+ =head1 LOG MESSAGES
+ The messages below can be emitted in the lond log.  This log is located
+ in ~httpd/perl/logs/lond.log  Many log messages have HTML encapsulation
+ to provide coloring if examined from inside a web page. Some do not.
+ Where color is used, the colors are; Red for sometihhng to get excited
+ about and to follow up on. Yellow for something to keep an eye on to
+ be sure it does not get worse, Green,and Blue for informational items.
+ In the discussions below, sometimes reference is made to ~httpd
+ when describing file locations.  There isn't really an httpd
+ user, however there is an httpd directory that gets installed in the
+ place that user home directories go.  On linux, this is usually
+ (always?) /home/httpd.
+ Some messages are colorless.  These are usually (not always)
+ Green/Blue color level messages.
+ =over 2
+ =item (Red)  LocalConnection rejecting non local: <ip> ne 127.0.0.1
+ A local connection negotiation was attempted by
+ a host whose IP address was not 127.0.0.1.
+ The socket is closed and the child will exit.
+ lond has three ways to establish an encyrption
+ key with a client:
+ =over 2
+ =item local
+ The key is written and read from a file.
+ This is only valid for connections from localhost.
+ =item insecure
+ The key is generated by the server and
+ transmitted to the client.
+ =item  ssl (secure)
+ An ssl connection is negotiated with the client,
+ the key is generated by the server and sent to the
+ client across this ssl connection before the
+ ssl connectionis terminated and clear text
+ transmission resumes.
+ =back
+ =item (Red) LocalConnection: caller is insane! init = <init> and type = <type>
+ The client is local but has not sent an initialization
+ string that is the literal "init:local"  The connection
+ is closed and the child exits.
+ =item Red CRITICAL Can't get key file <error>
+ SSL key negotiation is being attempted but the call to
+ lonssl::KeyFile  failed.  This usually means that the
+ configuration file is not correctly defining or protecting
+ the directories/files lonCertificateDirectory or
+ lonnetPrivateKey
+ <error> is a string that describes the reason that
+ the key file could not be located.
+ =item (Red) CRITICAL  Can't get certificates <error>
+ SSL key negotiation failed because we were not able to retrives our certificate
+ or the CA's certificate in the call to lonssl::CertificateFile
+ <error> is the textual reason this failed.  Usual reasons:
+ =over 2
+ =item Apache config file for loncapa  incorrect:
+ one of the variables
+ lonCertificateDirectory, lonnetCertificateAuthority, or lonnetCertificate
+ undefined or incorrect
+ =item Permission error:
+ The directory pointed to by lonCertificateDirectory is not readable by lond
+ =item Permission error:
+ Files in the directory pointed to by lonCertificateDirectory are not readable by lond.
+ =item Installation error:
+ Either the certificate authority file or the certificate have not
+ been installed in lonCertificateDirectory.
+ =item (Red) CRITICAL SSL Socket promotion failed:  <err>
+ The promotion of the connection from plaintext to SSL failed
+ <err> is the reason for the failure.  There are two
+ system calls involved in the promotion (one of which failed),
+ a dup to produce
+ a second fd on the raw socket over which the encrypted data
+ will flow and IO::SOcket::SSL->new_from_fd which creates
+ the SSL connection on the duped fd.
+ =item (Blue)   WARNING client did not respond to challenge
+ This occurs on an insecure (non SSL) connection negotiation request.
+ lond generates some number from the time, the PID and sends it to
+ the client.  The client must respond by echoing this information back.
+ If the client does not do so, that's a violation of the challenge
+ protocols and the connection will be failed.
+ =item (Red) No manager table. Nobody can manage!!
+ lond has the concept of privileged hosts that
+ can perform remote management function such
+ as update the hosts.tab.   The manager hosts
+ are described in the
+ ~httpd/lonTabs/managers.tab file.
+ this message is logged if this file is missing.
+ =item (Green) Registering manager <dnsname> as <cluster_name> with <ipaddress>
+ Reports the successful parse and registration
+ of a specific manager.
+ =item Green existing host <clustername:dnsname>
+ The manager host is already defined in the hosts.tab
+ the information in that table, rather than the info in the

