telnetd error terminating child process: error 1: Not owner in syslog.log

[James Martens]

Hey.

I am receiving multiple errors (see the subject line) in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log. They started appearing after we had to zero out the utmp/utmpx file (got the dreaded utmp corruption) so users could log in again via telnet.

People can log in and work, but syslog.log is filling up with these errors. Any suggestions?

PS: On HP/UX 11.00, is portmapper still a daemon? Or did they replace it with rpcbind? Rpcbind, after all, writes to /tmp/portmap.file, and if you do a 'man portmap' it comes up with the rpcbind man page..cute...:)

Hi James,

I try to answer your PS.

The portmapper is now called rpcbind.
11.0 pulls the man page for rpcbind up when typing man portmap so that users who are used to portmap get their information.

The functionality is basically the same.
