I'm not sure there is an easy fix other than more careful design on version 6. I'm afraid I don't have a lot of time for vpopmail right now, but if someone can come up with a patch, I'll gladly add it and put out a new release. (Patches against .25, .26 or CVS only, please.)

Re: [vchkpw] authdaemond Memory Leak?
There was a memory problem in an old version of vpopmail library. It was related to usage of vlimits in MySQL. Check within mailing list for such information. You have to ugrade/fix, then recompile vpomail and courier-authdaemon.

Re: [vchkpw] authdaemond Memory Leak?
Same issue on Gentoo with vpopmail-5.4.16. I searched a few months ago and have been scanning the mail lists since then with no mention of a bug fix specific to this. For now I just monitor and use # /etc/init.d/courier-authlib restart every so often. My mail server is not so busy so I can afford to do this. A cron job to restart would be easy to implement.

The system has ran fine except for two instances of memory usage (leak?). This system is setup on a Gentoo server according to the guide located at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml courier-imap is configured with the following authentication: authmodulelist=authvchkpw (located in /etc/courier/authlib/authdaemonrc) On both occasions the process list shows something similar to the following top - 07:19:19 up 67 days, 5:59, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.10, 0.08 Tasks: 111 total, 1 running, 110 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 1.8% us, 0.7% sy, 0.0% ni, 97.2% id, 0.3% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 1034092k total, 1007388k used,26704k free,11688k buffers Swap: 1001464k total, 999832k used, 1632k free, 127600k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ COMMAND 5279 root 15 0 353m 140m 408 S0 13.9 0:47.04 authdaemond 5276 root 15 0 353m 139m 68 S0 13.8 0:45.59 authdaemond 5278 root 15 0 349m 135m 408 S0 13.4 0:45.86 authdaemond 5277 root 15 0 349m 135m 20 S0 13.4 0:46.17 authdaemond 5275 root 15 0 356m 132m 20 S0 13.2 0:46.32 authdaemond As seen above my main memory and swap was in bad shape with authdaemond processes consuming the bulk of the memory. Review of the logs does not show any errors against authdaemond or authvchkpw. Memory usage appears to shoot up rapidly as this problem will manifest itself in less than a days time (it is not a gradual increase in memory usage). Any guidance on determining and/or fixing the root cause of the authdaemond memory issue would be welcome. The courier-imap mailing list directed me here stating that the authvchkpw module is the likely culprit. I would recommend upgrading your vpopmail to at least 5.4.18 (though there shouldn't be much reason not to upgrade to 5.4.20). I had quite a few problems with .16 myself. Once you've upgraded your vpopmail, remember to rebuild courier-authlib, and netqmail, and anything else that links against libvpopmail.a. Hope that helps, Tren

Re: [vchkpw] authdaemond and MySQL server has gone away
You might want to make sure that MySQL is started before authdaemond. Edit /usr/local/etc/rc.d/courier-authdaemond.sh and add this line: REQUIRE: LOGIN mysql-server To understand REQUIRE a little better, cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d and grep for REQUIRE in the startup files. It's purpose should become obvious. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ configtuning-rcng.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ configtuning-starting-services.html Matt On Jun 22, 2005, at 8:34 PM, Billy Newsom wrote: I have been having a strange issue with authdaemond ever since it split into a seperate auth port. I am running FreeBSD 5.4, net- qmail, vpopmail, Courier-IMAP, and using a mysql backend to vpopmail. The only authentication package I use or need is the vchkpw. Most or all of these are pretty late versions of these programs. Well, what seems to be the problem is during a server *reboot* 1. authdaemond boots up, using an rc.d script (FreeBSD's autoexec files) 2. I think this is before mysql is loaded. 3. auth requests come in to the IMAP server almost immediately. 4. ALL AUTHs FAIL until I do the following. When I get to the root shell a few hours later, I can get AUTHs working by restarting the daemons (I frantically restart imap, authdaemond, and mysql). But, by the way, the authdaemond script is broken, and I have to stop and start it (typing /usr/local/etc/ rc.d/courier-authdaemond.sh restart only stops the daemon). At this stage, all AUTHs now work! Yeah! But what is going on? During the AUTH failures, nobody can login, and everyone has to retype their mail passwords (Mozilla, for example, resets the IMAP password) Here is what mysql logs said. Notice, it appears that mysql started *AFTER* the first AUTH attempt. 050601 02:28:45 mysqld started 050601 2:28:49 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 43740 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections.

