Hi

The daemon is invoked via inetd.conf

Check for the following line

rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/dt/bin/rpc.cmsd 100068 2-5 rpc.cmsd

What are you unable to do ?

hi,

try this:
#/usr/dt/bin/rpc.cmsd
to be run in super-user mode, i.e. root

regards.

Hi,

more to add and check if the below are set:
-----------------
1) Make sure the inetd is running and the entry in inet.conf for rpc.cmsd is correct:
rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/dt/bin/rpc.cmsd 100068 2-5 rpc.cmsd

2) Check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file

3) Make sure the calendar file (/var/spool/calendar/callog.userid) exists and is owned by the user:

-r--rw---- 1 zcn daemon 700 Jun 7 1999 callog.zcn

3) Check permissions on the following files and directories:
/usr/dt/bin/dtspcd 555 bin bin

/usr/dt/bin/rpc.cmsd 555 bin bin

/var/spool/calendar 777 daemon daemon


4) Ensure that /var/adm/inetd.sec contains an entry:
cmsd allow *


5) Stop any running rpc.cmsd processes and restart
/usr/dt/bin/rpc.cmsd -d -s

-d Enables debugging output which will be written to stdout.

-s Runs rpc.cmsd in the foreground. This option should be used when rpc.cmsd is invoked manually for debugging purposes.


Then have the user try to open the calendar again. Error messages should be generated and sent to stdout.
