Problems with NIS
SoftBench requires that an entry be added to the /etc/services file.
This is normally done for you when SoftBench is installed.
If your /etc/services file is managed via the Network Information
Service (NIS), an error message will appear in the install log file. If this
is the case, you need to manually add the following SoftBench entries to
the services file on the NIS master system:
spc 6111/tcp # Sub-process control
softcm 6110/tcp # SoftBench CM
If you are installing only the SoftBench CM server on a system with NIS,
you need to create the following entry in the NIS master map for
/etc/services:
softcm 6110/tcp # SoftBench CM
Other SoftBench Installation Problems
The SoftBench installation performs a number of automated
customizations for you. These include:
• The entry “spc” is added to the /etc/inetd.conf file. Entries for
spc and mserve are added to the /var/adm/inetd.sec file. Refer
to “Controlling Access and Security in SoftBench” on page 56 for
information on customizing the inetd.sec file.
• An entry for “softcm” is added to the /etc/inittab file. This entry is
described in “Adding a SoftBench CM entry to /etc/inittab” on page
39.
If one of the installation logfiles indicates a problem during installation,
you may need to perform one or more of these steps manually.
