Patch 142437 (Sendmail 8.14.4) broken?

After installation of Patch 142437-05 (and newer) and therefore upgrading to sendmail 8.14.4, I cant get sendmail to bind on all interfaces. Removing the patch and downgrading to 8.13.8 resolves the issue.
Normally, you specify where to bind to with the following line in sendmail.cf:
{noformat}DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA{noformat}
Omitting the "Addr=127.0.0.1", sendmail should bind on all interfaces (as written in the docs). However, without Addr= sendmail binds to 127.0.0.1, as long as I dont specifiy another valid IP address of the server, in which case it binds there.
Sendmail 8.13.8 behaves this normally (binding to *:25), 8.14.4 not.
Did I miss something, or is the current version of sendmail broken?

are you saying to re-create /etc/default/sendmail and place MODE=bd inside ? I no longer have the /etc/default/sendmail file. What I ended up doing was hacking the /lib/svc/method/smtp-sendmail.
from:
local=`/usr/bin/svcprop -p config/local_only $SMF_FMRI 2>/dev/null`
if [ $? -eq 0 -a "$local" = "true" ]; then
MODE="-bl"
fi
to:
local=`/usr/bin/svcprop -p config/local_only $SMF_FMRI 2>/dev/null`
if [ $? -eq 0 -a "$local" = "true" ]; then
MODE="-bd"
fi
svcadm enable sendmail
ps -ef |grep sendmail
root 3300 1 0 16:20:38 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m
root 3301 3300 0 16:20:38 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m
This works even if the svcprop of config/local_only is set to false, very bizzare.

  • ISE 1.2 Patch 2 External RADIUS Server Sequence Broken?

    Hi community,
    We have upgraded our proof of concept ISE 1.2 lab to Patch level 2.
    Our lab design includes the use of external RADIUS servers which we off-load certain authentication rules to.
    To ensure resiliency of the external RADIUS service, we have two of these which we add to a RADIUS Server Sequence, the idea being that if the first in the list is unavailable, ISE will try the second and all will be well.
    Now this worked for us in testing ISE 1.2, but I have noticed that after the upgrade to Patch 2 ISE is sending the majority RADIUS traffic to the first (failed) external RADIUS server, with only the odd RADIUS Access-Request to thte next in the list.
    Anybody else come across this??
    All helpful comments rated!
    Many thanks, Ash.

    I couldn't find any known issues with this feature. Could you please paste the screen shot of external radius sequence and configuration. Also, how are we determing that the first server in the sequence is DEAD?

  • Solaris 10 Patching issues

    Any body have these problems.
    System:
    AMD Duron 1200MHZ
    512Kb Ram
    40gig IDE HD
    Netgear FG511 NIC
    I am a Noob with Solaris and Unix in general and dont have any experience with Linux but am open minded and enjoy getting my teeth into new stuff. I have found Solaris to be a great challenge and Unix seems to be a suitable replacement to Windows. The only issue I have is regarding patching of the OS. I recently downloaded the recommended x86 patches and ran the install_cluster...upon reboot solaris just kept rebooting...there was some kind of panic in the kernel. I had a look on the net and found the patch that was causing the issue. I then rebuilt(I could have removed the patch but decided to do a rebuild anyway) I then edited the Patch_order file and removed the reference to the 118844-20 patch which caused the kernel panic.
    I then installed the cluster again and rebooted and it seemed that solaris came up fine. but when I logged in a couple of applications for GNOME did not start(window list,workspace switcher,show desktop etc) it gave an error and asked if I wanted to restart these apps.
    Next I tried to open a .gz archive and the file roller app died.
    I then went to a terminal window and gunzipped the archive and then tried to tar -x the resulting file from the gunzip about half way through the untar Solaris rebooted. I have had no issues with archive files prior to patching so can only assume that it is one of the patches that is causing the issue?????
    has anyone had similer issues.
    I must admit, its a bit unnerveing when you install recommended patches that your system becomes very unstable.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem and unfortunately no answers. Same story - build Solaris on machine, runs fine. Run update connection, load security and recommended patches and boom - Solaris is now broken. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to recover so my only course of action is to reinstall Solaris.
    I traced it to a similar patch - 118844-30. I've since rebuilt the box using S10 Update 1 which includes Grub etc, but same problem if I run update connection and download the recommended patches which inlcudes 118844-30 => reinstall Solaris.
    Any ideas?

