Howdy all,

OS: Solaris 9. SAN Media Server.

When I exec() the /etc/init.d/netbackup script I am seeing the following errors 
via syslog.

Jun  6 12:50:31 hostname.dsto.defence.gov.au vmd[28983]: [ID 625030 
daemon.error] unable to obtain bound socket, no port number available for vmd 
(0)
Jun  6 12:50:31 hostname.dsto.defence.gov.au vmd[28983]: [ID 423164 
daemon.error] terminating - daemon cannot obtain socket (58)
Jun  6 12:50:31 hostname.dsto.defence.gov.au vmd[28983]: [ID 715111 
daemon.error] volume daemon terminating because it received a signal (15)
Jun  6 12:50:31 hostname.dsto.defence.gov.au vmd[28983]: [ID 164182 
daemon.error] terminating - daemon terminated (7)

I cannot connect to port 13782 :(

There is a technote on seer.veritas about this error and it basically says that
there this error will occur if the necessary services are not listed in 
/etc/services. I
have checked and all required services are listed in /etc/services.

Essentially the problem is, is that vmd will not exec(), because it cannot bind
to its socket/port (13701). I have even truss(1)'d the execuction of vmd.

And no there are no other processes bound to port 13701.

Can anyone recommend why vmd would be unable to bind to its port ?

Cheers
