---------- X-Sun-Data-Type: text X-Sun-Data-Description: text X-Sun-Data-Name: text X-Sun-Charset: us-ascii X-Sun-Content-Lines: 45 Original Question: Sun-admins, I currently have a system (SS20 - solaris 2.4) that has problem with the lmgrd. The process is running but users can't compile anything. Error Message below. The LM_LICENSE_FILE variable and paths are set correctly. License Error: Cannot connect to the license server (`hostname`) for product ( SPARCcompiler C) (License server may not have been started) I beleive the above error message stems from a problem with hostid. Because the `hostid` program complain about a non numeric string, which I never seen before. Error message below. # hostid hostid: hostid string returned by sysinfo not numeric: "" attached file 1 - lmgrd's log file. attached file 2 - truss on hostid. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Answer: A Bad eeprom chip.
