I've confirmed that 2.4.18-27.7 fails where 2.4.18-26.7 does not. The ACE apache module includes an RPC server that's supposed to run in the background. The RPC server now always thinks there's already a copy of the daemon running and exits:
[0:localhost] [/home/ben] > ./aceapi_rpc_server Process 731 already running -731 [0:localhost] [/home/ben] > ps -ef|grep ace root 737 687 0 04:36 pts/0 00:00:00 grep ace [0:localhost] [/home/ben] > uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.18-27.7.x #1 Fri Mar 14 06:58:54 EST 2003 i686 unknown Rebooting the system to the old kernel, it works fine: [0:localhost] [/home/ben] > ./aceapi_rpc_server 752 [0:localhost] [/home/ben] > start child 753 Error can't connect to ACE/Server [0:localhost] [/home/ben] > ps -ef|grep ace nobody 752 1 0 04:39 pts/0 00:00:00 ./aceapi_rpc_server nobody 753 752 0 04:39 pts/0 00:00:00 ./aceapi_rpc_server root 757 675 0 04:39 pts/0 00:00:00 grep ace [0:localhost] [/home/ben] > uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.18-26.7.x #1 Mon Feb 24 10:15:02 EST 2003 i686 unknown The ACE module is at ftp://ftp.rsasecurity.com/pub/agents/WebAgent.tar You can just extract the aceapi_rpc_server from the dist and test the binary by hand - you don't need to go through a full install. I'll see if I can trace down what in the source may have caused this, but in the meantime I can't patch my system against a security hole until this is fixed :-\ Thanks, -=| Ben -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
