First my thanks to Michael Grice, Stuart Little (??? :)) and Eric van de Meerakker for their tips into solving this issue. I found than the problem was that TCP wrappers was not letting me to reach the daemons required by metatool. I use TCP wrappers to protect all the daemons that rely on inetd. 1) On the /etc/inetd.conf i have the following: # rpc.metad #100229/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metad rpc.metad 100229/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root /usr/local/bin/tcpd /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metad # rpc.metamhd #100230/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metamhd rpc.metamhd 100230/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root /usr/local/bin/tcpd /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metamhd 2) Added the following two lines to the server /etc/hosts.allow (the server is behind the firewall and for some reason localhost, 127.0.0.0/32 or the internal network didn't seem to work on this machine. Other servers doesn't show the same problem): rpc.metamhd:ALL rpc.metad:ALL After that metatool seemed to work fine. Thanks to all and i hope this anyone with the same problem.
