I guess the references to my previous experience on FC2 do cloud things
a bit.
I was merely pointing out the fact that recompiling an SRPM from a different
distribution is not supported or recommended, and therefore 'bastardizing'
the OS. It was unclear what you had done from your first mail, but it
sounded awfully close to "I rebuilt the FC2 RPM on my CentOS box". If you
were offended by my tone, I appologize, but I'd recommend getting some
thicker skin in the future...I know perfectly well that RedHat doesn't ship
bug free software, or even software that is compatible with other software
in the distro. Reporting the problem is appreciated, but as I said, it was
unclear if you were reporting a problem with CentOS's RPM or FC2's RPM.
Why would I use a source rpm from FC2? :)
It's Centos/RHEL 4's cyrus-sasl rpm. Specifically, the cyrus-sasl-sql
rpm. It appears all other code seem to work except for the sql plugin. I
am not sure if that is due to configuration error, which seems unlikely
since i copied the configuration for smtpd.conf from the FC2/Opteron
box, or due to threading /sasl initialization issues.
An attempt to get a backtrace gives these results:
------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------
All traces show the crash in _dl_sysinfo_int80 for those who are
interested in licking this one. Are there any debug rpms available?
Unfortunately the backtrace isn't terribly useful.
Nope. All I could find from searching on the '_dl_sysinfo_int80 ()'
string was something about threading or hyper-threading being enabled
causing crashes...does Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz cpus have hyper-threading?
The debug RPMs are stored at http://vault.centos.org/debuginfo *but* it
appears that the cyrus-* rpms are missing.
Boo.
Do you have access to a true RHEL 4 machine? Can this be replicated there?
If so, reporting the issue upstream would be best, with an entry in CentOS's
bug tracker with a pointer to the upstream bugzilla. If it can't be
replicated there, filing a bug report with CentOS would be the best course
of action.
Wish I did have one...otherwise I would have just filed a bug report.
Anyway, I recompiled the cyrus-sasl source rpm after enabling another
plugin that I could make use of and now things are working for me...the
the rebuilt sql plugin still crashes but the other plugin allows me to
make use of the mysql tables I have without doing pam_mysql.
I wonder what is it that is causing the crashes...the logs tell me that
postfix initiated sasl initialization and then it crashes with no other
information...but I guess I can drop it now...

feizhou
