Hard to say. There's no evidence in the cited log. I think you may want to increase verbosity of the logs... Hm, and next time don't just kill the running instance but check what it's actually doing using strace and ltrace (or even a debugger, but this won't help much if debug symbols are stripped...). You've compiled in a lot of auth mechs, so it may well be due to a related library (hence I suggested ltrace, too). -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
