[Steve Bear_1]

Hi,

Getting these error messages in syslog.

Sep 4 08:36:37 srv1 vmunix: tunioctl(0): Unknown ioctl 0x800c4416, count 12

Sep 4 08:36:37 srv1 vmunix: tunioctl(0): Unknown ioctl 0x80144415, count 0

Any idea what could be the reason?

Thanks,

Look at patch PHNE_28538 if 11.0 or PHNE_28895 if 11.11.

Hi,
i did a little reasearch for this message.

"This code is part of IP Tunneling which is normally used by PPP
(Point-To-Point-Protocol)."

Looks like this caused by someone turning on PPP by mistake.

Have you recently configured a modem on that server ?

Hi,

( SR number: 8606152595 ; Defect: JAGad21925 )The following type of message fills up too much space in the syslog file. vmunix: tunioctl(0): Unknown ioctl

Hope it helps,

Applying patch PHNE_28538 (HP-UX 11.00) may resolve the issue:

[Mark Grant]

Odd,

This seems to be some BSD ppp networking code making a system call that isn't supported on HP-UX, or at least on your version of it. Have you installed some software recently that could b the culprit here?

[Steve Bear_1]

yes, we have recently configured an external modem. These messages get written to syslog whenever external connection establised through modem.


Do you suggest patch resolve this issue?

Thanks,

[Mark Grant]

See several of the replies above showing exactly the patch to apply.

[Massimo Bianchi]

Generally speaking: yes.

Does the modem works ?

[Steve Bear_1]

Yes Massimo , it works without any trouble.
