Hello,
I have a recently installed ipf built from source - ip_fil3.4.31.tar on SunOS 5.8
Generic_108528-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine. I noticed that ipfstat -t
exits with the error:
open: No such file or directory
When I truss the command I can see that obvioulsy the the device file for ipstate is
missing. I have plenty of rules using the "keep state" option too.
truss ipfstat -t
open("/dev/ipf", O_RDONLY) = 5
ioctl(5, 0xC0087240, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFF808) = 0
ioctl(5, 0x4004723F, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFF6E0) = 0
open("/dev/ipstate", O_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT
brk(0x80106830) = 0
brk(0x8010A830) = 0
openwrite(2, " o p e n", 4) = 4
: write(2, " : ", 2) = 2
No such file or directorywrite(2, " N o s u c h f i l e".., 25) = 25
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
lseek(0, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 11392
_exit(-1)
This is further confirmed by:
> ls -l /dev/ipstate
/dev/ipstate: No such file or directory
Did something get missed during the pkgadd stage? I didn't see an error either during
the "make solaris" or pkgadd. Can I install this file with a mknod command? If so what
are the major and minor numbers? Thanks in advance
