Comment 0 for bug 1269053

Something has changed in Ubuntu's Kernel 3.5.0-45 32 & 64-bit Intel, has prevented IBM Domino's "/opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest/linux/bindsock" binary that runs as root (setuid) to get ports lower than 1024 for it's LDAP, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and HTTP processes. The IBM Domino Application Server's parent process "/opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest/linux/server" runs as a Service Account or a normal non-admin user, that launches "bindsock"and others like "http", "ldap"....

In the Live Domino Console we're seeing the Application Server report:
  "Listener failure: 'bindsock' is missing, not executable, not owned by root, not setuid root or user needs net_privaddr privilege."

Another thing in the Live Domino Console, which is unusual is:
  "Error_CmdToDo_INVAL"... might be an IBM thang.

A number of us have to hold back the kernel now and there's lots of scratching going on.

It does seem to be limited to IBM Domino's "bindsock" binary and other things are just fine, such as Nginx.

I have attached some files within the zip "ibm-domino-bindsock_strace.zip"
>>bindsock_binary_strace.txt
This is just running strace against the binary that isn't running in any process.

>> domino-server-pid1052_strace-f.txt
The IBM Domino Application Server ("/opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest/linux/server") is running as PID 1052 so this is what I applied "strace -f" to and towards the end, I told "server" to start the "http" process ("l http") which would then try launch "bindsock" (I hope).

Hopeully this first attempt at strace provides some good info for you kind folks :-)

Many thanks
