| Summary | 0002956: /restart on chrooted ircd fails | ||||
| Description | Attempting /restart with ircd chrooted with CHROOTDIR, IRC_UID and IRC_GID defined fails. Server dies but does not restart. Suspect it may be attempting to re-chroot itself, finds it can't, then exits? For now I've commented out "can_restart" from my oper block. | ||||

I guess. Then again, how could the new instance of the IRCd know it was already chrooted? Surely it can't be a good reason to just ignore the chdir() error? Plus it will get a chroot() error indeed, especially if it's running with non-root uid. Difficult.. :P Restarting the IRCd chrooted is fun anyway, eg: you might also need a <unrealdir>/etc/resolv.conf, and unless I'm crazy you'll need all the libraries unreal uses (libc etc) as well in <unrealdir>/lib, etc... I guess, in short, not exactly recommended, nor easy, to restart a chrooted ircd on the command line :p. PS: I do run chrooted myself, but.. I never /restart ;p |

Fair enough. Given on the rare occasions I might need to restart, I can do it from a shell on the server this is minor anyway. At least it's covered now, in case anyone else trips over this. Feel free to set it to "won't fix" |

*nod* and it should be documented somewhere, and block /RESTART all together if chrooted since currently all it does is act like a /DIE :P. EDIT: -maybe |
|
|
And done so in CVS (the disable thing). |

Thanks for the report though :P. Perhaps it will save someone from accidently killing his ircd in a particulary nasty situation. |
