BUG: Glibc 'free(): invalid next size' in bbcmd on FC5
by cleaver＠redwire.net 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Running "bbcmd" after a clean install (default configuration, current allinone patch) results in a glibc free() error. This is on Fedora Core 5 with Glibc2.4-8. Running as "MALLOC_CHECK_=0 ./bbcmd" is a temporary workaround. Attached is the STDERR output, an strace of bbcmd, and partial output from an "strace -vf" on a box where the config file it's trying to open exists. The problem *appears* to be lines 256-7 of lib/environ.c... (but I'm not certain). Regards, Japheth "J.C." Cleaver cleaver at redwire.net

[hobbit] hobbit-*.cfg syntax check
by gmbfly98＠gmail.com 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

I searched through my archives of email on this mailing list, and couldn't find an answer to my question... Is there a syntax checker for the hobbit-*.cfg configuration files (such as hobbit-clients.cfg)? I'm having an issue where some of the rules I set up are apparently being ignored, or otherwise not working as expected. I have a feeling it may be due to a syntax error, but I'm not sure. If there isn't already a way to check the syntax of these files, I think it would be a great feature to add. Similar to the named-checkconf scripts that are available for BIND. I'm also curious, how does Hobbit deal with syntax errors in the configuration files? Does it just skip over bad syntax, or stop completely when it encounters an error?

Cool! I am having issues debugging.... I see a few lines in procmail.log, but that's all. Even with --debug, where does the hobbit mailack debug output go? -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 10:50 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] ack'ing with --no-pin On Fri, Aug 04, 2006 at 10:34:33AM -0500, Brodie, Kent wrote: > OK, that's how I thought it worked.

E.g. send the "df" output through "| tail +2 | sort -nr -k 5" and add a command before the current "df" command to just output the header line: "df|head -1" Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

OK, that's how I thought it worked. One cool thing we ought to think about- email-based acks? Could that be possible? The hobbit server would have to be smtp-aware, and would have to forward hobbit-addressed emails to a script. I'm thinking along the lines that I have an alphanumeric pager with respond/send capability. Just dreamin'.... --------------------------------------------------------- Kent C.

The access is restricted by htaccess, so create your htpasswd secrete file first. Therein, you can ack an event, specify how long the alert should be ignored, and why. The color of the check would change to a yellow check mark. click on it will say the information you entered when acknolwged (who/how long/why). So your teamates can go back to their picnic, assured that Mr. Smart is working on it. As for the no-pin option discussed in the thread, it affects how you pick an event to ack * with no-pin in effect, you get a list of event to pick * w/o no-pin in effect, you enter a PIN number embeded in the SUBJECT of the email alerts.

enabling disabled alerts
by michael_frey＠glic.com 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

After applying the latest patch, disabled alerts no longer re-enable after their scheduled time. Manually enabling from the Admin page, generates a "page cannot be found" error, with the below URL: /hobbit-cgi/(null)/hobbit-enadis.sh Enabling it manually from the test page directly, works.
