Issue #1684 has been updated by Mark Chappell.
Just in case anyone else ends up seeing this, it's actually an oddity in nss_ldap. Under certain conditions if the LDAP connection goes away it throws an ABORT crashing out the the calling program. This was due to the load balancing we had in the middle which was DROPPING the connection before either end had tried to close them, so no FIN signals. It wasn't happening in the foreground because extra LDAP lookups had been triggered too recently so the LDAP connection hadn't been dropped. Sorry, for not updating this sooner, I'd completely forgotten about it. ---------------------------------------- Bug #1684: puppetmasterd fails assertion when log directory doesn't already exist and client sends log https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1684 Author: Mark Chappell Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: agent Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.24.5 Keywords: Branch: Using puppetmasterd straight out of RH EPEL under CentOS 5.2 with the ruby-ldap module When I add a new machine to puppet, and attempt a first connection the client bombs out with puppetreports.report: #<EOFError: end of file reached> And the puppetmasterd bombs out silently on the server. Having run an strace on the puppetmasterd it appears to be receiving a SIGABORT (usually caused by a failed assertion) Just prior to this it attempts an lstat on "/var/puppet/reports/XXXXX.bath.ac.uk" (where XXXXXX.bath.ac.uk is the hostname of the machine I was adding at the time) If I manually create the directory (chowned to puppet:puppet) prior to running the client, then the master doesn't bomb out, the client succeeds and everything is happy. Subsequent updates all seem to work fine. While this may be the same bug as 506 it definately is NOT a load issue. There was negligible load on the master at the time. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
