I just went from 2.1-someversion down to 2.0-recentsnapshot and I
started noticing that the zombie problem had went away, but there was a
new problem that causes the parent process to die without any trace.
Running on FBSD-5.4-RELEASE/AMD64
I noticed this when lmtp suddenly stopped accepting connections, pid
file was missing and then I noticed that imapd also was missing it's pid
file. The children were still available so I could read mail but the
parent had gone.
Should I go back to 2.1 now (the zombies are a small problem compared to
problem that I would have to restart all instances every 30 mins or so...)
btw can I hook the 2.0 series to inetd? Should work as an quick fix for
my problem.
