Hello,

I'm having a problem with ipfail failing to start and I can't seem to
find a an answer through searching net/forums.

Syslog displays the first 2 messages several times before giving up with
the last message.

heartbeat: [32428]: info: Starting
"/usr/local/packages/heartbeat/lib/heartbeat/ipfail" as uid 17  gid 65
(pid 32428)
heartbeat: [31636]: WARN: Exiting
/usr/local/packages/heartbeat/lib/heartbeat/ipfail process 32428
returned rc 1.
heartbeat: [31636]: ERROR: Client
/usr/local/packages/heartbeat/lib/heartbeat/ipfail "respawning too fast"

If I run that command as hacluster I get:

ipfail[3508]: 2007/06/16_23:09:17 debug: PID=3508
ipfail[3508]: 2007/06/16_23:09:17 debug: Signing in with heartbeat
ipfail[3508]: 2007/06/16_23:09:17 ERROR: Cannot sign on with heartbeat
ipfail[3508]: 2007/06/16_23:09:17 ERROR: REASON: hb_api_signon: Can't
initiate connection  to heartbeat

Same error is listed for ccm & cibmon when I run BasicSanityCheck.

User and permissions

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# egrep '(17|65)'  /etc/{passwd,group}
/etc/passwd:nfsnobody:x:65534:65534:Anonymous NFS
User:/var/lib/nfs:/sbin/nologin
/etc/passwd:hacluster:x:17:65:High Availability
User:/home/hacluster:/bin/bash
/etc/group:nfsnobody:x:65534:
/etc/group:haclient:x:65:

I pretty sure this has been OK in the past (pre version 2.0.7 which is
the current version in use). The heartbeat package is installed from
source and is running on RHEL3.

Previous list posts suggest this is a permission problem. I've changed
the perms on /var/run/heartbeat, the binary for ipfail and even the fifo
in /var/lib/heartbeat, but I just feel I'm stabbing in the dark.

Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

Cheers,

Matt
