Re: SSH Daemon failing
It appears to run fine to begin with, loading libraries and reading config
files, these are the last few lines. It tries to fork, and then just dies.
read(3, "-----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n"..., 672) = 672
_llseek(3, 0, [0], SEEK_SET) = 0
fcntl64(3, F_GETFL) = 0x8000 (flags
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE)
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=672, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0)
= 0x40016000
_llseek(3, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR) = 0
read(3, "-----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n"..., 4096) = 672
close(3) = 0
munmap(0x40016000, 4096) = 0
fork() = 451
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) ---
_exit(0)
On a box where SSH is working
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=668, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0)
= 0x40016000
_llseek(3, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR) = 0
read(3, "-----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n"..., 4096) = 668
close(3) = 0
munmap(0x40016000, 4096) = 0
fork() = 6632
_exit(0) = ?
