On Mandrake 9.2 with kernel 2.4.22.18 we have EntireX v711 installed. I’ve obeyed the installation instructions, and everything went fine. It is installed to the default install directory (/opt/sag). I’ve installed it as root. I am able to start/stop NTD through the init script /etc/init.d/ntd. The problem is that all binaries from EntireX’s bin directory (dcomcnfg, regsvr, sermon) complain that NTD is not running: “1 Error: NTD is not running at the moment, please start it before using NT services.” although it is. With “ps -ef | grep sag” I’ve verified that paulas, rpcss and ntd are really running. What can be the cause of this problem? No signature ---

The problem solved itself. I was on and on trying to run NTD through /etc/init.d/ntd, and didn’t succeed. It is supposed to run NTD under the sag user (and sag group) and it does, but it doesn’t work. I’ve tried ‘ntwopper ntd’ in a sag login konsole (‘su - sag’), and it started working. – No signature ---
