[LineControl-development] linesrv 2.1.15 leaks filedescriptors

[Stefan G. <sg...@gm...>]

Moin,

just today I discovered why I cannot restart linesrv while my connection is 
up:
# lsof -i -P -n | grep 16007
linesrv  18856  0  3u  IPv4 46809507  TCP 192.168.0.30:16007 (LISTEN)
linesrv  18856  0  4u  IPv4 46809508  UDP 192.168.0.30:16007
linesrv  18856  0  7u  IPv4 46809598  TCP SRV:16007->ME:36731 (ESTABLISHED)
dhclient 18956  0  3u  IPv4 46809507  TCP 192.168.0.30:16007 (LISTEN)
dhclient 18956  0  4u  IPv4 46809508  UDP 192.168.0.30:16007
dhclient 18956  0  7u  IPv4 46809598  TCP SRV:16007->ME:36731 (ESTABLISHED)

SRV == My server's ip
ME  == my workstation ip

This looks a lot like linesrv is fork()ing for running up/down scripts without 
closing unneeded filedescriptors after the fork (the child should do so 
though).

the config for the device is:
line           myline1
interface      eth1
con_type       netdev
script_up      /sbin/ifup eth1
script_dn      /sbin/ifdown eth1
line_baud_up   2000000
line_baud_down 2000000
allow_manually yes
script_esc     /sbin/ifdown eth0


Would be nice if this could be fixed in case it's not fixed already. 
linesrv-2.1/server/NEWS doesn't mention such a change between 2.1.15 and 
2.1.20 so I guess it's still there.

Bye, Stefan aka mETz
