bootps/udp: Died on signal 11

[Carme Torca]

Hi,

I have a lot of messages at the syslog.lg:


May 17 15:57:22 sapscs bootpd[25567]:
May 17 15:57:22 sapscs bootpd[25567]: reading "/etc/bootptab"
May 17 15:57:22 sapscs bootpd[25567]: read 3 entries from "/etc/bootptab"

May 17 15:57:39 sapscs inetd[1319]: bootps/udp: Died on signal 11

May 17 15:57:41 sapscs bootpd[25606]: read 0 entries from "/etc/dhcpdeny"

I have at the /etc/inetd.conf

bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/bootpd bootpd

but I need bootps.
Does anyone knows what could I do??, maybe some patch??

Thanks,
Carmen.

I ran a search to find out what kind of error signal 11 is, becuase I did not remember.

I didn't find the answer but I found a common thread. Signal 11 seems to come from the application or service crashing. Sometimes it involves a core dump.

The fix is generally a patch if its an OS daemon like this situation. I'd check the patch database for something specific to bootps or sapscs.

It could however involve an outside application and require a fix from them.

I still favor the hp patch, but I'm not sure which area. In general, you should have a quarterly patch release installed and perhaps its an inetd problem, may want to search the patch database for those fixes.

What do you have in /etc/bootptab?

Hi Carmen,

This is not serious.

But you should install PHNE_19241.

Best Regards,

And if you don't have PHNE_19241, I assume you have your system unpatched. Therefore you should consider to do a patch assessement to check your patching needs:

One last thing: PHNE_19241 is now superseded by PHNE_28828 for HP-UX 11.0...

Hi, this system has 11.11. I think this patch is for 11.0, doesn't it?

[Eric Antunes]

Hi Carmen,

I think it is for both since it is accessible via HP-UX 11.0 and 11.11 but go here, upload your .fs file and search it by Patch IDs:
