I wish to control some of my Linux boxes with Vantage Point for Windows. I run VPW 6.20 with the last patches on W2K, I have installed the Linux agent onto Linux as in the docs. (Linux version is SuSE 7.2). Problem: after starting the agent I see 8 opcctla processes, where normally one is enough. I see also 13 (thirteen) rpcd daemons.
The VPW server cannot communicate with the agent and comes with the funny error:
(PMD55) -- snip -- Error: (NT1722) The RPC server is unavailable.
Hi Eugen, well it's not so silly because the ito agent comes with its own dce-rpc daemom. Upon starting it outputs the message "starting pormapper:" (from the script) and starts OK. I took this as a replacement to portmap.
But you could be right as netstat -a shows me portmap bind with the sunrpc port when running, and does not show this with the ITO rpcd.
Does anybody reading this has opcagt running on SuSE7.2?
BTW, opcagt forks under linux (therefore the processes) instead of threading.
