Difficulties in Task queue log

[MvdP]

Hi All,

I have some weird messages in my Task queue log. Used Google and this forums search but I cannot find any similarities.

Does anyone know where these messages are coming from:

2011:04:05-05:08:51: Unknown mysql password format: 'unknown'
2011:04:05-05:16:56: Unknown mysql password format: 'unknown'

And now that we are on it anyhow... anyone also knows what these ones mean / how do I get rid of them:

2011:04:05-00:12:04: removing old lock: /var/log/proftpd/'some ip'.bytes.lock (age: 61 seconds)
2011:04:05-00:12:04: Can't open /var/log/proftpd/'some ip'.bytes.copy for writing

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

for resolve this I make 777 proftpd dir in /var/log.
But I don't think it's the best way.

Hmmm I wonder if this is a good solution.

Hope there are other solutions as well.

Thanks for mentioning it though!

I another thing for not put chmod 777.

chown root.nobody /var/log/proftpd

nobody for group because "ip.bytes" file must be user and group nobody

chmod 764 /var/log/proftpd

764 because group nobody must can write in the folder for "ip.bytes" file

I think it's more secure, everybody can't write in folder.

Perhaps staff can find something better but for moment I don't find nothing else.
