next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
the freebsd port of openbsd isakmpd has a bug which soaks up CPU
the solution we found was to open the UI FIFO as RDRW and not RDONLY...
this is in fact in the code but was difficult for us to track down as teh
cause (i'm not an expert coder)...
in ui.c:
/* No need to know about errors. */
unlink (ui_fifo);
if (mkfifo (ui_fifo, 0600) == -1)
log_fatal ("ui_init: mkfifo (\"%s\", 0600) failed", ui_fifo);
/* XXX Is O_RDWR needed on some OSes? Photurisd seems to imply that.
*/
// TR ... FIFO opened as O_RDWR and not O_RDONLY ...
ui_socket = open (ui_fifo, O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK, 0);
// ui_socket = open (ui_fifo, O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK, 0);
if (ui_socket == -1)
log_fatal ("ui_init: open (\"%s\", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK, 0) failed",
ui_fifo);
}
we did this to cvs of mid november sources from openbsd - i notice that the
official ports are chronically out of date... the newer isakmpd has a lot
more functionality and stability ...

tariq
