CDE 1.3: Hangs/Core Dumps for automounted logins: What am I doing wrong?

Post by Carl Marin » Sat, 09 Sep 2000 21:19:54



Problem:
CDE hangs / dumps core when I login in with my automounted account.  I
setup a non-automounted test account and it works fine.
The workstation is an Ultra 10 running Solaris 7 with the latest Rec/Sec
Patch Cluster.  What am I doing wrong?

/var/adm/messages:
Sep  7 20:16:34 pittysing /usr/dt/bin/ttsession[977]: Could not find
mount point for /etc/tt/types.xdr
Sep  7 20:16:34 pittysing dtwm[980]: libtt[980]: libtt:
startup_ttsession("ttsession -s -d :0.0") failed with code -1, see
syslog

/etc/auto_master:
/net            -hosts          -nosuid,nobrowse
/home           auto_home       -nobrowse
/xfn            -xfn

/etc/auto_home:
*       pittysing:/export/home/&

/etc/dfs/dfstab:
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o rw=pittysing -d "home dirs"  /export/home
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o ro -d "CD-ROM"  /cdrom/cdrom0

Thanks,
Carl

This bug only shows up with lofs-mounted home-directories
in combination with the automounter (and
not on all those systems).
Go back to revision 107893-05, and wait for -09.
If you have a support contract with Sun, you
might open a call and ask them whether they
can provide you with the preliminary patch T107893-09.

Hi - pardon my ignorance, but what are

        "lsof-mounted home-directories"

lofs, not lsof.

Locally mounted via lofs, for example
   mount -F lofs -o rw /export/home/user /home/user,
and then have /home/user as user's login directory.
There appear to exist some conditions under which
ttsession cannot correctly resolve this mount.

> "lsof-mounted home-directories"

See lofs(7FS) - loopback virtual file system

In fact lofs is a mount which does more or less the same as a softlink -
it redirecs access to one directory to another (without the side-effects
of a softlink... :-)
The automounter in Solaris uses them to mount local filesystems in /home
(foreign dirs are mounted via NFS&co.). The automounter in Linux does
the same using softlinks - with all bad side-effects when a
script/program uses relative paths...

Unfortunately lofs does some "optimisations" (it "mirrors" dirs but not
files) which are sometimes the source of trouble - unfortunately there's
no option to turn this behaviour _off_.
Starting with ToolTalk patch 107893-06 ttsession tries to handle
lofs-mounts correctly (e.g. in a way that CDE actions works across
machines again - even if the automounted dir is local) - which works for
our configuration. But it seems that some configurations have problems
with this patch... ;-(

Bye,

Which conditions ? The patch works for me (very well :-) and I can't see
the problems...

Thomas,

Thanks, backed out the patches and now it works as expected.

1. syslogd 1.3 dumps core, what's wrong ?

"Out of the box" Slackware 3.1 (Sep 96) kernel 2.0.0 installation,
(upgraded with XF86 3.2 for MGA)
syslogd ver 1.3: when started from rc.S, waits about ten seconds; creates
process for a few seconds (as seen from top), then quits and dumps core.
When started manually in debug mode (command syslogd -d),
gives immediately "Segmentation fault. Core dumped."

Size of syslogd is **500, when installation CD lists **776.
Installed binary from syslogd.tgz anew, same size (**500), same result.
Compiled it from source, same size (**500), same result.

Everything else (of what I have tested) seems to work OK (Netscape 3.0,
JDK102, NCSA httpd 1.5.2a, ...)

klogd seems to work, when started manually with given target file.

Anybody seen this before ?
