Howdy: Running RHEL 3.0 on an intel box. I was trying to look for some info with rpm and I got a permission denied error. I decided to run 'rpm --rebuilddb' and I got this when I tried to do 'rpm -qa php' (or whatever else): [snip] rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/__db.003: Permission denied rpmdb: PANIC: Permission denied error: db4 error(-30982) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30982) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm no packages [/snip] But on a separate terminal, I can get results again. The only messages I'm seeing in the /var/log/messages file are: [snip] Aug 11 10:22:12 test_serv kernel: application bug: webcached(28020) has SIGCHLD set to SIG_IGN but calls wait(). Aug 11 10:22:12 test_serv kernel: (see the NOTES section of 'man 2 wait'). Workaround activated. Aug 11 10:22:16 test_serv pam_timestamp_check: pam_timestamp: `/var/' permissions are lax [/snip] Why is this?
