Tips on Interpreting HP-UX Error Messages
The file /usr/include/sys/errno.h contains a list of error returns
generated by HP-UX system calls.You can use the grep command to
locate the name associated with the HP-UX error number you received.
For example, if you received HP-UX Error 239, you could run the
following command:
$ grep 239 /usr/include/sys/errno.h
# define ECONNREFUSED 239 /* Connection refused */
You can then search for ECONNREFUSED in http://docs.hp.com. For
example, one reference returned at docs.hp.com from the errno (2)
manual page was the following:
ECONNREFUSED
Connection refused. No connection could be made because
the target machine activily refused it. This usually
results from trying to connect to a service that is
inactive on the foreign host.
Enabling Internet Services Governed by inetd
If users are unable to rlogin, telnet or remsh to a given system, it may
be because those services are not enabled on that system: the master
server for these services, inetd, may not be running, or the particular
service in question may be disabled.
Step 1. Log in as superuser on the console of the system that can’t be reached
remotely.
Step 2. Check that inetd is running:
ps -ef | grep inetd
