Here was the problem:
I have a problem on several Solaris 7 systems which I administer. When
trying to use /usr/dt/bin/sdtperfmeter (the performance monitor accessed from
the CDE panel), all that comes up is a grey pulsating window with
Stdperfmeter:Warning at the top. I have seen this problem posted to
newsgroups and SunSolve, but no solution. Is this a bug? Is there a patch?
All of the systems are NIS clients (it seemed from some of the other postings
that may have something to do with it)
And the solution is:
I had commented out a bunch of lines in /etc/inetd.conf for security. As it turns
out, one of those lines was necessary for the peformance monitor. I re-added the
following line:
rstatd/2-4 tli rpc/datagram_v wait root /usr/lib/netsvc/rstat/rpc.rstatd
rpc.rstatd
to /etc/inetd.conf, pkill -HUP inet, and the performance monitor works fine now.
