Hi all,
I have been working with the Cygnus kerberos distribution (Kerberos IV)
and compiling it on a DEC Alpha OSF/1 V3.2. The configuration and
compilation goes without a problem, and all appears happy. The problem
arises when someone rlogins into the machine and logs back out, 2
defunct processes are left behind. Here is an example:
PID PPID
390 1 inetd
1000 390 eklogind
2000 1000 -csh
Once they logout:
PID PPID
390 1 inetd
1000 390 <defunct>
2000 1000 <defunct>
These defunct processes still hold the pty as well, therefore after
enough of these, you're locked out of the machine.
I've also added some code to force eklogind's parent to be init (via a fork),
so that init would have the opportunity to reap it's child. Unfortunately
that didn't help and left the following:
PID PPID
390 1 inetd
1000 1 <defunct>
2000 1000 <defunct>
Other services like rsh don't leave behind any defunct processes.
Unfortunately no one here is an OSF/1 expert by any means, and this
might be attributable to something very specific to that platform.
Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated....either email or
to the newsgroups.
Thanks alot,
Erick
