Thanks to Sebastian Muniz for getting me on the right track here. I did not track down precisely why the error was occurring, but did come to realize that I shouldn't be running the bootps/udp service in the first place. It got started accidently. Under previous iterations of Solaris such things were started at run time when the inet process read the configuration file inetd.conf. Under Solaris 10, all such things are handled by smf. However, the inetd.conf file is left. If you need to add a service, you can put the correct parameters into the conf file (just like previous versions) and have them added to smf by executing inetconv. I had done this, and forgot to (or didn't realize I should) comment out all other lines. Thus, bootps/udp got started. I also finally tracked down my problem with the DigiTS unit. I was using smc to configure the serial ports. It seems smc does not always set the correct ownership rights on the ports when it configures them. I went back to using Celeste's fine tutorial on configuring ports, and got the rights set, and things are back to working. Thanks again to Sebastian. Original message follows. I'm trying to track down a problem I'm having with a Digi Terminal Server on a Solaris 10 x86 box. I had the unit working, then the program I'm using just started reporting that it couldn't find the port. Several conversations with Digi tech support resulted in me resetting the Digi unit, and things started working again. Then they stopped. Resetting didn't clear the problem. While looking around at logs I found a number of errors in the /var/adm/messages file. Googling around found at least one other person who had this same error, but I couldn't find any record of a solution or explanation. Don't know if this is related to my Digi problem, but thought I should try and clear it up. Any ideas on what this is? inetd[14348]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Failed to exec inetd_start method of instance svc:/network/bootps/udp:default: Invalid argument Bob White M/S NLV075 Office: 702-295-2939 Cell: 702-630-0352 Pager: 702-794-1809 Fax: 702-295-2934 whiterl@nv.doe.gov _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Oct 13 16:10:11 2009
