syslog: hacl-cfg/udp connection from unknown

[Sven Bergmann]

hi,

i've enable inetd-logging in /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons. on a fresh installed system now i see every couple of minutes the message "hacl-cfg/udp: connection from unknown (192.168.1.19)".

the ip 192.168.1.19 is a cluster-node, but only one of many others. why is 1.19 "braodcasting" my network with hacl-messages?

any idea?

hacl-cfg/udp matches to 'cmclconfd -p" in /etc/inetd.conf.

cmclconfd -p activates when a Serviceguard command is performed, and remains active for 30 seconds before terminating. It will not terminate if another SG command is performed within that 30 seconds.

One example that can generate the messages you are seeing:
If 192.168.1.19 is not registered in /etc/hosts or DNS but someone or something runs cmquerycl on that node occasionally, it will probe all other Serviceguard nodes on the same network to report any clusters that exist, and which nodes are members of those clusters.

What sort of software do you suppose needs to query the status of any cluster member every so often, and do you have such software installed on a system?
