hi everyone,
I found the following message when examining syslog.log:
/usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver[...]: rpc.ttdbserverd version(1.1) does not match the version() of the database tables...
I?d like to know how serious it can be,and perhaps, which aplication is causing it.
thanks for your help

Hi David:

This is benign but annoying. See Knowledge Base Document #BHERRKBRC00002437.

Hi David,


Here is the doc BHERRKBRC00002437

rpc.ttdbserver does not match the version DocId: BHERRK

PROBLEM
Starting a CDE session produces the following message in the syslog.log:
Apr 28 05:40:58 hp2 /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver[1506]: rpc.ttdbserverd
version (1.1) does not match the version () of the database tables. Please
install an rpc.ttdbserverd version (or greater)
RESOLUTION
ToolTalk is a Sun product for network data interchange. More recently
(1992), several companies formed a consortium to develop what has become CDE,
or the Common Desktop Environment, which uses ToolTalk. The ToolTalk defined
and used for the CDE standard; however, is incompatible with versions of
ToolTalk older than 1.0. This includes the version shipped with SunOS 4.1.3.
Both Solaris 2.6 and HP-UX 10.20 support CDE and, hence, this newer
version of ToolTalk (1.1). Unfortunately, ToolTalk is NFS-aware (NFS
is another Sun product and the two try to work together) and the
incompatibilities between the two versions adversely effect the
operation of NFS.

It can be disabled by removing or commenting out the entry for
rpc.ttdbserver in /etc/inetd.conf, then restarting inetd (inetd -c on
an HP-UX machine). You need to Kill rpc.ttdbserver then remove files in
*/TT_DB/*(i.e., /home/TT_DB/*, /usr/TT_DB/* )

Have all users log out of CDE. Login (command line) as root and follow
these steps.

1) Stop the tooltalk daemon.

#ps -ef | grep ttdb > kill the PID of this process

2) Edit /etc/inetd.conf, and comment out the line for rpc.ttdbserver.
There will only be one line that contains a reference to
rpc.ttdbserver; simply insert a '#' before the line, and save the
/etc/inetd.conf file.
So the line in /etc/inetd.conf would look something like:
# rpc stream tcp swait root /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver 100083 1 /usr/dt/bin/rpc.tt dbserver

3) Delete all ToolTalk Databases on the system (on the local file
systems).

4) Restart the inetd daemon. #inetd -c

/End/

-HTH
