Environment

Open Enterprise Server 11 (OES 11)
Open Enterprise Server 2015 (OES2015)

Situation


ncpserv.log gets flooded with messages like :

"2016-04-08 00:14:46] PollForNewConnections : Error in reading one or all of the socket options TCP_KEEPIDLE, TCP_KEEPCNT and TCP_KEEPINTVL!".

As a result of this, the log file increases in size very quickly.

Resolution

This has been resolved with the various July '16 Scheduled Maintenance updates for OES 11 & OES 2015.

Cause

The problem occurred because an invalid socket fd (-1 or a closed socket) was passed as an argument in getsockopt() call.
