Hi all,

I have problems starting rpc.mountd on my 4.3.3 box. lssrc -g nfs
tells me that rpc.mountd is inoperative, and if I try to start it, it
will die.

I have seen messages related to this problem on this newsgroup but no
definite way around this.

Please share the knowledge if you encountered the same problem and
found a solution.

Thanks in advance,

Nitin

When trying to find out why SRC daemons are misbehaving I try to get
as much info as possible:

1) Round up the usual suspects, ie, check errpt, /var/adm/ras/conslog,
if console is redirected to a file (check using lscons) then examine
the file.

2) odmget -q 'subsysname=rpc.mountd' SRCsubsys
This is to check the command that will be run and any arguments.

3) Try running the command yourself without going through SRC, does it
work or not, are any error messages generated, etc.

4) Change /etc/syslog.conf to include a daemon.debug entry, refresh
syslogd, and then attempt to start the failing daemon, check the
syslog file for messages.
