Hi all,

The logs one one of my Solaris 8 boxes got completely filled up (they
filled up the whole filesystem and disk!) with the following errors:

Dec 1 08:40:34 xxx inetd[180]: [ID 858011 daemon.warning]
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metad: Hangup
Dec 1 08:40:35 xxx inetd[180]: [ID 858011 daemon.warning]
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metamhd: Hangup
Dec 1 08:40:35 xxx inetd[180]: [ID 858011 daemon.warning]
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metad: Hangup

/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metamhd: Hangup
Dec 1 08:40:35 xxx inetd[180]: [ID 858011 daemon.warning]
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metad: Hangup
Dec 1 08:40:35 xxx inetd[180]: [ID 858011 daemon.warning]
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metamhd: Hangup
Dec 1 08:40:35 xxx inetd[180]: [ID 858011 daemon.warning]
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metad: Hangup

Does anybody know what this service is and the warnings are about?

Thanks for your help!
Michele
