Hello,
I have several systems which I recently updated with
yum -y update
to all the latest packages. These systems use yum-priorities and use the CentOS (priority 1) EPEL (priority 5) and rpmforge (priority 10) repositories. After the updates, dhcpd stopped working with a SIGPIPE error which occurs shortly after it attempts to fork into the background. I worked around that problem by building a new server with no additional repos, only CentOS and dhcpd works fine on that system. Since then I have found the problem, or similar problems with a few more applications. Here is what the tail of an strace of pbs_mom as it attempts to fork into the background:
Paul Bijnens pointed out that Ian Forde had similar issues with dhcpd minutes before I posted my message. I missed that one as I scanned the archives, then joined the list to ask my question. My problem is also solved by removing ldap from the services line in /etc/nsswitch, in every app that was previously failing with the SIGPIPE errors. I'm still curious to understand why, but more so I'm grateful to have a fix for it. Should have joined the list a long time ago :)
Thanks,