  • Deployment of JAVA-Patches with SUM failed, MOPZ has downloaded malicious code

    some time ago, we did an upgrade of our doublestack PI-System from NW-PI-700-SPS18 to NW-PI-731-SPS05.
    Now, i wanted to upgrade this PI-system from NW-PI-731-SPS05 to NW-PI-731-SPS07.
    with SUM 1.0 SP10 PL4 we are now failing in the Execution-phase (Downtime):
    Error in phase 5.6. execution (downtime) of the JAVA-Part
    F  ********************************************************************************
    F  *** ERROR => Node 'deployment' failed with exit code 67.
    F  ***
    F  *** Please see section 'Failures in the 'deploying offline components' phase'
    F  *** in SAP Note 1316652 for additional information and trouble shooting advice.
    F  ********************************************************************************
    and the instance could not start up anymore !?
    in sap-note 1316652 there is mentioned a separate sap-note 1550641 for this error
    http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1316652
    in sap-note 1550641 - Update fails-Node 'deployment' failed with exit code 67.           
    http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1550641
    Solution:
    A fix cannot be deployed as a patch, because the deployer itself is broken.
    The solution is to reset a back up state of the system, to download the new version of the stack from SAP Marketplace, and to rerun the update/upgrade procedure.
    i downloaded the patch-stack (with Solman MOPZ) some days ago,
    so MOPZ did download the malicious code of deployment components..... ?!
    so what to do?

    Hi,
    sorry for my late reply,
    but the whole story needs a lot of time (nearly 2 month) and finally ends successfully.
    first: (summary) the main-title of this thread is wrong,
    it was not MOPZ or Solman download, what caused this issue.
    the problem was caused by a remaining (old) sapxmltoolkit.jar in the java-bootstrap folder

    remarks:
    formerly, we did a copy of that mentioned sapxmltoolkit.jar to the java-bootstrap folder (in March 2013) because of investigation PI-processes
    after upgrading from NW-7.00 to NW-7.31, to get PI-system running after upgrade to NW-7.31
    but maybe that formerly issues were caused by other things, cache or so ...
    and since then (March 2013) we could start/stop that PI-system several times without any problem, only SUM-upgrade could not ......
    i really understand that investigating problems in SAP-software (e.g. SUM-process, java-startup ...) is not easy and could have many causes.
    but in summary this SUM-downtime was really large (55 days of downtime) , because of sandbox-system we want to investigate this time,
    to get the solution to this issue.
    if some SAP people want to look for speed-up options in the whole support-process, the OSS_ticket-no is:  ( 459757 / 2014 )
    Thanks to SAP-support (for the helpful solution)

  • Weird permissions problems

    Solaris 9 sytem, recently patched.
    I seem to have broken something. Many processes are working but giving permissions errors for users and daemons:
    My pop server says it can't create .<name>.pop files in /var/mail and to check permissions. This has been working just fine and permissions have not been changed.
    lpsched reports "Failed to exec child process (permission denied)" and fills the log file with this msg.
    Can't ssh into the system: but the ssh client reports a failur to chdir to /export/home/<name> - permission denied, but the sshd log file accepted the passwd and reports no error. The home dir exists and this has been working.
    As root, doing su - <name> reports back "No directory!" while su <name> says "su: No shell"
    logins -x -l <name> reports everything is A-OK, the home directory exists, and is owned correctly. I can chdir into it as root and ls -n reports correct uid/gid.
    There is some common thread to this that I'm not seeing... Any ideas? It is not a permissions problem - I seem to have broken some ability for root to run processes correctly.

