Subject: solaris 2.2 & rshd & rc
When doing a rsh command to a solaris 2.2 box, I find that the rc
started by rshd hangs in a cpu loop after the command has terminated.
Interestingly, SIGCLD is ingored in both rshd & rc. Has anyone else
fixed this problem ?
it's not that rc _ignores_ SIGCLD, it just doesn't touch it. when rc
is started by login and forks a program, you will notice that SIGCLD
is SIG_DFL. but when rc is started by rshd, it must be set to SIG_IGN.
bad shit happens in sysvr4 when this is done, namely, a parent is not
notified of the death of a child, so rc just sits in that wait loop
waiting to pick up the status of the child it just forked, a status
it will never get. i noticed the cpu in a tight loop when this happened.
anyway, i just hacked the code to make sure SIGCLD is _always_ SIG_DFL.
this seems to fix the problem.
