While I'm on a roll...
I just finished installing HP-UX 7.0 (third time :-< )
I've configured our lan card, and installed all the
ARPA products.
When netlinkrc tries to start inetd at boot time I
get:
netlinkrc 103 Bad System call - core dumped
at about the spot where inetd is supposed to start.
Further investigation shows that it is inetd which
is failing. Starting inetd by hand, generating a log
file using the '-l' flag yields the following info:
"Caught signal 12
KILLING INETD on (date/time)
Unable to close semaphore: Invalid argument"
To successfully get inetd running, (the last time I
loaded HP-UX) it was necessary to rebuild a kernel
with System V semaphores.
Would some kind soul explain what's going on?
Why didn't I see this when I 'upgraded' to HP-UX 7.0
from HP-UX 6.5?
(ps: /usr/lib/sendmail seems to be doing something
similar. Does this guess make sense?)

Be sure you have the following entries in your dfile, and remake the kernel. lla lan01 nsdiag0 You probably also want: ptymas ptyslv nfs Good Luck, -jem -- John Milburn milburn@me10.lbl.gov (415) 486-6969 The fact is that one side thinks that the profits to be won outweigh the risks to be incurred, and the other side is ready to face danger than accept an immediate loss. --Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War

Compare the dfile you used to build this kernel (/etc/conf/dfile usually) with /etc/conf/dfile.full.lan to see what's missing. Better yet, just build a new kernel from dfile.full.lan. You may need to uncomment the nfs line in the dfile before building if you want nfs. -- Paul B.

Add the following to your /etc/conf/dfile: sema 1 then rebuild your kernel and you'll be in good shape. BTW, I've been told this (the lack of semaphores when you install networking) is fixed in 8.0.

As I recall (when I ran into the same problem) this was a plain old-fashioned bug in the config files shipped with 7.0. If you update the old config files are used and you get semaphores installed. I fixed it the same way you did and have been running fine since. The Response Center knew about it and helped me out. I'm sorry you didn't have similar help, sounds like you had to do it the hard way... --arne
