Failed to set ndd tunable parameters

[Michael Palmgren]

Hi! I get this message in my rc.log

Configure LAN interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S340net start":

for a list of valid names, use name '?'

Shalom,

Take the parameter its complaining about out and try again.

I've always just used the ndd command myself, have not had the need to set up a configuration file.

I think some of your values are a problem as well

TRANSPORT_NAME[10]=tcp
NDD_NAME[10]=tcp_fin_wait_2_timeout
NDD_VALUE[10]=4000

The default is 60, why are you raising it so high? This can cause problems when a disconnect is needed sooner.

i suggest to run the script in debugging mode

[Bill Hassell]

Run ndd -c to debug your configuration file in /etc/rc.config.d

In your case, the [6] value does not exist. If you run:

mdd -get /dev/tcp ? | grep rexmit

you will see no value "tcp_rexmit_int" so the message is self-explanatory. The output of the above command is:

ndd -get /dev/tcp ? |grep rex
tcp_rexmit_interval_initial (read and write)
tcp_rexmit_interval_max (read and write)
tcp_rexmit_interval_min (read and write)
tcp_rexmit_interval_initial_lnp(read and write)

Hi!

I have done the changes you suggest
and every thing works fine.

Thank you
