sockets with fd 0 unsupported

[andusvan]

If I start the chilli process without stdin/stdout/stderr (which are closed by the calling program before), the chilli daemon does not function correctly.
The first error you will see is "Failed to create redir listen", but it seems to be a global problem, that a (valid) socket with fd 0 is not supported.
(Not sure, if this problem does only occur, if the debug mode is activated).

I got the same problem, and I can't turn on the redir option. I noticed you were saying "If I start the chilli process without stdin/stdout/stderr (which are closed by the calling program before)", so is there an "unofficial" way to start the chilli? As I only use the stock /etc/init.d/chilli to start it, Anyway if you can point out a way to start chilli with redir option on It will be a great help for me. BTW, I have debug mode turns on, also I have full of the following messages in the log:

Hello!

A collegue solved this problem. I do not know, what he exactly did, but
I found the following patch. Maybe this helps...

• return _redir_close(socket.fd[0], socket.fd[1]);
• return 0; //_redir_close(socket.fd[0], socket.fd[1]);
  }

I saw the patch is based on 1.3.0, but I am having issue with the git version: 1.3.1, could you confirm the patch is applied to version 1.3.0? Thanks

The patch suggested seems to leak file descriptors, which wouldn't be good.
