The java log files are, I believe, in /usr/openv/java/logs.

Hello.

Yesterday night, I switched the user and group database on our Sparc 
Solaris 10 NB6.0 MP4 system from files (ie. /etc/group & /etc/passwd &
/etc/shadow) to LDAP (OpenLDAP 2.3.31, running on the same host). In
/etc/nsswitch.conf, I've changed (complete nsswitch.conf at 
<http://askwar.pastebin.ca/449498>):

passwd:     files ldap
group:      files ldap

All the other databases (hosts, services, ...) are untouched; ie. they
are set to "files". I only moved the following users to LDAP - none
of them has anything to do with NBU:

apfister, askwar, bea81, conf, dev1, dev2, dev3, dev4, dev5, dev6, dev7,

hwieneck, monitor, tcalpha50, tcalpha51, tcasos, tcbeta50, tcbeta51, 
tce501, tce510, tcpre50, tcpre51, tcpro51, tcpro, tcref50, tcref51,
tomcat

Since after that change, I cannot login to the Java Console from another
(Linux, non-LDAP) machine by running /usr/openv/java/jnbSA. When I click
on "Login", I get an error message:

        Unable to login, status: 525
        Can not connect to the NB-Java
        authentication service via VNETD on
        winds06 on port 13724.  Check
        the log file for more details.

Well - what log file?

On winds06 (the server that I'm trying to login to), I ran 
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/mklogdir, which created all the logdirs
in the logs directory; among them is a vnetd directory. But there's
nothing in there. The only files that have been created directly
after I ran are

admin/log.042007
bpcompatd/log.042007
bpdbjobs/log.042007
bpdbm/log.042007
bpjobd/log.042007
bplist/log.042007
bprd/log.042007
nbproxy/log.042007

You can find them at
<http://alexander.skwar.name/~askwar/stuff/netbackup-log-files.tar>.

When I, with root perms, run "/usr/openv/bin/vnetd" manually, a
file IS created in the vnetd directory. Contents:

askwar at winds06 /usr/openv/netbackup/logs $ cat vnetd/log.042007 
09:33:45.174 [8772] <2> logparams: /usr/openv/bin/vnetd 
09:33:45.175 [8772] <2> ProcessRequests: vnetd.c.284: msg:
getsockname(5) failed

Restarting inetd (by running "svcadm restart inetd") did also not help.

What's going wrong there? Why does vnetd not start?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
