Thanks. We fixed it already. It's in the next official release of ettercap 0.7.4-Lazarus.
Plus I can't use -G it's against my religion ;) Best Regards, Eric -----Original Message----- From: boun...@canonical.com [mailto:boun...@canonical.com] On Behalf Of LocutusOfBorg Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 11:27 AM To: Eric Milam Subject: [Bug 817101] Re: ettercap produces Error 11 and runs out of resources to use it please do tar xzvf drizztbsd-ettercap-edb16cc.tar.gz cd drizztbsd-ettercap- edb16cc/ sudo ./src/ettercap -G if you want to use your /etc/etter.conf just copy it into drizztbsd- ettercap-edb16cc/share -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817101 Title: ettercap produces Error 11 and runs out of resources Status in “ettercap” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: OS: Ubuntu 10.04 2GB RAM 2 Processors (Is patched with the latest updated from the repos) Issue: I was poisoning 22 victims, ettercap lasted roughly 10 minutes before it closed with the following message: ERROR : 11, Resource temporarily unavailable [ec_threads.c:ec_thread_new:203] not enough resources to create a new thread in this process I found this in my research, apparently its from the Ettercap forums/bug list from 2004: "It's a known issue because pthread_exit seems to not free correctly threads' memory. We are investigating this problem." My etter.conf has the ec_uid & gid set to 0 and the proper iptables redirs uncommented. I have experienced this issue with ettercap installs from both the Ubuntu repos & compiling from source. ulimit is set to unlimited: root@blank:~# ulimit -Ha core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 20 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 16382 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) unlimited cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) unlimited virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited As a workaround I set my max threads to 123,456,789 up from 39K. It still ran out of resources after about 15 minutes. I am not a developer, but in reading up on pthreads, it looks like you have to specify "joinable" if you use pthread_join and the code does not appear to do this. However, I know nothing about pthreads and am still learning the basics of C.
