UNIX Solaris
1

Hi Experts,

i have a solaris 9 OS and i get the following message repeated many time in my /var/adm/messages :

Oct 31 16:30:44 baobab rsh[16079]: [ID 365563 daemon.error] can't get stderr port: Cannot assign requested address

have you any idea how can i resolve this issue ??:confused:

thanks for help

This is a resource issue on the remote server you are connecting to. It usually means the server cannot/will not allocate a port to the process. Check the rshd man page, I have not been on 9 for several years.

On older Solaris boxes a reboot seems to clear the problem.

rsh has lots of problems, this is one of them. Consider using ssh keys. Youy appear to be using baobab to monitor disks, so setting up keys for the boabab user no big deal.
