First my thanks to Michael Grice, Stuart Little (??? :)) and Eric van de
Meerakker for their tips into solving this issue.
I found than the problem was that TCP wrappers was not letting me to
reach the daemons required by metatool. I use TCP wrappers to protect
all the daemons that rely on inetd.
1) On the /etc/inetd.conf i have the following:
# rpc.metad
#100229/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metad rpc.metad
100229/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root
/usr/local/bin/tcpd /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metad
# rpc.metamhd
#100230/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metamhd rpc.metamhd
100230/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root
/usr/local/bin/tcpd /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metamhd
2) Added the following two lines to the server /etc/hosts.allow (the
server is behind the firewall and for some reason localhost,
127.0.0.0/32 or the internal network didn't seem to work on this
machine. Other servers doesn't show the same problem):
rpc.metamhd:ALL
rpc.metad:ALL
After that metatool seemed to work fine.
Thanks to all and i hope this anyone with the same problem.
