Hi there,
some problem observed running Interactive 386/ix 2.0.1 un X11.3 1.0.0:
When I have started X (via the startx-script), sendmail disappears!
The process seems to die silently. I have 3.75 MB of memory in my machine.
After restarting it via:
/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q30m &
I get these error messages:
..date time... local sendmail[3533]:NOQUEUE:SYSERR:getrequests:cannot bind:\
ERROR 112
..date time... local sendmail[3533]:cannot get connection
Only a coldstart will help to get sendmail up and running again!!!
Anyone an idea, what's going on?
Joachim

I have 3.75 MB of memory in my machine. There is a memory-management problem in the 2.0.1 kernel, when some processes get swapped out they no longer appear in the process table or some such thing, I forget the exact details. And since you are trying to run X in such a small amount of memory sendmail is swapped out and "disappears", if you run quite a few X clients you will notice some of them disappearing as well. (What "disappear" means is that a ps listing will not show them.) This has to be one of the most annoying bugs in 2.0.1 and I would strongly recommend that you call ISC for the 2.0.2 upgrade which fixes it. If you have purchased since May 31 I believe it is free. >After restarting it via: >/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q30m & >I get these error messages: >..date time... local sendmail[3533]:NOQUEUE:SYSERR:getrequests:cannot bind:\ > ERROR 112 >..date time... local sendmail[3533]:cannot get connection What I said above implies that you only think the process has died and thus when you try and start another copy it cannot bind to the already bound port. At least I am about 95% sure this is what is happening. GET THE UPGRADE!! I think your problem will disappear, oh yes, almost as impor- tant, if you really want to run X also get more memory!!!! :-} -- Jack F.
