Hi,
found this posting back from 2013 and wondering if there was ever a
commit on the proposed patch?
http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/PATCH-mlockall-problem-in-OpenBSD-5-2-td166000.html
I'm running current (6.1 GENERIC.MP#99 amd64) and keep getting this
message when trying to start ntp from @ports:
ntpd 4.2.8p10@1.3728-o Fri Jun 2 02:18:56 UTC 2017 (1): Starting
mlockall(): Cannot allocate memory
fatal out of memory (32 bytes)
"top" is showing that I have 5.6GB memory Free so it definitely isn't a
memory issue as I'm sure unless there was a leak that ntpd wouldn't use
'that' much.....
As writing I managed to start the daemon manually by issuing
/usr/local/sbin/ntpd from the cli; checking /var/log/messages these are
the errors coming up:
ntpd 4.2.8p10@1.3728-o Fri Jun 2 02:18:56 UTC 2017 (1): Starting
mlockall(): Cannot allocate memory
./../lib/isc/unix/ifiter_getifaddrs.c:99: unexpected error:
getting interface addresses: getifaddrs: Cannot allocate memory
If this is an interface issue, I just killed the process and tried to
issue the command: /usr/local/sbin/ntpd -I vlan(num)
and unfortunately again it is bombing out with the above error :-(
Can anyone offer any inspiration on this?
Many thanks.
Kaya
