John, I already said I can't kill the process and tail -f
/var/log/messages *really* doesn't show me anything.

I am running tail -f /var/log/message in on SSH window, and at the
same time killed & re-ran "yum remove iscsi-initiator-utils -y" in
another SSH window. /var/log/message has *nothing* to report.



[root at intranet ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages

The ONLY "fix" is a reboot, but I don't want to reboot every few
minutes (have done it already a few times today as the server is a dev
server and everyone else working it (mainly web development) have to
wait and this cuts in on production time.
