From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: I use a script called 'winauth.sh' to authenticate to an NT domain with wbinfo and winbindd. However, every call to winauth.sh leaves a winauth.sh zombie! The parent is one of apache's httpd processes. I removed mod_auth_any and compiled from source, and that doesn't leave any zombies. The apache version is apache-1.3.27-2. I'd bet that _any_ script used with mod_auth_any will trigger this bug, but here's mine: <script> #!/bin/bash # Prog to authenticate using Samba winbindd, for use with mod_auth_any USER=$1 shift # for passwords with spaces... PASS="$*" /usr/bin/wbinfo -a "${USER}%${PASS}" > /dev/null RETVAL=$? if [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] then echo $USER fi exit $RETVAL </script> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mod_auth_any-1.2.2-2 How reproducible: Always Additional info: Note that I've set severity to high, since running the stock mod_auth_any will hose the box up good with gobs of zombies (which is what initially happened to me). My box is working fine for now, but a real fix from redhat would be appreciated.
