Hi,Sometimes my users cannot log into their mailboxes. A test telnet authorizations hangs after LOGIN command and gets an abort connection in a while. strace user's imapd process shows that something wrong with the FAM server: PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 17896 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/courier-imapd Mail 18121 ? S 47:30 /usr/libexec/gam_server
Agreed, something is wrong with the FAM server. Even under fairly heavy use, I'd expect it to rack up 47 minutes of CPU time only after months of uptime.
And it seems that the server process gets started by the client, and goes away when the client disconnects, so this would be some serious uptime.
Is this bug fixed? or it is not related to courier-imap? Maybe someone knows any workarounds or how can I check that the gam_server process is still working?
It's an issue with the gamin server. First time this has been mentioned, usually these problems came up, years ago, with the original FAM package, that gamin replaces.
Courier uses the FAM library, which handles server communications, and which creates and manages this socket, that is not accessible to Courier or any other client app.
The only option is to recompile Courier --without-fam
