Description of problem: /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad sometimes opens pop3s listen port and prevents dovecot from starting (dovecot needs that standard port). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): quota-3.14-1.fc7 How reproducible: Restart system. The problem is apparently intermittent. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Reboot 2.Intermittent problems 3. Actual results: /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad process interferes with dovecot start due to listen port 995 (pop3s): # lsof -p 2087 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME rpc.rquot 2087 root cwd DIR 8,2 4096 2 / rpc.rquot 2087 root rtd DIR 8,2 4096 2 / rpc.rquot 2087 root txt REG 8,2 72296 1949872 /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad rpc.rquot 2087 root mem REG 8,2 128952 32778 /lib/ld-2.7.so rpc.rquot 2087 root mem REG 8,2 32952 33195 /lib/libwrap.so.0.7.6 rpc.rquot 2087 root mem REG 8,2 1692524 32874 /lib/libc-2.7.so rpc.rquot 2087 root mem REG 8,2 109580 33224 /lib/libnsl-2.7.so rpc.rquot 2087 root mem REG 8,2 52620 33196 /lib/libnss_files-2.7.so rpc.rquot 2087 root mem REG 8,2 79319968 1934239 /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive rpc.rquot 2087 root 0u CHR 1,3 198 /dev/null rpc.rquot 2087 root 1u CHR 1,3 198 /dev/null rpc.rquot 2087 root 2u CHR 1,3 198 /dev/null rpc.rquot 2087 root 3u IPv4 5127 UDP *:telnets rpc.rquot 2087 root 4u IPv4 5133 TCP *:pop3s (LISTEN) # service dovecot start Starting Dovecot Imap: Fatal: listen(995) failed: Address already in use [FAILED] Expected results: rpc.rquotad should be using its own default port RQUOTAD_PORT=875, not 995(pop3s) port Additional info: This behavior was seen with unmodified /etc/sysconfig/nfs file. The system is running fully updated Fedora 8 i686, but interestingly enough the quota package release is "1.fc7" even though it comes from Fedora 8 depository.
Thanks for report and suggestion, but it is duplicate of #223937 . I'm quota maintainer for about 1 month, so I'm trying to get it into shape, but it will take some time. Closing that one as DUPLICATE. About 1.fc7 - that was because quota package was not rebuilt between F7 and F8 release. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 223937 ***
