When using the ecartis 1.0.0 (ex-Listar) web interface on 4.2-release, and trying to log in without a password, login fails and mails this report: Error report: List: User: Action: File: /home/ecartis/lists/SITEDATA/cookies Error: Bad file descriptor -- queuefile in error -- << NO QUEUEFILE! >> The comment by Rachel Blackman, the ecartis developer, is: "After a bit of abuse, I was able to produce this error when my own FreeBSD-4.2 box ran out of file descriptors due to a rogue process (in this case, a faulty PHP/FI engine compile that was not always freeing file handles for some reason). Perhaps something similar is affecting your box?" The box is a dedicated list server, nothing else running. kern.maxfiles: 16384 kern.maxfilesperproc: 16384 vm.zone: ITEM SIZE LIMIT USED FREE REQUESTS PIPE: 160, 0, 44, 58, 866 SWAPMETA: 160, 256500, 0, 0, 0 unpcb: 64, 0, 26, 294, 2960 ripcb: 192, 65536, 0, 42, 4 tcpcb: 544, 65536, 9, 68, 920 udpcb: 192, 65536, 6, 36, 2457 tcpcb: 544, 65536, 0, 0, 0 socket: 192, 65536, 41, 316, 6346 KNOTE: 64, 0, 0, 128, 2280 NFSNODE: 320, 0, 0, 0, 0 NFSMOUNT: 544, 0, 0, 0, 0 VNODE: 192, 0, 1692, 110, 1692 NAMEI: 1024, 0, 0, 16, 135476 VMSPACE: 192, 0, 38, 90, 864 PROC: 416, 0, 43, 104, 870 DP fakepg: 64, 0, 0, 0, 0 PV ENTRY: 28, 1494926, 10383, 120680, 281535 MAP ENTRY: 48, 0, 808, 935, 32037 KMAP ENTRY: 48, 32190, 272, 111, 1298 MAP: 108, 0, 7, 3, 7 VM OBJECT: 96, 0, 1276, 492, 19321 What kind of tool is there to watch file openings and catch errors? Or any other ideas? The box works fine as list server, sending 200K+ messages (via postfix) per day just fine. But I only try the LSG web login when no list is being delivered. nothing in maillog, dmesg, or messages.
