Hi there,
I'm having some strange problem with an Exim binary/package I built myself for
Debian/GNU Linux stable (and that's otherwise running GREAT since some months,
even on a pretty loaded system!!!)
When I tried to use "exiwhat" all I got was the following:
=============== 8x ================
Server:~# exiwhat
/usr/sbin/exiwhat: [: too many arguments
/usr/sbin/exiwhat: [: too many arguments
cut: No: No such file or directory
cut: permissions: No such file or directory
cut: to: No such file or directory
cut: read: No such file or directory
cut: config: No such file or directory
cut: file: No such file or directory
cut: (null)/exim-process.info: No such file or directory
=============== 8x ================
When I tried to figure out what was going wrong I stumbled across the
following problem:
Server:~# exim -C /etc/exim/exim.conf -bP spool_directory
No permissions to read config file (null)
Even further sleuthing gave me this:
Server:~# strace exim -C /etc/exim/exim.conf -bP spool_directory
[...]

config file (null)
) = 42
munmap(0x40014000, 4096) = 0
_exit(1) = ?
Anyone seen THIS?!
I've found some references to the above error message in Google that either
seem to suggest a problem in glibc or in strace:
ii strace 4.4-1.2 A system call tracer.
ii libc6 2.2.5-11.2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
Hints anyone?!
Thanks,
Ralf
