SG and/or webmin on port 10000?

[Michael Roeder]

Hello,

i wonder what SG uses on port 10000:
In /etc/services:
console 10000/tcp # MC/System Environment console multiplexor

I won't get any connection, what does it stands for?
# telnet localhost 10000
Trying...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

No connection to 10000 with netstat ...
# netstat -a | grep 10000
# netstat -a | grep console
nothing ...

Webmin would normally be installed on port 10000:

# netstat -a | grep 10000
udp 0 0 *.10000 *.*
# netstat -a | grep console
tcp 0 0 *.console *.* LISTEN

And "webmin 10000" would usually be in services.

Well, it is recommended/a must to install webmin on another port? I didn't find any hints on SG or Webmin ...

Which SG programm would bind to port 10000 and how and when? (nothing found in inetd.conf and rc.config.d/*) SGMgr is installed, too.

I installed webmin on port 10000 and it works, but i can imagine that the port wouldn't be functional for two different programs ...

Thanks.

Serviceguard has nothing to do at all with the entry you describe.
This is (or was) for another product called HP MCSE or Multi Computer System Environment.

Unless you have this software, then you can simply remove or comment out htat entry in /etc/services.
