Re: fatal poll error

...

So, to me the permissions look okay...

They look ok to me too. The poll(7d) man page says the following about EACCESS:

 EACCES
       A process does not have permission to access the  con-
       tent cached in /dev/poll.

I have no idea why you get it.

Have you changed uid or gid since the pike process started?

Not that I know of. The only unusual thing(s) I can think if is that I'm running as a non-root user, and have used fork() to put the process in the background.

Probably not. It just means that you have to compile with --without-devpoll.

Hmm... will try to figure out what's going on, first, before I result to recompiling.
