Hello all, I have Cyrus IMAPd 2.2.12 (patched with Christos Soulios' auto* patches) on a Solaris 9 box; gcc 3.4.2. It is compiled thusly (the CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS are three long lines -- really!):
export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/opt/sfw/gcc-3/include" export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/opt/sfw/gcc-3/include" export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/usr/local/lib/sasl2 -R/opt/sfw/gcc-3/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib -lsocket -lnsl" ./configure --enable-nntp --enable-listext --enable-netscapehack \ --disable-gssapi --with-cyrus-user=cyrus --with-cyrus-group=smmsp \ --with-auth=pts --with-bdb=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3 \ --with-bdb-libdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib \ --with-bdb-incdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/include \ --with-ldap=/usr/local --with-pts=ldap --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \ --with-sasl=/usr/local/lib --with-perl=/usr/local/bin/perl Several times in the past there have been problems with an "unknown host" error from cyradm on Solaris 9. The only "solution" that I have seen that works is to remove the ai_flags member of the hints structure at about line 239 of lib/imclient.c in the imclient_connect function. On Solaris 9, the AI_CANONNAME is defined in /usr/include/netdb.h as 0x0010 (or 16 to save you the conversion), while on linux, it is 2. The error that getaddrinfo returned was 3, or a bad ai_flags value. I then tried setting the ai_flags to 2, rather than AI_CANONNAME, and cyradm worked! On this machine I also have ISC Bind9 installed. It has its own netdb.h and getaddrinfo function. ClamAV also has a private getaddrinfo in libclamav.so. Others, like OpenLDAP have it as a global. It seems that Cyrus IMAPd is grabbing Sun's header file (/usr/include/netdb.h), but when the call is made, it is using one of the other function calls which are conveniently available and possibly first in the search path. None of the other software on the system (OpenLDAP, OpenSSL, Cyrus SASL, etc) is linked against libbind.a except for Sendmail 8.13.4. One other thing. Other programs that use getaddrinfo (most notably, imtest) work as expected. I therefore suspect some glitch in perl (5.8.5), which I compiled myself, but it is not linked against any of the programs with their own getaddrinfo (I know this since it was the third thing I compiled on this machine and before Bind9 and ClamAV) and perl does not have such a private function (that I can find). How can I find out which of these extraneous getaddrinfo calls imclient.c is using? I can not run cyradm in a debugger since it is a shell script (which then calls perl, which does who knows what!). Can someone more knowledgable than I suggest a small program that links against imclient and calls imclient_connect that I can run in the gnu debugger? Is there a simpler way? Thank You, Mike. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
