rinetd fails to close the configuration file (fopen twice, fclose only once) when reading its configuration. Therefore on every configuration reload (through SIGHUP) one file descriptor is lost. In an environment where this is done frequently (e.g. to re-lookup DNS names) the system will run out of file descriptors soon (kern.maxfiles) until rinetd crashes. (I informed the author through his webpage, but I'm not sure if there'll be a response anytime soon) Port maintainer (garga@FreeBSD.org) is cc'd. Generated with FreeBSD Port Tools 0.99 How-To-Repeat: Start rinetd, and use fstat to check the number of open file descriptors: fstat | grep rinetd | wc -l Give the process a SIGHUP (killall -HUP rinetd) and run check the number of open file descriptors using fstat again. On every SIGHUP the number of file descriptors used is increased by one.
