I tried recompiling it, that didn't help. I just discovered that if I start it
manually it's ok, however, it won't start from the init script. Very odd. I cannot,
however, start it manually with the same options as init uses, namely, -d 10 -t 600.
-d 10 means daemon with a max of 10 child processes, and -t 600 means a time out of
600 seconds. If I start it with -d it exits cleanly without saying anything. I assume
that -d is calling the same execvp thing, or something similar, however strace doesn't
show that. I do however see this:
open("/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = 1
fstat(1, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2265, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0x40015000
read(1, "# Locale name alias data base.\n#"..., 4096) = 2265
read(1, "", 4096) = 0
close(1) = 0
munmap(0x40015000, 4096) = 0
open("/usr/share/i18n/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
write(2, "Couldn\'t bind to socket: Address"..., 48) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
_exit(1)
I've no idea what it can't bind too, ps says there's nothing running that's listening
to that port. netstat doesn't show anything either. I tried taking the -d switch out
of the init script but it still fails with the execvp error.