    About BOLT and Opera Mini, it's a signature problem.
    your device will always ask you if an application can go on the internet, unless the application is signed.
    you just have to download the signed version of the application.
    The problem is that editors refuse to sign their application using the signing authorities trusted by RIM, and on the other side, RIM refuses to install on your device an application that is signed by an authority that RIM does not trust as "code signing".

  • Many pages broken after db9206 and as9041 patch

    We are running HTMLDB 1.5. We just patched our db from 9205 to 9206 and our as from 9040 to 9041. After the patches many of our HTMLDB screens (and many HTMLDB builder screens) are broken. Many screen widgets (dropdowns, buttons,etc) are returning page not found. They all seem to be generating this url: "host/pls/htmldb/wwv_flow.accept " That's the entire url, no more parms. We should have tested better before putting these patches on production, but here we are. We really need some fast help.

    We put in a TAR on this and support said: "I checked internally and confirmed that the 9.2.0.6 upgrade can cause the issues you are seeing. Patch 4015165 is appropriate. Note 295550.1 addresses this."
    We put in the patch just nnow and it does fix the problem. All you in HTMLDB-land be warned: this is a serious issue that rendered all of our HTMLDB applications - including the builder and admin screens - unusable. If you are planning on going to 9206, plan to put in this one-off right away.

  • Patch "124923-03 SunOS 5.10_x86: ld.so.1 patch" broken ???

    Hello,
    last Saturday I updated one of our development systems with the latest patches. Since than we had severe problems on the machine with core dumping binaries:
    - jdk1.6.0 (jdk1.5.0 ok)
    - Ice (Internet communication engine)
    - icu (international components for unicode)
    - boost
    The reasons seems to be, that the stack unwinding / exception handling is broken.
    After deinstalling the patch "124923-03 SunOS 5.10_x86: ld.so.1 patch", everything worked again.
    Details can be found here:

    If you want to install this patch you need to install packages
    SUNWsam SUNWsamr SUNWcacaort SUNWscn*
    Their installed by default on so10 6/6 machines but not on earlier.
    Iver been installing them just so the patch will install and smpatch analyze looks cleaner.
    They don't seem to do any harm :-).

    Dude, I hate to say this, but this is known. In fact, Apple recommends doing a lot of what you said. They have a basic support system called the 5 R's which stand for Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, and Restore.
    As far as the video issue, I haven't heard of that, but then again I don't have or use a classic so I can't help you there.

  • Weblogic  patch has broken the LDAP authentication

    Hi,
    We have installed  XIR2 SP4 on  Linux and also installed a patch for the weblogic ,after installing weblogic patch we are unable to login to the infoview using LDAP authentication getting  error  ""An Error has Occurred: java.lang.InstantiationException:Could not instantiate bean CE_Session, neither class nor beanName were specified."
    Curently we have  uninstalled the weblogic  patch , now everyting is working fine.
    We want to know the reason for this , why the instalation of patch has  broken the LDAP authentication?
    Environment -
    BOXIR2 SP4,
    LINUX,
    Web logic 9.2,
    Oracle 10g.
    Thank you  in Advance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bill.

    You'll have to open an incident with support, that error doesn't seem like an actual LDAP error so go with deployment if you do. See if you can get an engineer to reproduce or trace your environment. This is the 1st time I've heard of a weblogic patch breaking LDAP.

  • How to quickly recover from the broken Exchange Server VM due to Windows Update patch or Service Pack ?

    Folks,
    I'm planning to apply the Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3 and also applying the Cumulative Update 7 along with Windows Update which haven't been done since the past two years (~100+ patches).
    So in this case it I cannot afford to lose any of the Exchange Server due to the bad updates or broken server due to patches. At The moment all of the VMs currently running on VMware:
    HT/CAS role Windows NLB:
    PRODMAIL01-VM
    PRODMAIL02-VM
    Mailbox Server stand-alone non-DAG:
    PRODMBX01-VM
    PRODMBX02-VM
    Domain Controllers:
    PRODDC01
    PRODDC02
    My questions are:
    1. When taking the VMware snapshot for easy roll-back, do I have to take the entire 2 sets of the domain controller as well?
    2. Assuming I have done the Schema Update successfully and moving on to apply the SP3 to the HT/CAS server role, do I have to take both of the mailbox server VMs snapshot as well?
    3. Can I disconnect the virtual NIC inside the guest OS to safely take snapshot before applying the patches or service pack ? or do I have to let the network to be always connected during the Service Pack or CU patch process ?
    Any kind of suggestion for a better way to quickly roll back broken Exchange server due to patching would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Sendmail patch (config file overwritten)

