<tt><font size=2>> This week I needed to kill processes quite often.
It seems like <br>

<br><tt><font size=2>> [root@signer1 kasp]# ods-control start</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> Starting signer engine...</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> connecting to /var/run/opendnssec/engine.sock</font></tt>

<br><tt><font size=2>> By using ctrl-c this step gets skipped and the

<br><tt><font size=2>> I need to kill idle auditor threads which I saw

<br><tt><font size=2>> Mar 5 11:11:04 signer1 ods-signerd: Auditor
result: -15</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> Mar 5 11:11:04 signer1 ods-signerd: close
syslog</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> Mar 5 11:11:04 signer1 python: Connection

<br><tt><font size=2>> </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> After that I can start the engines successfully.
The problem is, the<br>

<br><tt><font size=2>> I am using yesterdays trunk checkout and partial
auditor.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Sounds like there is an issue with the partial auditor.
Is there anything in the logs?</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>I'm on holiday just now, but will be able to look
at this next week. In the mean time, try disabling the auditor...</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Thanks,</font></tt>
