dpid2.log

[alexhu]

This log keeps growing on my H70 - I've had IBM look at the problem and they didn't really explain what the dpid2 daemon is and if I should have it running.

I run Oracle 8.0.5 and 9.0.1 on this box and need the Oracle Intelligent Agent for interface with HP Openview.

Do I need to run the dpid2 daemon ?

dpid2 is an outdate SNMP service. Unless you're using SNMP, you don't need this. You can disable this in /etc/rc.tcpip.

hungdaemon is right. It's part of SNMP, and AIX is set up such that it slowly consumes disk space as part of the default installation.

It's part of my standard AIX installation procedure to get rid of dpid2.

OK - thanks I'll disable it and see what occurs !
