Moin !
I tried compiling sendmail5.65c/IDA1.4.4 under 386bsd ( 0.1 ) today. It seems
like everything should work ( after some smaller changes ), but I get a
mysterious error which I don't understand. I compiled gdbm under 386bsd
( the test-programs showed no problems with this ) and compiled sendmail
with -DGDBM ( and IDA too, of course ).
When I use gdbm "by hand" to create e.g. the uucp-pahttable and do some
fetches everything looks ok. But when testing sendmail it complains about
the alias-database ( there's no problem in creating one with sendmail -bi )
is locked in some way. Looks like an EAGAIN from errno.h. Here's an
example:
[..powerup, fresh system..]
lemmoncurry:/etc/sendmail (24) > dbm fetch usenet aliases
usenet [NOT FOUND]
lemmoncurry:/etc/sendmail (25) > dbm dump aliases |grep usenet
usenet clu <-- STRANGE, TOO!
lemmoncurry:/etc/sendmail (26) > mail clu@malihh.hanse.de
test
EOT
lemmoncurry:/etc/sendmail (27) >
can't open database '@' [/etc/sendmail/aliases]: Resource temporarily unavailable
Jan 26 02:14:35 lemmoncurry sendmail[109]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: can't open database '@' [/etc/sendmail/aliases]: Resource temporarily unavailable
Jan 26 02:14:35 lemmoncurry sendmail[109]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: can't open database '@' [/etc/sendmail/aliases]: Resource temporarily unavailable
lemmoncurry:/etc/sendmail (27) > dbm fetch usenet aliases
aliases{.dir,.pag}: Resource temporarily unavailable
lemmoncurry:/etc/sendmail (28) >
I don't have any idea what is happening here. Any help appreciated.
greetings,
Carsten
