Hello,

I just installed Pound 1.9 on a 32bit SuSE Enterprise 9 box.  

I run two instances, one for port 80 and one for SSL on 443.

I have pound watch the session through a cookie and direct traffic to 
the appropriate server.

I had a problem with the "exited normally 127" error, and the SSL/443 
instance wouldn't stay running.

I searched the archive for help, and found references to removing the 
rootjail. 

This seems to have worked, my pound instances are running, and keeping 
the session cookie straight.

But... I still have these exited "normally 127 errors" constantly in the 
log, every few minutes.

Should I be concerned about this message?  I really don't know what the 
message indicates that I should do.

I also found references to the compiler not picking up a kerebos? 
package.  I installed the default system and the openssl dev package.  
Is there another piece needed for compiling pound?

If you got an "exited normally" message the server should be restarted
automatically - the next message should indicate "WORKER restarted".

I have absolutely no idea what a root jail may have to do with keeping
sessions. The problem with the root jail is that OpenSSL requires access
to the /dev/random device and in some implementations access to /dev/log
is needed (if you use the syslog for messages). That cannot affect the
session keeping in any way.

There is no exit(-1) in Pound.

Kerberos is required in some installations. However if you compiled
Pound without errors that is not your case.

I suggest you look at your limits, especially if you run Pound as
non-root.[...]

I run Pound as root on a dedicated machine.

here are my limits

See anything that might be a problem.
