  • domino can't bind port 25

    Posted on

    hy community,

    i have a problem was not releasable by ibm domino support.
    lately i have installed a rhel 7.3 64bit on a hp proliant 8core computer.
    on this machine are installed and running a domino server 9.0.1FP7 64bit mail server.
    in principle works this domino server fine ( ip and notesprotokoll are running ok - replicate with other main-dominoserver are ok ).
    now i have the problem that i can not activate or bind the port 25 and port 80 ( smtp and http ) on
    this machine.
    • all mailservices (postfix and sendmail ) on rhel are deinstalled (also firewalld).
    only local mail service are running:
    [root@linlotus ~]# mail
    Heirloom Mail version 12.5 7/5/10. Type ? for help.
    "/var/spool/mail/root": 2 messages 2 unread

    ports normaly free:
    [root@linlotus ~]# lsof -i:25
    [root@linlotus ~]# lsof -i:80


    domino write following error in log:

    ERROR: bindsock
    2016.12.28 10:43:40 ERROR: bindsock' helper application is missing, not executable, not setuid root, or no sticky bit set
    2016.12.28 10:43:40 SMTP Server: Listener failure: 'bindsock' is missing, not executable, not owned by root, not setuid root or user needs net_privaddr privilege.
    2016.12.28 10:43:40 Suspending listen task for 20 seconds due to network errors

    Unable to bind to port Port = 25 errno = 13 "Permission denied"

    dominoserver was installed as root (default) and running as user domino (not root). this ist the prefers install method.
    bindsock fileperms on the machine: ( bindsock with acl 4555 and -rwsrwxrwx. 1) not work !

    [root@linlotus ~]# find / -name bindsock
    /opt/lotus/notes/90010/linux/901FP7/bindsock
    /opt/lotus/notes/90010/linux/90010/bindsock
    /opt/lotus/notes/90010/linux/bindsock
    [root@linlotus ~]# ls -l /opt/lotus/notes/90010/linux/901FP7/bindsock
    -rwsrwxrwx. 1 root bin 14832 15. Okt 2013 /opt/lotus/notes/90010/linux/901FP7/bindsock
    [root@linlotus ~]# ls -l /opt/lotus/notes/90010/linux/90010/bindsock
    -rwsrwxrwx. 1 root bin 14832 15. Okt 2013 /opt/lotus/notes/90010/linux/90010/bindsock
    [root@linlotus ~]# ls -l /opt/lotus/notes/90010/linux/bindsock
    -rwsrwxrwx. 1 root bin 14832 18. Aug 16:42 /opt/lotus/notes/90010/linux/bindsock
