Capturing Streams Error Messages

In Solstice X.25, the X.25, LAPB, and LLC2 drivers can generate streams error messages. The SunOS 5.x streams strerr (1M) daemon captures streams error messages. This daemon receives error messages and appends them to log files in /var/adm/streams. Log file names take the form error.mm-dd, where mm and dd indicate the month and day the messages were written to the file.

If you are experiencing problems with Solstice X.25 and are uncertain of the source, run strerr. If you receive a streams error message, contact your local Sun customer service representative.

You must be root to run the strerr daemon. Start it like this:

hostname# /usr/sbin/strerr &

The daemon runs until you kill it.

See the strerr man page for a description of the syntax of the messages in the streams error message file.
