I've got a customer running UCX 4.1 (just updated from 3.3)
on VAX VMS 6.1.
UCX$NTPD.LOG contains recurring error message:
* gethostbyname(ntp server name here) error, errno 65535
but the NTPD process contiues to run fine.
Any idea what this error is?
Thanks.
Jay

> * gethostbyname(ntp server name here) error, errno 65535 Jay, You might want to check out how DEC C handles errno. 65535 looks suspiciously, to me, like the vms specific errno code which says 'look in vaxc$errno for the VMS condition code for the real error". I try my best to stay away from errno, so I'm not sure, but I think that decc kept vaxc$errno as a name instead of changing it to decc$errno. But then again, I could be wrong/confused. Since NTP appears to tell you nothing about vaxc$errno/ decc$errno, the message means "Nah, Nah, your hosed and we are not going to tell you how". Now, you could file an IPMT on NTP and there is a chance that the people who wrote this code would get the feedback.... (Clue: it was not written in LKG) I hope this helps, Lee | |||||

Hi Lee.
Thanks for the reply.
RE IPMT:
I think I might just do that.
RE "Nah, Nah, your hosed and we are not going to tell you how".
So 65535 == "Hah-hah" as in Nelson from The Simpsons, eh?
