[Devil-linux-develop] [0.6Beta1] Error Report - grsec error

[Dean N. <di...@ti...>]

(From the 7/17 snapshot...)

95% of the time, when I boot I get the following errors while it is trying
to create my Postfix chroot jail - though I do not believe it is Postfix
related.  The errors (and the few lines before and after it) are:

Starting hotplug modules
** can't synthesize pci hotplug events
creating chroot jail for POSTFIX.grsec: attempted resource overstep by
requesting 4096 for RLIMIT_CORE against limit 0 by (basename:1131) UID(0)
EUID(0), parent (usb.agent:1061) UID(0) EUID(0)
grsec: attempted resource overstep by requesting 4096 for RLIMIT_CORE
against limit 0 by (logger:1132) UID(0) EUID(0), parent (usb.agent:1061)
UID(0) EUID(0)
......................							[OK]
Starting Postfix:								[OK]
Setting GRSecurity parameters:					[OK]



So, the problem appears to be USB related.  I have not modified any
GRSecurity settings.

Note:  I am not (personally) concerned with the pci hotplug messages as I
don't -expect- my PCI bus to support hotplugging.

Freakin' snapshot...
Please suspend all testing with this version, I'll release soon another 
testing version which should work better.

I don't get this messages. Do you have any USB devices connected? Which 
ones?

That's OK. The hotplug system tries to starts it everytime. I get the 
same messages.

When you get the new one out, I'll go ahead and download it.  Right now,
with the exception of these errors and the shutdown error (which you have
already acknowledged and Bruce has indicated is fixed in the CVS) - it is
working for me.

I have no USB devices attached (though the way things are going I am
considering getting some flash devices to store devil-linux on the next time
I am working).  If it means anything, my USB controller shows up as
"usb-uhci".  (I know that there are 3 different types of usb controllers
under Linux 2.4.  [This gets reduced to a single common code in 2.6])

I also see in my syslog from around that time the message: usb.agent: ... no
modules for USB product 0/0/0
