Subject: waitid breaks telnet
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2004 22:55:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20041130225221.009d1340@pop.mindspring.com> (raw)

[ 2nd send, this one from my home email account...]

telnet no longer works:

     # chkconfig telnet on
     # telnet localhost
     Trying 127.0.0.1...
     Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
     Escape character is '^]'.
     Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 2)
     Kernel 2.6.10-rc2 on an i686
     Connection closed by foreign host.

A bsearch placed the bug between 2.6.9-rc1-bk[78], another
bsearch on the changesets showed the problem is caused
by this patch:

     roland@redhat.com[torvalds]|ChangeSet|20040831173525|30767
     [PATCH] waitid system call

My guess is, something about the new wait4(2) wrapper
is causing the telnet daemon to declare success before
its child, /bin/login, exits.
