Hi I have 5 Redhat 4.6 RHES servers which I've installed HP dataprotector in exactly the same manner. For 3 of them, each time after reboot the Dataprotector "omni" process would listen on Tcp 5555 (netstat -a confirms this) However for 2 of them, DP "omni" is not auto-started up after each reboot & I have to issue "service xinetd restart" to start it up. Can see that in all 5 servers, /etc/xinetd.d/omni is present & the contents are the same. I've also created a startup script in /etc/rc3.d/S99startomni & in /etc/rc5.d/S99startomni which contain just one line : service xinetd restart but still after each reboot, it won't start up the omni service What's wrong? The 2 servers with problem was hardened by an external vendor so not exactly sure what's been done Thanks Roger
