Problem with FAM

Hi all,

My FAM daemon doesn't seem to work properly.  Everytime I reboot it seems to be fine at startup (I see the [DONE] message), but when I shutdown it gives an [ERROR] symbol.

So, I decided to stop and start it manually to see what was going on.  I went to /etc/rc.d and ran "fam restart". I get:

:: Stopping File Alteration Monitor                                      [FAIL]
:: Starting File Alteration Monitor                                      [DONE]

It seems that when I start it, it shows that it's successful, but in /var/log/daemon.log it shows:

Apr 25 11:29:25 nazgul famd[5508]: can't register with portmapper.

(note: 'nazgul' is my hostname)

Does anyone know anything about the portmapper and how to set it up?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Problem with FAM

Ok this is a little embarressing but I solved it  :oops:

It turns out that I need to have the network rc.d script running too.  I recompiled my kernel with network built in, but this script requires that I have it as a module it seems.

so, in /etc/rc.d/ I ran:
./network restart
./portmap restart
./fam restart

and all went well ...

Re: Problem with FAM

Also, fam is set by default to time out after 5 minutes of idle time.  So, you can fine the line in /etc/fam/fam.con that looks like this...
idle_timeout = 5

and change it to this..

idle_timeout = 0

Hope this helps.
