Thanks for the pointer, I'll check the binaries. But even if that is, indeed, 
the case, is not this a security bug, at least? That a non-privileged use is 
able to reset the system at will like this?

(databases/sybase_ase)

Hello!

I installed the databases/sybase_ase port on the FreeBSD/amd64 system
running 6.1-STABLE.

this article:

Something may not be getting accomplished by the port.

It does not try to make a kernel dump (dumpdev configured), it does not log
anything in the last second (log messages sent to another system). Just a
very quick system reset... And I saw it happen 4 times already -- in the same
place.

The Sybase binaries are 32-bit Linux, but they run as a non-privileged user
``sybase'' (created by the port).


This sounds like the /famous/ "this software isn't branded correctly"  
bug. Please check that every binary executable, specially every static  
one, is branded with brandelf to "Linux".


Bye,
Alexander.

System reset trying to configure Sybase server (databases/sybase_ase)

2006-06-08 Thread Mikhail Teterin
Hello!

I installed the databases/sybase_ase port on the FreeBSD/amd64 system running 
6.1-STABLE.

The install went fine, and trying to run the 
su sybase
cd ${PREFIX}/sybase-ase
install/sybinit

progresses fine for some time, until the system resets :-( The last messages 
out of it are:

[...]
Running task: boot the Sybase Server. 
Task succeeded: boot the Sybase Server. 
Running task: create the sybsystemprocs database. 
sybsystemprocs database created. 
Task succeeded: create the sybsystemprocs database. 
Running task: install system stored procedures. 
.

It does not try to make a kernel dump (dumpdev configured), it does not log 
anything in the last second (log messages sent to another system). Just a 
very quick system reset... And I saw it happen 4 times already -- in the same 
place.

The Sybase binaries are 32-bit Linux, but they run as a non-privileged user 
``sybase'' (created by the port).

How could it possibly be doing such damage? Thanks!
