingok' -- ignoring line"

I've made no [custom configuration] changes here, but I did apply the
proftpd security update from the Cobalt site - maybe one of the old
arguments has been retired?

(3)  "errors occured while rotating /var/log/xferlog

/tmp/logrota28606: /usr/local/sbin/ftplog2commonlog: No such file or
directory
/tmp/logrota28606: /usr/local/sbin/split_logs: No such file or directory
error running prerotate script -- leaving old log in place"

Again, no custom changes, should be all default.  LOTS of disk space.

I have not really investigated any of these yet - checking to see if someone
has already figured any of these out first!

Thanks,

Doug
