Greetings,

 
Recently I did a massive system upgrade, and now whenever I try to start
my hobbit server I get the following error in the hobbitd.log file

 
2005-12-19 10:00:00 Setup complete

2005-12-19 10:00:00 Fatal error in select: Bad file descriptor

 
And it just keeps repeating.

 
Does anyone know what might have broke hobbit or what I have to do to
fix the error?

 
Thanks,

Adam

Select is a socket call used to set up a listener.  You say you did a massive upgrade, if you built Hobbit from source, did you rebuild it?

Any odd messages in the hobbitlaunch.log file ? This gets the error
messages from the very early startup-phase of hobbitd.

This error is really one of those "it-cannot-happen" errors.
Meaning that either the error-message is bogus, or something
very weird is going on. Just in case, did you recompile Hobbit
after the upgrade, to make sure the run-time libraries etc. are
in sync with your new system ?

Never mind - what happened was during my upgrade, my udev file did not
get updated correctly so my /dev/random, /dev/urandom and /dev/null
files did not have the correct file permissions - all is fixed now

 
Thanks,

Adam

Yes, I did rebuild hobbit after the upgrade (I took the same opportunity
to upgrade hobbit to the newest snapshot)...  It is all working now --
it was a file permissions problem in /dev

Thanks to all of you who responded so quickly
