ftpd error on signal 14

[Jose Garcia Gavilan]

HPUX 11, N4000;
Getting "ftpd exiting on signal 14" error. After talking with HP, they asked me to change:


1. vi /etc/inetd.conf

Change: auth stream tcp wait bin /usr/lbin/identd identd
To: auth stream tcp nowait bin /usr/lbin/identd identd

2. Install the following patches:

[PHNE_21217/PACHRDME/English] lan
[PHNE_17027/PACHRDME/English] inetd
[PHNE_20714/PACHRDME/English] ftpd(1M) and ftp(1) patch
[PHNE_21767/PACHRDME/English] XPORT:ARPA:Transport:

I have even commented out of /etc/services the service auth (in HP-UX 11 it?s called ident) and patches are up to date, but the error keeps going on syslog (one about 3 seconds).

They told me it wasn?t important, but i would like to know what does it mean, because i think i?m getting poor network performance.

Any idea or solution?

Thank you very much for your help.

Have you run inetd -c to re-read the inetd.conf file ?
