- TOPIC: inetd rpc applications
- HARDWARE: SPARC
- OS: SunOS 4.1.1
-
- Given that rpcgen -I fails to produce correct code for inetd-tcp-nowait
- entries, does anyone happen to have tested server stubs used for
- inetd-tcp-nowait entries that they would be willing to share?
-
- Also, the last Stevens text on page 339 says that there are no 4.3BSD
- inetd-tcp-wait flag applications. Does anyone know if this remains
- true?
-
- In order to simulate concurrent servers, we are considering defining
- <n> inetd-tcp-wait servers with clients randomly selecting a server
- with a uniform distribution, and hoping client time-outs are
- sufficient to account for delays. Does anyone have opinions to offer
- on this?
-
- Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
- --------
-
-
- Following is the rpcgen bug report we discovered painfully late after many
- futile attempts at creating an inetd-tcp-nowait entry:
-
- Bug Id: 1065359
- Category: doc
- Subcategory: network
- Release summary: 4.1.1
- Synopsis: rpcgen -I does not work together with nowait servers
- Integrated in releases: 5.0
- Summary:
- rpcgen -I produces rpc-code which could only be used for server
- with the flag wait in /etc/inetd.conf. This is neither
- documented in the man-page of rpcgen nor in the RPC-Programming
- Manual.
