We've been getting email from one of our Solaris 10 servers, and I can't figure out precisely where it's coming from. It's a system call "Auto Service Request" or ASR, and produces and email like this: You requested the following events be forwarded to you from wwdsvpciss2
Site : City of Winnipeg 510 Main St Agent : wwdsvpciss2 Severity : Major Category : agent Device Id : wwdsvpciss2 Topic : System Event Type : NotifierFailedEvent Event Code : 4.72.582 Event Date : 2013-09-26 03:29:30
Description: An attempt to contact the ASR server resulted in a Connection timed out failure.
Probable Cause: The ASR has indicated a problem processing the posted data. The cause may be due to an internal server failure, invalid settings locally, or due to the
Recommended Action: Examine the reason indicated in the description. If the reason indicates a server failure, then back end support will need to be notified. If the connection was refused, verify the Sun Connection Configuration settings first, then verify with back end support that the server is operational.
It seems like there is a package responsible for this called "SUNWswasr" except that's not installed on this machine! I've checked all kinds of logs and it also doesn't seem to have a trace in crontab. Magic? Please suggest some other places to look! We want to stop getting these messages or at least direct them to a different account.
Thanks, Kevin
