Hi -
I have been running into a weird problem with the gifaceserver program
that has me stumped...
Basically, whenever gifaceserver is called (via webace or aceclient), it
just hangs in memory, and stops responding to anything. From ps:
8 S 98 295 133 0 78 20 608f8020 1273 600c236e ? 0:01
gifacese
8 S 60001 296 271 1 49 20 60a3f628 598 600c30b6 ? 0:01
webace
- gifaceserver is sleeping.
The first error messages I found on this, from the syslog, were:
May 15 02:48:07 pgfsun sshd2[9811]: FATAL ERROR: ssh_pty_get_exit_status

>From the $ACEDB/server.log, I have a lot of entries like

Apparently, gifaceserver starts fine, then tries to register its RPC
port and fails. Now, the only significant things I did on the system
before this was install an ssh2 server, but that shouldn't have affected
any ace stuff or RPC calls. I even disabled the sshd2 daemon
temporarily, with no effect. Webace was working fine up till this point.
In my /etc/rpc, I have
acedb 200001
(I also tried it with ' rpc.acedbd' appended to this line; no
difference).
In inetd.conf, I have
acedb/1 stream rpc/tcp wait d-giface
/usr/local/bin/rpc.acedbd rpc.acedbd
/var/local/acedb/compositdb/lettdb 200001 600:600:50
So, if you have any words of wisdom, I'd appreciate it. Or point me to
something incredibly obvious that I'm missing.
Thanks in advance,
