When I run amcheck I get 'selfcheck request timed out' while trying to
connect to localhost on a new installation on a NetBSD machine
I'm checking out. NetBSD 1.5 on a Mac Quadra 660av with an Exabyte
8500 drive; in case it matters.
I remember getting this error on other installations. It seems to get
me every time I do a new install or even an update on an old machine.
>From time to time it is the missed typo in inetd.conf or permissions
in /etc/osts.allow. Other times it is something truly mysterious to
me, that I can ignore because I usually manage to get it working. I
have found that with a machine with two ethernet interfaces, each with
its own IP and name, one will work and the other will fail. I have
found cases where I need to put both the user and the operator in
inetd.conf.
Does anyone have a complete list of what causes this error message? I
keep thinking about what it could be and then I try something. If it
fixes it I stop (and forget exactly what I did to get it working). I
have seen notes about using lsof to debug, but that is tricky when the
client and server are on the same machine.
