TCP/IP error func: 0004h - 6.01 - Solaris 8

“Unexpected TCP/IP error func: 0004h error Notes: 1C5B, NTI: 1000h, Stack: 0000271Dh”.

This is the message we get when starting TCPIP services (SMTP,POP3, etc…) on Domino 6.01 on Sun Sparc Solaris 8.

we found out that changing SMTP port to 2500 works!

the Solaris admin doc states that all ports below 1024 must be owned by root (thus using 250 for SMTP did not work)

Domino is started with “notes” user, belonging to “notes” group. The doc hints that we should start domino with “root” privileges…

is this a bug? what did we do wrong? is there a workaround?

Thanks…

You should never start Domino as Root. Domino runs a separate process (which is installed as being owned by root), bindsock, to manage serving TCPIP ports whose numbers are <1024.

You need to resolve your problem in another way. Have you contacted Lotus support?

well, thanks!

a previous chown -r overwrote bindsock ownership with notes:notes

putting root back as owner of bindsock did the trick )

thanks again )
