Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2)
SLES 10sp1 64bit
Linux User Managerment (LUM)
NAMCD

Situation

NAMCD cores when starting up

All 64bit OES2 servers, pointing to the same base in the /etc/nam.conf, core when starting NAMCD.


Resolution

The Unix Workstation Context was not configured on the Unix Config object.

Added the Unix Workstation Context to the Unix Config object. The attribute uamPosixWorkstationContexts needs to be added to the Unix Config object with the context of where the Unix Workstation objects are located.

At the terminal typed: "namconfig cache_refresh"  (restarts namcd and clears the cache)

Now the NAMCD starts without coring the box.
