Hey all,

When I want to add a new user, the system starts to hang. When I do a ps aux, I get alot of processes like this:

I'm running Debian Sarge 3.1 release 5 which I recently reinstalled due to a server crash. Also, I created a user with a name I'm sure of that doesn't exist on the system yet, but DA tells me it DOES exist, after that the system hangs or I get a "fork" message like this:

Code: 
bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

Would anyone happen to know a sollution for this problem?

Thanks and regards,

Jeroen.

Hi and thanks for the reply, here's the code:

Code: 
#!/bin/sh
for i in `ls /usr/local/directadmin/data/users`; do
{
  username=$i spam=ON /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/user_create_post.sh
};
done;
exit 0;

Regards, Jeroen.
 
username=$i spam=ON /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/user_create_post.sh

I am not a very good shell scripter but it looks like that line is a loop. Looks like it is going to continually run itself.
 
Hi there,

Please have a look at this link: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=117

Here DA says that when you create a new user that Spam Assassin is automatically enabled when you've put that code in that file. Still it might still be faulty tho.

Regards, Jeroen.

Edit: Argh!! I think I misunderstood what it all said there, I'll post back when it works.
 
Oke I fixed it, I totally misunderstood the help page I was talking about before.

Thanks! :)

Regards, Jeroen.

This is not in the user_create_post.sh script. It is run separately one time to enable existing users.
