Hello,
I just upgraded a few servers to FreeBSD 5.1, and one of them was
running courier-imap, configured with:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/courier --with-authmysql
--with-mysql-libs=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
--with-mysql-includes=/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql
--disable-root-check
(last one is cause I'm to lazy to su sometimes :))
The problem is as follows:
If you assign an IPv4 ADDRESS in either pop3d/imapd/pop3d-ssl/imapd-ssl
configfile, then couriertcpd won't start and gives the output:
bind: Can't assign requested address
ll_daemon_start: Resource temporarily unavailable
Normally, something is already running on this port :)
However, I'm 100% sure that ONLY sshd is running on port 22 (sockstat
-4 output:)
root sshd 487 4 tcp4 *:22 *:*
If you specify '0' as the ADDRESS (wildcard), couriertcpd will function
just fine, even in combination with IPv6 (via the PORT argument)
Even if you specify an IPv4-address via the PORT argument, it doesn't
work :( For example: PORT=127.0.0.1.143 gives the same error.
I noticed this if in tcpd/tcpd.c :
/* Create an IPv6 or an IPv4 socket */
#if RFC1035_IPV6
if (flags & MKS_USEAFINET4)
It correctly enters the if, BUT flags is 0 ...
I don't know WHY it is 0, but if I change the 0 into a 1 in the 'static int
mksockets() {'
(int fd=mksocket(p->ipaddr, p->servname, 1);)
then couriertcpd binds correctly to the ADDRESS I specified !
Is there anyone who can confirm this ? I hope this is a couriertcpd 'bug' (big word
:)) and not something I can do anything about :)
Greetings,
