Some errors today...

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Chris,
   Need more information before I can make any comments.
You seem to have generated errors that I have never
seen before, so it would be nice to know what your setup
is and how you are running argus/ra, and if they are stock
or modified routines.

The bind() errors are generally caused by competing argi,
where one has the listen on the port, and another argus
is trying to bind to the same port.  I have seen where some
kernel's don't give up the port for quite a while (> 120 sec)
after a process that has it open, exits.  I thought we
solved that in the 2.x stuff, so I would bet that you are
running multiple images of argus.

   The "input record %d size = %d" error message is dubious,
as this value is a 16 bit value, and so it shouldn't be
any bigger than 64K.  I haven't seen this, so if you have
a file that has a record in it that causes this message, I
would definitely like to take a look.

   The ArgusWriteNewLogfile() error message is a bug, and
I'll try to have a fix for it tomorrow.

If you could describe your situation a bit better, I should
be able to shed some light on your problems.
Hope this helps,

Carter

Hi Carter, others.  I just put in place the sever/client thing today...
and, 
on one side (client) I have (from /var/log/messages on both boxes,
redhat 
7.1):

May 29 11:22:13 odyssey ra[7874]:

and, on the other side (server):

May 29 13:01:44 epic argus[8390]: argus: ArgusEstablishListen: bind()
error May 29 13:01:44 epic argus[8392]: argus: ArgusEstablishListen:

argus[8812]: argus: ArgusEstablishListen: bind() error May 29 14:35:13
epic argus[8814]: argus: ArgusEstablishListen: bind() error May 29
14:35:14 epic argus[8816]: argus: ArgusEstablishListen: bind() error


on both sides, these errors caused both parts (ra, and argus) to crash.
