Re: [OpenSER-Users] [openser 1.3] loading module auth.so stop my server (bug?!)

            LM_INFO("(3a)\n");
            sec_rand[i] = 32 + (int)(95.0 * rand() / (RAND_MAX + 1.0));
    }
    LM_INFO("(4)\n");

but never exit ! This is the reason why my server does not start and keeps blocked there. I modified the code above to print more logs, I can see in the logs the string (3a) once but I never (4): IMHO it is blocked somewhere in the first random computation.

I'm running openser on Redhat Enterprise v4.

Is there anything else I should configure in my environment ? Or I found a bug ?

Hi Pascal,

i just tested it, it works fine on my system. Without a secret parameter (which probably most people uses), its autogenerated. What version of openser do you use? Do you get a core file (in the working directory)/ observed a crash on startup? Could you please post the last lines debug log of the startup?

Cheers,

Henning
