RE: Solaris 8 Sparc Lotus Notes 6 error on listener bindsock helper application is missing ~Umberto Nongeroson 30.Dec.02 08:30 PM a Web browser Domino Server 6.0Solaris
As the error message says:
Error on Listen function: 'bindsock' helper application is missing, not executable, not owned by root, or not setuid root.
The program / executable called bindsock which should be in the Domino executable directory is either missing (i.e. not there), not executable, not owned by root (this program listens on sockets with low numbers and thus must run as root - the server for security reasons is never run as root and it asks this program to do TCPIP listens for POP3, SMTP, etc. If you just cp'ed this executable and failed to chown to root it will not work) or not setuid root.
