Hi

This means that the irattach with binds Linux-irDA failed to shutdown.

This means that the SMARTD or Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, which monitors the reliability or hdd, and predict the likely hood of a failure, failed to shutdown.

This means that kudzu, which detects and configures new and/or changed hardware on the system, failed.

As long as you aren't having any problems with this it would appear as though this is ok. Check out this thread: Boot Error with SELinux

This appears to show that there was an error with some of the communication ports in a general terminal interface.

I don't know what this means. :(

This is saying that an Apache webserver is failing to start.

Squid is a web proxy/cache server. So This is saying that it failed to start.

I don't know what this means :(

This would appear that Database server like MySQL, or PostgreSQL server is having an access failure.

These three are all Kernel errors. They have to do with the lowest level of how the OS operates.

This says that someone or something is trying to SSH to the IP address 0.0.0.0 with isn't valid ever, and gets back that it in use. Which can't happen.

[quote]Sep 24 03:33:59 sshd[29662]: Failed password for root from ::ffff:10.100.1.101 port 2840 ssh2[quote]
This says that someone or something is trying to SSH into your computer from that IP, which is either a Static IP or an internal ip, now that port, with root acces, which isn't working.

I hope that this is somewhat of a help to you. If you ever have questions about linux commands or words you can always look them up with the manual command in terminal.

Let me know if you need any more help, and I will do what I can.

Cheers!
