Description Henri Schlereth 2001-02-07 04:14:00 EST

As part of security testing and to keep track of internal machine I times I
periodically
run rup. All 4 of my RH70 boxes respond. I have started rstatd on the
beta3 boxes and
it starts just fine but immediately stops w/o an error logged.

Comment 1 Glen Foster 2001-02-08 11:03:43 EST

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release

Comment 2 Bob Matthews 2001-02-09 13:29:39 EST

Can you start the rstatd using strace(1) and attach the output to the bug
report?

Comment 3 Bob Matthews 2001-02-09 16:32:52 EST

This is a SEGV during a call to daemon(3).

Comment 4 Jakub Jelinek 2001-02-13 08:16:17 EST

Bob, can you please be more verbose about why you think it segfaults in daemon?
Have you received any strace and/or debugged this a little bit?
I don't see how a program could crash in daemon (unless it is linked
against -lpthread and for some reason thread local register is broken
but rpc.rstatd is not linked against -lpthread).

Comment 5 Bob Matthews 2001-02-13 12:40:08 EST

Jakub, this was my mistake.  I saw the segv after the daemonize call and assumed
that it was happening there.  But, a little more investigation shows that the
child process is segfaulting long after the return from fork.

I will try and fix this quickly, and if I can't will reclassify as rusers bug.

Comment 6 Bob Matthews 2001-02-13 18:07:14 EST

/proc/stat layout has changed in 2.4 kernels.  Patch attached.

Bob, patch will be pulled into the next rusers build.  Thanks!
