RPC: Unable to receive

[harry lin]

Hi!

On a HP-UX 11.11 machine, I have two programs using RPC to talk to each other. When one program tries to make the RPC call with the program number to the local host machine, it fails due to RPC error [RPC: Unable to receive]. The same program works fine on a HP-UX 11.00. It appears that rpc services are up running OK. I even rebooted the machine. What might be the possible problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Harry Lin

Hi,

Have you reviewed your "shell allow|deny" statement in /var/adm/inetd.sec file?

For more info "man inetd.sec"

Also, pls verify in your /etc/inetd.conf the shell definition, must be looks like:
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/remshd remshd

If you need make any change in this file remember reload the inetd service daemon by:
#inetd -c

Rgds.
