bootpd: ioctl: Invalid argument

Rainer von Bongartz — Fri, 03 Aug 2001 11:45:23 GMT

I'm running bootp on my 11.0 box and keep, getting the following errors

Aug 3 14:38:49 venus bootpd[29015]: bootpd 2.4 #1.17.112.7: Wed Apr 14 05:09:15 GMT 1999
Aug 3 14:38:49 venus bootpd[29015]: ioctl: Invalid argument
Aug 3 14:38:50 venus inetd[884]: bootps/udp: Exit status 1

first I thought it might be a corrupt bootptab file, but running this bootptab on another server produces no errors.

Any Ideas ??

If you have many network interfaces it is likely that this is fixed in the latest bootpd patch PHNE_19241.

JAGab37715 / SR#8606138062:
bootpd and bootpquery does not start if a host has more than 10 network interfaces.

Carsten,

I don't have as much as ten interface cards (got three) but I installed PHNE_19241 and the problem seems to be solved

Thanks
Rainer
