Solaris

Hello All

On one of our production servers we have two instances of inetd as shown below. Also we have noticed vtsk (SunVTS diagnostics) running on the server

$ ps -ef | grep inetd
root 1263 1 0 Nov 28 ? 0:11 /usr/sbin/inetd -s
root 14286 1 0 Nov 28 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/inetd -s -t
user123 12011 5206 0 08:55:21 pts/39 0:00 grep inetd


$ ptree 14286
14286 /usr/sbin/inetd -s -t
22860 /opt/SUNWvts/bin/sunvts -g
22861 ./vtsk
22893 dc -

From vtsk(1M) (Solaris Reference Manual for SMCC-Specific Software) - Sun Microsystems

It is mentioned that “Normally, vtsk is automatically started up by the sunvts (1M) command if it is not already running. vtsk will also be invoked by inetd (1M) when there is a connection request from vtsui or vtsui.ol.” On this particular server we have vtsk process running from 29th Nov

ps -ef | grep vtsk
root 22861 22860 0 Nov 29 ? 0:49 ./vtsk
rcheru 16022 5206 0 09:05:01 pts/39 0:00 grep vtsk

I just want to know what to do with these alerts getting generated. I am not sure how far we need the SunVTS to be running on this server. I checked on the net and the two instances of inetd running on this server are generating the alerts as per the following link

bind: Address already in use messages ? - LinuxQuestions.org

As per SunVTS official document it starts one inetd process once it is initialized. So now on this server we have SunVTS running, two inetd processes running (By Solaris and SunVTS) and the following alerts because of two inetd processes. Please let me know the solution to stop these alerts with out stopping SunVTS

Nov 28 19:07:11 sbtorsvr481 inetd[7848]: [ID 161378 daemon.error] ftp/tcp: bind: Address already in use

Thanks

Your help is much appreciated

check out the syslog.conf file. anyway its a prod box, so how do you think you want to stop the inetsvc daemon?

syslogd — the system daemon used to receive and route system log events from syslog() calls and logger commands

/etc/syslog.conf — the configuration file used to control the logging and routing of system log events

# /etc/init.d/inetsvc stop
after vts complete,
# /etc/init.d/inetsvc start
can???
