Server not booting

Anubhav Dhingra — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:05:03 GMT

Hi,

We have rx6600, running 11.23. System was fine until we tried to configre it as ntp client.
now system is not booting. it is getting with error message
/sbin/rc[75]: ntp.bot.go.tz: is not an identifier
rebooted the server in single user mode, and removed the entries

/etc/ntp.conf
server 192.168.6.138 minpoll 6 prefer
server ntp.bot.go.tz version 3 prefer
/etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons
export NTPDATE_SERVER="ntp.bot.go.tz"
export XNTPD=1
export XNTPD_ARGS=

server is still not booting...

Hi,
remove also soft links in:
/sbin/rc1.d
like K340xntpd
and in
/sbin/rc2.d
like S660xntpd
which are starting and shuting down xntp

Regards,
Borislav

Hi

Did you ever try to restart ntp before reboot:

ps -ef | grep -i xntpd
kill
/usr/sbin/xntpd

>/sbin/rc[75]: ntp.bot.go.tz: is not an identifier

This typically occurs if you have left a junk file in /etc/rc.config.d/ where /etc/rc.config will source it.

Dennis was right, there was a junk file in /etc/rc.config.d/
