Sun Bug # 4070627 The Solaris 2.6 5/98 distribution did not include /usr/openwin/bin/Xaserver but the inetd.conf still refers to it. remarking out or removing the line in inetd.conf fixes the problem. Having the system busy looking for Xaserver will cause new sessions to fail as memory is consumed. L.
I can confirm that the Solaris 2.6 HW 3/98 distribution also "includes" the nonexistent /usr/openwin/bin/Xaserver (X audio server) in /etc/inet/inetd.conf , and that commenting out the unnecessary service in /etc/inet/inetd.conf and restarting inetd with a HUP signal rectifies the problem. This weekend I will see if the original Solaris 2.6 distribution (August 1997) as well as Solaris 2.5.1 "include" Xaserver in /etc/inet/inetd.conf. signal -- Eugene Bradley -- Just Another Random Solaris administrator eugene.bradley () erols com | I don't work for Erol's -- they're just my ISP to me.
