Another issue that popped up tonight. The time on a payroll server seem to be slower then usual. Futher troubleshooting on the box revealed that it took 4 seconds to move 1 second on the server. This caused the payroll servers to stop communicating between each other as time sync was part of a security measure built into the payroll software we run here.
Some googling later it seem to be a BUG with the kernel. The fix, suggested to either update the kernel, recompile the kernel or add some kernel parameters in GRUB to fix the issue. I decided to go with the kernel parameters because this was a production server and the downtime window was very slim.
The fix,
- vi /etc/boot/grub.conf
- Add to the end of the kernel line. “clock=pit noapic nolapic”
- reboot and check time. “watch date”

The latest update for the Defensio Anti Spam WordPress was released today.
This update fixed all the issues me and other Defensio users were experiencing recently. The previous version broke and caused the plugin editor and theme editor to stop working. Bug Report
I have the latest version installed and running now. So far nothing seems to be broken.

Defensio anti spam plugin version 1.1.3 for WordPress was released yesterday to fix a few bugs.
This update fixes the broken link issue in the WordPress admin dashboard activity area. See Bug Report. The link was still pointing the the old directory structure “/defensio/”, the fix will change this to “/defensio-anti-spam”.
There are still a few pending issues I wrote about in my previous post which the Defensio team is working to resolve now. Thanks Carl Mercier

Found my first bug in the latest Defensio plugin version 1.1.2. Upon activating the plugin a few things stop working in my WordPress admin section.
1. Can’t load the Defensio quarantine page from the dash board.
2. Can’t load the plugin editor anymore.
3. Can’t load the theme editor anymore.
Once I have the Defension-anti-spam plugin turned off everything is back to normal.
I ain’t no php specialist so I can’t operate on the source files but I’ve submitted a bug report at Defensio’s Community site in hopes for a quick response.
