RE: {bb} won't start on debian 3.1

["Gene Beaird" <bgbeaird@sbcglobal.net>]

Are you running any sort of firewall on the machine?  While I didn't have
that specific problem on a FDC box I set up, I did have similar experience
trying to start and run the Backup Exec remote agent on the machine with the
built-in firewall running.  Try to start it, the script says 'starting', but
nothing shows up in the process list, and I don't remember seeing any error
messages in the message logs.  Turned off the firewall (the machine is
inside a company network), and the RALUS just ran.

Subject: {bb} won't start on debian 3.1

Hey guys -

I've done my best reading the readmes and browsing the archives - but I 
haven't found my problem anywhere. 

I'm running debian 3.1 linux with a 2.6 kernel - I followed the 
installation instructions very closely (very similar to most src 
packages) and everything looks okay to me.  The only warning I get when 
i run the chk scripts are about numeric paging notifications which I am 
not using.  The problem comes when I go to start big brother.  As the bb 
user I:

bb:~/bb1.9i-btf$ ./runbb.sh
Starting Big Brother
Big Brother 1.9i started
bb:~/bb1.9i-btf$

however the daemon never starts.  There is no process running and the 
bb2.html page is never created.  The only thing in the BBOUT file is::

bb:~/bb1.9i-btf$ cat BBOUT
Thu May 11 12:54:20 CEST 2006: Starting Big Brother...
Big Brother 1.9i started
bb:~/bb1.9i-btf$

I received no errors at compile time and everything else such as the 
webpage and the cgi-bin scripts work.  Is there a way I can force big 
brother to log why the daemon is dying, or is this a known problem(i 
didn't see it in any of the mailling list archives)?   Any help would be 
greatly appreciated as I am stuck on this. 

Thanks

-Chris
