configd failure to start

[nfugal]

I've poked around and not found anyone with the same problem.

If the answer is already here, please let me know.

I am running version 18.7.1_3 (freshly installed, not an upgrade). I can't get configd to start. I get the following error message:

nfugal@bifrost:~ % service configd status
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/configd: WARNING: cannot read shebang line from /usr/local/opnsense/service/configd.py
configd is not running.

Starting via the WebUI doesn't work either.

I'm happy to post logs or share whatever other info is helpful.

Thanks!

/var/log/configd.log please

Here you go. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1suzyvQQZWc47TOVBfbut2uw-5zdZ0ds-

I'm not sure what is going on with the end of the file.

I see that there are a lot of messages regarding NUT in here. I'll try disabling that to see if it makes a difference.

At the very least it should help the log be easier to parse.

I just noticed that that log file doesn't have anything very recent in it.

I tried clearing it to see if the wonkiness at the end was stopping it from updating, and it has stayed blank thus far.

Some poking around with a coworker points to a permissions issue.

The permissions were

-rwx------  1 root  wheel   6.6K Aug 29 20:51 /usr/local/opnsense/service/configd.py

After adding permissions for group as well the service can start.

Not sure how/why the permissions would have changed.

Permissions are ok, do you now see something in the logs?

You have to "clog /var/log/configd.log" .. no cat or tail or whatever ...

Here is the output of clog on configd.log:

root@bifrost:/home/nfugal # clog /var/log/configd.log
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


If I check the file with nano or vi, it appears empty.  ls also reports the file as 0 bytes:

root@bifrost:/home/nfugal # ls -alh /var/log/
