FreeBSD tsitc.aipo.gov.au 4.5-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE-p6 #5: Sat Jun 8 08:23:08 EST 2002 root@tsitc.aipo.gov.au:/usr/src/sys/compile/TSITC i386
Base system ssh (OpenSSH_2.9 FreeBSD localisations 20020307, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090601f)
Netsaint built from source (0.0.7)
check_by_ssh from plugins 1.2.9-4.
Base system gcc (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) [FreeBSD])
>Description:
Symptoms are exactly as reported by Daniel Lang <dl@leo.org> (Thanks mate)
in PR/31352 ie
Sometime after Netsaint 0.0.7b[2-8] and 0.0.7 is started, Netsaint
logs a warning message from the check_by_ssh plugin that
[\d+] SERVICE ALERT: check_host;Standard host-centric checks;WARNING;SOFT;2;fcntl(0, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK): Inappropriate ioctl for device.
Some additional notes are :-
1 Problem only appeared after cvsup to 4.5-RELEASE-p4 and make installworld
(including mergemaster) following the handbooks description
ie make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
reboot
make installworld
I think that the problem is related to the shell that Netsaint starts in.
If Netsaint is started with
. login as root (su - )
. /Path/toNetsaint/bin -d /Path/to/Netsaint/etc/netsaint.cfg
. logout of root shell
then some time after logging out as root, the symptoms appear within
8 hours.
However, if Netsaint is started by
. login as root
. /Path/toNetsaint/bin/netsaint /Path/to?netsaint/ect/netsaint.cfg
. root sheell stays logged in
then there are no problems (for at least the 3-4 days I have done this
for).
Mr Langs remarks apply also: manual checks work fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
. start Netsaint as a daemon, log out of root shell, wait no more than
8 hours.
