can't read /etc/sfd.pid: No such device or address.

>Then use vi or even touch to create an empty file. Then make sure it has the right permissions/owners.

If the sfd daemon doesn't run then you don't even need to thouch the pid file. It will be created next time the daemon starts.

Issue resolved..Thank You all..

Let me just tell you what was done, so that my b

1. removed the /etc/sfd.pid file since my server showed if as a character file(which should be ascii having a numerical value)

I used the 'rm -f' command.
Dennis, 'rmsf' didnt work -- "there is no such file or device"

2. then, touch sfd.pid
3. To check the value, cat sfd.pid
5470 was the o/p
4. chmod 600 sfd.pid ; then
ll sfd.pid :
-rw------- 1 root root5 Mar 23 15:49 sfd.pid

And Viktor, I didnt want to wait..the message was so 'touched' the file..

Thank you all, especially Viktor...