    Hello.
    The 122857-04 patch unconditionally overwrote my /etc/mail/sendmail.cf config.
    Is this normal behavior ?
    M.C>
    I was redirected from patch forum ( http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=109284 ).

    Yes, thats normal, unfortunately.
    For some reason, sun has never developed a clue and realised that people might have a problem with their mail suddenly stopping working.
    You will need to regenerate your sendmail.cf from the mc.

  • Does Sun have a guideline or method for installing sendmail patches

    Installing Suns sendmail patches overwrites any customized
    configurations. Does Sun have any guidelines for how to
    (automatically) patch systems without getting hit by mail
    not going your way?
    I'd really like to be able to use smpatch for all patches, but with
    this patch, this does not seem possible, without do some
    kludge scripting to handle this.

    Hi Guenther,
    I have a guess...
    The Memory Analyzer is implemented as an Eclipse editor. That means, Eclipse decides based on the extension what editor to open. We have registered the editor for the hprof extension.
    Sometimes, heap dumps end with the timestamp, like java_pid282.hprof.200804031745. If you use "Open Heap Dump" then we will try to rename the file. If you use "Open File", it will try to open the heap dump with the default editor as it doesn't know the 200804xxx extension. The default editor is the text editor and that will not work. So the work-around is renaming the file.
    Kind regards,
      - Andreas.

  • Servers where patches will not install automatically or manually, Live updates are broken and when checking installed updates shows "NO UPDATES ARE INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER" SFC \SCANNOW will not run

    Hello, (Bit of a long one but please read)
    We have 3 servers in same physical location and server OU etc that are exhibiting the exact same behaviors (we have server servers in this location that are not), as above theyt are all W2008 R2 SP1 and all built from the same standard
    image we use on hundreds of other computers, they have also been in production for different amounts of time and we started to see this behavior at different times with them: (Its odd they are all in the same site where there are also several other servers
    that are not effected, there must be a link ? )
    These servers are all missing several patches when checking our internal tool that reports from IBM endpoint management that we use to deliver patches (they are not all missing the exact same patches some ore or less than other), although
    SCCM (we used SCCM to deliver patches until around 6 months ago) and IBM EM are both running (some ptches hark back to the SCCM Delievry days) they are not patching and when attempting to patch manually by downloading the exact patch coresponding to the fixlet
    ID and the KB , the stanbdalone installer starts and after some time you receive an error message “The update is not applicable to yoru computer”. Windows update returns error 80070006 for all of the servers.
    it is worth noting that other applications and products also using the .MSU extension will insatll so it is not a problem with the installer service.
    The above led me to think a corrupt patch may have stopped the sequence of patching so I then looked in “Programs and Features” => “Installed updates” and this is blank for all of them returening the message:
    “NO UPDATES ARE INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER”.  (this I believe is a part of the fundamental issues and resolving this may resolve the patching)
    Another issue is that if you run  “SFC /SCANNOW” It starts the scan and then returns: “Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation” (Also in safe mode and both from an elevated CMD and WMI is started as a service)
    The all three are probably related so I think fixing the “SFC and NO UPDATES SHOWN” issues will resolve the first.
    The things I have tried so far are:
    Running : wmic qfe list full /format:htable > c:\updates.htm             Should produce a list of updates but instead returns :  No Instance(s) Available (this is not hopeful)
    Fix: Ran the “SYSTEM UPDATE REDINESS TOOL” from  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
    Result : Update Ran successfully but NO CHANGE
    Fix: Ran the automated and manual fix “RESET WINDOWS UPDATE COMPONENTS” here :
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058/en then undated windows update agent.
    Result : All ran successfully and NO CHANGE
    Fix: Ran MBSA
    Result : Runs successfully and then stays at “Done downloading security update information” (Log gives no obvious information)
    Fix: Renamed the software distribution folder/restarted services (Various variations of this fix online, tried a few)
    Result: Runs as described in article with new Software distribution folder being created,
    NO CHANGE

