Summary0003684: Error Starting IRCd under Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.2)
DescriptionWhen attempting to start the IRCd, the process always fails with the error:

error setting max fd's to 9223372036854775807
Possible error encountered (IRCd seemingly not started)

Steps To ReproduceCompile IRCd, configure, attempt to start.
Additional InformationTo get the IRCd to compile in the first place, the following had to be done:

/include/sys.h

Find:

 #define dn_skipname __dn_skipname
 #endif

Add under:

/*
 * Mac OS X Tiger Support (Intel Only)
 */
#if defined(macosx) || defined(__APPLE__) && defined(__MACH__)
#define OSXTIGER
#endif

/src/ircd.c

Find:

#if !defined(_WIN32) && !defined(_AMIGA) && DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS != 0

Replace with:

#if !defined(_WIN32) && !defined(_AMIGA) && !defined(OSXTIGER) && DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS != 0

/src/s_conf.c

Find:

#if !defined(_WIN32) && !defined(_AMIGA) && DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS != 0

Replace with:

#if !defined(_WIN32) && !defined(_AMIGA) && !defined(OSXTIGER) && DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS != 0

/src/s_bsd.c

Find:

#if defined(HPUX) || defined(_SOLARIS) || \
    defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) || defined(SVR4) || defined(SGI)
    (void)setsid();
#else
    (void)setpgrp(0, (int)getpid());
#endif

Replace With:

(void)setpgid(0,(int)getpid());

Seems to be an issue related to the patch (BugID 0003489), patch worked for the issue at its point, but causes this one? (Another person added a note to 0003489 about this same error).

Uploaded temp workaround - read the readme.txt

Note the following change in: s_bsd.c

//limit.rlim_cur = limit.rlim_max; /* make soft limit the max */
limit.rlim_cur = 512;
limit.rlim_max = 512;

This limits the maximum connections to 512. Change this if need be.

I could, of course, do this:
        limit.rlim_cur = limit.rlim_max; /* make soft limit the max */
        if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_FD_MAX, &limit) == -1)
        {
/* HACK: if it's mac os X then don't error... */
#ifndef OSXTIGER
#ifndef LONG_LONG_RLIM_T
                (void)fprintf(stderr, "error setting max fd's to %ld\n",
#else
                (void)fprintf(stderr, "error setting max fd's to %lld\n",
#endif
                    limit.rlim_cur);
                exit(-1);
#endif
        }

But that would be more like a hack, and I'm not sure if everyone would be pleased with it :P.

I'll add it anyway.

-edit: added in .704-

If someone has a better solution or if this really breaks something, PLEASE say so ! :)

I'm assuming that it's resolved now (see 704 commit)
