Re: pyzor: check failed: internal error (strace to the rescue)

[Steve Bergman <sb...@gmail.com>]

OK. So I replaced pyzor with a dash script to run it under strace and 
log the output to to a file. What it was complaining about was (drum 
roll, please) the permissions on /home/pyzor/servers. Which is odd, 
because I'm pretty sure I set that file to be world readable and world 
writable for testing purposes. But when I checked again it was owned by 
root with 600 permissions.

If we assume that I had a temporary brain aneurysm or mini-stroke or 
something when I thought I was doing that, it explains both why it 
wasn't working then, and why it wasn't working with aliases earlier, 
since aliases don't have home directories to even have servers files 
with permissions on them.

Or perhaps I didn't have a brain stroke, and those permissions changed. 
I'll be monitoring that. But at least I'm past the "it doesn't work and 
I have no idea why" stage. And that's very nice, indeed.
