what is dpid2.log? 2

[Einstein47]

There is this file, /var/tmp/dpid2.log, that seems to keep growing until it consumes all free var file system space. What is it? What causes it? How can I stop it from growing?

I have used fuser and nothing is returned back.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Einstein47

Can you read it ?

What's in it ?

it's a log for dpid subagent for snmpd - do you really need it?

This is a tail on the file:

 4/30  6:01:56 dpid2    05676 (root    )  request
 4/30  6:01:56 dpid2    05676 (root    )  smux_wait: invalidOperation [smux_wait: SMUX not opened]
 4/30  6:01:56 dpid2    05676 (root    )  request
 4/30  6:02:01 dpid2    05676 (root    )  smux_init: systemError [join_tcp_server failed: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.]

The top four lines are repeated over and over, and the last line is only in there once.

I don't know what a smux_init could be. Any suggestions? Einstein47

It is created by the dpid2 daemon, which is a useless component of snmp. To stop it, run ...

stopsrc -s dpid2


And to stop it from comming back at startup, comment out the line in /etc/rc.tcpip:

start /usr/sbin/dpid2 "$src_running"

Thanks everyone - I doubt I need dpid2 because we aren't using snmp. I would give you all stars, but some of you are visitors. Registering has its benefits.

Thanks again, Einstein47
