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.
Can sudoers member be audited properly?

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 - Internet Boot Protocol (BOOTP) server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/opt/obsolete/usr/sbin/bootpd [-c chdir-path] [-ttimeout] [-d debug-level] [configfile [dumpfile]]
OPTIONS
Sets the current directory used by a bootpd process while checking the existence and size of client boot files. This is useful when client
boot files are specified as relative pathnames and the bootpd process needs to use the same current directory as the TFTP server (typically
/tftpboot). Sets the debug-level variable that controls the number of debugging messages generated. For example, -d 4 sets the debugging
level to 4. Valid entries are 1 to 4, where 1 specifies lower level of messages and 4 the highest. Specifies the timeout value (in min-
utes) that a bootpd process waits for a BOOTP packet before exiting. If no packets are received for timeout minutes, the program exits. A
timeout value of zero means that a bootpd process will wait forever. When the bootpd daemon is not started using the inetd daemon, this
option is forced to zero.
DESCRIPTION
The bootpd daemon implements an Internet Boot Protocol server as defined in RFC 951, RFC 1532, and RFC 1533. In order to use the bootpd
daemon, you must install the Obsolete Commands and Utilities subset (OSFOBSOLETExxx). It can be started by the /usr/sbin/inetd daemon by
including the following line in the /etc/inetd.conf file: bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd bootpd
This causes bootpd to be started only when a boot request arrives. If bootpd does not receive another boot request within fifteen minutes
of the last one it received, it exits to conserve system resources. The -t option can be used to specify a different timeout value in min-
utes (for example, -t20). A timeout value of zero means forever.
To run the bootpd daemon, you must also run the tftpd daemon.
Upon startup, bootpd first reads its configuration file, /etc/bootptab, and then begins listening for BOOTREQUEST packets. See bootptab(4)
for a description of the configuration file. The bootpd daemon looks in /etc/services to find the port numbers it should use. Two entries
are extracted: The bootp server listening port The destination port used to reply to clients
If the port numbers cannot be determined this way, they are assumed to be 67 for the server and 68 for the client.
The bootpd daemon rereads its configuration file when it receives a hangup signal, SIGHUP, or when it receives a bootp request packet and
detects that the file has been updated. Hosts can be added, deleted, or modified when the configuration file is reread. If bootpd is com-
piled with the -DDEBUG option, receipt of a SIGUSR1 signal causes it to dump its memory-resident database to the /usr/adm/bootpd.dump file
or dumpfile specified in the command line.
RESTRICTIONS
Individual host entries must not exceed 1024 characters.
You cannot run bootpd and joind on the same system at the same time.
