jeez, i had this in my drafts for 2 months: http://scie.nti.st/2013/4/13/using-duplicity-for-full-server-backup-on-ubuntu-12-dot-04/ thought i deployed it (well now it is up :) huh, what does this mean $ uptime Cannot open "/lib/libkvm.so.5" broken install :) damn, really? or something dunno. looks linux it's fbsd 9 oh, then you probably need to install the kvm stuff googled the errors i got, literally no results Hmm. still sounds like a broken install. did it work yesterday? it was happily serving sites til sometime around 1-2am this morning did you recently install or upgrae something? nothing has changed i was asleep maybe you got rooted maybe i got rooted ouch turns out no, i wasn't rooted That's good... But? i have no idea How can you be certain you weren't rooted then? reloaded off a known-good vm image took the old one for analysis/mounting later :v Ah, so then the known-good image is throwing the error too? no, that worked i have no idea why it happened in the first place maybe diff to see what files are changed install tripwire next time? :) maybe nothing was changed, binaries md5s seem to match google results First thing I'd check - is /lib/libkvm.so.5 in place? my webroot matches my staging environment 1:1 according to git all files are in place the /lib/whatever files are all in place ##freebsd tells me i broke linker cache or hit some kind of file descriptor issue if it wasn't a compromise Hm yeah could be you ran out of fd's Odd, but potentially the cause tbh i'm not really a freebsd user, and was really confused when googling the error message turned up absolutely nothing I remember when I first came across libkvm and thought "But this is a physical box. Why does it care about kvm [virtualisation]?" yeah might have been fds while it was adding up the .so to the new command haha brycec that was my thought too "this can't stand for the kvm i think it is can it" wtf is tripwire try http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tripwire Short answer: an IDS. whole lotta nothing looking at upgrading first my perl to modern perl, then 8.3 to 8.4
