[Buildroot] proftpd Startup issue

[ANDY KENNEDY]

The error:

192.168.1.10 - error: getrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE): Operation not permitted

From /var/log/messages:

Apr 15 18:52:57 newrfs daemon.notice proftpd[83]: 192.168.1.10 - ProFTPD
1.3.3b (maint) (built Fri Mar 25 2011 17:49:38 CDT) standalone mode
STARTUP

BuildRoot version:  (size:)33650639 2011-02-22 16:24 buildroot.tar.bz2
I believe this to be the correct snapshot date.
Sys type: MIPS32r2

I know that this _was_ working before this pull.  I got this snapshot
due to about 5 things being updated, of which (IIRC) one was proftpd.


Looking around reveals that this is a core dump issue.  I do have elf
core dumps enabled in the kernel -- the other part is about ulimit which
I don't have built into BusyBox.

If you know what the requirement is for this, please pass that info
along.

Thanks,
Andy

Hmm, odd - Proftpd hasn't been updated since Oct 2010, so that's
probably not it. What user are you running proftpd as?

I've just checked proftpd here (arm9), and it seems to work fine. I've
committed a few minor tweaks to the default config/skeleton, but you are
presumably using a custom config?

Guess what pull I was working off of ;).  I just updated the other
a couple of months ago, but didn't test proftpd -- it always had
errors on startup because I kept forgetting to customize the conf
file after build, so I expected errors.  It wasn't until someone
started attempting to use it with eclipse that I realized that
something was wrong.

Great, so I'm on my own ;).  There was one other thing about the
build and that is that is uses eglibc, however, I don't think that
would be the problem.  I'm still redirected on a network driver
(which I've never done before) so, I'm not able to get back over
there to that (yet).

Thanks for the info.  Will keep the list posted.

Turns out that eglibc doesn't have support for getrlimit in MIPS,
though as of last month MIPS did join the development team of eglibc
so perhaps a new build of the toolchain will result in a fixed
proftpd.  If not, I guess I'll do some hacking.
