Hello Sergey,

It appears as though the policy is corrupt. Have you tried deriving another policy and 
applying it to the sensor? I would also like to know what console you are using? (i.e. 
SiteProtector or WGM). Try the following. Stop the sensor and rename the 
current.policy. Now derive a new policy from the attack and audits and without 
modifying apply it to the sensor. Does the same error occur?

I have NS (SP 4.2:XPU 22.6) installed on Linux.
When I use standard ISS's policies, such as "Attacks and Audits", etc, all
is working properly. But when I try to use custom policy (see
DMZ_Default.zip) sensor stops with the following errors in syslog
(/var/log/messages):
....
Dec 30 12:24:34 RNE1 kernel: application bug: issDaemon(1558) has SIGCHLD
set to SIG_IGN but calls wait().
Dec 30 12:24:34 RNE1 kernel: (see the NOTES section of 'man 2 wait').
Workaround activated.

As programmer in the past I know that it isn't correct to perform wait()
system call when SIGCHILD set to SIG_IGN (ignored), but why standard ISS's
policy "Attacks and Audits" normally work without any "application bug"?
May be problem is in something else?
Also, here is dmesg output, may be it will be interesting...
(See attached file: dmesg.txt.gz)
Thanks a lot.
