Bug#380079: socket related problem in AMD64?

2006-07-27 Thread Adrian von Bidder
Yo!

See #380079 for reference

Christian Schletig reported the postgrey package not working on AMD64.  
Looking at the log message:

 Jul 27 11:18:26 mail kernel: postgrey[6026] general protection rip:2a9687fd2c 
 rsp:7fb640 error:0

According to Christian the message occurs at the moment when postfix 
connects on the socket.

I suspect it's not postgrey's problem (especially since postgrey is a perl 
script and should thus be platform independent.  The protocol on the socket 
is text, so no word size/endianness issue on that front either.)  
Net::Server, perl or kernel?

thanks for looking into it, if you have time.

Please reassign to the correct place if you find I am correct.  Or, of 
course, flame me if postgrey is at fault.

This is usualy cause by the cpu bug which only 2.6.15 or newer kernels
handle correctly. You can find a newer kernel for sarge on
backports.org or upgrade to etch/sid.

If that solves the problem then please mail a sentence to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to close the bug.

according to this being a productive system it'll take some time until i 
have another maintenance windows

and can test update to the above named kernel.
After that I'll immediatly report.

If that solves the problem then please mail a sentence to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to close the bug.

I've been trying this, and get:
Jul 27 19:57:38 intrepid postgrey[5727]: 2006/07/27-19:57:38 postgrey (type 
Net::Server::Multiplex) starting! pid(5727)
Jul 27 19:57:38 intrepid postgrey[5727]: Binding to TCP port 6 on host 
127.0.0.1
Jul 27 19:57:38 intrepid postgrey[5727]: Setting gid to 65534 65534
Jul 27 19:57:38 intrepid postgrey[5727]: Setting uid to 108

I've tried conneting to the smptd, and things got rejected as
expected.  So this seems all to work to me.

Anyway, if their is a problem, I can't reproduce this.


Kurt
