Is this on a RH6 or RH7 box?
RH6:
Check that /etc/inetd.conf contains the line:
vsd stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/vsd vsd
If it does, try restarting inetd: /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart
RH7:
Check that /etc/xinetd.conf contains the section:
service vsd
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
server = /usr/sbin/vsd
}
and that the defaults section allows connections from the machine that
you are executing vsdadm from (for more on xinetd configuration, try:
http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/November2000/article175.shtml). If
both of these exist (or after adding them) restart xinetd:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinet restart
Both of these sections should have been added during vsd-install.pl. If
you are working with a source install the 'vsd' command line should be
'/usr/local/sbin/vsd'.
Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any further problems,
Damion
