autofs and svc_tli_create

[Jack Marshall]

This is specific to autofs, reverting back to automount invariably corrupts the mount points.

They get generated when I run automountd -T, and nothing is logged in automount.log.

Getting these errors:
Feb 7 11:21:41 ldev003 automountd[19034]: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address: no error specified
Feb 7 11:21:41 ldev003 automountd[19034]: svc_create: svc_tli_create failed
Feb 7 11:21:41 ldev003 automountd[19034]: unable to create service


MAPS (everything else is NIS based):
ldev003:root# more /etc/auto_master
/users /etc/auto_users

This behaviour is normal. The /dev/tl* devices are used to provide a
secure transport between client and server RPC processes on the local system. rpcbind checks to see if the bind request from a process came over these devices. If not the request is denied since we only want processes registering with rpcbind that are running on this system.
tlclts - is a connectionless transport similar to UDP which
maps to ticlts.
tlcots - is a connection orient transport similar to TCP which
maps to ticlots
tlcosord - is a connection oriented transport with orderly
delivery which maps to ticotsord.
The messages you are seeing are normal on HPUX 11.0 they are eliminated after changes to the loopback transport included in these patches:
s700_800 11.00 ONC cumulative patch
s700_800 11.00 libc cumulative patch
s700_800 11.0 AutoFS support patch
s700_800 11.00 bdf(1M) patch to skip
