Hi

The heart case is to built up a minimal Solaris 8 configuration for
compilation and installation of lotus notes 6!

now I buil up an solaris 8 sparc installation on a ultra 5 with a symbios
scsi card an on each scsi channel a multipack. Also disksuite is installied
for mirroring. The latest cluster (november 2002) is installed. The
installation was done as core and then with several modification (for
compilation etc.). After these modification the system shows following
packages installed:

system SFWaconf autoconf - GNU autoconf
system SFWamake automake - GNU automake

Importante configuration about services are:

last line in /etc/init.d/inetsvc was deactivated > #/usr/sbin/inetd -s &
the file and the link for inetd.conf was removed > /etc/inet/inetd.conf and
/etc/inetd.conf

The ps command shows after several modifications following active processes:

    root 0 0 0 18:00:09 ? 0:10 sched
    root 1 0 0 18:00:10 ? 0:00 /etc/init -
    root 2 0 0 18:00:10 ? 0:00 pageout
    root 3 0 0 18:00:10 ? 0:02 fsflush
    root 346 1 0 18:01:29 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/saf/sac -t 300
    root 349 346 0 18:01:30 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/saf/ttymon
    root 46 1 0 18:00:30 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sysevent/syseventd
    root 48 1 0 18:00:30 ? 0:00
/usr/lib/sysevent/syseventconfd
    root 347 1 0 18:01:29 console 0:00 /usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p
topos console login: -T sun -d /dev/console -l co
    root 130 1 0 18:01:15 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/utmpd
    root 120 1 0 18:01:14 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/cron
    root 118 1 0 18:01:14 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/syslogd

Then I was preparing the installation for Lotus Notes 6 from original CD
with the script command:

/cdrom/sunspa/install -script /root/filename.dat

the file filename.dat included following information:

script_rev="5.5"
target_hosts = ("topos")
installation_type = 0
template_install_option = 1
asp_install_option = 0
add_data_directories_only = 0
program_directory = "/opt/lotus"
data_UNIX_user = "msnotes"
data_UNIX_group = "msnotes"
data_directories: "/export/notesdata" {
      data_UNIX_user = "msnotes"
      data_UNIX_group = "msnotes"
      }

Installation will end without errors!

After that I prepared a a profile (-record) with the informatin required and
installed that profile with the command server -listen on the Lotus Notes
server. It will occour no error all OK. Then I logged in with the notes user
and was starting the server:

/opt/lotus/bin/server

after that all services pop3, smtp etc I will see under ps command but the
starting process goes in a loop with following errors "in" the active start
processes:

12/28/2002 17:34:31 Listener task for port TCPIP is suspending for 20
seconds due to listen errors
12/28/2002 17:34:51 Error on Listen function: 'bindsock' helper
application is missing, not executable, not owned by root, or not setuid
root.
12/28/2002 17:34:51 Error on Listen function: 'bindsock' helper
application is missing, not executable, not owned by root, or not setuid
root.
12/28/2002 17:34:51 Error on Listen function: 'bindsock' helper
application is missing, not executable, not owned by root, or not setuid
root.
12/28/2002 17:34:51 Listener task for port TCPIP is suspending for 20
seconds due to listen errors

I controlled several things but I couldn't find a solution......any ideas
what is missing! Missing a package?

kind regards

Andrea Soliva
