Systems hangs on swagend start

[Thorsten Erdmann]

Hi,

my systems hangs on startup at the message "configuring all unconfigured software components". It seems that this is the swagend's startup script in /sbin/rc2.d.

It also seems that swagend needs networking, so maybe some network settings are wrong.

I checked /etc/hosts, there is the loopback adapter and my own hostname with and without DNS domain.

nsswitch.conf contains only "files", if I add DNS it is overwritten at startup!?

There are no messages in the system's log.

If I disable swagend the system starts until rpcd. To that time the network is up and I can access the system via telnet.

Any idea what happens there?

Thanks
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,

Could you post your HPUX version?

- check the /etc/rc.config.d directory for backup files. (netconf.old etc).
- check the hostname in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.
- post the output of "what /usr/bin/nslookup"
- is this system recently patched?

Regards,
Robert-Jan

# uname -a
HP-UX unknown B.11.23 U 9000/800 3697136779 unlimited-user license

There are no backup files in /etc/rc.config.d

The hostname line in netconf looks like this:
HOSTNAME="myhostname"

What /usr/bin/nslookup gives:
# what /usr/bin/nslookup
/usr/bin/nslookup:

No recent patches yet. It is "freshly" installed a year ago or so.

Thanks

Hostname unknown, or did you change this?

# uname -S your_hostname

You are right?
But this is because I am in singleuser mode.
If I go to init 2 (with deactivated swagend), the hostname is set correctly.

check /etc/rc.log and /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log files for the errors.

I checked rc.log already, no error messages there. The last entry in rc.log is:

Configuring all unconfigured software filesets
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S120swconfig start":
----------------------------
* Turning off all network based resolving services in
'/etc/nsswitch.conf'

The /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log has no actual error entries.
