------Orignial Question------

Dear Sun Managers,

Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it? This
started occuring on my server (Sparc1 running 4.1.2) upon boot-up and I have
been unable to find or fix the problem.

Dec 12 06:35:52 sparcA mountd[174]: couldn't register TCP MOUNTPROG
Dec 12 06:35:53 sparcA inetd[161]: /usr/etc/rpc.mountd: exit status 1
Dec 12 06:35:54 sparcA mountd[175]: couldn't register TCP MOUNTPROG
Dec 12 06:35:54 sparcA inetd[161]: /usr/etc/rpc.mountd: exit status 1
.....
Dec 12 06:36:37 sparcA inetd[161]: /usr/etc/rpc.mountd: exit status 1
Dec 12 06:36:38 sparcA mountd[212]: couldn't register TCP MOUNTPROG
Dec 12 06:36:38 sparcA inetd[161]: /usr/etc/rpc.mountd: exit status 1
Dec 12 06:36:39 sparcA inetd[161]: mountd/rpc/udp server failing
(looping), service terminated

You might have an entry for mountd in both inetd and in rc.local.

I generally use rpc.mountd in the rc.local file instead of the
mountd entry in inetd.conf.

Remove one and the problem should go away.

===============================

My rpc.mountd is started by rc.local. The entry in my inetd.conf is
commented out.

===============================

Check if you have both a rpc.mountd daemon and
an /etc/inetd.conf file that allows mountd.

You should only have the first one for a normal site.
