Hi All,
I believe I found a strange bug in relayctl.
I'm running OpenBSD 4.5 (release) with quite a normal relay.conf (see
below).
[r...@openlb46-1] <~> # relayctl monitor
sync: imsg type 32 len 12 peerid 0 pid 16630
timestamp: 1249310943, Mon Aug 3 16:49:03 2009
host_status: imsg type 31 len 32 peerid 0 pid 16630
timestamp: 1249310943, Mon Aug 3 16:49:03 2009
id: 1
state: up
sync: imsg type 32 len 12 peerid 0 pid 16630
timestamp: 1249310948, Mon Aug 3 16:49:08 2009
host_status: imsg type 31 len 32 peerid 0 pid 16630
timestamp: 1249310948, Mon Aug 3 16:49:08 2009
id: 1
state: up
sync: imsg type 32 len 12 peerid 0 pid 16630
timestamp: 1249310953, Mon Aug 3 16:49:13 2009
host_status: imsg type 31 len 32 peerid 0 pid 16630
timestamp: 1249310953, Mon Aug 3 16:49:13 2009
id: 1
state: up
<hitting CTRL+c>
then, the same command again:
[r...@openlb46-1] <~> # relayctl monitor
<unknown>: imsg type 2 len 12 peerid 0 pid 12763
timestamp: 1249311051, Mon Aug 3 16:50:51 2009
[r...@openlb46-1] <~> #
it instantly quits. I guess that's not the way it should be, right?
Additionally relayctl continues to behave strange:
[r...@openlb46-1] <~> # relayctl host enable 2
relayctl: wrong message in summary: 17
id 2 is definetly correct:
[r...@openlb46-1] <~> # relayctl show hosts
Id Type Name Avlblty Status
1 table msn_whitelabel:80 active (1
hosts)
1 host 10.46.25.1 99.39% up
total: 86987/87520 checks
2 host 10.46.25.2 disabled
I can pkill and start relayd again and the enable disable commands will
work.
[r...@openlb46-1] <~> # pkill relayd
[r...@openlb46-1] <~> # relayd
[r...@openlb46-1] <~> # relayctl host enable 2
command succeeded
[r...@openlb46-1] <~> # relayctl host disable 2
command succeeded
[r...@openlb46-1] <~> #
I wouldn't dare to use "relayctl monitor" right now, because of the
mentioned issue.
We're going to go live with two OpenBSD 4.5 boxes as a router and http load
balancer pretty soon. Once again, awesome work on everything. carp, pfsync,
relayd, vlan, trunk. woohoo :)
However, if this relayctl monitor thing is a bug, what should I do? File a
pr?
I would be able to get the 4.5-release sources, update them via cvsup to
somewhere else and test patches. Just tell me how and when. Or better,
verify that it's not a problem at my installation.
Some more facts & figures:

# tag every packet that goes thru the rdr rule with RELAYD

}
hope that's enough.
Cheers and keep up the good work,
Marian
