Error pid mismatch or missing, causing lfd to stop
Posted: 07 Mar 2021, 16:31
Hi there. Lately I was getting a lot of errors like
This error is caused by trying to block some IP address, which triggered csf of lfd rule few times in a row. After that csf is disabled, but it was reenabled by cron job, which monitors services state
This is from lfd.pl (including line 1160, where an error is triggered)
After rebooting container, I can't enable csf at all, I get the same error, here's lfd.log
faulty line 8197 in /usr/sbin/lfd
It all started after csf automatically updated to v14.09 from v14.08 (I've got email, notifying about files have been changed /usr/sbin/csf and /sbin/csf)
Can someone help?
