Hello again:
This email is in reference to a problem I reported back in December 18, 2003.
Well, due to shortage of time as my real job kept me very busy, I never got
an opportunity to try vs1.21 on my kernel 2.4.23 as suggested by Herbert.
Just yesterday I decided to upgrade my kernel to 2.4.24 which I patched with
vs1.22 in hopes of making it work, but it didn't. Now that I'm running
2.4.24-vs1.22, I'm still having the same problem I was experiencing back in
December:
--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------
Here is the output of lsof -i (grep sendmail) where both the HOST and CLIENT
should show the same output.
----- HOST -------
sendmail 3165 root 4u IPv4 56533 TCP *:25 (LISTEN)
sendmail 3165 root 5u IPv4 56534 TCP *:587 (LISTEN)
sendmail 3167 root 4u IPv4 56531 TCP localhost:10025 (LISTEN)
----- CLIENT -------
sendmail 3240 root 4u IPv4 58614 TCP christngraphics.com:10025
(LISTEN)
The new question is, how do I back out the vs1.22 patch in order to try
vs1.21?
Thanks in advance,
RV

sounds great!

hmm, don't know about slackware, but the rest
sounds good to me ...

okay, so it works with vs1.20 ...

there is a runlevel script included in the userspace
tools (/etc/init.d/vservers) this might be working
for you too ...

okay, looks like the 'address/port' (whatever it might be)
is already used by some other task ...
I would ask you to try vs1.21, and see if this works for
you, and to locate the address/port the daemon tries to
bind to ...
maybe you could provide the following on a web site:
* output of lsof -i
* your vserver configurations
* your host service configuration
TIA,
Herbert
