[opensuse] Dictd dies with segfault
Hi all, When trying to start the dictd as root it dies with a segfault: [prompt]/etc/init.d: ./dictd start Starting DICTDdictd (_log_check_filename): Cannot open "/var/log/dictd" for append startproc: signal catched /usr/sbin/dictd: Segmentation fault failed I've fetched the source, recompiled with debug info enabled: gdb /usr/sbin/dictd ...

Hi all,
When trying to start the dictd as root it dies with a segfault:
yes , unfortunately the package is broken :( to avoid the crash you need to create a writable log file called /var/log/dictd Unfortunately the deamnon later fails to start because it wants confi files in /usr/etc.. :( also, it should not segfault when opening the file.. -- "If eval() is the answer, you're almost certainly asking the wrong question." --Rasmus Lerdorf Cristian Rodríguez R, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development http://www.opensuse.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

to avoid the crash you need to create a writable log file called /var/log/dictd Well, it seems it's not enough, that it is writable for root only. It needs 666 access rights, even when I start the init script as root. I guess it is started with uid=daemon or something like that, right ?
Unfortunately the deamnon later fails to start because it wants config files in /usr/etc.. :(
also, it should not segfault when opening the file.. ... that's perfectly true ;).
BTW, there is already a dictd package 1.10.10 on sourceforge. Don't know if it is supposed to fix this problem. Rgds, Stephan. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
