Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Julien Valroff (valroff) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: dspam exits with 0 when not able to bind to configured port Initial Comment: Hi, When starting dspam in daemon mode as an unprivileged user with the default port 24, dspam cannot bind to the port, and fails to start, which is normal. However, the return code is 0, making it not possible to detect dspam hasn't started. Here is an example (here, dspam is a non privileged user). ds...@sid:/# su dspam ds...@sid:/$ dspam --daemon ds...@sid:/$ echo $? 0 ds...@sid:/$ exit sid:/# ps aux | grep [d]spam sid:/# tail /var/log/syslog Feb 7 16:34:58 sid dspam[1817]: Daemon process starting Feb 7 16:34:58 sid dspam[1817]: Could not bind to :24: Permission denied Feb 7 16:34:58 sid dspam[1817]: Daemon mode failed to start Feb 7 16:34:58 sid dspam[1817]: Daemon process exiting Cheers, Julien ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1126467&aid=2947397&group_id=250683 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Dspam-devel mailing list Dspam-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspam-devel
