Hi,
I read the thread about the cpu hog problem of the internal identd
problem and tried to reproduce it on my box. I did a truss on the inetd
process and got this :
select(0x8,0xbfbff46c,0x0,0x0,0xbfbfd45c) = 1 (0x1)
ioctl(7,FIONREAD,0xbfbfd444) = 0 (0x0)
read(0x7,0xbfbfd46c,0x0) = 0 (0x0)
gettimeofday(0xbfbfd45c,0x0) = 0 (0x0)
[...]
a lot of times.
It seems it's a very common problem. The return value of read() is not
checked against 0 (0 means that the other side disconnected) and so, it
loops until the connection times out.
I will look at inetd sources to fix this bug as soon as possible and I
think I will come shortly with a patch.
Regards,
Maxime Henrion