Re: [vchkpw] authdaemond memory leak?

I ran with it for about 12 hours of normal use. It looks to me that the program itself is collecting a lot of information, putting it in memory legitimately, and it simply uses gobs of it. Not a memory leak per se, but a programming mistake.

Anyway, does anyone know of a memory leak detector that could find such a problem? As far as I know, a previous version of authdaemon had no such issue, but I upgraded around May 21, 2005 using the latest in the FreeBSD ports tree. I only see one change since that date, but that was specific to FreeBSD and the startup script (rc.d). (That may be good, because there was a bug in the restart of the one I got in May). So it seems like I have the 0.56 of the auth package, and I believe that is current. Thanks for your help, Billy

That's about one every 12 seconds or so. Not a heavy use. In fact, I may have one bad auth per day, so all of those are successful. But I have noticed that the daemons are slowly increasing their memory usage without bounds. They are starting to cause the server to use swapfile space.

Ouch. And that is 270MB resident.) Now, the reason I am only running two daemons should be obvious!! I saw how much memory each one used, and I looked for ways to reduce it. So I only run two now. Anyway, does anyone know of a memory leak detector that could find such a problem? As far as I know, a previous version of authdaemon had no such issue, but I upgraded around May 21, 2005 using the latest in the FreeBSD ports tree. I only see one change since that date, but that was specific to FreeBSD and the startup script (rc.d). (That may be good, because there was a bug in the restart of the one I got in May). So it seems like I have the 0.56 of the auth package, and I believe that is current. Thanks for your help, Billy Look and see if you have the time to check with valgrind if you can find the error. It is in the ports tree, and looks for memory leakage by programs. Hope you find what the problem is. Note: I am not using authdaemond myself.

Running qmail 1.03, vpopmail5.21, with a very small group of users (ten), three virtual domains. When a user changes password in QmailAdmin, I find that I need to restart authdaemond, before user can log in at Sqwebmail front page. How should I troubleshoot this? All is running as advertised, except for this small problem. Tell me if I need to include any scripts. Thanks
Re: [vchkpw] authdaemond
Hi Ajai, Its been awhile since I setup qmail+vpopmail+courier but I recently had to do this on a new server. IIRC, you could disable authdaemond and just use vchkpw with courier. How do I specify this? Please read my personal installation instructions: http://jonaspasche.de/courier-imap-daemontools.txt It covers everything you need to run Courier-IMAP with vpopmail. Jonas

RE: [vchkpw] authdaemond
Alternativley, do a ./configure --help. If I remember.. it's just --disable-authdaemon and --enable-vchkpw, but I'm not positive on that so check the install docs and try a ./configure --help for all the switches. -Clayton -Original Message- From: Jesse Guardiani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 8:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vchkpw] authdaemond On Friday 07 February 2003 11:18, Ajai Khattri wrote: Its been awhile since I setup qmail+vpopmail+courier but I recently had to do this on a new server.

Re: [vchkpw] Authdaemond--mysql?
Not much of a help, just info: I have also had the authdaemon problem on two different systems, both FreeBSD. In both cases I ended up recompiling sqwebmail without the authdaemon option, which resolved the problem on both. I have read info about several qmail toasters, and in their examples the authdaemon option is always disabled. I guess it is the experience they have had...

Same difference though. Just compile sqwebmail without authdaemon, and with authvchkpw.
