Summary: spamd frequently can't bind to port 783
Product: Fedora Core
Version: fc6
Platform: i386
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: normal
Component: spamassassin
AssignedTo: wtogami(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: chris(a)chris-keane.co.uk
CC: fedora-perl-devel-
list@redhat.com,felicity@kluge.net,jm(a)jmason.org,parkerm
@pobox.com,reg+redhat@sidney.com,wtogami(a)redhat.com
The default startup priority for nfslock is 14, and for spamassassin is 78.
This means that rpc.statd is started up before spamd.
I'm regularly finding that rpc.statd decides to bind to port 783, which then
means spamd is unable to bind to that port and exits with "spamd: could not
create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Address already in use". This in turn
means I get swamped with spam!
I'm not sure whether this is primarily an issue with rpc.statd or with
spamassassin, but it'd be good to be able to persuade rpc.statd not to steal
that port before spamd gets a chance to bind to it.
Is this occurring because spamd doesn't have an entry in /etc/services, or would
that make no difference?
Changing the startup priorities so that spamd starts up before rpc.statd would
be a workaround, but it's a hack. There must be a better solution.
Using spamassassin-3.1.7-1.fc6 and nfs-utils-1.0.10-4.fc6.
Thanks.
