Wierd messages at boot

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

GOT IT ! Exectly the same messages.

def/sys/exec tcpip$lpd_symb_debug 15

Restart tcpip and you get the messages.
May be the logical is removed after the usage ?

7.3.1 release notes
TCPIP$LPD_DEBUG
LPD_DEBUG

Replaced by TCPIP$LPD_SYMB_DEBUG.

It was from 5.3 upwards.

So it's just debug messages?
Then i'll try to figure out what file is setting that logical since apperantly it will be set somewhere.

NODE1>sea dsa0:[*...]*.com "lpd_symb","lpd_debug"
%SEARCH-I-NOMATCHES, no strings matched

Seems somewhat elusive thou.

Which tcp version ?
Boots can be modified and can use ANY file for containing the command. Try *.*/excl=(*.exe,*.olb).

And of course one can do @ of something on another disk (we do).

The debugoptions for LPD have changed from logicals to options in TCPIP$LPD_ROOT:[000000]TCPIP$LPD.CONF in later versions of TCPIP.

We're TCPIP V5.4-15 on OpenVMS 7.3-2 (we don't dare upgrade these machines :P).

Anyway, cannot find a tcpip$lpd.conf and searching throu all the files with excl=(*.exe,*.olb) did not yield any results.

I'm very certain that there are no boot files on other disks.

Can this be some default setting or something you can disable in the printcap file?

[Hakan Zanderau ( Anders]

The Printcap-file just holds information about the queues. Nothing for the configuration of LPD.

What happens if you start LPD manually after boot ? Add an EXIT at the top of the LPD-startupfile.

Hmmmm..... does LPD work as expected ?

Hakan

[Fredrik.eriksson]

I have tried to restart LPD on our test cluster (which also have these messages) without getting any of the messages I get from the boot.

I would try a real reboot, but sadly this is not possible since the developers needs them online.

LPD is working as expected yes.

[Hakan Zanderau ( Anders]

Does your printcap-file look OK ?

Is there a queue called TCPIP$LPD_QUEUE ?

It's the queue where incoming LPD-jobs are placed by the LPDservice and processed before printcap is red for a target-queue.

In later versions the incomming queue is a generic queue called TCPIP$LPD_IN

In my vcersion stopping TCP didn't stop LPD symbionts. I had to stop/id. I think it(s a pure cliuent that hopes that TCP wil work again when the next reauest comes in.
