- Error 13 in standard /usr/include/sys/errno.h is Permission denied. This might
- occur when a file system has been mounted read/only and the appropriate daemon
- or process is attempting to write to it. Not that many processes, however,
- write to /var/adm/messages so it should be fairly easy to track down.
- Just a thought.

-
- in.tftpd is the tftpd daemon started from inetd via /etc/services. tftpd (the
- Trivial File Transfer Protocol Daemon) is used by diskless clients to boot off
- another node. Since a diskless node only knows its Ethernet address (in an
- EPROM), it transmits a broadcast message to anyone on the net who might know its
- IP address. This is cross-matched in someone's /etc/ethers file so check here
- to see if someone is possibly booting off your node. Once the IP address has
- been established, it must have an "exports" area to boot off. This is usually
- found in the /etc/exports table which would show who is allowed to mount a FS
- called /usr/exports/{home,...} or the like. "Broken pipe" is displayed whenever
- a pipe is broken (gee, what a surprise :-) but seriously, it appears that the
- communication with the client was abruptly closed - perhaps the client's access
- to the network was dropped. This shouldn't have any effect on you, but the
- client will probably be in trouble.
-
- Ok, now that was from memory. Anyone else wanna verify this?

- Storm.
