What were you trying to do?
work after rebooting my workstation
What went wrong?
I was getting periodic syslogs of the form:
SYSLOG, tla, daemon.err, root@TLA
Mar 20 02:06:58 [DELIVERATOR.MIT.EDU] inetd[1210]: write/tcp: bind: Address already in use
I have seen this happen before, and I suspect that it happens
periodically one cluster machines too.
What should have happened?
inetd should have been able to bind the write port
Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
yeah, lsof isn't nearly as hard to build as I expected.
among other things, it reported:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF INODE NAME
rpc.lockd 210 root 3u inet 0x8a7e6e88 0t0 TCP *:write
killing rpc.statd and inetd and restarting rpc.statd caused it to bind
to a different port, I assume it uses some sort of dynamic allocation.
It would be nice if we could remove 811 from the list of available
ports.
