Yesterday I wrote how using the patched /sbin/mount in T64V51B19-C0136901-15143-ES-20020817.tar killed a running mountd with "User defined signal 1". I reported this to Compaq support, and within 24 hours they had the solution: > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > Sounds like /usr/sbin/mountd and /usr/sbin/mount are out of sync. > > In the v51supportos stream, version 4.3.225.1 of /usr/sbin/mountd > introduced the logic which sends the SIGUSR1 signal to mountd. The > corresponding change in mountd is version 4.2.152.1. > > What versions of mountd and mount are provided in the patch? What > versions of mountd and mount are running on the customer system? > --------------------------------------------------------------------- The PK5/BL19 megapatch (t64v51b19as0005-20020411.tar, that I had not installed) provides a replacement mountd of the "right" version. This problem was caused by me attempting to install the latest security patch "by hand", without the required megapatch.
