[comp.sys.apollo] Registry problems

wicinski@cmsun.nrl (Tim Wicinski) (01/11/89)

i have this problem from time to time where aegis, in a fit of incredible stupidity,
finds my username/password has expired.. what causes aegis to expire passwords? my only
recourse is to log in as someone else (normally root) and delete my entry, and readd it.
changung the password won't do it either. 

any ideas?

still waiting for sr10.0 to cause me more troubles,

		  llbd, glbd and rgyd seemed to be running fine, but then I tried
		edrgy, and it didn't start (unfortunately didn't save the error
		message).  Thougth, aha, maybe rgyd is trashed and killed it...
		Shouldn't have done that, because when trying to restart it I
		get:
		
		> Registry: Fatal Error - Cannot register server replica interface - 0X1C010001 -
		> communications failure (network computing system/RPC runtime)
		> Registry: Fatal Error - 0X9010006 - IOT instruction fault (UNIX/signal
	
	Sounds like the glbd is not 1) getting started before rgyd, or 2) accepting server requests
	to register. We have had troubles in the past when placing the GLBD and RGYD on the same
	node. Apparentally, GLBD is a real memory hog and the node spends much of its time paging.
	I would try rebuilding the GLBD with -create -first options and see if that clears things
	up. Also, if you decide to move GLBD to another node, make sure that node is up before the
	RGYD node so that the RGYD can register with the GLBD (need LLBD on both nodes). If you have
	multiple GLBDs there are other considerations when rebuilding the GLBDs (see Managing NCS 
	software).
		
		  Arghh! I'm no apollo expert, so I just rebooted the machine again.
		This time "rgyd" didn't start even on boot. It didn't complain when
		I started it manually, but it seems non-functional (hmm.. just now
		when I tried, it seems to have gotten something ok, could "su" again
		normally, but still cannot run "edrgy", I get...
	
	When you manually start the RGYD are you using /etc/server -p to start the RGYD as root; otherwise
	the registry server won't run with the needed rights.

	This is due to the initial problem.
	Hope this helps.
