Please forgive if I am not wording this correctly and my current lack of information, but I am losing my mind trying to figure this out and I am not currently behind the servers in question. I have two servers, one is Redhat 4 and one is Centos 4. Both of them get the following error with every binary it seems that requires glibc to function
/usr/sbin/sshd /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libz.so.1) /usr/sbin/sshd: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libz.so.6)
replace sshd with yum and other programs that all have the same issue essentially. These are not my servers and according to the owner nothing was actively done to them. One failed about 6 months ago with this error and one as recently as a month ago.
Has anybody seen anything like this before or have any clues as to what I can do to correct it? Can't use yum since it doesn't work due to this. I will be able to gather more information if requested in a few days but I'm just trying to get an idea as to what is happening since Google is failing me on this one.
rpm -Va
which checks for corruption in the files that were installed from an RPM file. I'm skeptical that nothing at all changed since it's weird that they're all now asking for different versions of glibc. – Bratchley Jul 5 '16 at 19:58rpm
oryum
) was meddled with in the last 4 years, they may be using binaries out of sync with the libc. Nothing/noone currently is looking after the dependency tree of RHEL 4. – grochmal Jul 5 '16 at 20:11
