Hi,
I'm evaluating the Knot DNS server as a DNSSEC signer engine. I'm
currently running version 3.2.6 together with SoftHSM version 2.6.1 on
an Ubuntu 20.04 linux server.
Now I have a problem with keymgr crashing with a segmentation fault
and dumping core. This happens with some of the commands of keymgr,
but not all (the command keymgr -l runs fine). The commands 'keymgr
trondheim.no list' produces the correct output, but then crashes.
/var/log/apport.log indicates that a dbus session is missing in the
environment:
ERROR: apport (pid 811054) Tue Jun 13 07:56:00 2023: called for pid
811052, signal 11, core limit 0, dump mode 2

Running the command as 'dbus-run-session keymgr trondheim.no list' gives:
ERROR: apport (pid 811174) Tue Jun 13 08:01:04 2023: called for pid
811173, signal 11, core limit 0, dump mode 2

I've tried to run the command as root and as the knot user, and I have
to admit that I'm not very familiar with how to manage dbus sessions.
I want to run the keymgr command from cron or from some other system
shell, for periodically monitoring the keys. However, I'm unsure why
keymgr wants to communicate on the dbus. Is it possible to disable this?

Erik Østlyngen
