- Hi !
-
- Did anybody outhere build IDA sendmail for Stardent. It seems to
- be an easy job, if you have added some missing header files, doing
- your own config/stardent.h file, searching for lost syscalls ...
-
- Well, I managed it to build it except:
-
- If I define LACK_SIGBLOCK, a syscall named sigprocmask is used by
- the compiler, but where to get it from ? I have searched all the
- libraries by 'ar' , did a grep on all the header files ... but nothing.
-
- Ok, beeing a bad guy I have temporarily uncommented the call to sigprocmask
- and compiled IDA sendmail. But starting up sendmail causes sendmail
- immedeatly to fork itself, so that a copy of sendmail is in the process
- table.
-
- If I telnet to smtp, IDA welcomes me, accepts helo, but if I try to
- deliver mail via MAIL FROM: <name> sendmail forks some more times and
- hangs up.
-
- Turning on the debug flags shows that geloadavg returns -1.
-
- Stardent operating system seems to be derived from SYS5, and the station
- shares their disks via NFS to three other stardent stations.
-
- It seems to me that I have done something basically wrong.
-
- Has anybody had similar expierences ?
-
- Please email me
-
- Thanks in advance Hermann
