Hi,
We are supporting a Client/Server application that uses the Digital
UNIX system as a server, with Windows NT on the front end. If we have the
situation, were we need to restart the server, we receive the following error
message, when restarting the server.
"ERROR IN SETTING THE PROTOCOL 382312451"
"Error: rpc_server_listen() returned"
This occurs even when the rpccp entry has been deleted on the server. The
problem is traced to the clients keeping the endpoint open on the server. This
can be seen with the unix command "netstat -a", the clients connected are
displayed. To close the endpoint we have to stop the application on all of the
NT systems listed by the netstat command. Unfortunatly the users are spread
throughout the world, and contacting them is a time consuming process. Does
anybody know how we could terminate the connection from the NT clients, from
the UNIX server?
Restarting IP is not an option, as we are running many servers.
