Re: glibc problem.

{res,re,e}[ug]id functions? The developer has code to work around broken threads in glibc and asked me to compile with a commandline that treats bypasses the workaround. This fails with: !seteuid FAILED Operation not permitted Would that mean that threads are still broken or is it the code that is not handling the threads properly? (Would you require a code snippet for this as well?) And I still get: Got signal (24964608) Signal has no handler (unexpected) The number within the brackets changes upon each run, but is constant during each run. He asked my to post this code snippet that is the signal handling thread to see if you could catch why unexpected signals are happening: (Please excuse any poor formatting due to cut and paste operations. <g>) As always, the code is available at cvs.synchro.net static void handle_sigs(void) { int sig; sigset_t sigs; char str[1024]; thread_up(NULL,TRUE,TRUE); if (is_daemon) { /* Write the standard .pid file if running as a daemon */ /* Must be here so signals are sent to the correct thread */ if(pidf!=NULL) { fprintf(pidf,"%d",getpid()); fclose(pidf); } } /* Set up blocked signals */ sigemptyset(&sigs); sigaddset(&sigs,SIGINT); sigaddset(&sigs,SIGQUIT); sigaddset(&sigs,SIGABRT); sigaddset(&sigs,SIGTERM); sigaddset(&sigs,SIGHUP); sigaddset(&sigs,SIGALRM); /* sigaddset(&sigs,SIGPIPE); */ pthread_sigmask(SIG_BLOCK,&sigs,NULL); while(1) { sigwait(&sigs,&sig); /* wait here until signaled */ sprintf(str," Got signal (%d)",sig); log_puts(LOG_NOTICE,str); switch(sig) { /* QUIT-type signals */ case SIGINT: case SIGQUIT: case SIGABRT: case SIGTERM: _sighandler_quit(sig); break; case SIGHUP: /* rerun */ _sighandler_rerun(sig); default: sprintf(str," Signal has no handler (unexpected)"); log_puts (LOG_NOTICE,str); } } } This is the signal handling thread... it's the bit that's tossing of the errors you're getting (post those too). Thanks for your time Jakub, I imagine that you are busy :) Rob.
