Dear All,

I'm trying to manually start smsd tool to play around on its use, but after configuring smsd.conf when I run from console : smsd -s it dies after a while getting the following log messages

Log results:
smsd: Smsd v3.1.14 started.
smsd: Running as root:wheel.
smsd: Running startup_check (shell): /var/spool/sms/incoming/smsd_script.tIEkxS /tmp/smsd_data.k5LsAS
smsd: Done: startup_check (shell), execution time 0 sec., status: 0 (0)
smsd: File mode creation mask: 022 (0644, rw-r--r--).
smsd: Running in terminal mode.
smsd: Cannot reserve memory for statistics.



I tried to search something on this error but I have not found any topic regarding this kind of problem. Can you help me ? I don't know what can I check to understand from where comes this error.

Thank you

Hello All,

Any body can help me? What I can ckeck to understand the reason of this problem?
Could be it due to the hardware? May be I'm using an unsupported GSM modem or is it only a software depending?

Thank you

At this point it is not a hardware problem for sure. This message is a result of failed memory allocation. As far as I can see the FreeBSD port builds smsd with statistics support enabled by default. It this case smsd uses libmm memory allocation function that I don't know too much about and have no idea why it can fail.

So as a first step I would suggest to build smsd without statistics support. In this case smsd will use plain old malloc().