    The WMI Repository checks out on them all for both of the methods I know to verify “Get-wmiobject –list |measure” and ensure count is over 900 and also “C:\>winmgmt /verifyrepository” and the repository came back as “WMI Repository is consistent”. I guess
    this is not hard evidence the WMI is OK, but these are the only methods I know.
    I have also tried removing the server from its OU , running a GP Update and then rebooting and testing but to no avail (Bit of a longshot but tried to link the distinction between the three servers and the OU GP is one of them)
    I have tried a few other articles registering .Dll’s etc , but I did not take a note of links as I was at the start of this and didn’t expect it to go so long so please reply with anything you see not above im happy to try again.
    I have thought about removing SP1 and reinstalling it but this will require a major downtime and only possible if the backup files of SP1 have not been removed.
    Any help is apreciated !

    Hi,
    Please try to rebuil the WMI repository.
    For detailed information, please refer to the blog below,

    If issue persists, due to sfc doesn't work, could you try to repair your system with the installation disk?
    Best Regards.

  • Sendmail broken from Solaris 10 11/06 to Solaris 10 8/07 - port 25 broken

    I am in the process of building a new solaris 10 8/07 server to replace a solaris 10 11/06 server. Both are running.
    Sendmail on both has changes limited to:
    correcting /etc/hosts to include mailhost entry
    dns server pointing to localhost as mailhost
    local-host-names set on each
    aliases set up and newaliases run
    Otherwise, the configuration files are standard and both are running the as shipped main.cf.
    svcadm enable -r network/smtp seems to work fine and the services show as enabled
    The 11/06 server has run fine for close to a year.
    The 8/07 server has mconnect work fine to localhost but I get connection denied when I try to come in via the ip number.
    TCP Wrappers are not running, but even then I have hosts.allow set with lots of variations of ALL: ALL.
    No errors in /var/log/syslog.
    How do I figure out what is happening on the port and why it is not connecting?
    # mconnect localhost
    connecting to host localhost (127.0.0.1), port 25
    connection open
    220 mailhost.molten-rock.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8; Sun, 4 Nov 2007 16:44:25 +1300 (NZDT)
    # mconnect magma
    connecting to host magma (192.168.25.250), port 25
    connect: Connection refused
    # uname -a
    SunOS magma 5.10 Generic_127112-02 i86pc i386 i86pc
    # svcs | grep smtp
    online 15:45:50 svc:/network/smtp:sendmail

    Thanks, but had found a previous discussion with this hint and applied it.
    svccfg -s sendmail listprop shows config /local_only = false
    Yes, I would really love to fix the fault, but what I would really like is some hints as to how to debug ports under svc control.

  • Deferred patching broken for machines with zones

    For a while I've noticed that Ive had trouble patching a couple of machines.
    I've managed to determine the significant characteristic identifying them.
    All the machines with a non global zone have the problem.
    To confirm, I added a test zone to a machine that was fine. And it immediately it developed the problem.
    Anyway, the symptom is that no deferred patches will install.
    So patches delayed by a "smpatch update" till the reboot fail to install.
    The sunucLog displays the following error

    Sep 17 10:30:05 webdb1 123186-03 [ALERT] Status Install End 123186-03 Install Update installation failed
    Anyone got any workarounds for this problem.
    Is it a known issue.
    Or should I log a support request.

    Any progress on this? Its been 2 months. And sun has managed to put out an entire new update to Solaris.
    And a 119254-59 has been released. But neither includes a fix for this issue as far as I can tell...
    Its now basically impossible to patch machines with zones up to the latest kernel 137137-09 since that has a dependency on 119254-58.
    And machines with zones can't be patched if a version higher than 119254-53 is installed....
