I use Cyrus for handling a local mail store. It uses a special pwcheck
daemon to check passwords as non-root users can't read the encrypted
password field. The Cyrus imap and pop servers talk to pwcheck on a unix
domain socket at /var/pwcheck/pwcheck
This all worked well up to a 2.2-stable kernel from Aug 31. My
previous 2.2-stable kernel from Jul 19 still works. If I boot the Aug
31 kernel, cyrus isn't able to connect to the pwcheck deamon, and if I
boot to the older Jul 19 kernel cyrus works fine.
The connect() call in the following segment of code fails on Aug 31
kernels, and works on Jul 19 kernels and earlier (code is taken from
unix_unix_pwcheck.c from Cyrus 1.5.2).
memset((char *)&srvaddr, 0, sizeof(srvaddr));
srvaddr.sun_family = AF_UNIX;
strcpy(srvaddr.sun_path, STATEDIR);
strcat(srvaddr.sun_path, "/pwcheck/pwcheck");
r = connect(s, (struct sockaddr *)&srvaddr, sizeof(srvaddr));
if (r == -1) {
*reply = "cannot connect to pwcheck server";
return 1;
}
Does anyone have any idea on what has changed as far as unix domain
sockets in 2.2-stable lately? I've looked at the committ logs, and I
don't see anything that stands out.
Tom
