Unable to start nettl

John Sisak — Tue, 23 Oct 2001 12:01:20 GMT

When I try to start Network tracing and logging, I receive the following message:

Initializing Network Tracing and Logging...
nettl : Failed to start console logging due to invalid console logging option file /var/adm/conslog.opts.
Console logging will be disabled. To correct the problem, enter the command
netfmt -pc /var/adm/conslog.opts
and check the output.

here is the result of
netfmt -pc /var/adm/conslog.opts

ERROR(S) in filter command file /var/adm/conslog.opts:

Year must be between 00 and 99 inclusive: 101
Line 3 : FORMATTER FILTER TIME_FROM 07:51:15.000000 10/23/101

I've searched patches but didn't find anything that seems to apply.

edit /var/adm/conslog.opts
and make LINE 3 read:

FORMATTER FILTER TIME_FROM 07:51:15.000000 10/23/2001

then try again

John,

It appears the conslog.opts entry has been corrupted somehow. The "101" should be "2001" since it represents the year.

Here's mine:
# cat /var/adm/conslog.opts
FORMATTER FILTER CLASS !*
FORMATTER FILTER CLASS DISASTER
FORMATTER FILTER TIME_FROM 13:51:35.000000 08/06/2001
Note the last line "wrapped" when I submitted to ITRC Forums.

Hope that helps,

-> Brian

Whoa!!! 10/23/101. Change 101 to 2001.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I had already tried changing it to 01 or 2001, but the file is getting created at every time I try to start nettl. That's why I suspected that a patch would help. It's almost like a Y2K error.
