[WARNING]SATAN can crash Online!
I ran SATAN on my UNIX server that has Informix ONLINE 7.1 on it. I had it
do a heavy scan and it crashed Online with the following error message:
^^^^^^^
---online.log---
11:34:24 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds.
11:34:36 Assert Failed: Internal Error - Segmentation Violation
11:34:36 Who: Thread(12, soctcplst, 0, 1)
11:34:36 Results: OnLine must abort
11:34:36 Action: Reinitialize shared memory
11:34:36 See Also: , shmem.32eca6.0
11:34:49 rsdebug.c, line 3557, thread 12, proc id 586, Segmentation Violation.
11:34:49 PANIC: Attempting to bring system down
----------------
Of course this problem will only occur if you have a TCP entry in your
sqlhosts file with something like the following:
---sqlhosts---
hostname onsoctcp hostname online
--------------
Just thought you all ought to know :-) I think this is something we should
all be extremely worried about!
