Sébastien BLON ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
bug with identd autentication
Long Description
Hi
The postmaster backend seems to be blocked when the identd server of the peer
accepts the connection but does not respond. (ie if the load is too high
on the identd server for example)
In fact, identd is dying without closing the socket. I know that it
is an identd problem ( pident 3.012 )
The identification seems to be performed by the parent process,
not by a child. Postgres stops forking and does not accept
connections anymore. (See strace below)
The timeout seems to be not configurable.
If posgtres is not restarted or if we do not wait for 5 minutes or
more, Postgres keeps blocking.
I hope i am clear enough.
