[hobbit] getcwd cannot access parent directories

[Bill Hart]

Just an update, apparently clientupdate didn't work quite like I'd hoped
and now I am completely unable to run the linux client.  There are
floating point errors everywhere.

 

I decided to try and build the client directly on one of the machines,
and doing a make install even gets me a floating point error.


>From make install : 

 

if test ! -f /home/hobbit/client/etc/localclient.cfg ; then cp
localclient.cfg /home/hobbit/client/etc/ ; fi

cp -fp runclient.sh /home/hobbit/client

cp -fp hobbitlaunch logfetch clientupdate orcahobbit msgcache
hobbitclient*.sh bb bbcmd bbhostgrep bbhostshow bbdigest
/home/hobbit/client/bin/

../build/merge-sects clientlaunch.cfg
/home/hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg

make[1]: *** [install] Floating point exception

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hobbit/hobbit-4.2.0/client'

make: *** [install-client] Error 2

 

This is the 4.2.0 with the patches from Oct 3rd applied (I thought there
was a Nov 7th build yesterday, but I don't' see it on the site now)

Subject: [hobbit] getcwd cannot access parent directories

 

Hello all,  I recently had the opportunity to re-install my hobbit
server on FC6.  As usual, this led me to exploring more features of
Hobbit, and updating the clients to the full 4.2 release as well.

 

After I got the server up, and possibly after the client was updated,
this error started showing up in the log file on an RHEL AS3 server:

 

shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access
parent directories: No such file or directory

 

There is no time stamp on it, so I can't tell if it's before or after
the clientupdate happened or not, but it does happen every 5 minutes,
which is when the client would be reporting in.

 

We have 2 other servers that are also RHEL AS3 on the same hardware with
similar installs, and they are not exhibiting this behavior.

 

I checked the archives and there was a thread about a year ago about
this happening on Debian, but I didn't see any real resolution, just
that the client worked but kicked up the error (which is what we're
seeing).

 

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips ? 

 

Thanks,
