Package: pidentd Version: 3.0.18-1 Severity: important Hi,
the new version 3.0.18-1 has some problems when ran on machines having enough network traffic. First symptom that caused me to start looking was that sometimes java processes don't get authenticated correctly (very annoying when used with tomcat4 and ident authentication of postgresql). One way to reproduce the problem: -Run an irc server. -Put a torture script running: $ while [[ 1 ]]; do nc -z -v localhost 6667; done -Wait a while (15-30 seconds). -Try eg. indent-authenticate to postgresql server. Expected result (and behaviour of 3.0.16-7 in the same test): -Some system load -Running 7 identd processes -Some (one or two) zombies can be seen when repeatingly run 'ps -fA | grep ident'. -ident authentication works for other processes. Actual result: -Heavy system load. Some identd processes are running and eating all available cpu even after 5 minutes of actual port-hammering. -More than 100 identd -processes. -And the most important: authentication stops working. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-SMP Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages pidentd depends on: ii adduser 3.59 Add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-2 SSL shared libraries ii netbase 4.19 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii passwd 1:4.0.3-30.7 Change and administer password and -- no debconf information -- Toni Timonen "toni dot timonen at iki dot fi" NP Solutions Ltd Helsinki University of Technology Department of Engineering Physics and Mathematics
