Something strange...
Hi all,
Thanks for any replies and for reading in advance.
We have upgraded one of our database instances to 10g on a Solaris 8 box, anyhow the other day it started trying to ping loads of weird IP addresses that we don't use, since our systems all run on pretty similar IP's. It all behind a firewall and all that stuff, but its only started doing it since we upgraded.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks again,
B14... aka.. Marky Mark...

ovdb_init
OVDB_INIT(8) InterNetNews Documentation OVDB_INIT(8)
NAME
ovdb_init - Prepare ovdb database for use
SYNOPSYS
ovdb_init ["-u"|"-r"]
DESCRIPTION
This command must be run before any other process can access the overview database. It performs the following steps:
1. Creates the database environment, if necessary
2. If the database is idle (and if the "-u" option is not specified), it performs a normal recovery. The recovery will remove stale
locks, recreate the memory pool cache, and repair any damage caused by a system crash or improper shutdown.
3. If the "-u" option is specified, it performs any necessary upgrades to the database. See the UPGRADING section below.
4. Starts the DB housekeeping processes (ovdb_monitor) if they're not already running. (Unless the "-r" option is specified).
5. Starts the ovdb readserver (ovdb_server) processes if readserver in ovdb.conf is true, and if they are not already running. (Unless
the "-r" option is specified).
Returns exit status of 0 if all steps were completed successfully. In the event of an error, messages are written to syslog and/or stderr.
If a recovery was attempted but it failed, the database may be damaged beyond repair, requiring a rebuild with makehistory(8).
This command is normally invoked automatically by rc.news(8).
It is OK to run this command multiple times.
OPTIONS
"-r"
Perform recovery only. "ovdb_monitor" is not started.
"-u"
Perform any needed upgrades. Recovery is not attempted. "ovdb_monitor" is started if the upgrade succeeded.
UPGRADING
There are two situations in which the database will need to be upgraded:
o You upgrade the Berkeley DB library to a newer version, for example from 2.7.7 to 3.1.17. In this case, the Berkeley DB db->upgrade()
method is used.
o You upgrade ovdb to a newer major version; i.e., ovdb-1.0 to ovdb-2.0.
In both of these cases, the database is upgraded in-place; and the upgrade can not be undone. Do not interrupt the upgrade process once it
has started, because there is a risk of irrepairable corruption. The upgrade may take several minutes to complete. If an upgrade does get
interrupted, try running the upgrade again.
Here's an example procedure to upgrade a database created with Berkeley DB 2.7.7 to use Berkeley DB 3.1.17:
1. Build and install the Berkeley DB 3.1.17;
2. Run configure in the INN source tree and make sure it picks up the right Berkeley DB directory (e.g., /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1);
3. Do a "make";
4. Shut down INN (e.g., with "rc.news stop") and be sure to kill all instances of nnrpd as well;
5. Do a "make update" to install the new binaries;
6. Run "ovdb_init -u" as the news user;
7. Start INN with "rc.news".
It is OK to specify "-u" even if no upgrades are needed.
