Error Starting Argus Daemon

[Welland, Neal]

Hi,

I have a user account "argus:other" and have set the following options in argus.conf:

ARGUS_ACCESS_PORT=561
ARGUS_CAPTURE_DATA_LEN=32
ARGUS_DAEMON=yes
ARGUS_DEBUG_LEVEL=0
ARGUS_FLOW_KEY="CLASSIC_5_TUPLE"
ARGUS_FLOW_STATUS_INTERVAL=5
ARGUS_FLOW_TYPE="Bidirectional"
ARGUS_GENERATE_APPBYTE_METRIC=yes
ARGUS_GENERATE_BIDIRECTIONAL_TIMESTAMPS=yes
ARGUS_GENERATE_JITTER_DATA=no
ARGUS_GENERATE_MAC_DATA=no
ARGUS_GENERATE_PACKET_SIZE=yes
ARGUS_GENERATE_RESPONSE_TIME_DATA=no
ARGUS_GO_PROMISCUOUS=yes
ARGUS_INTERFACE=nxge0
ARGUS_MAR_STATUS_INTERVAL=60
ARGUS_MONITOR_ID=`hostname`
ARGUS_OUTPUT_FILE=/datapool/cachi_int-rz1/tap.argus
ARGUS_PID_PATH="/var/run"
ARGUS_SET_PID=yes
ARGUS_SETGROUP_ID=other
ARGUS_SETUSER_ID=argus

I'm using sudo to get the necessary privileges:

/opt/csw/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/argus -F /etc/argus.conf

Neal.

Are you redefining the UID / GID through the argus.conf ?
And are you running as root ?

Hi again,

After successfully getting the argus daemon to compile on Solaris 10, I am now having problems starting it!

I get the following errors in /var/adm/messages:

Jan 22 16:09:11 cachi argus[22768]: [ID 324209 daemon.warning] 22 Jan 13 16:09:11.225846 started

Jan 22 16:09:11 cachi argus[22768]: [ID 218572 daemon.warning] 22 Jan 13 16:09:11.231164 stopped

Any ideas what ownership it's failing on?
