Description

The conversion problem is in the installer, which has since been fixed. Can you atttach the leafnode service file from /etc/xinetd.d? You don't need tcpd either... try without it, and see if the problem continues. Finally, if the problem continues, wait for the next beta and see if it disappears - I have a compiler bug suspected for this, which we have fixed since then (-foptimize-sibling-calls, part of -O2)(or try rebuilding xinetd and libwrappers on your computer yourself, with -O1) - please update this bug after the next release (still a problem or if it's fixed) Created attachment 1087 [details]
/etc/xinetd.d/nntp
Still a problem when updating the selected components from beta4? (BTW: no need to use tcpd, libwrapper support is compiled into xinetd) Please test if the problem persists with beta 5 This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston Release-Candidate #1 The problem is the same in beta5. I have installed beta5 (not upgraded this
time). I installed the same rpm of leafnode from redhat-contrib. Converted the
nntp-service with inetdconvert. My /etc/xinetd.d/nntp file looks (still) like
this:
# Converted by inetdconvert
service nntp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = yes
user = news
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = /usr/sbin/leafnode
}
To try "without tcpd", how? With server=/usr/sbin/leafnode and no
server_args??
Yes, with server=/usr/sbin/leafnode.No server arguments. Can you try recompiling the leafnode source rpm (rpm --rebuild) and see if the problem persists? TIA. I have now recompiled from SRPM: leafnode-1.9.14-1.src.rpm
My /etc/xinetd.d/nntp looks like this:
service nntp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = yes
user = news
server = /usr/sbin/leafnode
disable = no
}
The result is a little bit different, but still problem. From /var/log/secure:
Aug 1 19:55:18 opuntia xinetd[537]: START: nntp pid=919 from=<no address>
Aug 1 19:55:24 opuntia xinetd[537]: START: nntp pid=920 from=<no address>
Aug 1 19:55:29 opuntia xinetd[537]: START: nntp pid=921 from=<no address>
Aug 1 19:55:34 opuntia xinetd[537]: START: nntp pid=922 from=<no address>
again and again until the service stops, and /var/log/messages:
Aug 1 19:55:18 opuntia xinetd[537]: warning: can't get client address: Invalid
argument
Aug 1 19:55:50 opuntia last message repeated 6 times
Aug 1 19:56:52 opuntia last message repeated 12 times
Aug 1 19:57:54 opuntia last message repeated 10 times
Aug 1 19:58:55 opuntia last message repeated 142 times
Aug 1 19:59:06 opuntia last message repeated 33 times
Aug 1 19:59:06 opuntia xinetd[537]: nntp service was deactivated because of
looping
OK - I can reproduce this. I'm looking into it now. Ah... set wait=no. I'm making the convert script do that. |
