Fort Bug - FreeBSD

Tue Jul 6 08:19:21 UTC 2021

Hi all.

I ran into an issue getting Fort to run on FreeBSD:

Jul  2 10:46:14 nms2 fort[14304]: ERR: - Resource temporarily unavailable
Jul  2 10:46:14 nms2 fort[14304]: ERR: Client socket read interrupted
Jul  2 10:46:14 nms2 fort[14304]: ERR: - Resource temporarily unavailable
Jul  2 10:46:14 nms2 fort[14304]: ERR: Error sending IPv6 Prefix PDU to 
client.

I reached out to the developers and they discovered a bug that appears 
to be FreeBSD-specific. They issued a pre-release fix that I tested 
yesterday, which resolves the problem. Details about it here:

https://github.com/NICMx/FORT-validator/commit/bfb99704ad5c0476f401be57ee2403652a0a8af4

They expect to have a full release of the updated code in a couple of 
weeks, but just in case anyone runs into this problem, this is what you 
can do to repair it for the time being.

This raises an interesting observation for me - how many people are 
running Fort on FreeBSD? Considering this bug's presence, it'd seem not 
a lot (fair point, I've only tested it on FreeBSD-13).

Mark.
