Hi
I'm getting the following error message frequently in my syslog.log.Any help?

inetd[647]: rpc.rstatd/udp: Exit status 1
Thanks

Nevin,

Are you attempting to run rstatd, or possibly some other host is trying to rstat you? is this host on the internet or secured in your corporate lan?

Navin,

Sorry about spelling your name wrong on my last post. Do you have any kind of monitoring software on your server (the one with the rstatd message)? Is the message showing up all over the place, or only after a reboot?

You can always comment it out of /etc/services.

Do you have any mail for root on this server indicating something failed to run rstatd?

No,there is no mails for root stating rstatd
failure.And this message showing up in allover the place not at reboot.
Thanks.

Navin,

Go into /etc/inetd.conf and comment out rstatd or add the "-l /tmp/logfilename" option to it and watch what it's trying to do.

Hi Navin,

suggest give the patch PHNE_24909 a try if you have 11.0

you can also look at this thread,

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Is your portmapper running? Check that it is running, otherwise you will not be able to run rpc.statd properly.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi


This is normally expected behaiviour from things like NFS where the daemon is terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity to save resources.
