Here's a challenge for you:
I can no longer run a mail server (=(exim|postfix|sendmail)). Exim and
sendmail both segfault on startup, and postfix just doesn't start (due to
the maze of startup scripts for postfix, I didn't get very far debugging
it).
Exim will receive requests via inetd, but will not run standalone, its
queue-runner children segfault with signall 11. Sendmail just segfaults.
I have been unable to track this down. I am not familiar enough with strace
output to debug it. No-one on any OS IRC channel has been able to help. I
put it to you, dear sluggers.
Here is the catch: the only change between exim working happily and exim
suicidal is that, due to some persistent filesystem errors, I tarred my
entire filesystem (as files), reinstalled a base potato, and extracted
the old filesystem over it (ignoring /dev).
Does anyone know where to start with this? I can provide strace output, I'll
do whatever is necessary to avoid having to use Lotus Notes!
Adrian.
