Comments/Problems: System hung during package installs for Desktop Environment, 
SSH services
and basic system package sets.  System hang was reproducible at same spot.
Watched VT screen of F4 and there was no kernel dump or error.
The system became unresponsive.  Pressing numlock or caps lock
had no effect on LED for same.  One first attempt, used apt repo at Dal.ca.  On 
second
attempt used apt repo at uwaterloo.ca Computer Science club.  No difference.

Sorry I don't have the final line of the package that was being downloaded
at the time the system stopped responding.  I can tell you it did download
perhaps 100 to 300 packages before it seized.  It gave no error.  It behaved
as if it was taking a long time to download or whatever, except
that when I checked after 30 minutes or so of no progress, I saw the keyboard
wasn't responding with the standard numlock/capslock LED test of system health.
Control-Alt F1, etc. were also attempted to see what another VT might show.
Finally, a Stop-A was done, which should cause the PROM to pop us out to a ok 
prompt, and it did nothing.

This failure was observed twice, once with the progress bar view,
and once with the details view from F4 virtual terminal.

System seemed healthy prior to install attempt - it had been running Solaris 10 
with ZFS
mirrored RAID on same disks for a few years and no hardware problems.

Bug#606350: [Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#606350: sasl2-bin: Too many open files error with PAM - recovery with saslauthd restart

2011-01-17 Thread D G Teed
I installed these packages from sid this morning, onto
an otherwise squeeze based system:

samba-common2:3.5.6~dfsg-4
samba-common-bin2:3.5.6~dfsg-4
libwbclient02:3.5.6~dfsg-4
winbind 2:3.5.6~dfsg-4

I can see the pam library file is updated:

ls -l /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60168 Jan 15 16:04 /lib/security/pam_winbind.so

winbind and saslauthd are restarted.

Six hours later I check and the number of fd files
and links is static at 8 files under each /proc/pid/fd
where pid is a process id from saslauthd

Based on prior experiences with the bug (leak growth appears
within a few  minutes), this bug is fixed in these package releases.

 Eh, that's really strange, but thanks for the detailed investigation.

 Could you check whether you still experience the bug with the
 3.5.6~dfsg-3 packages? I suppose this is indeed what you're doing
 right now...


I'm afraid the bug reappears with these packages:

samba-common2:3.5.6~dfsg-3
samba-common-bin2:3.5.6~dfsg-3~test1
libwbclient02:3.5.6~dfsg-3
winbind 2:3.5.6~dfsg-3

I am seeing a growth in fd links.  Also the pipes left open
are visible from running: netstat -e | grep winbind
It reports dozens of lines like:

unix  3  [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 72840600
/var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged/pipe
unix  3  [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 72819898
/var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged/pipe
unix  3  [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 72811786
/var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged/pipe
unix  3  [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 72799966
/var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged/pipe
unix  3  [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 72765262
/var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged/pipe

When I used all packages ending with ~test1 , I never catch any
dangling pipes like this from netstat report.

I'm up to 71 open fd links to sockets from 5 saslauthd processes
since this morning (relatively slow as students and faculty are not back
yet).

 Did you have any chance to test the amd64 packages I poointed you to?

 This fix is a good candidate for squeeze but I would like to have
 success reports before requesting a freeze exception to the release team.


I've tested the test packages:

libwbclient0
samba-common
samba-common-bin
smbclient
winbind

They have worked well with saslauthd and there is no longer growth in the
file descriptors after a couple of days running.

 you'll soon find

 They're currently being uploaded and should be ready to download in

 If they fix this file descriptors leak problem, please report.

I did a test today...  I noticed the number of fds had grown overnight by
20 to 40 per process.   I did a restart of winbind and looked at the fds
under
the saslauthd processes.  It didn't change.

Both winbind and saslauthd must be restarted as the workaround.
Restarting winbind closes only the streams reported as
/var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged/pipe .

Developers would likely expect this, but I mention it here in case it might
help others caught by the issue.

 Try doing a 'netstat -e' and see if you can match some of those sockets up
 with a connection, and see if you can determine what it's being used for,
 and what connection state it's in.

 I'm hoping you can tie the down to a particular type of connection, say,
 your pam_winbind attempts. If that's the case, then the problem might be
 due to a bug in that specific pam module, or could be due to a bug in the
 way saslauthd uses pam.


OK...

I've checked one process and here is what the matches look like:

/proc/15951/fd# for socket in `ls -l | cut -d' ' -f12 | sed 's/socket:\[// ;

 Looks like a file descriptor leak in pam_winbind.  I think saslauthd isn't

Is there a way the bug report can shuffle along to becoming a winbind

This might be the same as the samba bug reported upstream against Debian 5:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7265%20https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7265

That is showing a bug against samba 3.4, however it is
status NEW, from March this year.  A patch is mentioned.
I don't see why there would be a delay to release it.

This bug would effect apache, cyrus email, and many SMTP
services using authentication, so I'd think it should be a priority to fix.

Bug#394821: Proprietary driver from Matrox resolved the problem

2006-10-26 Thread D G Teed


A user at DebianHelp.org suggested I try the Matrox driver from
Matrox.  Earlier I did a compile from Debian sources at sarge1
release level and it did not resolve the problem.  I worked
in vesa mode for a couple of days before installing the Matrox
proprietary driver, which resolves the issue for me.  However
I believe mga driver was working without this driver from
Matrox prior to the update.

See this thread for some potential leads on what nm tracing revealed:

Bug#394821: mga_drv unresolved symbols after 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2 upgrade

2006-10-23 Thread D G Teed

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2

I have a G400 that was working fine in the most previous
release (sarge1?) of xfree86 group of packages in Debian 3.1 stable.

On the first reboot following the upgrade to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2
of the series of related xfree86 packages, X refuses to
run, with errors like so:

...and a few more lines like these before Fatal server error.

Everything was fine with the same XF86Config file
previously.  If I switch to vesa, X starts OK.
However I need dual monitors so mga is a must.

It appears that Debian's Xfree86 sources are unique,
so compiling a solution as per http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building
doesn't seem to be an option within Debian stable.

I tried downgrading to sarge1, but it has not helped:

for pack in `COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l | grep x | grep 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2 | awk 
'{print $2}'`; do apt-get -y install --reinstall $pack=4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1; 
done



Any more information needed, please ask me...
