The "tooltalk" databases(s) is corrupt, and the fix is easy... There
are two ways to do it.
1. Put the workstation in single user mode (initstate 1)
- for every directory "TT_DB" do
- rm -f /<path to TT_DB directory>/TT_DB/*
- delete all the files in the tooltalk database directories with
the command:
$ df -k | awk '{if (NR>1) print $6 "/TT_DB/*"}' | xargs rm -f
- boot to multiuser mode (initstate 3)
-OR-
2. From multi-user stat (initstat 3)
- comment out the line containing "rpc.ttdbserverd" in
/etc/inetd.conf
- issue the command "kill -HUP <pid of inetd process>"
- kill the rpc.ttdbserverd process
- delete all the files in the tooltalk database directories with
the command:
$ df -kF ufs | awk '{if (NR>1) print $6 "/TT_DB/*"}' | xargs rm -f
- un-comment the line containing "rpc.ttdbserverd" in
/etc/inetd.conf
- issue the command "kill -HUP <pid of inetd process>"
