Hi list,
I believe there is a bug in the daemonize code of ipmievd. While trying
to run ipmievd on one of our Solaris 9 servers, I found that the daemon
is running, but that it's not logging to syslog. I start the daemon with:
ipmievd -H <hostname> -I lan -U <username> -P <password> sel daemon
After a couple of hours debugging, I found why it's not logging. In
lib/helper.c, line 401, I found:
for (fd=0; fd<64; fd++)
close(fd);
I am not a programmer, but this looks a bit odd to me. 64 file
descriptors are being closed, including the one of the socket which is
needed to write to syslog.
Deleting the lines above gives me a working daemon, so I am all happy,
but I would like to know why these file descriptors are being closed.
I've a little feature request as well: it would be nice to see the
hostname of the polled device in the log. When running multiple daemons
which all log to LOG_LOCAL4, it's hard to see which device has problems.
