RPC.STATD problem 1

[KenCunningham]

Hi folks,

my server is continually displaying the following console message:

PC.STATD:CANNOT TALK TO STATD AT; PING <IP ADDRESS>

Not being an expert in RPC, can anyone shed any light on what might be happening here, please?

TIA

remove all entries in /etc/sm.bak and reboot. Hopefully you problem is solved.

RPC Gone into La La.....Clnt:tcp: Unable to reach a particular
location.
Sometimes when you use nfs and a location or site that is mounted does not
come up, you can get all kinds of error messages on your screen. Some of
these messages are Clnt:tcp: or unable to reach a particular location. This
can slow down your entire system if not corrected.

There are several things that you can do. You can cd /etc and remove the
entry from the exports file for the particular host that is down and then reboot
your system. You can also check the /etc/filesystem file to see if anything is
listed there as an nfs mount.

You may need to do the following also:

lssrc -g nfs (to see if the nfs daemon is running)
stopsrc -s lockd
stopsrc -s statd
stopsrc -s portmap
stopsrc -s rpc.statd
stopsrc -s rpc.lockd
stopsrc -g nfs
stopsrc -g tcpip
cd /etc
rm state
cd /etc/sm (remove everything in this subdirectory)
cd /etc/sm.bak/ (remove everything in this subdirectory)
Then do a startsrc -s portmap
startsrc -s rpc.statd
startsrc -s lockd
startsrc -s rpc.lockd
startsrc -g nfs
startsrc -g tcpip

you might get errors that it is already running, that is ok. Do a lssrc -g nfs and
lssrc -g tcpip and see that they are all up

This should solve most of your problems. Remember the portmap daemon
should be restarted first.

Thanks Aixqueen - that's excellent. I appreciate the background info. I needed this sorted before I went on holiday next week and both you and bolleboos have come up trumps. Many thanks - have a great Jubilee!

Guys..

I have a problem with AIX Security.. I am unable to su to ids exists in the System.. It says cannot set process environment..

I have already checked all the permissions in /etc/group
/etc/security/user /etc/security/group /etc/security/limits
/etc/passwd

Everything seems alright..Any idea why Login shell is unable to set process environment for user..?
