Is this a clean CentOS 6 installation? Clean as in just updates and no manual hacks or anything?
If so I'll try to set one up and see if I get the same result.

[cdhgold]

yes clean only yum update has been run - SELinux is off

[Basher52]

OK I'll try one of those and see what I can find.......

[Basher52]

btw, it is 6.2 you have right?

[cdhgold]

yes

Code: Select all

 cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.2 (Final)]

[Basher52]

Just to be absolutely sure, what type did you use?
- Desktop
- Minimal Desktop
- Minimal
- Basic Server
- Database Server
- Web Server
- Virtual Host
- Software Development Workstation

[cdhgold]

the kick was from my host it is a virtual private server

[Basher52]

oh, so you got it figured out

[cdhgold]

no haven't had chance to try again since posting here

[cdhgold]

Problem solved: sort of

The server in question is part of a beta program and it turned out to be a bug in the kick

[Basher52]

Oh, so 6.2 is beta, didn't see that anywhere

[cdhgold]

No it was my vps platform that was in beta

[Basher52]

oh, hehe
