SLD: Failed to start the PMD Connection thread. (PM_THREAD_FAILED_TO_START).
Hello,
I have a client with an 18 year old SCO Openserver 5.0.5 server.
They can't find their installation media.
They are experiencing an error at login:
*LOGIN: ERROR- Failed to initialize policy manager. (IFOR_PM_FATAL)
The status from the policy manager daemon (PMD - /etc/ifor_pmd) indicates
that a serious error condition has occurred. Login is allowed, but the
system administrator is strongly advised to consult the SCO online Support
Solutions Library (SSL) for assistance; if the SSL is inaccessible,
please contact your SCO Support representative.
Some research on this error indicates an issue with the PMD daemon.
Running a 'ps -ef' shows that the daemon is not running. I tried to start it via a '/etc/ifor_pmd' command and the following message is given:
SLD: Failed to start the PMD Connection thread. (PM_THREAD_FAILED_TO_START).
I'm not sure where to go on this to further debug and/or resolve.
Can anyone in this forum give me some direction.
Thanks.
Bryan Hunt