+ =item (Red) Unable to craete <filename>
+ lond has been asked to create new versions of an administrative
+ file (by a manager).  When this is done, the new file is created
+ in a temp file and then renamed into place so that there are always
+ usable administrative files, even if the update fails.  This failure
+ message means that the temp file could not be created.
+ The update is abandoned, and the old file is available for use.
+ =item (Green) CopyFile from <oldname> to <newname> failed
+ In an update of administrative files, the copy of the existing file to a
+ backup file failed.  The installation of the new file may still succeed,
+ but there will not be a back up file to rever to (this should probably
+ be yellow).
+ =item (Green) Pushfile: backed up <oldname> to <newname>
+ See above, the backup of the old administrative file succeeded.
+ =item (Red)  Pushfile: Unable to install <filename> <reason>

+ A lond child terminated.  NOte that this termination can also occur when the
+ child receives the QUIT or DIE signals.  <pid> is the process id of the child,
+ <hostname> the host lond is working for, and <message> the reason the child died
+ to the best of our ability to get it (I would guess that any numeric value
+ represents and errno value).  This is immediately followed by
+ =item  Famous last words: Catching exception - <log>
+ Where log is some recent information about the state of the child.
+ =item Red CRITICAL: TIME OUT <pid>
+ Some timeout occured for server <pid>.  THis is normally a timeout on an LWP

+ =item Unknown child 0 died
+ A child died but the wait for it returned a pid of zero which really should not
+ ever happen.
+ =item Child <which> - <pid> looks like we missed it's death
+ When a sigchild is received, the reaper process checks all children to see if they are
+ alive.  If children are dying quite quickly, the lack of signal queuing can mean
+ that a signal hearalds the death of more than one child.  If so this message indicates
+ which other one died. <which> is the ip of a dead child
+ =item Free socket: <shutdownretval>
+ The HUNTSMAN sub was called due to a SIGINT in a child process.  The socket is being shutdown.
+ for whatever reason, <shutdownretval> is printed but in fact shutdown() is not documented
+ to return anything. This is followed by:
+ =item Red CRITICAL: Shutting down
+ Just prior to exit.
+ =item Free socket: <shutdownretval>
+ The HUPSMAN sub was called due to a SIGHUP.  all children get killsed, and lond execs itself.

+ lond is about to exec itself to restart.
+ =item (Blue) Updating connections

+ Due to USR2 as above.
+ =item (Green) keeping child for ip <ip> (pid = <pid>)
+ In response to USR2 as above, the child indicated is not being restarted because
+ it's assumed that we'll always need a child for the localhost.
+ =item Going to check on the children
+ Parent is about to check on the health of the child processes.
+ Note that this is in response to a USR1 sent to the parent lond.
+ there may be one or more of the next two messages:
+ =item <pid> is dead
+ A child that we have in our child hash as alive has evidently died.
+ =item  Child <pid> did not respond
+ In the health check the child <pid> did not update/produce a pid_.txt
+ file when sent it's USR1 signal.  That process is killed with a 9 signal, as it's
+ assumed to be hung in some un-fixable way.
+ =item Finished checking children
+ Master processs's USR1 processing is cojmplete.
+ =item (Red) CRITICAL: ------- Starting ------
+ (There are more '-'s on either side).  Lond has forked itself off to

+ =item (Green) Attempting to start child (<client>)
+ Started a new child process for <client>.  Client is IO::Socket object
+ connected to the child.  This was as a result of a TCP/IP connection from a client.
+ =item Unable to determine who caller was, getpeername returned nothing
+ In child process initialization.  either getpeername returned undef or
+ a zero sized object was returned.  Processing continues, but in my opinion,
+ this should be cause for the child to exit.
+ =item Unable to determine clientip
+ In child process initialization.  The peer address from getpeername was not defined.
+ The client address is stored as "Unavailable" and processing continues.

+ The client has successfully negotiated an  insecure connection withthe child process.
+ =item (Yellow) Attempted insecure connection disallowed
+ The client attempted and failed to successfully negotiate a successful insecure
+ connection.  This can happen either because the variable londAllowInsecure is false
