OSR 5.0.7 patched with MP 5
The syslog is flooded with messages:
The system should not have bootp running at all, I believe this bootp problem started as a result of someone's trying to configure the system and not having a good understanding of what he was doing.
What I did so far:
1 commented out bootps line in inetd.conf (it was last line)
so now the file has this:
restarted inetd:
The syslog still shows bootp messages added every couple of minutes. What could be done to stop it and make sure it won't re-start later?

This is definitely a post from a "UNIX Newbie" - we have a SCO Unix machine that houses our customer database. I have been getting reports that the system starts lagging intermittently, and have managed to determine that the cause of the slowdown is a process called MMDF.

On a sparc solaris 8 host running sunone webserver 6 I would like to limit the http requests that can be used when port 80 is accessed. We currently have http/1.0 enabled.
For example I would like to remove the http request DELETE.

I am running Solaris 9 and wanted the CDE stopped when my users login. Can this be done by adding something to the .profile? Basically when they login they should be at the command line and have to start the CDE themselves.

Hi,
What's the best way to turn on the auditing in AIX 4.3? I'm in an environment where root password are shared with many users.

For two straight days someone was running in.ftpd in my server (apparently looking to break in) and when I would do "top" almost every line would read "in.ftpd". I had a unix sysadmin friend of mine shut it down and then start it back up in a day and a half and all seems OK for now.
Here's what I... (1 Reply)
Hi Guys,
I have a database server where we run AIX 5.3 on a power5 box and we just turned on CIO (concurrent I/O) for the database filesystems. Now my assumption is that enabling CIO the database basically will bypass the filesystem cache releasing some extra memory that can be allocated... (1 Reply)

bootpd
bootpd(8) System Manager's Manual bootpd(8)Name
bootpd - Server to help boot diskless clients
Syntax
/usr/etc/bootpd [ -d ] [ -i ]
Description
The server is for the Internet BOOTP protocol (a UDP-based protocol). This allows a diskless machine to find out its Internet address, the
address of a bootserver, and the name of a file to boot.
The server is either started from or from If is started from the -i flag must be supplied by The server reads its configuration file, when
it starts up. When a new request arrives, checks to see if the file has been modified, and if so, reads it again.
If started by waits until no new requests arrive for one minute. This limits the overhead of restarting the daemon without tying up a
process slot when nothing is happening. The following is an example of the format of the configuration file:
#
# /etc/bootptab: database for bootp server (/usr/etc/bootpd)
#
# Blank lines and lines beginning with '#' are ignored.
#
# home directory
/usr/local/bootfiles
# default bootfile
defaultboot
# end of first section
%%
#
# The remainder of this file contains one line per client
# interface with the information shown by the table headings
# below. The host name is also tried as a suffix for the
# bootfile when searching the home directory (that is,
# bootfile.host)
#
# host htype haddr iaddr bootfile
#
hostx 1 02:60:8c:06:35:05 99.44.0.65 ultrix
hosty 1 02:07:01:00:30:02 99.44.0.65 vms
hostz 1 02:60:8c:00:77:78 99.44.0.03 lps40
node1 1 02:60:8c:00:99:47 99.44.0.01 tops20
The first two lines specify the home (default) directory and the default bootfile, respectively. A line starting with two percent signs
(%%) separates these first lines from the host information table, which contains an entry for each bootable host.
You should start with a configuration file similar to this and edit the host entries to correspond to your local systems. The host field
does not have to be a formal host name; it is used for identification in the log file and also as a possible extension to the bootfile
name.
The is always 1 and corresponds to the hardware type assigned Ethernet by the Assigned Numbers RFC. The field can use a period (.), a
hyphen (-), or a colon (:) as separators. The entry is the file used if the client does not know the name of the file it wants to boot.
This is frequently the case when a diskless workstation is booted.
The server logs interesting events using
Options-d Logs all requests and indicates what responses are made.
